The current study aimed to identify the effective aspects and factors on knowledge culture. It further strived to present a model for explaining the relationship between knowledge culture and effectiveness of knowledge management procedures in a knowledge-based organization. The study used a mixture of library and documentary studies، and exploratory mixed methods. First، the literature was reviewed to extract the effective aspects and factors on knowledge culture and the conceptual model was developed. Then، a questionnaire which was validated through eliciting the comments of experts and examining the status of knowledge management in the organization was distributed to the researchers who were randomly selected to be included in the sample. The collected data were examined through AMOS and SPSS software. The possible relationship between the components of the model was investigated through posing five hypotheses and correlational coefficient test. The results of structural equation modeling demonstrated a significant positive relationship between contextual factors and aspects of knowledge culture and between knowledge culture and the knowledge management effectiveness. Evaluating the variables of the conceptual model revealed that staff members’ characteristics، information technology and job characteristics would make a significant positive impact on knowledge creation and knowledge sharing. However، these factors had no significant influence on knowledge cooperation and knowledge learning.

The main purpose of present research was to identify strategic factors influencing to the development of digital libraries in Iran. Research method of this study is grounded theory، which we use systematic method. The study sample consisted of professionals and experts in the field of digital library، and semi-structured interviews used to collect data to achieve theoretical saturation. Data have been discussed after coding and forming main classes Affective Strategic Factors in development of digital libraries in order of importance and priority are management mechanisms، mechanisms of development of human resources، legal mechanisms، content and services mechanisms.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between strategic thinking and performance of employees who worked in libraries’ employees of Ilam University. Research method was descriptive –correlational in which especially Structural Equation Modeling was used. All of libraries’ employees of Ilam university (N=200) was made the population of study and via Morgan’s table 127 subjected selected and studied. To collect the data, standards questionnaires were used and reliability coefficient was 0.91. In order to analyze the data, LISREL software applied and findings shows that there is positive relationship between strategic thinking and performance of employees. Also, when all dimension of strategic thinking () was test, results shows that there is positive relationship between individual dimensions with performance of employees of Ilam university library.

In the this research، effective factors on digital libraries’ development in central libraries of public universities in Tehran have been identified from these libraries administrator’s view. This study is applied، based on descriptive-analytical method. For data collection we used researcher-made questionnaire، Based on the Digital Library Federation definition (including human resources، collections development، services and technology) and literature review that will confirmed its validity by experts. The study population was central library’s administrators of state universities in Tehran. From the point of view of studied population all 43 factors mentioned in this study were effective. The most effective factor was training staffs along with outsourcing some activities and the most important strategy is using good experience of national and international models and determining the level of information access in digital libraries in order to enhance services. At the end، there are significant differences between the views of managers in comparison with effective solutions in development of services and technology to develop a digital library system. Originality/ value: This research is the first research conducted on identifying the affective factors on digital library development. Also، identifying these factors play very important role in the improving digital libraries activities.

Given the crucial role of financial aids and grants in research progress، the present communication attempts to study the research funding situation in Iran during 2008-2011. Research The present paper applies a scientometric method to study the data related to Iranian scientific productions extracted from Science Citation Index Expanded. The data are analyzed using Excel and SPSS، based on descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings reveal that more than 30 percent of Iranian scientific papers are supported by research funds، of which about 25 percent are internationally funded. The highest ranked universities in terms of the amount of funded papers، especially by foreign resources، largely consist of those based in capital، along with Azad Islamic University. They are، also، revealed to be the most successful in collaborating with foreign organizations in providing research grants and aids. Given the low number of funded papers، Iranian researchers are required to endeavor seriously to absorb more research funds، especially from foreign states and international organizations. Research instruments and equipments being very expensive in many disciplines، researchers’ attempts to absorb foreign resources can be an appropriate solution to overcome financial shortage and instrumental poverty in scientifically developing countries.

This paper has two main goals: first، to evaluate the position of Geological Survey of Iran Library through the assessment of internal (strengths and weaknesses) and external (opportunities and threats) environment; and then، provide solutions and strategies to help library managers and administrators to achieve their goals، missions and visions. Among the existing models، David، Fred & Hunger''s model and strategic factors analysis technique (SWOT) was applied. Data were collected by analyzing library documents، interviews with stakeholders and a questionare developed by the researchers. Interveiw questions and questionnaire were constructed based on Iranian Special Library Standards. By analyzing the data، internal and external strategic factors were identified and ranked according to their importance and weight. The results show the score of 2. 999 and 2. 275 for internal and external factors evaluation، respectively; in other words، based on the evaluation of internal and external factors، the library stands in a middle position. Based on the findings، sixteen main strategies concerning with services، management، human resources، and equipments، with priority schedualing، was proposed. Originality: This research can be regarded as the first study which has evaluated an important special library in Iran using internal and external factors analysis. This study developed a set of guidelines and strategic factors in various categories that can be applied by the library and other libraries for the future planning and actions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate a review article published in the Ketabmah: Kolliat based on BREM.

The study method was applied and bibliometric and Data gathering tool is the standard checklist. population included all book review articles published in the Ketabmah: Kolliat In 1390. statistical methods in descriptive and inferential statistics (independent t -test and ANOVA) was used.

Results showed a mean index of content، writing، design and other in index of articles published in Ketabmah: Kolliat Book Review. overall in the 1390 model BREM، respectively، 2/2، 32/2، 13/1 and 97/2 out of 4. Between gender، education and profession critics and the average score of the Journal Book of the month Book Review: There are no overall significant difference (05/0P-value>).

Results according to critics writing features and moderate to high content of the characteristic of the visual effect is often neglected. The higher the average score of other appears to be correct and complete the review and provide critical training is essential.
