In order to remove this undesirable situation, it is necessary to explain "monolingual, bilingual, bilingualized, printed, electronic" dictionary types generally that users frequently encounter and to show which dictionary should be consulted by whom in which case. For this purpose, previous studies with document analysis, which is one of the qualitative research methods, and sources related to the field were examined in the context of the problem culprit, "Which dictionary should be used by whom in which case?", and from the obtained findings, dictionary types have been defined, compared with each other, and it has been described who should consult to which dictionary. Besides, it also shows who the users are and when they apply to the dictionary. To achieve this, it is determined who the users are and when they apply to the dictionary, and the superior (advantages) and weak (disadvantages) sides of the dictionary in which they encounter are explained.
