Online consultation on the morning of March 23rd.

After more than 10 hours of serious and diligent work, carried out with the highest sense of responsibility by both teachers and students, the graduation thesis defense ceremony for students of the QH-2009-X cohort of the Faculty of Information and Library Science was successfully concluded. In the late afternoon of the same day, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Quy (Chairperson of the Council) summarized the defense ceremony.

Accordingly, all graduation theses were highly evaluated by the defense committee not only for their presentation style and scientific content, but also for their methods of summarizing the thesis content and the students' ability to present their research results.

In terms of content, research directions not only focus on traditional, in-depth knowledge of the Information and Library Science field but also include new research topics and updated scientific knowledge and achievements applied in the field, such as: Organization and operation of modern information centers and libraries; Digitization of documents and building digital collections; Event organization in information and library activities; Open information access; Application of Facebook social network in information and library activities; Virtual library model and Google Books project; Marketing in information and library activities; Multimedia libraries; Private libraries serving the community; Reading culture…

In terms of format, the theses were presented according to the University's regulations and were well-printed. Regarding the ability to summarize the thesis content and present it, most students summarized their research content very well and presented confidently, answering questions from the reviewers and the committee well. However, some theses did not comply with the University's presentation regulations, resulting in incorrect arrangement of references, abbreviations, and citations. Ultimately, all 32 students (100%) achieved a score of 9.0 or higher.

This is the second academic year that the Faculty of Information and Library Science has organized early thesis defenses for fourth-year students who completed their studies ahead of schedule, since the adoption of the credit-based training system. This result has received positive feedback from both students and employers, thereby creating new opportunities for Information and Library Science students at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities to find employment sooner after graduation.
