Our Inclusive Library for Sustainable Development is as a pioneering initiative in Vietnam, committed to innovative ideas on green resource use (paper, water, electricity) following the 3R's principle “Reduce-Reuse-Recycle"; green accessibility and green shared economy (approachability of services, information resources, physical space, facilities, eco-commute); green energy and resource (energy conservation, wastewater reuse and water use reduction, paperless); green library team and green office. The 6 GREEN Policy (Green Use, Green Resource, Green Bin, Green Donation, Green Office, Green Knowledge Sharing), which was established by the GREEN Inspiration organization, and our Library Green Office Principles are also aligned with these innovative focuses. More importantly, Centralized Management System is put in practice for energy conservation and renewable resource production while engaging community outreach for inclusive and innovative Library and University.
