The main objective of this study was to evaluate the information seeking behavior of academic staff in the use of online resources at Tabataba’i University. The methodology of this study is a descriptive survey and a research application was implemented. The instrument used for data collection questionnaire was developed and distributed among the 472 members of the faculty at Allameh Tabataba’i University. The results show that 80 percent of faculty members through the Internet search and online sources are familiar with the individual studies and their main goal is conducting research into the use of online resources and up to date information. In a variety of magazines, online resources and electronic books more than other types of applications. Eighty eight percent of Allameh Tabataba’i University faculty members use free information resources to meet the needs of their own. The main criteria for the evaluation of the new and updated information are available online resources. According to the results, the biggest difficulties experienced by the fellow members of university staff in using online resources include the constant inaccessibility of information banks owing to the lack of a comprehensive policy in this respect and the very low speed of the Internet.

The enormous amount of knowledge needs sophisticated tools for searching and, often considered as equally important, rationalization. Ontology is one approach for addressing such challenges. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of of the change of ontologies. Due to change in concepts, it is necessary to review the structure of ontologies and tools for organizing this knowledge. Ontologies need to change as fast as the parts of the world they describe. The study reviewed all of the literature, concepts, principles and rules about ontologies. Thus, this research is descriptive and analytical. As a result, a logical architecture was introduced to support the development of ontologies. The low-effort of users in digital libraries and support for change management, are very important for ontologies that should be considered by experts in designing and developing ontologies.

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.

The purpose of categorization or classification is not to separate knowledge from one another, but at the same time recognize them, show the relationships and correlations of knowledge with each other and clarify the unity of science. The used research method is content analysis method. The data collection tool is a priori information resource that has been dealt with in the Descartes Knowledge tree. Descartes' comments and criticisms that were studied by previous studies and the reasons for its disappearance were discussed. The results of this study showed that the reasons for deconcentration of Descartes' classification are unity and the absence of a comprehensive knowledge of both quantitative and behavioral sciences and humanities, the lack of attention to the humanities in general, the lack of consideration of the relation between all sciences as well as the relation among sciences with human needs, the classification of knowledge Instead of classifying science, science is more generally than the knowledge semantically, putting science that is independent today as a subset of mathematics and metaphysics, is considered Descartes' classification only as a hierarchy and the relationships among different sceinces and the interdisciplinary nature of sciences are not included.

Purpose: we aimed to assess the level of service quality in the central library science and culture using standard tools LibQual, examining the differences between users' expectations and the level of services received determined by the need to improve the service components and to prioritize the elements of a list view of the library. This study assessed the quality of library services based on users' expectations on three levels: minimum, maximum estimated and analyzed. Methodology: The study population consisted of 2250 members of the Central Library, Science and Culture, including PhD students, graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty fellow members and employees. Given the sheer size and distribution of the study population, random stratified sampling was used. The sample of study includes 328 students. Findings: Our findings indicated that the influence of the level of service received, the Central Library of Science and Culture, with a mean (33/7) is more than the other dimensions. But the library as a place was not able to meet users' needs and their expectations and with a mean (58/3) to have the lowest level of service received. According to users' perspective, information control (07/60%), service work components (21/26%) and the component library as a place (72/13 percent) were the main important component, respectively. Conclusion: After testing the hypotheses, it was determined that in LibQual components there was a significant relationship between the users' highest and lowest expectations and the level service received. Also there was a significant difference among perspectives of PhD students, graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty fellow members and employees in the lowest expectations", "the highest expectations" and "received services". Finally, with the results obtained in the field and to improve the level of service quality in academic libraries, solutions and recommendations were presented.

Knowledge auditing is the first step in knowledge management programs. Knowledge auditing helps to identify knowledge management needs, areas of strength and weaknesses, opportunities and threats in organization. This paper aims to introduce models of knowledge auditing. It proposes a knowledge auditing model for Iranian research centers. Firstly library research method is used for introducing existing important knowledge auditing models. Then analysis and modeling method is used to propose a suitable model for Iranian scientific institutes. Different models can be used to audit organizations. The important ones are Hylton, Albers, Perez-Soltero et al, Wu and Lee, Ganasan, Durai and Dominic. Study led to a six-stage model of the knowledge auditing, namely, 1. To identify structural and strategic elements, 2. To identify knowledge needs 3. To identify knowledge flow, 4. To identify knowledge inventory, 5. To draw a knowledge map, 6. To identify areas of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Abstract This article aimed to have a deep understanding of knowledge sharing behavior as a key element in the knowledge management process and the survival factor of organizations in the present era and tried to illustrate this point by analyzing applied theories in this field and to show how these theories have facilitated distinctive research on knowledge sharing. The present article is a narrative review and uses a library method to study a variety of articles that examine the motivational factors affecting knowledge sharing behavior in and out of the country, based on different theories. After extracting the theories from related articles, it became clear which of these theories belong to which disciplines and their applicability in this field was identified.Various motivational factors that influence individuals to engage in knowledge sharing behavior are examined by analyzing the theories in the fields of social psychology, economics, knowledge and information science and management that have been used in studies of this field. It is found that theory of reasoned action, theory of planned behavior, Social exchange theory, balance theory, self-determination theory, costly signaling theory and regulatory focus theory from social psychology, resource dependency theory in economics, anomalous State of knowledge theory from knowledge and information science and organizational climate theory from management are applicable in the area of knowledge sharing behavior. In order to interpret the knowledge sharing behavior, it was necessary to analyze the theories applied and adopted from other disciplines in this field to provide a deep insight into the psychological, economic, organizational, as well as individual capabilities that influence the intentions of individuals to share knowledge. Knowledge sharing can gain much of its understanding of theories of social psychology. Concepts such as the attitude and behavioral intention of these theories affect knowledge sharing behavior.By understanding the recurrent relationships between different organizational and individual motivational factors, knowledge sharing behaviors and outcomes can understand how organizations can adapt knowledge sharing processes to performance improvement. Senior executives should pay serious attention to, and support, in providing facilities, building trust, encouraging and educating employees about sharing knowledge and its benefits.

This study seeks to determine the level of knowledge and skills of PhD students in publishing their resources in scholarly journals and assess the relationship between publishing skills in journals and variables of field, gender, age and its relationship with the number of articles published in national and international journals. Finally, the impact of participating in related workshops is on the level of this skill. Methodology is an applied type with a quantitative and survey method. The statistical population includes all PhD students at the University of Isfahan in the number of 2432 people. The sampling was stratified random, the volume of which was estimated to be 332 using Krejcie and Morgan table, The skills rate of students was moderate and varied in different fields. But gender and age had no effect on its rate. The level of literacy was also positively correlated with the number of articles published in internal and international journals, and participation in related workshop increased its average score. Since the students' skills were moderate, this research could be the beginning of a study that, like information literacy, creates a framework called publishing literacy in scholarly journals for novice researchers to benefit from. The results indicated the acquisition of this skill, the need to plan related training courses, the impact of the author's role in increasing this skill, the need to modify and pay attention to regulations and criteria for student admission, and the importance of holding related training workshops by universities.

This descriptive survey evaluates the digital libraries of Allameh Tabataba’i University and Tebyan Cultural Institute based on the Xie and Joo (2013) digital library evaluation criteria. A checklist was made based on information from 10 structural dimensions of digital library evaluation criteria. It was then set up as a researcher-made questionnaire based on the Xie and Joo digital library evaluation criteria. To collect data, questionnaires were distributed among librarians and users of the two digital libraries. Sixty-three valid responses were collected and analysed with SPSS software .Findings showed that the two digital libraries were in a moderate condition in two dimensions (user engagement and context); and in good condition in the others. The findings of the inferential statistics show that there is no significant difference between users’ and employees’ viewpoints on the dimensions of the digital collection, interface design, context, preservation and administration (sustainability). However, regarding the information organization and services (level 0.01), the dimensions of technology and the effects on the user (level 0.02), there is a significant difference between the two systems in terms of the user engagement dimension with the relative superiority of Allameh Tabataba’i digital library.The results show that despite the differences in the type of these two libraries, there is not much difference between the studied dimensions (other than those mentioned in the findings), but in some dimensions, there is a slight difference between the respondents' opinions. It is seen with the relative and partial superiority of Allameh Tabataba’i digital library.

Knowledge organization, which provides easy, accurate and fast access to knowledge content, is carried out using metadata derived from standardized and controlled vocabulary. These standard metadata are the result of the scientific community and its subject matter experts. Based on the traditional approach of knowledge organization and retrieval, there is a duality between information and knowledge and human beings, and knowledge organization as objective and neutral descriptions of a already there universe of knowledge. This notion of objectivity and neutrality was falls with the rise of postmodernism. In the postmodern view, facts, truth and knowledge is regards as constructed in a particular discourse community. Postmodern theory, therefore, is the organization of information as the active interaction of human beings with concepts and information to construct systems of knowledge organization. Therefore, the rules, guidelines, and standards for organizing information are less interested, and what is important is the dynamic interpretation of the texts, and hence the dynamics of the content structure and the interpretive process in the knowledge organization. In the field of Islamic sciences, this is especially important because Islamic texts, such as the sources of the Qur'an and the hadith sciences, are the basis of religious law and the ethical and religious foundations, and the precise and accurate organization of these sources results in a proper retrieval and in the result, will be correct religious, ethical, and religious law.

The culture of academic emphasis is one of the cultures at school, where teachers put collaborative methods on the agenda. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that make and develop the culture of academic emphasis culture in Tehran schools in school year of 2017-2018. This study was carried out in a qualitative method of phenomenological type. The sample for this study consisted of 24 experts and educators who were interviewed with semi-structured interviews, so that the data gathered based on theoretical saturation. In order to analyze the data, the “NVivo 10” software has been used. Findings of this study indicated that the four factors play the most role in academic emphasis culture in schools. These factors were: "the quality of educational activities" had the highest score, and in the first place, "constructive feedback" in the second place, "the quality of educational environment" in the third place, "mental and job security" was in the fourth place. Therefore, in order to grow the culture of academic emphasis in schools, all identified factors in schools must be developed in a coordinated way, since achieving a teacher's academic emphasis culture requires the development of a system that needs to be carefully planned and should be compatible with the needs of the community.
