Özet
Industrial enterprises work in a dynamic environment. Their needs and - requests change continuously. Like all the other natural and artificial systems, textile enterprises, in order to continue to exist have to be harmonious with their environment, follow the process of change and live according to this. Therefore all the storages of industrial process need to be supported by information. Information centers with the methods and techniques they use, and the services they present promote the continuous flow of information to the user community. They fulfil the same function for the industrial enterprises and the people who have any kind of connection with industry. Up till now many user studies were made to show the information needs and the information habits of the industrial firms. In the present study, a user survey is realized in the Turkish textile industry with the same objective. Research that has been done in Turkey and countries show that users do not know the presence of information sources and/or channels and the information needed is retrieved randomely and with difficulty. Yet there is a very important relationship between the comprehension of the importance of information for the fulfilment of industrial activities and establishment and use of information sources/channels and/or information centers. The hypoteheses which formed the basis of this research are verified by the data that were collected through the use of survey and documentary methods. These are: As for ail the other industries, iidbnnation carries vital irnportence for the textile industry too. Turkish textile industry should realize that information is a vital need for them to maintain their status in the wolrd economy and to develop themselves. Turkish textile information users need information; they do not know how to reach it; they do not have the habit of using information centers to retrieve the information they need; tley give precedence to the ease of retrieval and the use of information. In order to meet the needs of Turkish textile iidbnnation users in the highest possible level, information centers that store and disseminate the information needed should be established in the textile firms and these centres should be managed by professional information specialists. At the same time there is a need for the establishment of a national textile information center that has high quality in the sense of human, monetary and information resources. »KÜÂNTAtf
