 The
Bilkent Library welcomes all new students and faculty to the new academic year. The new
academic year promises to be an exciting one for everyone at Bilkent with regard to new
initiatives and services from the library. One of the most exciting initiatives is the
establishment of a Faculty Librarian system. Each Faculty will now have their own
dedicated Librarian who is responsible for supporting the teaching, learning and research
needs of both students and academic staff.
Faculty Librarians will be spending time assisting students and academic staff to learn
how to access and use the marvelous resources the library offers. Please make use of their
skills and expertise. Faculty Librarians have a wealth of knowledge and skills in
navigating the maze of information sources you may find confusing at times. They are
information specialists and can be very helpful in showing you some short cuts, tips, and
tricks to access that crucial piece of information required for your term paper, the
article you are writing or the lecture you are preparing. Faculty Librarians are also
available to teach students during class time about relevant information resources
necessary for their assignments.
In other parts of the world, Faculty Librarians have been described as magicians or
facilitators because they demystify and solve many things related to the acquisition of
information in a timely manner. They are information specialists equipped with access to
information and are available to use their expertise to help you. Faculty Librarians are
just a phone call or mouse click away. Contact information for the Faculty Librarians can
be found on the library's website at www.library.bilkent.edu.tr
