The aim of this study was to investigate the views of administrators and librarians of Allameh Tabataba'i University libraries on digital preservation in the cloud environment.The present study is applied in nature and with a descriptive-survey method in two stages. In the first stage, by reviewing the texts of a researcher-made questionnaire with five components: " This questionnaire was designed on a five-point Likert scale and its reliability was 0.852 using Cronbach's alpha. In the second stage, the collected data were analyzed based on descriptive statistics (mean, median, standard deviation and variance) and one-sample t-test. Friedman test was also used to rank the factor of "possible challenges and barriers".Findings showed that the majority of participants were moderately familiar with the concepts of digital protection in the cloud environment. Also, from the point of view of managers and librarians of Allameh Tabataba'i University libraries, "the state of data trust and security in cloud protection" and "the availability of technological infrastructure for cloud protection in the university" is at a desirable level (p <0.05). "The organizational situation of the university for protection in the cloud environment" is at a moderate and relatively desirable level and "Knowledge and awareness required in cloud protection in librarians" is at a relatively undesirable level (p-value >0.05).
