زنده‌باد کتابخانه‌ها استاد فقید، مرحومه پوری سلطانی در مصاحبه‌ای فرمودند:"کتابداری کاری نیست که شما انجام بدهید و تمام بشود، بلکه یک علم، فن و هنر پویا است که دائماً باید زندگی کند و زنده باشد." نکته‌ی جالب در این سخن گهربار زندگی کردن و زنده‌بودن کتابداری است. درواقع، با توجه به این سخن، کتابداری یا علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی یک ارگان یا سازمان زنده است. یک سازمان زنده نفس می‌کشد، نیاز به غذا و توجه و مراقبت دارد و می‌میرد ولی میرایی در مورد نهادهایی که با آحاد مردم سروکار دارند و در جامعه و با جامعه نفس می‌کشند ممکن نیست. تا زمانی که مردم نقش پویا دارند، کتابخانه و کتابداری باقی و زنده خواهد بود. جوامعی که در آن خواندن نیرو محرکه‌ی جامعه است، عمل به خواندن موجب حیات کتابخانه‌ها خواهد شد و درنتیجه علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی که فلسفه وجودی‌اش، وجود کتابخانه‌هاست زنده خواهد ماند. این علم از کتابخانه‌ها نفس می‌گیرد و کتابخانه‌ها از جامعه نفس می‌گیرند، این عمل دم و بازدم موجب پویایی و زنده ماندن کتابخانه‌ها و متعاقباً علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی می‌شود. چه باید کرد تا کتابخانه‌ها زنده بمانند؟ آیا می‌توان انتظار داشت در جامعه‌ای که پشت به کتاب کرده است، کتابخانه‌ها زنده بمانند و کتابداری که علم وابسته به کتابخانه‌هاست پویا باشد؟ به‌راستی مسئولیت این مهم با کیست؟ ما کتابداران تا چه اندازه دارای مسئولیت هستیم؟ آیا همیشه حیات علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی از کتابخانه‌ها جان می‌گیرد و یا جهت عکس آن‌هم ممکن است؟ آیا جامعه‌ی دانشگاهی مسئولیت بازنگری به آموزش، منابع علمی و نیازهای کتابخانه‌ها را نباید به عهده بگیرد؟ راهکارهای ادامه‌ی حیات کتابخانه‌ها و علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی را می‌توان در دو بعد بازنگری کرد. دولت و مردم. این‌که کدام بر دیگری ارجحیت دارد به‌راستی نمی‌توان به قطعیت رسید. ازیک‌طرف، اکثر کتابخانه‌های ما دولتی و یا وابسته به بودجه‌ی نهادهای دولتی هستند لذا کارکنان آن‌ها نیز کارمندان بالقوه دولت هستند. از طرف دیگر کتابخانه‌ها می‌بایست در خدمت جوامع مختلف اعم از مردم عادی تا دانش‌پژوهان دانشگاهی باشند. تدوین برخی از سیاست‌ها از طرف دولت‌ها ابلاغ می‌شوند. مثلاً تغییر نظام آموزشی از کتاب درسی محور به پژوهش محور یا مطالعه محور می‌بایست از طرف دولت برنامه‌ریزی، حمایت و پیاده شود. در سال‌های اخیر تلاش‌هایی در راستای این مسئله انجام شده است ولی گویا همه‌چیز به کنکور ختم می‌شود و انرژی و انگیزه‌های بالقوه نونهالان و نوجوانان کشورمان می‌بایست در جهت در راه موفقیت در کنکور تلف شود. این سال‌های طلایی است که ما از دست می‌دهیم، در این سال‌های طلایی فعالیت‌های علمی در حد خواندن و حفظیات تلف می‌شوند. سال‌هایی که مطالعه کردن می‌بایست تبدیل به عادت شود. این مسئولیت مهم دولت و نهادهای قانون گزار است که به دست فراموشی سپرده شده است. کدام مصوبه مجلس در دهه‌های اخیر در مورد این امر مهم بوده است؟ کدام قوانین آموزشی دانش‌آموزان کشورمان را بر محور مطالعه منابع غیردرسی سوق داده‌اند؟ مگر می‌توان کتابخانه‌ها را با مسابقه‌ی کتاب‌خوانی زنده نگه داشت. این دور باطلی است که همه ما در حال نظاره‌ی آن هستیم. مسئولیت دیگر، به عهده‌ی خود مردم است. پویایی کتابخانه‌ها یک مسئولیت اجتماعی است. گروه‌های مردم‌نهاد در این رابطه اندک هستند. اخیراً خیرین کتابخانه ساز در برخی از استان‌ها فعال شده‌اند ولی راهی طولانی در این رابطه وجود دارد. رشد این نهادها می‌بایست از طرف نهادهای دولتی تشویق شود و قوانین دست‌وپا گیر می‌بایست بازنگری شوند تا کتابداران جوان رهبری این مهم را به عهده بگیرند. یکی دیگر از عوامل تأثیرگذار، جامعه‌ی دانشگاهی است. جامعه دانشگاهی علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی ازیک‌طرف، می‌بایست نیازهای جامعه فراگیران، نیازهای کتابخانه‌ها و به‌طور کل نیازهای جامعه را بررسی و واکاوی نماید و آموزش‌ها‌ی خود را مبتنی بر نیازها انجام دهد. جامعه دانشگاهی می‌بایست در دل جامعه زندگی کند و راهکارها را از دل جامعه و منابع علمی به‌روز استخراج نماید و چراها را پاسخ دهد. جوامع دانشگاهی جدای از جامعه و دولت نیستند و نمی‌توان منتظر دیکته دستورالعمل‌ها از طرف نهادهای دولتی ماند. مسئولیت اجتماعی همه‌ی ما ایجاب می‌کند تا به این نهاد نیمه‌جان روحی تازه ببخشیم. همان‌طور که حیات علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی وابسته به کتابخانه‌هاست، حیات کتابخانه‌ها نیز وابسته به علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی است. بی‌‌تفاوتی نسبت به کتابخانه‌ها و وضعیت کنونی موجب افول ستاره‌ی کتابخانه‌ها و درنتیجه افول رشته علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی خواهد شد. گرچه بارقه‌های امید سوسو می‌زند ولی برنامه‌ریزی و مدیریت برای زنده نگه‌داشتن کتابخانه‌ها از طرف نهادهای ذی‌ربط و عزم ملی از طرف آحاد مردم و بخصوص از طرف جامعه‌ی علم اطلاعات و دانش شناسی موجب تحرک کتابخانه‌ها خواهد شد.

Purpose: The aim of this research was to find out the status of indexing and ranking MARCXML and DCXML metadata records based on the linking approach by Web search engines. Methodology: 100 XML-based metadata records in two groups (50 DCXML metadata records in the first group and 50 MARCXML metadata records in the second group were analyzed through a comparative-analytical approach. The records were published on an independent website (http://www.aghaabedi.com), and were introduced to Google and Yahoo! search engines directly. Then using search strategies, the indexability and ranking of the published metadata records were examined. Findings: findings show all the metadata element values were indexed by Google and Yahoo!, and all the metadata records were ranked in the search results. Based on the research, all the metadata records are retrievable in Web search engines environment by the element values. There was no significant difference between two groups’ indexing and ranking. Conclusion: Implementing metadata records in XML syntax improves the indexability of them. This feature helps users to retrieve the content objects by Web search engines, but does not affect the ranking of the metadata records and the DCXML and MARCXML records were ranked equally.

purpose: The aim of this paper was to investigate the reciprocal link between ontologies, known as advanced tools in the representation of information, and knowledge management, thought of as an appropriate bedrock to use ontologies.Methodology: The library method was employed to conduct this study, and the necessary information was provided through searching for papers and printed and electronic sources of information.Using the desk method, this paper investigated the concepts of ontology and knowledge management and also the link between them.Findings: Nowadays organizations need to apply ontologies in the processes pertaining to the available knowledge more than before. The reason is that ontology is considered a powerful tool which is able to represent conceptual knowledge in organizations. It also helps the dynamism of organizational knowledge to a great extent.Conclusion: Providing a set of formal definitions for the concepts of an area and determining the relationships among them, ontology lays the groundwork for the creation of a knowledge base in that subject area. This is considered to be the value added in the implementation of organizational knowledge management, particularly in specialized agencies.

purpose: This study examined the status of service delivery in the collection Shahid Chamran University libraries, including school libraries and the central library. Methodology: The methodology used in this study was a survey using a questionnaire based on the standards of academic libraries. Results: The results showed that, overall, the services that libraries subsidies are limited, existing standards as well as away. Conclusion: The study revealed a significant gap libraries with relevant standards in this area are examined. It can be concluded that based on the findings, the study population, the services provided by libraries, mainly traditional and modern developments is less than flavor. Especially those services that are user-oriented spirit and their presence in the library can be the manifestation of progress in services, such as interlibrary loan and information services, or in the library of the study does not provide, or that are incomplete and non-efficient. In total, these libraries, the situation is unfortunately a progressive conditions and there are many. The results of this study, like all studies reviewed show in her background of non-compliance with the demands and expectations of users and offers services defined.
