Abstract

As a result of the opportunities provided by the latest technology, there are different formations in generation, storage, and distribution of scientific knowledge. Publishing peer review journals, which have a fundamental position in scholarly communication, open access models developed against price raises, the change seen in user qualifications and education level, and the increase in the level of information searched via web are the most prominent of these formations. University libraries, which have always played a crucial role in scholarly communication, are no doubt being affected from this change. Therefore, university libraries must review their collection and service polices accordingly. As much as providing information online, one should pay attention to relocation of all services to an online platform and to give emphasis to user education.
