Self-organization in the sense of the ability of biological, natural and social systems to change their structure by themselves during the process of their interaction with the environment is one of the most important cybernetic and conceptual principles at the core of systems science. Although self-organizing is rooted in biology and physics, but also social systems, the Internet and virtual social networks because of the characteristics of self-organized systems (such as complexity, dynamism, imbalance, spontaneity, interaction, recreation, self-preservation, synergy, positive feedback and Negative and...) Can be considered self-organizing. Society can be described as a self-creating and self-organizing system that is able to reproduce and organize itself through structural actions and interactions and social actors and based on human creative activities. The Internet is also a technological-social system (consisting of a technological subsystem or networks consisting of computer networks and social subsystems or networks consisting of social communication networks) and a network of networks in which the human factor plays a key role in web self-organization.The present study was conducted in a conceptual review manner with the aim of explaining the principle of self-organization in social systems, especially the Internet and virtual social networks.

Considering the importance and necessity of cybernetics in various subjects, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of the role of cybernetics in the marketing and development of information resources in university libraries. This research is of the correlation type and based on the method of obtaining the required data in the category of descriptive-survey research and according to its purpose, it is an applied research. The statistical population studied in this research are all managers and librarians of university libraries and students of information science and epistemology in Tehran city, based on Cochran's formula, the statistical sample size was determined to be 242 people. The sampling method is stratified random In order to measure the research variables, Birnbaum standard questionnaires (2013) were used. The validity of the questionnaire was determined using the opinions of experts and experts and their reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha of 91%. To test the hypotheses, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Spearman correlation, Friedman, Shannon entropy technique, chi-square and binomial test were used. The results showed that cybernetics and its components have an impact on the marketing and development of information resources in academic libraries. Among the cybernetic components, the leadership component has the most impact and hard and loose operations have the least impact on the marketing and development of information resources in academic libraries.
