Library Guide
The Faculty of Theology Library serves students, academic staff and researchers. It is possible to access the library online. “IU Library Automation Software” (SirsiDynix) is used for data entry of books, theses and journals.
Using Istanbul University's Catalog System
The electronic catalog system in the library, called SirsiDynix, provides access to the library catalog from within the campus and from any corner of the world. Thanks to this catalog, the details of the books and other publications in the library can be seen. According to the scarcity or abundance of the data obtained on the researched subject, a general research can be made only in line with the subject headings.
Conducting Research on the Catalog
If you are in the library, you can access the catalog from all computers reserved for users, and from anywhere with an internet connection if you are outside the library.
SirsiDynix library software provides users with direct access to the searched resource, especially when the author's name and the title of the work are known. On the other hand, in cases where there is not enough information such as the author's name or the title of the work, it makes it easier to reach the work sought by providing a general search under any subject heading. The following page shows under which headings you can scan.
