Library services started at the Preparatory School Library in 2013
Going to move to the main library building at the end of 2015
Aims to provide high quality library materials in existing and emerging future formats to deliver excellent services
We do not have to have all the materials, because we have the ability&flexibility to find and serve all required materials
We believe in sharing resources

As in many fields, the OA is also studied with its many different aspects within the library science
The OA is now discussed by librarians in scope of ILL services, that provides one of the most customized services
OA & ILL
Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October
OA resources offer an access via numerous media without financial, legal or technical restrictions
Information became accessible, supported by legal and technical features that enabled its presentation within some standards; however, researchers still need more information and more
professionally given library services to add value to their studies
Adding value to research
Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October
Although there are many developments concerning studies, content, policy, strategy, regulations, infrastructure and services of the OA, it is still too early to claim that the presentation of open publication and data are presented on required standards within
determined regulations and infrastructure; there is still not a complete system that would enable connections between
countries and institutions.
There is still a way to go…

Researches on information seeking behaviors of users show that researchers prefer conducting their researches by using search
engines such as Google or Google Scholar at first, in order to access most reliable information resources, including in libraries.
Users love search engines
Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October
Because the institutional repositories, where OA materials are indexed and offered for service, do not follow the same meta data standards as the Google Scholar, users will still not have
unlimited access to the data they required even if it is OA
Same meta data standards?

The only open access presentation of the resource would not be sufficient to provide a reliable information retrieval.
So, it means that…

In this process four main components needed:
• An information seeker who is aware of their information needs and able to express their needs correctly
• A well-stored, classified and registered information• Information technologies that enables access to the
registered content• Presence of an information manager/librarian to be
consulted
Information Retrieval Process
Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October
The existence of OA resources increases the necessity for research to ask for expertise of librarians, and beyond that, sets an environment for librarians to utilize their expertise,
knowledge and abilities in a more effective way.
In Other Words

Librarians are the guarantee of the existence and durability of the scholarly ecosystem in which they stand, by ensuring
reliable knowledge environments for their users and make it progress
We are heroes!

Beyond designing, planning and presenting information services, we are required to possess abilities to adapt quickly
to new changes, obtain new abilities and have required expertise
What are the expectations?
Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October
The librarians are expected to promote and pursue their relations with academic and administrative managers,
academicians, IT departments, Information Science departments. At this point, the most prominent topic is the
communication.
We should learn how to speak the language of users !
Ok! Then How ?
Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October
Relations with all departments are the strengths of the librarians.
We need to maintain warm and top relationships with all parts included within the scholarly communication (academicians,
publishers, funds providers, IT staff, etc.).
Communicate with all
