In addition, she revealed that the campus B library does not only have services on the way of accessing references and research resources, but also Library Class. The class teaches Mendeley training, Turnitin( plagiarism test ), optimizes MS Word , and the use of online presentations such as Prezi and Canva .
PRUM Sokun B.A., M.B.A., a lecturer of RULE in Mathematics, explained that there are various obstacles in conducting research in Cambodia. It happens because of limited access to journal services and questionnaires from published studies, both nationally and internationally. Moreover, data in Cambodia is very difficult to collect due to secrecy of the subject.
“Until now I still have difficulties in collecting data to know the impact of micro financial on the welfare of the community. Communities are ‘reluctant’ to provide information related to the amount of funds provided, “he added.
“From this visit, we certainly hope for cooperation, either to be able to access information that is mutually needed in education as well as to learn on library management with a role model, “closed Sokun.
