Digital library Until now, when referring to the library, people often think of the rooms filled with books and paper documents. But the digital transformation trend is gradually changing the way traditional libraries operate, opening a new era in which paper books no longer have a unique position. That method is electronic library, also known as digital library. Digital library is one of the solutions to promote reading culture In the past, documents and paper books in the library often did not have a long lifespan due to complicated preservation process and many difficulties. Each book has been used many times, as well as the negative impacts from the environment such as mold, insects, … On the other hand, some school units still have difficulty, so traditional libraries are only capable There are enough books for a certain number of students. The emergence of the digital library form is gradually solving the problems of traditional libraries. Specifically, the seminar on reading culture in the digital transformation period taking place on April 19 in Ho Chi Minh City mentioned the advantages of e-libraries in stimulating the reading habits of subjects. students and students of all levels. “Thanks to the electronic library, reading can now take place anywhere,” said Mr. Ibadulla Yoldas – vice principal of Horizon International School.

According to Mr. Yoldas: “Digital library is the solution, an idea for schools to apply in teaching and learning”. Audiobooks The digital transformation process in Vietnam is forming a new habit for modern readers – the habit of “listening to books”. This is said to be the result of real needs of modern young people who do not have much time but still want to cultivate their knowledge. In fact, many hours a day are wasted.

Up to 70% of them could not distinguish the artificial voice from books and real human voices ”. According to ICT Vietnam, our country is similar to the international audiobook market in general and the US market in particular in terms of the structure of listeners.

This forces families and schools to have strategies for children to adapt to the reading culture. Instead of the time for children to watch entertainment programs, parents should join their children to access online reading applications, read interactive books with their children … At the same time, it is necessary to give children a reading space. New books, stimulate children to find books and help children feel comfortable reading. Online books with interactive programs are a solution to help form reading habits for children Talking about the issue of forming reading habits for children, Mr. Nguyen Nguyen – Director of the Publishing Department emphasized: The habit of reading books for children must originate from families and schools. It is necessary for the children to have space to read books, time to read books, and then form the reading habits so that they love books. And Mr. Nguyen Nguyen also affirmed: “Publishing capacity in Vietnam is not weak, but the reading culture is not high. Digital transformation will help narrow that gap and stimulate reading culture ”./.
