The purpose of this study is meta-synthesis the communication skills (verbal, non-verbal and interpersonal) and information (software, hardware, network, communication technology) of librarians to improve public library services.

To achieve the purpose of the research, the combined method, which includes the simultaneous use of meta- Synthesis technique and content analysis, Delphi technique, structural validity and modeling has been used. The statistical population consisted of 327 librarians in Khuzestan province in 1398. By proportional attribution sampling method, 175 people were selected and 129 concepts in the field of information skills and 95 concepts in the field of communication skills were selected and then these concepts were implemented by implementing three stages of Delphi technique with reliability. 0.97 and validity (0.90) has been obtained

The descriptive findings of the study showed that the means of communication skills and information skills are equal to 0.98 and 0.86, respectively, at the desired and relatively desirable levels. In this study, the role of three variables of gender, age group, educational status among librarians was discussed and it was found that among these factors, "information and communication skills" among different libraries and educational status, respectively, according to the level of significance /042 and 0.34.

The situation of information and communication skills of librarians in public libraries of Ahvaz province is at a relatively good level. Courses and workshops should be held for better knowledge of information and communication skills and the ability to learn to work with information and communication software to improve librarians' skills.

The library is traditionally a repository of information, a place where information seekers come to find answers to their questions. Due to the development of digital libraries and the lack of comprehensive and up-to-date research and laws in this field and the preservation of copyright in works, this article identified and ranked solutions to improve the intellectual property status of digital libraries.

The research method is applied in terms of purpose, in terms of the work process is a descriptive field research. The statistical population of digital library experts and lawyers was familiar with the subject and 30 people were purposefully selected as a sample. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, the validity of which was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha of 0.77. T-test and Friedman test were used for data analysis and SPSS software version 25 was used for statistical analysis. 

The research findings showed that software and hardware infrastructures with average rank (44.34), specialized manpower (35.77), copyright law (30.98), maintenance Intellectual property of the author (29.76), attracting financial resources (24.54), development of electronic publications (22.34), database security (21.54), culture of using libraries (19.80), conservation of resources Information (15/21) and interaction between users and library staff (12/54) were ranked first to tenth.

Digital libraries with the facilities they provide create a favorable environment for the cycle of science in society, which today is considered more important than the production of science, and this has a great impact on the promotion of science. Therefore, the use of management mechanisms, human resource development mechanisms, legal mechanisms, content mechanism and service delivery can play an important role in the development of such libraries.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the role of libraries in society and implement the process of sustainable development, clarify the role of university libraries and evaluate them based on components, green library indicators and lead standards and provide strategies to them. 

The present study was conducted using the library methods and literature review.

The research findings showed that in order to have a green university library, this issue should first be considered by the society and the government, and in order to implement it, it should start by promoting green thinking and culture in the society. Because many of our problems in this area are rooted in culture and misuse of natural and non-renewable resources. University libraries have a great role to play in this regard due to their mission in teaching culture and creating a global civilization.

To have a university green library, you do not necessarily have to start with a green building, but these libraries have green missions. Optimal use of water and non-renewable energy, use of recycling methods and waste management are known as green libraries.
