This paper is aimed at assessing the needs and library responsiveness of textbooks and course readings to the learners at Cantho University, Vietnam. Underpinned by the conceptual framework defined by Reitz (2018), this study was conducted using quantitative data from 444 learners for bachelor, master and doctorate degrees. Findings indicated the learners’ needs are very high (Mean = 4.25) while the responsive level of library textbooks and course readings is relatively low (Mean = 3.92) with 51%, 44% and 52% for bachelor, master and doctorate students respectively. In terms of books for further reading, this library could satisfy 39.7% of the learners’ needs. These findings contribute to library leaders a better understanding of their current collections of textbooks and course readings for training programs and how to increase their responsiveness. The findings can also serve as a reference for further studies related to qualifying training programs.
