    The Architecture of a Library in a Digital World
    (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2016) Çimen, Ertuğrul
    Introduction: 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.

    A Comparative Study on How Academic Libraries Contribute to Sustainability
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2026-01-07) Çimen, Ertuğrul; Cevher, Nilay; Gedik, Kübra Zayim; Bulgan, Uğur; Akbaytürk Çanak, Tuba; Sezgin, Üstün Berk
    Sustainability, encompassing environmental, economic, and social dimensions, is central to creating a more inhabitable future, and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address multifaceted challenges, including information access and education inequalities. Libraries, particularly academic libraries, have a core mission to provide and disseminate sustainable information, positioning them as key contributors to achieving the SDGs. This comparative study investigates the diverse roles of academic libraries in advancing these goals across Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Greece, North Macedonia, and Türkiye, chosen for their regional proximity and similar socio-cultural and librarianship contexts. Drawing upon survey data, the study explores the involvement of academic libraries in sustainable development within these countries and the factors influencing their engagement. Despite a low response rate, the findings highlight a growing awareness among academic libraries and librarians toward sustainable development, revealing diverse strategies, successful approaches, and challenges encountered. Ultimately, the study underscores the vital role of academic libraries as catalysts for knowledge dissemination, community empowerment, and innovation in advancing the global sustainability agenda, offering valuable insights for policymakers and library stakeholders

    Cost-Sharing Models: Experience of the Anatolian University Libraries Consortium
    (Elsevier, 2019-05-01) Çukadar, Sami; Çimen, Ertuğrul; Cuhadar, Sami
    Purpose : 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.

    Yeni Koronavirüs (COVID-19) Sürecinde Türkiye’de Üniversite Kütüphaneleri
    (2020) Gurdal, Gultekin; Cimen, Ertugrul; Cuhadar, Sami; Çanak, Tuba Akbaytürk
    The goal of this study is to identify how the university libraries responded to Novel Coronavirus ( COVID-19) Pandemic. While some libraries were locked down for this period, some other libraries only limited their services as needed. To provide a full framework, the efforts pertaining this period from the shareholders of university libraries such as publishers and professional associations have also been studied. The second goal of this study is to find out how libraries are ready to adapt themselves to such unexpected situations and adopt remote service models with their existing personnel, collections, budget or infrastructure. A survey is prepared to be sent out to 209 (129 State universities, 75 foundation universities and 5 foundation vocational schools) higher education institutions. The survey was filled out by 84 institutions. The survey results will be analyzed using Surveey.com and MS Excel. At the closing, since Turkey starts easing coronavirus containment measures, recommendations on how libraries should plan their reopening will be shared.
