Özet:

In addition to ensuring the durability of learning by turning theoretical knowledge into practice, internship has an important place in university teaching in the sense that students are familiar with the business environment and gain professional experience before graduation. Based on the practice of the internship is that students experience the work and processes of the discipline they are trained in place. However, due to the Covid-19 epidemic in 2020, the institutions have not accepted internshipers, the place of the practices has been disrupted. Some departments seeking to prevent students from being deprived of the achievements of internship practices, as in theoretical courses for solution, have applied to online internship programs. In this study, the aim is to measure the effects of the online internship application on students from the Department of Information and Document Management of the University of Chankırı Karatekin, which was carried out as a result of the cancellation of the internship in the pandemic period, which has an important place in information and document management education. In this application carried out in cooperation with the University and Research Librarians Association (UNAK) and the Turkish Librarians Association (TKD), which is the leading two professional associations of the discipline, online seminars on 5 main topics, including the skills transmitted in the practice of face-to-face internship, were given by 30 speakers in 22 sessions in 4 weeks. In the planned study to determine the attitudes of students towards the seminars given, the assessments of the sessions, speakers and the process of the department were made. In the study that used the visual method, the results of the survey applied to students at the end of the organization were evaluated by the "surveey" tool, it was understood that students generally gained benefits from the program. Although the face-to-face stage is not an alternative, it appears that they defend the opinion that participation in such practices is necessary for reasonable reasons. The study will be successful to the extent that it will serve the awareness of the importance of broad participation from both the student and the institution with the planned and systematic application of such programs.
