Mr. Nguyen Xuan Dung, Director of the National Library of Vietnam, said: In recent years, the library industry has achieved remarkable achievements in building digital databases and developing modern library services.

However, the digital transformation journey also poses a big challenge: how to preserve the valuable digital information resources that we have created and are creating in the long term; ensuring that these valuable resources can exist, be accessed and used for future generations.

Data preservation is not just about backing up data, but is a continuous process that includes managing and migrating data across different formats and technology environments to combat software and hardware obsolescence. Therefore, the training course is not only a professional event but also a forum for learning, exchanging and finding positive solutions for the future.
