3) To access your library account, click on the “Log in” tab located in the upper right corner of the https://catalog.ihu.edu.tr/yordam address.

4) Your username and password are the same as your İHÜ email username and password.

5) You can then access your library account.

6) You can submit your request by going to the “Publication Order” link on our library website or by filling out the “Publication Request Form” in your library account.

7) You can view the materials you have borrowed through your library account and track their due dates. Additionally, you can request an extension of your loan period within the last three days of the due date.

Ibn Haldun University Library provides our students, academic and administrative staff with access to library resources from outside the campus. This access is provided via LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). Below, you can find detailed information on how to use LDAP for off-campus access.

1) To access e-resources subscribed to by the Library outside the campus, first go to the subscriber databases page.

2) Enter your İHÜ e-mail “username” (e.g., sonmez.celik) and “password” in the relevant fields.

3) You can then access electronic resources (databases, e-journals, e-books, etc.) from outside the campus. 

This guide explains how artificial intelligence technologies can be used in academic work. It provides information on generative AI tools and principles for ethical usage.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

• Human-like Thinking: They are software systems that enable machines to think like humans.
• Learning Ability: Can improve themselves by learning from data.
• Decision Making: Solve complex problems and make decisions.

Productive Artificial Intelligence

• Text Generation: Academic texts, summaries and content can be generated with ChatGPT.
• Visual Production: You can design creative visuals with DALL·E and Midjourney.
• Video Production: Training videos can be prepared with Runway and Synthesia.
• Alternative Models: Different language models can be used, such as Google Gemini, Claude, and Mistral.

Literature Review and Writing Processes

• Keyword Generation: Creates effective keywords for research.
• Formulating a Research Question: Develops questions that will guide your work.
• Writing Draft Proposal: It provides structure and sections for your article.
• Summarizing and Rewriting: Summarize texts and express them in different ways.

Image Rendering Tools

1. DALL·E: OpenAI's text-to-image tool. Generates visuals for academic presentations.
2. Midjourney: Ideal for artistic and creative visuals. Can be used in poster designs.
3. Canva Magic Design: Offers automatic visual suggestions. Suitable for educational materials.

Video Creation Technologies

1. Runway ML: Enables realistic video production. Can visualise research findings.
2. Synthesia: Creates avatar-led explainer videos. Makes preparing educational content easier.
3. Pika Labs: Produces fast text-to-animation. Simplifies complex concepts.

Tips for Effective Use

• Give Clear and Unambiguous Commands: Opt for goal-oriented prompts, rather than short ones.
• Improvement through Regular Repetition: You can improve the output quality by doing a few trials.
• Make a Vehicle Comparison: Try the same text in different models (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
• Reorganize Content: Customize the final output and verify it with sources.
