Users in the library software environment are immersed in a sea of ​​information and searching in this space is time-consuming and confusing for them. By searching for each keyword, the software identifies and displays many resources, and choosing the most appropriate and relevant source to the user's needs is another matter.One of the major problems with library software is the loss of information in the software. Personalizing information and giving advice to users depends on storing data in the library system. For example, in the search section of many library softwares, there is no requirement to enter the users' personal page, and the system performs the search and retrieval of information without identifying the users. Recommending systems are created primarily to offer an option to the user in the search or selection process, thereby helping them to choose a better option. Therefore, the present research aims at providing a model for recommendation systems of information resources in Iranian library software.

This study, in terms of the purpose, is an applied research. Descriptive survey method was used to evaluate the recommendation status of library software. Moreover, the system design method was utilized to suggest the recommendation pattern in library software. Data were gathered through in-depth and semi-structured interviews with managers and specialists of library software. The data were coded and extracted using the MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software.

Qualitative analysis of the interview results led to the identification of five main categories, 16 sub-categories, and their concepts. The findings showed that in the category of the current strategies of library software for the recommendation, traditional method of recommendation, defining relationship between records, relationship between topics, relationship between words, and defining the search refinement module have been utilized. Moreover, in the category of determining the level of familiarity with the recommender system, three categories of perfect familiarity (17%), brief familiarity (50%) and unfamiliarity (33%) were identified. In terms of the required facilities of the recommender systems, the sub-categories of technical, system, and specialized facilities (customization) were recognized, and its concepts were explained. The challenges of adding a recommender system in two categories of technical and non-technical challenges and their concepts were pointed out. In addition, the benefits of adding a recommender system were explained in three categories, namely the benefits for library members, for librarians, as well as for software companies. Also, the characteristics of the appropriate design pattern of the recommender system of the Iranian library software were identified and suggested.

The results of data analysis of interviews with managers and specialists of the Iranian library software companies showed that the companies are moving on the way to take advantage of modern technologies. They have implemented some requirements for the implementation of the recommender system in their software. Currently, the creation and completion of similarities between information resources have been allocated to librarians as their responsibility or designed based on search refinement techniques (like faceted search or clustering), which this section in software has the ability to become a recommender system. The results also showed that familiarity of managers and professionals of the companies with the recommender systems is moderate. Companies are needed to be aware of recommender systems based on the identified challenges and benefits of recommender systems in library software. Additionally, the pattern of recommender systems in the Iranian library software is designed and offered.

The present investigation was conducted with the aim of identifying the application of semantic technology in information retrieval in the softwares of digital libraries.

This survey is applied one which is done by descriptive method. Sampling population includes 8 digital library softwares Simorgh, Payam Mashregh, Pars Azarakhsh, Payam Hanan, Rasa, Tebyan, Saman and Pasargad. After reviewing the literature and available resources, the criteria related to semantic technology components were determined in data retrieval in digital library softwares. The tool used for gathering the data is the checklist that is used in the field of semantic technological practices in marketing information in digital library softwares, this is under the observation of experts, in addition, the method of Delphi is used in this investigation in 3 fields namely semantic technological architecture, semantic technological tools, semantic technologies in marketing information and the level of implementation. In order to analyze the data, Excel and SPSS 25 softwares were used.

The findings showed that digital libraries do not have a suitable condition and they need the layers more than the first designing. Also, semantic tools and implemented languages have a very weak semantic technology, and there are not many semantic tools for development and implementation, and they surpassed each other in a few cases. Furthermore, in terms of implementing tools, they do not have a suitable situation and by paying attention to this area in information marketing, it needs a serious observing by the digital library software designers. But, in semantic technology in information marketing activities the situation was suitable, however, the layers of its implementing in digital libraries is not in a suitable condition. This research, in addition to providing a checklist on the application of semantic technology in data retrieval in digital library software, based on existing records and expert opinion, has made it possible for designers and programmers of digital library software to identify their strengths and weaknesses, with the criteria and components in this area, and the degree of importance of each of them, will become more familiar with the design of digital library softwares.

Considering the growing capabilities of technologies based on artificial intelligence, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the usability of Iranian products/software based on artificial intelligence in libraries and It is library software.

This research is applied in terms of purpose and analytical and descriptive-survey in terms of quantitative method. The research community, after applying the entry and exit conditions, finally consisted of 21 companies active in the field of artificial intelligence software products. The data collection tool was a researcher-made checklist that included two sections, company demographic information and research questions, and its reliability was confirmed with Cronbach's alpha of 0.84.

The research findings showed that most of the fields of activity of the mentioned companies were text, image and audio processing and the products of these companies can be used in library software.

Utilization of artificial intelligence in the field of library software in Iran is a nascent and growing science and companies related to this field to design and produce native software compatible with the official language of the country are on the path of progress. And development.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate in-house library software in terms of performance indicators based on the view of librarians. The study population included 131 librarians. The researcher-evaluated research method and the method of collecting the researcher-made. The results showed that 64/64 of software in circulation advice, Symad software 50/89 percent, 08/70 percent Parwan software, software Tehran 22/56 percent, 76 percent have a favorable condition sojourn software. The procurement and ordering section does not exist in the software of Tehran, Pand, Parwan. And although it's designed, it's not actually used in Mava software. Only in the Simmand software librarians actually use this section and 36.1% of them are in good condition. In storage and retrieval of 41.64% of software, 34.71% of Simmand software, 24.61% of Parwan software, 37.69% of software in Tehran, 40.38% of Mova software are in good condition. In the reporting section, 24.24% of the software is Pand, 53.20% of the software, 18.19% of the software in Parwan, 32.77% of the software in Tehran, 56.08% of the software in Mova is a desirable situation. The results showed that only Simmand software has paid attention to the orders section, which requires more attention in this section. Also, the software is lagging behind in various subdivisions , there are weaknesses,In fact, intra-house library software has been able to some extent meet the daily needs of librarians in these sectors, but, given the advancement of technology, it has not been able to meet their expectations

This survey is done in order to identify the Simorg software surface external architecture information from the points of view of expertised librarians' Management and planning Organization in Iran.

Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was also performed to check the compliance of data with normal distribution.

the results indicated that the librarians surveyed in this study, with an average of 55/3, the outer surface of the information architecture of Phoenix software in terms of organization, position on the screen, forms have data entry, alerts and The error is in good condition. Findings showed that between the views of librarians in this study with an average of 73.3, the degree of interaction with the external level of Simorgh software in terms of capabilities and features of information architecture such as processing speed and software interaction, the ability to correct user errors, data exchange, Routing, use of Boolean operators, etc. are in good condition. Findings showed that among the librarians in this study with an average of 52.3, Simorgh software has flexibility and user-friendliness and also has a significant effect on increasing the effectiveness, efficiency and job satisfaction of librarians.

Information architecture is a way to organize content in software systems with the aim of increasing the accessibility and comprehensibility of information by users. The role of information architecture as a tool for planning, organizing and application development of information technology is very prominent. Therefore there is so much coincidence between Simorg software external surface architecture information from Plan and Budget Organizatin in librarians' points of view in the provinces of country.

The purpose of research; was to investigation status of the librarians’ usage of library software capabilities in Kermanshah academic libraries.

Research was applied in terms of its aim and analytical survey of the method. The survey population included the total 45 librarians in Kermanshah Academic libraries that Census was conducted. Data were gathered by a self-made questionnaire. And for data analysis, were used independent t test, one way ANOVA and SPSS 22 software.

The findings showed that librarians mostly use the library software's capabilities in circulation and output and processing were used the most; and searching in terms of average use of library software capabilities, was used the least.

Librarians of Kermanshah University Libraries have a good ability in using circulation, management, Organization and input of information, output and processing of library software capabilities, but in the searching capability, their performance is not desirable. Therefore, it is necessary to provide librarians with the necessary training and awareness about the capabilities of this section, and library designers will review this section according to the needs of librarians.

 the current research aimed to investigate the librarians’ usage of library software capabilities in regard with management, input-output, and preparation issues in special libraries located at Ahvaz city.

research was an applied one and with a survey method. The survey population were the total number of 74 librarians in Ahvaz’s special libraries. Due to the limited number of librarians, no sampling was applied. Data were gathered by a self-made questionnaire. Subsequently, the data gathered were then analyzed by statistical methods like independent t test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson using software SPSS version 22.0.

 mostly, libraries use the library software capabilities in management, organization, information input-output and preparation as well. Generally speaking, capabilities in organization, information input-output and preparation services were highly used compared to management capabilities as the least ones. Furthermore, analyzing the demographic characteristics showed that gender, field of study, years of service and age had no significant difference on the usage of library software capabilities by librarians.

Overall, librarians had a good ability in using management, output and preparation capabilities available in library software. However, in terms of organization and information input, there is a need to train librarians about the capabilities of the software. Lastly, library software designers must evaluate and redesign the software to match the needs of the librarians.

Perception of icons is one of the most important elements of graphical user interface in information systems that is affected by personal and environmental factors, including user's mental models. The present study tended to investigate factors affecting on the user's mental models of icons in digital library software. This is an applied research using qualitive and quantitive approach. Gathering data tool in quantitive section is researcher-made questionnaire and in qualitive section is semi-structured interview. The participants consisted of B.A. and M.A. students of knowledge and information science in Shiraz University and Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and Shiraz University librarians, 174 persons. According to the results, " experience", "icon's functions", "external characteristics of icon", and "context" are four main categories affecting on user's mental models of icons. "Experience" includes user's former familiarity and experience and " icon's functions " includes compatibility of icon function with its picture, referring the icon to unknown and uncommon function rather than common function, common function in different applications and special functions of some of icons. " appearance characteristic of icons" includes color, size, clarity, context and complexity of icon. It hasn’t been any research that investigate factors affecting on user's mental models of icons in digital library software. Recognition of factors affecting on user's mental models can help digital library software designers to design the icons that have more consonancy with users’ mental models and eventually provide users satisfaction.
