| dc.description.abstract | The World Wide Web went public in 1989. Since then, every organization has come to utilize web-based technologies for their various purposes. Educational institutions have implemented web technology in their contemporary curriculums. The aim of this study is to investigate five private schools in Ankara, Turkey and to unravel the impact of information technology (internet usage, information services) in their programs. The five high schools were: Ari College, TED Ankara College, Tevfik Fikret High School, METU (Middle East Technical University) College and Bilkent High School. We conducted a qualitative research on the selected high schools by observing and collecting data. Research was done from March-May 2009. We found out that internet services in high schools are not utilized to their full capacity. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd. | en_US |

| dc.description.sponsorship | What is known as the internet was started by the U.S. Defense Department in early 1970s. Later on, the NSF (National Science Foundation) funded the project for universities and other research centers and eventually the internet became an indispensable part of information technology. In time, the internet offered new incentives such as e-mail, where the pioneers were Gmail (i.e. Google e-mail) and Hotmail (i.e. yahoo e-mail) to name two. Nowadays, web pages have become an integral part of many organizations such as governments, companies, newspapers, schools and so on (Hou, 2003). Clyde (2004) conducted a content analysis on schools’ libraries, reporting the “updates” or any changes to their content. She continued by tracking their content or URLs using the Google search engine. Bull and Hammond (2004) studied the impact of e-learning in schools. They refer to e-learning as an Age of Participation in which, with recent advances in technology everyone should benefit. Turkey as a country with young population (approx. 15,000,000 students) has implemented information technologies in schools curriculums. In their turn, libraries play an important on disseminating information services in their respective schools. For example, according to Önal (2005) The Turkish Librarians’ Association (TLA) is in the process of restructuring The School Libraries Working Group (SLWG), later renamed the School Librarians Istanbul Group (SLIG), and this has been developing within the TLA since 2000. It has come up with preliminary suggestions for a structure that would make it a more effective and efficient professional organization of school librarians. The MEB (Milli Egitim Bakanligi, i.e. National Ministry of Education) has extensively incorporated information technology usage in its agenda. The MEB provides information by ensuring digital access to everyone in the society. For example, the MEB offers much information through the usage of state of art technologies such as: internet access to all schools (e.g. primary, secondary and high schools) in the country; ADSL access to 5000 schools so far; an education portal (i.e. http://www.egitim.gov.tr) which provides the immense technological tools at its disposal for users such as students, parents and managers (see figure 1). The library’s approach to information access is essential in the provision of technology to support the classroom. The advantages of using information technology are as follows: (1) students will have access to on line journals; (2) students can participate in forums discussing class activities; (3) students are able to use print and photocopy services; (4) the library provides online databases. Moreover, IFLA sets guidelines for internet use policies. The internet as an example of media resource in school’s library, ought to be available in the following way: | |
