SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary Neither the current legislation (FSEK) in Turkey nor the draft amendment under discussion provide any exceptions regarding resource sharing. Silent consensus Some of the database license agreements examined for this study include specific conditions on resource sharing The number of meetings and studies increased on resource sharing in Turkey recently
Recommendations Resource sharing should be addressed in the proposed amendments to the legislation as an exception Journal and e-book database license agreements should cover and allow resource sharing The studies of IFLA on library exceptions should be supported and contributed for a global resource sharing agreement Librarians and NGOs should take an active role and do lobbying Librarians and publishers should try to understand each others positions and to try to find workable solutions by defining the activities they want to conduct as precisely as possible.
