Description: Title: Full Circle: Memoir of A Vietnamese-Canadian Librarian Author: Lam, Vinh-The Publisher: Austin Macauley Binding: Hardcover Pages: 216 Dimensions: 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d Product Weight: 1.06 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9781398449022 In Full Circle: Memoir of A Vietnamese-Canadian Librarian, Vinh-The Lam tells the story of his journey from American-trained librarian in South Vietnam to Librarian Emeritus in Canada. After becoming the first US-educated President of the Vietnamese Library Association (VLA) in 1974, Lam worked alongside a team of fellow American-trained librarians to modernize and expand the South Vietnamese library system. He even founded the country's first library science department at Vạn Hạnh University. But after the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, the VLA and all of Lam's achievements were lost. He spent the next six years in poverty, before emigrating to Canada in 1981 and rebuilding his life and career. With a new start in North America, Lam made valuable contributions to the library community, eventually retiring as Librarian Emeritus from the University of Saskatchewan in 2006. When Vietnam appealed to overseas intellectuals to return and help the country move forward in the aftermath of the collapse of the Communist system, Lam and his former VLA team answered the call, ready to help Vietnam thrive in a new era of innovation and progress. This is the personal memoir of Lam's full journey, from Vietnam to Canada and back again. Ships Fast From The USA! Authorized Dealer
