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.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to present a strategic plan for Iranian Academic libraries with an Analysis of the Strategic Plans of Worldwide Academic Libraries. Method: The research method is a combination of descriptive survey and Delphi. The research community included a library of 25 top universities based on the Times Classification. The method of data analysis was descriptive and for analyzing the content of documents and the Delphi technique, we used the method. By exploring the strategic plan of the world's academic libraries with the exploration approach, the structure and content of these programs were extracted. Results: The results of this study showed that all of the 25 libraries were reviewed by the Strategic Plan. But the strategic plan of the 4 academic libraries was not current, and 2 academic libraries did not have a timetable. The analysis of the studied libraries' strategic planning revealed that the programs' structural framework consisted of 11 components including introduction, summary, mission, vision, central values, goal, strategy, actions, strategic priorities, evaluation, and timing. Conclusion: The results of the surveys showed that all of the university libraries had a strategic plan, which indicates the importance of having a strategic plan. Therefore, the achievement of this study was to provide a framework for the strategic plan of Iranian academic libraries.

The aim of the current research is to identify metaverse in digital libraries. And the method of conducting this research is qualitative and based on the theory of the theory, the statistical population includes 10 university specialists who were selected by the purposeful sampling method. The original theoretical saturation sample volume was calculated. The research tool is semi-structured interviews about different tools in digital libraries. To analyze and analyze the data, open, central and selective coding method was used based on theory. The findings of the research show that 53 central themes in the form of causal conditions including "existence of a problem or issue", "individual factors", "management", "organizational", "technology", "political", "social", "institutional" contextual fields. Including "technology development", "users' understanding", "library", "socio-economic status", "technology literacy level", "cultures and values", "background and experience", "users' needs". Intervening conditions include "limited resources", "high speed of change","uncertainty in the future of the metaverse", "human factors". Strategies include "education and awareness", "collaboration with technology companies", "development of technology infrastructure", "research and development" messages include "reduction of access to information", "non-compliance with standards", "security and privacy risks","where "non-acceptance by users". The results of the results said that several factors can be mentioned. As a result, with the development of Metaverse, libraries will have opportunities to provide services to their users. By thinking creatively in the use of this technology, libraries can become valuable educational and social platforms.

The aim of the current research is to design a performance evaluation model of the knowledge management system in the software industry using a neural network. First of all, qualitative method using library studies and review of backgrounds in evaluating the performance of knowledge management has been discussed in relation to the extraction of various indicators and reviewed in past studies. In the second stage, based on the data collected from the qualitative stage, a quantitative study was conducted to confirm and confirm the findings obtained from the qualitative stage. For exploratory study and extraction of categories related to evaluation factors, meta combination method was used. With the fuzzy Delphi method, the validation and presentation of the final indicators were done with the help of a questionnaire and a survey of experts. 7 main categories including individual factors, organizational factors, technology and infrastructure, functional factors, knowledge management tools, economic factors, knowledge management tools and 29 sub-categories were identified. The sample size was selected by simple random sampling with Cochran's formula of 186 people. In order to collect quantitative data, a researcher-made questionnaire was used, the items of which were taken from the results of meta-composite analysis in the first stage. The innovation of the research is building a model using neural network algorithms, which is the ability to predict the performance evaluation index of the knowledge management system and the impact of each of the indicators using neural network in the field of software.

Purpose: This paper examines the culture, information and communication technology, and knowledge sharing methods among employees (librarians and managers) of public libraries in Ahvaz city. Methodology: This is an applied research and has been done by survey. The statistical population was all employees (managers and librarians) of public libraries in Ahvaz city and the implementation time was 2022. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and the content validity of the questionnaire was obtained by experts' opinion and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha (0.90) and dividing it into two halves (0.85).Research findings: In terms of the components of sharing culture, the competition between employees for sharing knowledge with the highest average (3.16) has the best status, and the managers' motivation to share knowledge with other libraries is the lowest with an average of 2.70. Also, the state of knowledge sharing in terms of different methods of knowledge sharing shows that the most favorable state is related to courses and workshops with an average of 3.55, followed by the enterprise resource planning (ERP) with 3.51, as well as the quality of personal communication and informal among librarians with an average of 3.26.Results: In a general conclusion, the state of knowledge sharing in terms of the culture of sharing, the existing conditions of information and communication technology, and the methods of knowledge sharing is not in a good condition, and the public libraries of Ahvaz, in all sectors, need to be upgraded and improved.

The important role of language in transferring and retrieving information cannot be examined independently of its syntax and semantic. Explaining and describing the researches of this field from quantitative and qualitative dimensions and understanding the tendencies of researchers can be an important step in understanding the importance of syntax and semantic in communication structures in modern information search and retrieval environments. Based on this, in this descriptive-analytical study, with the aim of qualitative and quantitative analysis, studies in the field of syntax and semantic have been conducted in information retrieval. In order to conduct this research, Aviard's systematic review method was used.The analysis of studies in this field showed that these studies focus on the three main axes of syntax and semantic in relation to information organization, information retrieval, information search.Overall, the analysis of the selected studies shows that addressing the discussion of syntax and semantic in relation to the organization of information, as well as explaining, analyzing the theoretical aspects of syntax and semantic in information retrieval is one of the things that requires more research, especially interdisciplinary studies. Researchers have the fields of linguistics, information science, and computer science. The results also can have guidelines for specialists in various fields who somehow deal with storing and retrieving information. In addition to, the identified axes and the methods and approaches used and the identified research gaps open the way for researchers to conduct future studies
