This is illustrated byfigures provided on its expansion over eighteen years. The paper takes a historicaland descriptive approach to the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium(ANKOS). It aims to describe the goals, fields of activity, organizational structure,functioning and the benefits it provides to Turkish academic libraries. . Theauthors believe that this paper is useful for all academic librarians concerned withconsortium systems, cost sharing, e-resource management, open access (OA),collaboration on national and international scales, and staff exchange, especiallyin the developing world.Book Part In-Transit Practices Among Multi-Campus University Libraries in Turkey(National Library of Technology in Prague, 2019) Çuhadar, Sami; Çimen, Ertuğrul; Turan, AbdullahLibrary in-transit services provided between various campuses of a university are important, helping to ensure user satisfaction, effective allocation of library budgets, optimum use of resources, and effective use of library spaces. In this study, 179 universities operating in Turkey were identified and selected for assessment. The methods which libraries at these universities employ to deliver information resources to users at other campuses as well as their in-transit practices are explained in detail. The paper presents the findings of a survey that was conducted at the selected university libraries in order to assess the current state and the impact of resource sharing via the in-transit method on library budgets, library spaces, and user satisfaction. The in-transit practice of Istanbul Bilgi University (BİLGİ) Library, which has a well-established in-transit policy and which keeps detailed statistics, was also used as a case study to analyse in-transit statistics and survey findings and to provide suggestions for future improvement.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Cost-Sharing Models: Experience of the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium(Elsevier, 2019) Çukadar, Sami; Çimen, Ertuğrul; Cuhadar, SamiPurpose : This study examines the cost-sharing models used by the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium (ANKOS) to determine the amounts that university libraries pay for each consortial subscription. A survey was conducted among library directors and managers of ANKOS member universities to evaluate cost-sharing models in order to create improved models. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed in SPSS, the first time that these cost-sharing models have been assessed on the national level. The results of the study are presented for the benefit of other consortia and scientists/researchers and library professionals working in the field. Design/methodology/approach : This article takes a historical and descriptive approach and uses statistical methods to analyze the results of the survey. It also focuses on obtaining objective results from the Consortium members' feedback. Findings : As with other library consortia all over the world, many different cost-sharing models have been used by ANKOS. As a result of this study, the most suitable models have been determined for different scales of academic libraries. In negotiations with publishers and vendors, priority will be given to price models preferred by member institutions. Practical implications : The material presented should be useful for all academic librarians concerned with consortium systems, cost-sharing, and e-resource management, especially in the developing world. This paper also provides some key points for academic librarians in the process of establishing a consortium. Originality/value : This paper is an example of successful academic library consortium activities in a developing country and examines, in detail, the developments, opportunities, and challenges experienced since the establishment of the consortium.Book Part The Architecture of a Library in a Digital World(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2016) Çimen, ErtuğrulIntroduction: As a librarian with over 25 years of experience, I can say that the past five years have seen more rapid change than the rest of my time in the field. Technological disruptions are changing how libraries are used and how they provide resources to students. These rapid changes have brought opportunities and transformation as well as challenges and uncertainty. University libraries are at the forefront of these changes and, I believe, have a responsibility to assist in developing pathways for both university and public libraries to negotiate through the uncertainty that currently exists. What I aim to put in place at MEF University, and then use as a model for other libraries converting to the needs of digital learners is as follows. My vision is to produce innovative and “smart” high-quality information services in adherence to academic ethical rules; to undertake a leadership role among national and regional academic libraries through individual and institutional cooperation and effective use of communication channels. The Architecture of a Library in a Digital World : With regard to architecture, how libraries are set up has gone through a radical change. At MEF, in order to accommodate the digital needs of today’s students, the library has been specifically designed to incorporate workspaces with access to electric points and a strong Wi-Fi connection. The Successes of Using Digital Materials: While some hard copy books and journals are available in the MEF Library, the majority of resources are electronic. Students and instructors are provided with online access to digital resources, which they can access 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Challenges of Using Digital Materials: While we have seen successes in our architectural model and also in our digital access model, challenges are also arising. What is emerging is that neither publishers nor institutional consumers seem to be quite ready for the shifting needs that have taken place due to the digital revolution. Academic Integrity in a Digital World: Finally, it is important to touch upon issues of academic integrity. More than ever, it is easier to fall into plagiarism when using digital materials, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Students need clear training on understanding what academic integrity encompasses, and how to avoid plagiarism. Conclusion : What libraries look like, how they are used, and how they are stocked and lend books has changed rapidly over the past twenty years. This will continue to change at an exponential rate as new technological modes of accessing knowledge and learning emerge.Conference Object Online Training Platform for Library Professionals : Ankos Academy(IFLA, 2016) Çimen, Ertuğrul; Çelik, Sönmez; Kafalı, Gönül; Sezgin, Üstün Berk; Turgut, Bahar Erkan; Yanaz, HakanIn Turkey, librarianship education is given at academic institutions offering 4 year undergraduate programs. There are no regular professional training program leading to certification for people working in library and information services. Therefore, workers employed in information services in Turkey are complaining about the lack of such professional training programs. Graduate programs leading to advanced academic degrees such as MA and PhD, are not suited for the needs of professionals in their daily activities as those degrees are used for entering the academic life or for supporting the academic background of professionals towards managerial positions. ANKOS Academy group has started its activities in 2015 in order to offer continuous training programs for information services professionals. The programs aim to enable the professionals to advance their abilities for a better positioning in today’s pierce competition environment at national and international level. ANKOS Academy has the following objectives for professionals: - enhancing application oriented skills, - focusing on professional specialization, transforming competencies into action. ANKOS Academy has developed several training programs to suit the needs of today’s changing librarianship environment. Those trainings are decided to be offered online via virtual classrooms. After examination of available platforms, GoToMeeting has been selected as the medium of delivery due to its advantages in terms of performance. “Selection and Management of Electronic Resources” and “Open Access and DSpace” are the two trainings developed by the ANKOS Academy group with support of the instructors of the courses. Those trainings are offered between 17 November 2015 and 8 December 2015 for the first time. For a selected group of participants, two parallel sessions are conducted by four instructors. The training is offered to 21 library professionals from 21 different academic libraries free of charge. This initial offering aimed to be an experiment in order to observe weak points for possible improvements. A survey has been applied to the participants after the training to evaluate the effectiveness of the training programs. In this paper, the phases of planning, development, and delivery of ANKOS Academy trainings will be examined in detail. Achievements of the trainings will be evaluated including the survey data. The results indicate that participants have benefited extensively from the trainings where the details will be explained in the paper. Based on the success of the initial trainings, ANKOS Academy has conducted a survey to determine the potential participants of future trainings. Future plans of ANKOS Academy will also be included in the paper.
