Model Legal Bill for Publications and Libraries Supplemented by Incorporation of Laws and the Grounded Theory Approach

The present study intends to introduce the model of the ‘Publications and Libraries Bill’ by monitoring and compiling the laws and regulations in this field. This research is conducted using the Grounded Theory Approach and aims to further develop its application. Developmental-Applied Data and a Combination Method that integrates Documentary, Delphi and Grounded methods was used. 75 studies based on the subject of publication and 185 studies based on the subject of libraries (various kinds of libraries) were found and identified. Then, each subset status was determined. By analyzing the data of the questionnaire, 15 legal vacuums were found and identified.  The most important, was the requirement to establish and strengthen school libraries in schools. After obtaining interviews and reviewing them word by word and using the Content-Analysis Method, 52 concepts were extracted from 86 key concepts. They were then grouped into 12 categories; these were: publishers, publishing, authors, macro strategies, structure and organization, librarians, public and academic libraries, resources and credits, collection and judicial affairs and penalties. Using the methods of Grounded Theory, conceptualization and categorization, conceptual relationships and isolating common features between open identifiers, concepts and categories were identified based on the similarities found among them. As a result, the final model was based on three categories: conceptual, qualitative, and component components. The pivotal coding model of the bill included the causal conditions, intervening conditions, ground conditions and strategies and outcomes, and then finally, with full identification of the gaps and legal requirements, a proposed bill of support for publications and libraries was prepared.
