İlahiyat Araştırmalarında Çağdaş İmkanların Değerlendirilmesi: el-Mektebetü’ş-şamile Örneği
Evaluation of Contemporary Opportunities in Theological Studies: The Example of al-Mektebetü’ş-şamile

Summary/Abstract: The literature on Islamic sciences is expanding every year due to both current issues, and the re-examination of previous works from different perspectives. For this reason, Miftah", and Etraf type works, which have been written from past to present in order to obtain information quickly, and systematically, have gained a different dimension today. In our age, reaching information in the fastest way is a bigger problematic area than reaching information. In this context, although there were different examples before it, al-Maktaba al-Shamela, which is the most comprehensive online study at the moment, was released for the first time with approximately one thousand books in twenty-five topics. In each subsequent year, it has become more comprehensive by improving itself, and its database. In this paper, the use of this program, which has reached a very useful level at the moment, the possibilities, and conveniences it offers, and the problems that can be encountered if it is not used correctly will be discussed. First, the installation of the program, and the introduction of shortcuts will be made; Subsequently, each chapter’s own sub-headings will be discussed. Especially; Special search methods, search saving options, creating special folders, chronological lists of works, and authors,, and importing, and exporting works will be introduced. In addition, intellectual problems arising from the minds of producers who are likely to be present in such programs, and reflected in the selection of books, software problems related to the program itself, problems with writing during the transfer of works to the program,, and most importantly, academic problems that such applications detach one from the holistic view of the works, and push them to a fragmentary approach will be discussed. Because learning the program superficially can lead to both obtaining wrong results, and misinterpreting the results obtained. Therefore, the aim of such a study is to prevent the problematic issues in question, and to channel the researchers to the right methodological elements in this way. The importance of research is that it offers clues to do this in the fastest, and most effective way, without forgetting the fact that the main thing is to access the right information. As a result; In scientific studies, all kinds of systems, and applications that will facilitate the search are becoming increasingly necessary. al-Maktaba al-Shamela program is an extremely important, and valuable work that cannot be ignored when used correctly.
