Mr. Hoang Ngoc Tuan presented the extensive library resources at HUTECH to students and researchers
According to Mr. Tuan, learners need to clearly define their research scope and selectively search for relevant information, categorize resources from primary to secondary, narrow down topics using structured approaches, and apply certain search algorithms and tools for organizing and storing materials effectively (including the use of Zotero reference management software).
Mr. Hoang Ngoc Tuan emphasized the importance of clearly defining search needs and selecting reliable sources
With the valuable information shared during the workshop, HUTECH’s master's and doctoral students are now better equipped to update their skills in reference material search, academic information resource utilization, and proper citation techniques, all of which will significantly support their studies and research projects in the coming time.
