Bilgisayara dayalı kütüphane ve bilgi sistemleri: Bilkent Üniversitesi Kütüphanesi için alternatif bir sistem seçimi ve değerlendirilmesi
No full textLibraries have been developing computer-based systems so as to speed up and ease their processes, and to offer more effective and efficient library services. This study, which is aiming to opt for a system for the Bilkent University Library (BUL) where the necessity of a computer-based library system has already been acknowledged, identifies the existing options for the automation of library services first, and then proceeds to discuss whether those options are appropriate for the BUL. The existing integrated and modular library systems, and the ways they can be provided such as in-house production, provision of a turnkey or "off-the-shelf" package, adapting and sharing a system, are explained with their individual pros and cons. Having discussed the choice of a would be system and its acquisition for the BUL to a further extent, it was decided that a computerbased integrated library system would be convenient for the requirements of the library in view of the following reasons: 1) The processes performed in the BUL such as acquisition, cataloging, circulation and serials are interraleted with each other; so that they should be treated altogether. 2) The existing computer capabilities of the BUL and LC MARC records on CD-ROM it has will be helpful in order to develop an integrated library system. 3) On a general-purpose database the acquisition, cataloging, circulation and serial services of the BUL can be given more effectively and quickly. 4) The provision of a computer-based integrated library system will be useful as and when the Bilkent University joins to the Inter-University Computer Network. The study ends with some suggestions that a committee that is to be formed by the library authorities should do for the selection and acqusition of an integrated library systems
Ankara'da üniversite kütüphane binaları
No full textThis research project was designed to draw attention to the importance of the program in planning library buildings and to show that in buildings constructed according to a program the library services are more effective. The hypothesis on which this work is based can be stated as follows: "Library services in the central libraries of the universities in Ankara which were not constructed according to a program of library requirements are adversely affected by that omission." Research was conducted by survey, and data were collected through observation and interviews as well as a review of the literature. The study focused principally on the library at Middle East Technical University, which was constructed according to a program, and the Bilkent University Library, which is housed in a building originally designed for a different purpose. These libraries were examined with respect to location, architectural features, layout, furnishings, environmental conditions (climatization, lighting, etc.), security and the services provided. This study shows that many deficiencies in service in the university libraries are a result of the lack of an appropriate building. Although even in the best planned building subsequent changes of emphasis in the services provided may produce a need for remodeling, it was observed that the Middle East Technical University Library had definite advantages over the Bilkent University Library with regard to ease of providing standard library services
