Conclusions
Today, when almost everyone has a personal Facebook page, users who would like to gain information about the academic libraries and follow them are heading towards the web pages like Facebook.
Facebook pages have no adequate information and the Facebook pages of academic libraries are utilized for personal communication, private photos and videos. It is revealed that utilizing from Facebook pages of academic libraries in a personal profile page type is difficult.
The usage level of web services such as Library Search and JSTOR is low. Academic libraries do not give links of their Facebook pages in their official web sites. This reduces the reliability of libraries’ Facebook pages.

Suggestions

In social networks, the formality of academic libraries should be maintained.
In their official web pages, academic libraries should give their links of social network sites they use and they should give their social network link on “Communication” tab if they have.
In Facebook pages, unnecessary personal photos and videos should not be shared. Instead, videos and photos about library should be shared.

Suggestions
QQML 2013, 4-7 June 2013, Italy, Rome
Because they pose an obstacle in instant communication, , profil pages and group pages should not be used as a Facebook page type. Instead, “like page type” should be used.
The Facebook pages of academic libraries should be opened with their official names and abbreviations should not be used.
New technologies should be kept up with and technological applications (e.g.JSTOR) should be integrated into the Facebook pages. .Education about social network and Facebook usage should be given to librarians.
