For this purpose, a survey was conducted through interviews at 15 different university libraries located in Ankara, and the collected data relating to the information security measures was evaluated in accordance with the existing legal regulations. The results show that the legal regulations are not adequate and preventive in nature, the universities do not have any security policies concerning the protection and the safe destruction of personal data. There is not any risk management, and the responsibility is not shared within the units of universities. Training for personal data protection awareness is not provided for the staff who is responsible for data processing, and the units responsible for the data processing have hesitation even in deciding whether data is personal or not.
