The Role and Importance of Librarians in the Service Quality of Enriched Libraries
Abstract
|
Libraries are among the prominent elements of educational content in schools. School libraries in Turkey contributed per se to this notion until 2014. The Ministry of National Education has been carrying out the project “Okullar Hayat Olsun” since then, which led to the establishment of enriched libraries and being a partner of said contribution. Enriched libraries with their modern design, technological equipment, games, activities and recreational areas aim to provide services across Turkey by considering equality of opportunity in education as per contemporary educational standards. Enriched libraries also need professionally trained librarians to serve their intended framework. The employment of librarians, which is also valid for school libraries, is indispensable for enriched libraries. A library cannot be expected to provide quality services, unless there is a librarian, who received professional training in the field, regardless of the type of library. To that end, this study discusses the role and significance of librarians in the service. |
