Follow up

• Orientation to LTU – now working with ALLU and International Office on developing an Orientation toolbox for students studying with partners

• Transition – ensuring students coming to Australia to complete their studies have the skills (library, study, etc) to succeed

• Cooperation with partner libraries – sharing of resources (repository, Assignment calculator, ART, etc)

• Infrastructure – parts of our website performed badly in Cambodia. What needs to be done to facilitate access especially to resources like Research Online?

• Communication – ensuring subject coordinators (in Australia), Hanoi La Trobe staff, Hanoi Library staff, LTU International Office staff are kept informed of library resources, services, developments and that these are communicated to students.
