摘要：The study aims at presenting a survey of history of printing and publishing
until present-day developments in Turkey, firstly within the period of 1729
up till November the 1st 1928, whereby the Arabic alphabet was in use,
and afterwards investigating the era within at the start of which the Latin
alphabet was adopted. Special emphasis was attributed to the
development of library services. The Latin alphabet era was examined in
greater detail with reference to the new ideas leading to create channels
of information diffusion, such as printing and publishing activities, reading
and writing courses for the public, facilities of further education and use of
libraries as information centres. Conclusively, problems of publishers,
librarians and educators were presented in view of an historical
perspective. Basing upon the arguments stemming from the historical investigation, suggestions for the solutions of those problems were also
forwarded.
