Özet
In this study, we analyzed the book-borrowing network that we constructed from the database of the libraries ofArdahan University by using complex network analysis techniques. After the construction of the bipartite readerbook relationship network, we constructed reader-reader and book-book networks via one-mode projection. Weperformed an exploratory complex network analysis on these networks. We found that both networks revealedscale-free and small-world network properties like most real-world networks from diverse origins and of diversesizes. In addition, we identified the most central books in the book-book network using several centrality measures.These were generally the works from both Turkish and world literature that were in the reading lists of manyreaders. We also performed community analysis and identified the communities embedded in the networksvisually. We identified and presented the essential genres of the books inside the communities of the book-booknetwork.
