E-government metadata standart modeling for Turkey
No full textIn the electronic environment it is possible to define the existence of a record in terms of its related parts as a whole. In the electronic environment the defining of the existence of a record is realised through its metadata. Metadata is the primary foundation upon which all of the components relating to the creation of records is recorded and created content becomes meaningful. In the face of technological developments the sustainability of records created in an electronic environment from the perspective of content and context rests upon the correct proportioning of standard metadata. Through long-term preservation standard metadata ensures that the record becomes meaningful and that future generations can use and understand information and records. The metadata model in developed countries became a standard requirement after the rolling out of Electronic Records Management Systems became commonplace and most countries have made headway in this area. However in Turkey a uniform approach and common terminology does not exist where the use of metadata for physical (paper) and electronic records created in an electronic environment is concerned. In relation to this issue, research has been conducted on public sector organisations and institutions and the metadata applied to records has been collected. As a result of this research, the fields and descriptions of the metadata collected has been brought together in a database and related fields and descriptions have been subject to categorisation. As a consequence of this categorisation, the requirement for records to be defined in terms of standard metadata and for metadata standards to be created, has been put forward. It is possible for records to be shared across organisations and for common terminology to be used in accordance with the principle of interoperability. The metadata concepts have been defined taking into consideration the conceptual design of the metadata entity model and international studies and is based on a standard model accordingly. Within the scope of this study an e-Government Metadata Standard has been formulated. With this standard, various models based on the creation of records in an electronic environment have been recommended in order for records to be shareable from an e-Government perspective. These models will ensure that records are shared between organisations and institutions and that the life-cycle of the record will continue with the metadata generated by the record. In the same way that the capture and distribution of records into an electronic environment meets a need for organisations and institutions, it will also play a role in the reduction of bureaucracy caused by records. This metadata standard at the same time will also ensure the long-term preservation of records in an electronic environment according to records management techniques, the compatibilty of the e-government reality and the interoperability of organisations

Düşünce özgürlüğü ve Türkiye'de kütüphanecilik eğitimi
No full textIntellectual freedom is one of the fundamental principles of librarianship. It is mainly the duty of the librarians to create the appropriate conditions in libraries apt for intellectual freedom and they must be conscious to fulfill their responsibility. This awareness should be provided by library science education. In developed countries librarians defend and apply for intellectual freedom and undertake tasks for the establishment of this concept within the society as they fight against censorship. Furthermore independent courses are offered on the subjects of intellectual freedom and censorship at universities or these are taught within other courses. A survey has been carried out to find out the knowledge and attitudes of the librarians working at university libraries in Ankara on these topics and the directors of these libraries were interviewed. Also the department heads and the faculty members of the library science departments in Turkey were interviewed in order to get their opinions on these subjects and to gather data about the present state of the educational system concerning with intellectual freedom and censorship. At the end of investigation it has been found out that the library science graduates have no sufficient knowledge about intellectual freedom and the curricula of library science departments are not designed in such a way as to give the students a chance to develop then- knowledge on these particular subjects
Türkiye'deki web tabanlı kütüphane kataloglarının incelenmesi
No full textWeb OPAC's and user interfaces are inseparable terms. Web OPACS are not only open to their library's users but open to the whole world through the internet. The user interface is the main screen that connects the catalogue system and the user. Therefore it is the main source for the user's understanding of the catalogue usage. There is a constant interaction between the user and the interface. A good interface is user-friendly, natural, easy to use, tolerant of the mistakes and easy to understand. It also has to be transparent and flexible. Only then can the user use the catalogue easily and efficiently. Any mistakes or omissions in the design of the Web OPAC interface could obscure the user's access to the information. If we consider the size of the aimed audience of a Web OPAC, we could claim that these mistakes are unforgivable. Due to this, a considerable amount of research was made to derive criteria to evaluate OPAC interfaces. Their usage properties and user satisfaction level has been investigated. Various guidelines and checklists were created in order to evaluate the performance of OPAC interfaces. In this work, we tried to evaluate the Web OPAC interfaces of university libraries in our country in regards to their adherence to the mentioned guidelines. Our hypothesis was that "in general, the university Web OPAC interfaces do not adhere to the accepted design principles and standards". After evaluating every interface of university libraries in our country, we showed that our hypothesis was indeed confirmed
