The Journey of Higher Education in the 100th Anniversary of the Republic

About the Theme:

Koç University Libraries (Suna Kıraç Library and branch libraries AKMED, ANAMED and VEKAM) continued their project with the theme of Treasury Gallery 8: “The Journey of Higher Education in the 100th Anniversary of the Republic” which was initiated to increase the visibility of their collections to address informative and interesting topics and to present them online to researchers.

Within this project’s scope, the journey of higher education from the declaration of the Republic to the present day was examined by a team of 4 people. In this context, relevant social media posts, blog posts, and libguide were prepared, and a conference and WikiMarathon event were organized. The development of higher education and librarianship from the Republic to the present is included in the libguide in historical detail.
