Department of Information and Document Management

Hello, my name is Ahmet Yeşil. I am a freshman in the Department of Information and Document Management of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University. Our department was established in 2011 within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The main purpose of our department is to train professional librarians and research assistants who will lead the development of knowledge. We have courses such as Ottoman Paleography, Computer and Information Networks, Introduction to Information and Document Management, Social Communication and Professional Ethics. We do our compulsory internship in 3rd grade. We need to complete a graduation thesis to graduate. After graduation, we basically become a librarian. In addition, we have the opportunity to work anywhere related to knowledge, saving, and document management. I have had a great interest in archiving and books since I was a little child. I loved archiving, and as a result of my research, I discovered this department. In fact, as a result of the trainings I have recently received, I established a library and understood what a good profession it is. That’s also why, I have chosen this major. I followed the developments and investments of Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University in this department. I preferred Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University after learning about the faculty staff. In our department, we use the computer lab frequently. Because even though our department is a verbal one, it is intertwined with technology. Also, we often use our libraries. After graduation, I would like to develop myself academically in this field. Any individual who is interested in information and document management and who also cares about archiving can choose our department. My advice to those who will prefer Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University is that people who constantly try to develop themselves and keep up with technology can come to our university. I wish success and good luck to all the students who will come to our university and department.
