FAQ
Questions about library management under Circular 16
What does Circular 16/2022/TT-BGDĐT cover?
Circular 16/2022/TT-BGDĐT sets library standards for preschools and general schools in Vietnam, covering resources, facilities, equipment, activities and management. eLib360 helps schools measure the criteria tied to software and digital resources.
Which Circular 16 indicators does eLib360 measure?
The e-resource ratio, the share of teachers and students reading or borrowing in the school year, copies per student, inter-library sharing and the six Level 2 software criteria.
Do we enter the figures by hand?
No. They are calculated from reads, loans and published items in eLib360. Schools only declare their grade levels so the right thresholds apply.
What format is the evidence exported in?
Circular 16 evidence exports to Word. Library entry logs export to CSV or Word; circulation and stock reports export to Excel.
Does using eLib360 make our library meet Circular 16?
Not on its own. Reading rooms, space, staff and budget are the school's responsibility. eLib360 covers digital resources, search, circulation and activity figures.
What if our school has not declared its grade levels?
The Circular 16 tab reports that the threshold cannot be determined. School admins declare grade levels so figures are compared with the right threshold.
