checked out (on loan): ödünç verilmiş/kullanıcı üzerinde The circulation status of an item that has been charged to a borrower account and is not due back to the library until the end of the loan period. In an online catalog, the due date is usually displayed as a status code to indicate that the item is currently unavailable for circulation.

overdue: iade tarihi geçen (materyal) A circulating item checked out from a library, kept by the borrower and past its due date. Most circulation systems are designed to automatically generate an overdue notice that requests return of the item. Most of the libraries charge fines for overdue materials. A borrower account may be blocked if fines accumulate beyond a maximum amount determined by the library. Overdue charges can be avoided by renewing the item on or before its due date.

abstracting: öz hazırlama The preparation of a brief, objective statement of the content of a written work to enable the researcher to quickly determine whether reading the entire text might satisfy the specific information need. Abstracting is usually limited to the literature of a specific discipline or group of related disciplines and is performed by an individual or commercial entity, such as an indexing and abstracting service, that provides abstracts regularly to a list of subscribers.

indexer: indeksci, dizin hazırlayan kişi The professionally trained person reads or scans the text of each document to determine its content, then selects appropriate headings (names, places, subjects) to facilitate retrieval. Cross- references are made from synonyms, and the entries are arranged in the desired sequence (alphabetical, numerical, classified, etc.).

citation: atıf Quoting a passage or words from a book, or from another person, in his own words. In the literary sense, any written or spoken reference to an authority or to the verbatim words of another speaker or writer. In a scientific sense, “it” is a written reference that clearly identifies the document in which a specific work or portion of a work (such as book, article, dissertation, report, musical composition, etc. produced by a particular author, editor, composer, etc.) is to be found. The frequency with which a work is cited is sometimes considered a measure of its importance in the literature of the field. Citation format varies from one field of study to another but includes at a minimum author, title, and publication date. Examples: Book: Chappell, Warren. A Short History of the Printed Word. Boston:Nonpareil Books, Periodical article: Dow, Ronald F. "Editorial Gatekeepers Confronted by the Electronic Journal." College & Research Libraries 61 (2000):

cross-reference: çapraz başvuru A conventional word or phrase used in a work to refer the reader to another part of the text, or a similar word or phrase used in an index, catalog, etc. to direct the user from one heading or entry to another. –(see above or see below) –(see or see also)

search statement: arama ifadesi In information retrieval, an information need or query entered as input in a form acceptable to the search software used by the retrieval system. Most online catalogs, bibliographic databases, and search engines allow Boolean logic, nesting, truncation, wildcard, and proximity operators to be used in keyword(s) search statements and permit the user to limit search results.

search strategy: arama stratejisi In information retrieval, a systematic plan for conducting a search. In most cases, the first step is to formulate a clear and concise topic statement. The next step is to identify the main concepts in the topic. Then the most appropriate finding tools for the subject must be identified and located. Lists of authorized subject heading(s) and descriptors in the appropriate indexing systems can then be consulted to find preferred terms to represent the main concepts. In computer-based information retrieval, keywords can be combined using Boolean logic to form one or more queries. These queries must be expressed in syntax acceptable to the catalogs, bibliographic databases, and search engines which may contain information on the subject. If the initial results of a search are unsatisfactory, the user can modify the search statement by two ways: adding related terms or substituting broader terms to expand retrieval by substituting narrower terms to restrict retrieval.

search term: arama sözcüğü/terimi A word or phrase representing one of the main concepts in a research topic, used alone or in combination with other terms in a search statement, to query an online catalog, bibliographic database, or search engine and retrieve relevant information. A search term can be a keyword or phrase supplied by the user, an authorized subject heading, descriptor selected from a prescribed list, or a word or phrase found in a thesaurus. –(Example: The Contemporary Thesaurus of Search Terms and Synonyms)
