ObjectiveThe purpose of this study is to determine the interaction of researchers with online information resources and provide solutions to increase the quality of information retrieval.MethodologyIn terms of purpose, the present study is a fundamental research that falls into the category of content analysis research and is based on the underlying theory of Strauss and Corbin (1998) and has been done using Max QDA software. This research is one of the library researches that has used field techniques in terms of data collection method.15 researchers who have the most scientific products and naturally have more interaction with information and search for resources, were selected by judgmental sampling and They have been interviewed.FindingsIn this study, which was interviewed with 15 researchers, it was found that researchers mostly refer to Google search engine and databases of Science Direct, Web of Science and Scopus. They also use advanced search and simple search to find their information. They are also familiar with scientific social networks and have been the most visited and researched by Research Gate, LinkedIn and Academia. They were largely satisfied with the quality and accessibility of online resources, but wanted the information organization to have a single standard and order. ConclusionBased on the results of the interviews, we obtained a model that showed that researchers categorize the retrieved information into four components:1.Useful overt information 2. Useful hidden information 3. Useless overt information and 4. Annoying overt information

Pur: the purpose of the present study is to determine the level of knowledge sharing and creativity and the relationship between them. Among Libraries’ Librarians Tarbiat Modares University in 1392. Methodology: the methodology applied for the present study is descriptive-correlation. The study population included 50 librarians and libraries of Humanities, Engineering and the Central Library of the Tarbiat Modares University. Findings: the status of knowledge sharing among the librarians of Tarbiat Moddares University is far from satisfactory, but the creativity of these librarians is up to the scratch. The rate of solidarity between knowledge sharing and creativity with %8 shows that no significant solidarity or relationship exists between them .Conclusion: the libraries ought to participate in educational and research activities in order to improve and enhance knowledge sharing, to propagate and share information and knowledge among librarians and ought to provide required infrastructures for sharing knowledge in the library.
