Freely available information resources, which can be accessed freely and without paying any price on the Web, are increasing their effect in the scientific communication process day by day. It is extremely important to observe how and at what level this effect occurs in this study. It is aimed to determine concretely the ideal contribution of them to the field of Library and Information Sciences (LIS). Citation analysis of 4384 references in the bibliography of 99 (47 BD, 52 TK; 11 English, 88 Turkish) peer-reviewed articles published in the five-year period covering the years 2015-2019 of Information World and Turkish Librarianship journals, which continue their publishing activities in the field of LIS, has been carried out. In this study, the availability of each resource on the Web was searched through Google and Google Scholar. Findings are presented with descriptive statistics and visualization. In the context of the citation analysis carried out, it was determined that 65% of the resources were accessed as freely available. Based on the findings, the most "articles", "other resources" and "meeting resources" were accessed as freely in the context of the relevant data set; "legal sources", "books" and "reports" were determined as the least accessed sources, respectively. It has been found that the total and freely available information resources in the citations are mostly in English, followed by Turkish. As a result, it has been revealed that there is a dependent relationship between freely available status and journals, years, and types of information resources. The original aspect of the study is that it tried to present the possible contribution of free access to the scientific communication process by comprehensively categorizing the sources used in refereed articles in two peer-reviewed journals that adopted open access publication life in the national literature in terms of freely availability in terms of types of information resources and languages. Since this research ideally tries to reveal the contribution of freely available information resources to scientific communication in the context of this sample, it is recommended to carry out comparative studies that determine the contribution of both the libraries and freely available information resources to scientific communication process with a national and larger sample to complete this research in the future.

This article is about my teacher Nail Bayraktar, one of the leading names of Turkish Librarianship. It is a short expression of his memory in me from my first years as a librarian in the Atatürk Library until his death. For him, the librarian profession was a love. He has more labor on me than we can never pay. Nail Bayraktar lived as a person who reads, thinks and writes a lot until his last breath. I believe that he will always live with his works and exemplary lifestyle. I will always remember my dear teacher with respect, love and longing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is really difficult to write after our dear friend and colleague Neslihan Güler Selçuk, whom we lost unexpectedly on April 18, 2021. In the mind, memories, emotions, thoughts, sorrows, photographs, words are lined up one after another. One cannot predict what to write, how to write, more precisely whether or not to write. It is not easy to write with pain, because it is not easy. We will miss her very much. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Library Week which was started to be celebrated since 1964, is one of the most important occupational activities of Turkish Librarianship. The main purpose of the activities that are going to be performed in the Library Week is to enable the citizens to learn about the libraries more closely and enable them to use more; in other words, to create the public awareness. In this study, the Library Week celebrations are analysed and by making some evaluations within the framework of the celebrations of the past terms, recommendations are provided within the scope of celebration of the Week efficiently and in compliance with the purpose of creating public awareness.
