The purpose of the present survey is to study the status of knowledge documentation in SCU registrars from the registrars’ employees’ viewpoints in SCU. The research is a survey of a descriptive-analytical type. The questionnaires were distributed among 110 registrars’ employees in SCU. To analyze the data, some descriptive and inferential statistical tests were employed. Findings indicate that the documentation status is relatively desirable, and the employees’ awareness of documentation values is high. Based on employees’ viewpoints, five instructional, behavioral, technological, legal, and structural infrastructures and factors were found necessary for documentation. Transmission of employees' experiences to others before retirement, experienced registrars’ employees privilege of intellectual property rights, publication of a documented manual of knowledge and important actions performed in registrars, and the publication of employees’ documented knowledge in specialized periodicals or as books were among mechanisms identified to improve and develop the documentation system in registrars. Keywords: documentation, experienced employees, registrars’ employees, knowledge management, SCU

This study aimed at investigating the relationship between number of citations and keywords used in title of articles, and was conducted in a cross-sectional design on eleven English-language journals published by Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
A total of 495 articles from these journals were searched in Google Scholar. The correlation between citations and keywords used in titles was found through Spearman correlation coefficient using SPSS.
Study results confirmed existence of a significant correlation between keywords used in titles of articles and the number of citations (P=0.009, r=0.117). There was also a significant correlation between the number of keywords specified to the article and the number of citations.
 According to the results, providing titles with appropriate structure and with main keywords of articles by authors can be effective in easy selection and examination of subject association of articles  by researchers, and in increasing citations of articles.

This study was conducted to investigate Feasibility of Resource Description and Access (RDA) implementation in manuscripts’ bibliographic records.
Paper type: This research is a practical (applicable research) The present research is based on the Research and Development based on documentary and the comparative approach. The findings prove that out of the identified elements in RDA, (chapter 1 to chapter 7) 33 elements are related to manuscripts. Thus, 77.88 percent of the elements in RDA correspond with the elements used in cataloguing of Astan Quds Razavi and only 12.12 percent does not correspond with them, which demonstrates a near relationship between the elements and rules related to cataloguing of manuscripts in Astan Quds Razavi and RDA. Moreover, out of 46 elements exist in cataloguing the manuscripts of Astan Quds Razavi, 63 percent is corresponded that not corresponded97.30 percent of this 37 percent mismatch is related to codicology, which proves that RDA has been weaker than the rules of Astan Quds Razavi to clarify the special features of the manuscripts.

Despite some differences, Islamic-Iranianmanuscriptshave special common out-of-text and within-text structures. These structures were followed by authors, scribes and transcription centers during centuries when transcription tradition was dominant throughout the Islamic world. In this article, these common features were considered in detail. Some manuscript folios preserved in National Library and Archive of the Islamic Republic of Iran (NLAI) were included for better clarification.

This article demonstrates how students experience reading in printed and electronic formats and what factors are involved in selecting reading materials. This study was performed by quality approach and interpreted with phenomenological method. Participated populations were M.A. students (17) of Kharazmi University. In order to gather information, non-structural interview was implemented and this process continued until data saturation. Data analysis was performed using ground theory followed by triangulation method. This analysis showed that cause factors (instrumental and value believes), field conditions (cognition and perception, access and comfort) and intervening condition (feeling) have basic rules in selecting reading formats. It was realized that these people used approaches based on subject and context value for selecting format and the results of these approaches were pleasure and behavior which will create for readers. This is the first study that makes an attempt to draw field model of lived experience, causal factors, field and intervening conditions of reading in printed and electronic format.

the current research aimed to compare the effectiveness of various tags and codes for retrieving images from the Google. Design/ selected images with different characteristics in a registered domain were carefully studied. The exception was that special conceptual features have been apportioned for each group of images separately. In this regard, each group image surrounding texts was dissimilar. Images were allocated with captions including language in Farsi and English, alt text, image title, file name, free and controlled languages and appropriation text to images properties. allocating texts to images on website causes Google retrieve more images. Chi-square test for difference of retrieved images in 5 Codes is significant and revealed that in different codes, significantly various numbers of images were retrieved. Caption allocation in English had the best effect in retrieving images in the study sample and file name had less effect in image retrieval ranking. image retrieval
