  7. OA & ILL • As in many fields, the OA is also studiedwith 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 Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  8. Adding value to research 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 Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  9. There is still a way to go… 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. Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  10. Users love search engines 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. Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  11. Same meta data standards? 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 Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  12. So, it means that… The only open access presentation of the resource would not be sufficient to provide a reliable information retrieval. Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  13. Information Retrieval Process 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 Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  14. In Other Words 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.

  15. We are heroes!

  17. What are the expectations? 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 Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  18. Ok! Then How ? 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 ! Resource Sharing at the Crossroads, 14th IFLA ILDS Conference, İstanbul, Turkey, 1-3 October

  19. Communicate with all 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.).
