The purpose of the current research was to design a metadata application profile for describing and organizing(processing) the content objects of the Library, Museum, and Archive of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh(A.S.). The research method was practical in terms of the goal, which was carried out with an analysis approach. The research community was the employees of the organization department and managers of the Library, Museum and Archive and elements and attributes of the metadata standards of the cultural heritage context (library,archive and museum), which were selected by purposeful sampling method. The data collection method was structured observation and the tools were interviews, questionnaires and checklists. The findings showed that in order to describe and organize (process) the content objects of the Library, Museum, and Archive of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh(A.S.), three separate metadata application profiles are needed for the library, museum, and archive. The metadata application profile designed for library, museum and archives content objects had a 53, 83, and 27 main and sub elements, respectively. MODS, Spectrum, and ISAD had a highest number in the metadata application profile in the contexts of library, museum, and archives, respectively.The design of a metadata application profile will lead to the proper description and processing of content objects, more convergence of the cultural heritage context, as well as better management of metadata. This is done according to local context and needs, and it will increase the access points, retrieval and more interoperability with other information management systems and libraries.

Technique of importance- performance is an essential step in defining quality improvement programs, defining clients' perceptions and expectations and institutions performance analysis. The purpose of this research is to evaluate faculty of management and accountings' performance in Allameh Tabataba’i University with analysis of importance-performance approach. The reason of libraries' existence is to live up to their stakeholder's satisfaction and expectations; therefore, it should be evaluated how this institute has acted to achieve that goal. This research is Applied and survey. So a questionnaire with 30 indexes is designed to evaluate libraries performance by using defined 3 dimensions of Libqual model. In this questionnaire, opinions of teachers and authorities in this field are considered (face and content reliability). Therefore, Alfa Cronbakh test is used to measure the reliability. LISREL software is used to measure each index, also average number is considered for evaluation of performance. Results show 21 of 30 indexes are placed in the second quarter. This represents good performance of library in relation to clients. On the other hand, we can claim the performance of this library has been high because it has fulfilled 70% of Client’s expectation and needs. On the basis of results, we fulfilled managers promote their performance about indexes that are considered important by clients but library has overlooked.
