Bulut bilişim, bilgiye her yerden ve her an erişebilme kolaylığı ile internet üzerinden sunulan çok yönlü ve hızlı gelişen servis araçlarından biridir. Ancak bu yeni teknoloji servisi birçok faydasının yanı sıra; göz ardı edilmesi halinde büyük kayıplara neden olabilecek riskleri de içermektedir. Çalışma genelinde, küresel çapta yoğun olarak tartışılmakta olan “Bulut üzerinde bulunan bilgilerin sahibi kim? Kişisel verilerin korunmasından kim sorumlu? Kayıp ve zararların telafi edilmesi mümkün mü?” gibi birçok sorunun yanıtı literatür ve mevcut uygulamalar içinde aranarak; bulut bilişimde verilerin güvenliği ve gizliliği konusunda toplumda bilinçlenmenin artırılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, bulut bilişimin faydalı ve olumsuz yönleri ile birlikte; mevcut ABD hukuk mevzuatı, AB direktifleri ve AB sözleşmeleri kapsamlı olarak incelenerek, tüm hukuksal risk ve problemlere dikkat çekilmiştir. Çalışma sonunda, mevcut bulut hizmet sözleşmeleri ve yasal düzenlemeler çerçevesinde; Türkiye’de bulut bilişim kullanıcılarının veri güvenliğini ve gizliliğini yeterli seviyede koruyan bir hukuksal düzenlemenin bulunmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca; veri öznelerinin bulut bilişime olan güveninin sağlanabilmesi ve kişisel verilerin korunabilmesi amacıyla temel olarak kabul edilebilecek güvenli bulut bilişim modeli önerisinde bulunulmuştur.

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a distance education program in the field of digitization which was carried out in Turkey in 2011. In total, 805 people, comprising librarians, archivists and museum specialists, applied for three certification programs. The paper evaluates the distance education in terms of content and organization on the basis of participants' opinions and determines how and to what extent the education has changed the awareness of participants on digitization and digital content management and their level of theoretical and practical knowledge. Design/methodology/approach-The research questions of the study are: What are the qualities of the participants on digitization and digital content management? In other words, what is the level of education background of the participants and what level of education do they need? What are the qualifications (in terms of content, presentation of the content and general organization) of the distance education program? To what extent has the distance education contributed to the enhancement of participants' level of awareness on digitization and digital content management, and to the improvement of theoretical and practical knowledge? Findings-In the research, the literature on the issue has been reviewed, and then a theoretical model has been developed. The research findings have been presented within the framework of the theoretical model. According to the research findings, the participants have poor educational background, and most of the participants had attended such an education program for the first time. Originality/value-The participants were satisfied with the program in terms of content and organization. The program has improved their level of theoretical and practical knowledge and awareness on digitization.
