description | The provision of library services is a function of an institution’s outlook as well as its
available resources. Likewise, the “university as a library” approach is related to an
institution’s ability to satisfy library patrons by meeting user need.
Four factors are necessary to implement the “university as a library” approach: well-trained librarians, simple solutions that meet the institution’s service requirements, a well-funded budget, and comfortable physical surroundings for library patrons. Another important factor is a fresh and energetic outlook with respect to the provision of library services; specifically, staff members who not only meet the needs of patrons but also provide a welcoming environment for users. Library patrons can find this approach at Bahçeşehir University, where all of their needs are met in a comfortable and peaceful environment without bureaucratic complications. The success of their “University is a Library” approach has compelled Bahcesehir University to share their accomplishment with the rest of the nation through a week-long newspaper campaign. |
