Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to design a collaborative model amongst faculty and librarian to support teaching and research congruent with the Vietnamese context.Design/methodology/approachThe mix-method research is used in three stages to (1) study the situation and problems of faculty-librarian collaboration by using semi-structured interviews with 29 participants, (2) survey factors influencing the collaboration from 455 samples, (3) evaluate and arrange the influence level of factors from 18 experts' perspectives.FindingsThe research results show that in order to enhance the quality and gain goals of the collaboration, it is necessary to meet three elements, in which universities must (1) meet essential conditions and factors, (2) identify collaborative objectives and activities, collaborative process/guidelines, and evaluating collaboration; and (3) clarify the participation and support of stakeholders to achieve common outcomes.Research limitations/implicationsThis study carried out with representatives for key informant group at four universities in Vietnam, thus, the research results could not cover all current situation of the faculty–librarian collaboration at universities.Originality/valueThis paper provides the detail picture of faculty–librarian collaboration practices and factors having influence this activity at Vietnamese universities. Then, the findings help administrators, faculty and librarians understand and deploy a reasonable plan in accordance with the university's features to enhance the effectiveness and success of the faculty–librarian collaboration.

发展教师与图书馆员合作模式，支持越南大学的教学与研究

目的本论文旨在设计一个教师与图书馆员之间的合作模式，以支持符合越南背景的教学与研究。设计/方法/方法混合方法研究分为三个阶段:(1)通过对29名参与者的半结构化访谈来研究教师与图书馆员合作的现状和问题;(2)从455个样本中调查影响教师与图书馆员合作的因素;(3)从18个专家的角度评估和整理因素的影响程度。研究结果表明，高校要提高协作质量，实现协作目标，必须满足三个要素，即高校必须(1)满足必要的条件和要素;(2)确定协作目标和活动;确定协作过程/指导方针;(3)明确利益相关者的参与和支持，以实现共同成果。研究局限/启示本研究仅针对越南四所大学的关键信息者群体代表进行，因此，研究结果无法涵盖大学教师与图书馆员合作的所有现状。原创性/价值本文详细介绍了越南大学教师与图书馆员合作的实践和影响这一活动的因素。然后，研究结果有助于管理人员、教师和图书馆员根据大学的特点理解和部署合理的计划，以提高教师与图书馆员合作的有效性和成功率。
