The purpose of this task is to identify both internal and external strategic factors for organizing book and non-book resources and to provide appropriate strategies based on the findings.

The research method was document study and survey. The research community included 10 experts from within the organization for brainstorming sessions and 40 experts from inside and outside the organization were purposefully selected to complete the questionnaire because of their experience and expertise. Data was collected through document-library study, brainstorming sessions, and researcher-made questionnaires and the data was examined with the help of a SWOT matrix.

The total score of internal factors was 3.5128 and external factors was 3.3886. The strengths of the book and non-book resource organization emphasize standardization and development of new organization tools for increasing quality and technological approach. Lack of attention to research achievements, technological limitations, quality challenges Standardization, and human resource problems are significant weaknesses. The governance position of the organization, access to up-to-date organizational tools, access to academic and organizational learning, legal deposit law, ease of use and user-friendliness of Rasa software; interaction and participation of users and beneficiaries of the organization are the most important opportunities. Budget, facilities, and technological Limitations, barriers to educational development, Poor users participating in organizing; the lack of an integrated strategy, issues and problems of experts' jobs, and ignoring the importance of organizing by senior management are the most important threats as part of our efforts to improve our services, we work closely with publishers and managers to implement new frameworks and formats. We also focus on organizing new types of resource formats and collaborating with scientific and research institutions. Additionally, we are developing tools and requirements for publishing bibliographic data in the semantic web, compiling ontologies, and migrating data to the linked data format. We continuously work on refining bibliographic data and Authority databases in Rasa software, and we give users the opportunity to participate in editing and correcting cataloging records. We have developed quality control guidelines and strengthened our National Organization Council and specialized committees. We aim to improve our governance position in the field of organization and continuously provide up-to-date training and development opportunities for our experts. We attend specialized conferences and events and pay close attention to human resources and working conditions. These are the important strategies we have proposed to improve our services even more.

Updating and improving methods of organization and tools to increase the dissemination and accessibility of data in the semantic web by creating linked data and developing ontologies, creating technology-related facilities and platforms for user participation and social organization, interaction with stakeholders such as users, scientific and specialized institutions, universities, etc. To synergize and share knowledge and facilities will develop the organization of the book and non-book resources. Development of expert training and conducting applied research and improving management will also increase the quality of this field. Finally, revitalizing and strengthening the National Organizing Council is an important strategy that can have an impact on the organizing in the organization and at the country level, with the NLAI as its center.

Identifying the challenges of transliteration of non-Persian names into Persian in the Journal of National Studies on Librarianship and Information Organization and its compliance with the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names. This study is applied in terms of objectives and qualitative research in terms of type, which was conducted using the content analysis method. The population included all non-Persian personal names from the 374 articles in the Journal of National Studies on Librarianship and Information Organization that have been studied during 2011-2019. In order to collect research data, firstly, all the non-Persian names used in the text of the articles of the journal along with their Persian equivalents were categorized and organized in the Excel application by period and year. A total of 5570 non-Persian names were retrieved, whose Persian equivalents were searched in the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names. From the total of 5570 recovered non-Persian names, 58 records were removed from the statistical population due to being Persian, non-Persian names not matching with Persian transliteration, and finally, the remaining 5512 records were analyzed. Among the 5512 non-Persian names retrieved from the articles of the journal and their correspondence with the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names, there were 3660 records in this bank, of which 2541 names (46.099%) correspond to the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names have been correctly transliterated and the Persian equivalent of 1119 non-Persian names (20.301 percent) was inconsistent with the Reference bank of Latin names. Among the 1119 recovered names whose Persian transliteration was inconsistent with the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names, there were cases that were transliterated in different ways each time. 16 non-Persian nouns are transliterated in 3-4 different ways. The most frequent names have been repeated 15 to 41 times, and in terms of nationality, Chinese and English nationalities have the highest number. The sources in the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names for transliteration of the largest number of names, i.e. 1156 names (58.31%), are 1) the book, the list, and 2) special sources of pronunciation of names, and the lowest number, i.e. 35 names (0.96%), is 1) the author/translator of the work, special sources of pronunciation of names, and 2) the documentary maker. The findings of the research show that more than half of the recovered names in the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names were read. According to the results of the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names, the NLAI has the authority to transliterate non-Persian names. According to the results of the current research, the following suggestions can be considered for further investigations:Trying to use a uniform transliteration of non-Persian names into Persian; determining the theoretical, clear, and precise framework for the transliteration policy; to provide an introduction for researchers in the use of non-Persian names by the NLAI as the custodian of the Reference Bank of Avanevesht of Latin Names for the identification and possibility of introducing and widely using this bank and solving possible problems and inadequacies of this bank.

The Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) is a widely used data model for sharing and linking knowledge organization systems on the web. It offers a cost-effective way to migrate existing knowledge organization systems to the Semantic Web. To integrate ASFA into the Semantic Web, the ASFA dataset needs to be converted and deployed as an RDF graph based on SKOS. To achieve this, the records in ASFA''''s Iran MARC format must be re-engineered. This study aims to re-engineer the ASFA dataset using data mining in the CRISP framework and deploy it on the open-source platform Skosmos. 

The study used the developmental-applied type of research and employed the CRISP-D.M. methodology, unsupervised type, and hierarchical clustering technique for data mining to start the project, we first needed to understand the business goal. This goal was to convert the ASFA dataset into the SKOS data model, creating an RDF graph. It was discovered that ASFA''''s heritage data comprises 1,880 records categorized into 18 fields, including education, literature, communication, economy, history, Sufism and mysticism, sociology, geography, law, psychology, linguistics, religion, political science, philosophy, technology, experimental science, librarianship and information, management, culture, and art. The data was prepared by identifying and correcting missing and outlier data and before starting the project, our team needed to fully comprehend the business''''s objective. The ultimate goal was to convert the ASFA dataset into the SKOS data model. This was done to better comprehend the business objective. Creating an RDF graph. The modeling stage utilized the hierarchical clustering technique macrocode in Excel to generate target feature values. The model was evaluated through a visual inspection technique and random sampling method. In the sixth step, Iran MARC data was converted to SKOS as an RDF graph using the SkosPlay tool, and the data was transferred to the Vocbench platform. ASFA Dataset was deployed on the Skosmos platform using the Turtle format.

The main finding of this study is the deployment and development of ASFA Dataset based on SKOS/RDF on the open source platform Skosmos at kosmos.nlai.ir. The total number of records increased to 11,880 records creating collection records for clustering. One of the important findings during the data preparation stage was the compilation of the mapping table between SKOS core elements and Iran MARC fields.

By integrating stages of methodologies used in the literature review within the CRISP framework, an innovative method was developed for converting thesauri into a lightweight ontology based on SKOS/RDF graph format.

Research shows that limited models can design to measure information overflow in libraries; but until now, no valid and reliable tool has been provided to measure information overload in academic libraries. Identifying the factors affecting the overload of information and its proper management in the libraries in question is of particular importance in improving their efficiency and effectiveness and the conclusion of their success and growth. The purpose of the current research the objective was to construct and validate a tool to determine the factors affecting information overflow in university libraries.
In the current research an action task was completed in two separate Segments. Qualitative (super composition and Delphi) and quantitative (survey-analytical). The studied population in the qualitative section was all related articles that were extracted from valid databases and after screening and considering the following. the input and output criteria, and finally, 20 Persian and Latin articles were selected and reviewed. The statistical population in the Delphi section included 20 professors and experts in the field of information and communication technologies and information flow in universities of medical sciences and health care services in Mazandaran province, who were selected in a targeted and accessible way. In the quantitative part, based on Cochran's formula, 375 users of medical science libraries and healthcare services in Mazandaran province were selected as a sample using the stratified verification method. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, and path analysis were used by Smart PLS statistical software.
Based on the findings of the meta-composite section, the number of 7 main components and their items (94 items) were extracted regarding the overflow of information, then it was submitted to the Delphi panel with 20 members for verification, and after three Delphi steps and making corrections and removing irrelevant items, reached a theoretical consensus with the value of Kendall's statistic of three Delphi stages, respectively 0.672, 0.713 and 0.721, and confirmatory factor analysis of 74 items of the information overflow questionnaire in 7 main components including creation with factor load (0.874), individual factors with factor load (0.863), effective factors on overflow control with factor load (0.877), environmental factors with factor load (0.902), adjustment solutions with factor load (0.698), the impact of overflow on users with factor load (0.863), technological infrastructures were identified with factor load (0.789). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the instrument has a good fit. The combined reliability of all factors was higher than 0.7. The positive and significant correlation of the rank of the questionnaire components indicated the convergent validity of the questionnaire.
The built tool provides researchers with the possibility of measuring information overflow. The discovered factors include the factors that cause. There were individual factors, factors affecting control, environmental factors, and strategies for adjusting the flow of information, which were measured in the pilot environment of Mazandaran Medical Sciences while confirming their effectiveness in the academic environment and medical sciences as the desired variable.

 Editorial Board Metrics (EBM) is used to determine the performance, effectiveness, and role of editorial board members and journal editors in policymaking and designing a roadmap for the future of journals. This study analyzed and evaluated indexed journals in health sciences, biological sciences, arts, and humanities using EBM.

 Social Network Analysis (SNA) was used to visualize the interconnections of editorial board members and journals. For this purpose, centrality indices were used, including degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality. Data analysis was performed in two descriptive and inferential sections for editorial board members (2813 individuals) and journals (200 journals) using statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, Kendall's Tau-b coefficient, Chi-square test, and software such as UCINET, SPSS, Net Draw, and Python.

 The research findings on the status of the impact factor of journals indicate that in the field of humanities and arts, the "Journal of Applied Issues in Islamic Education" with 1.095 has the highest impact factor. In the field of health sciences, "Iranian Journal of Ageing (Salmand)- Waiting List" with 0.446 has the highest impact factor, and in the field of biological sciences, "Plant Genetic Researches - Primary List" with 0.37 has the highest impact factor in each subject area. Some journals in the fields of humanities and arts have a high self-citation rate, including journals that have over 80% self-citation in the field of humanities and arts, such as "The Journal of Nahjolbalagheh" (77.80%) and "Journal of Kurdish Literature" and "Persian Language and Iranian Dialects" (100%). Ahad Faramarz Gharamaleki (Professor at the University of Tehran) and Mohammad Hassan Ghadrdan Gharamaleki (Professor at the Institute of Culture and Islamic Thought) have the highest level of interlocking (frequency 5). Of 368 individuals with co-authorship, 333 are male, and 35 are female. Regarding academic rank, the "Professor" with 71.76% and "the Associate Professor" with 15.48% have the highest share in the editorial board community.

 Of the 2,813 individuals who collaborated in 200 journals, 368 editorial board members had to interlock. The results indicate a significant negative relationship between the impact factor and the interlocking of the social science research journals and between the number of citations received by journals and their interlocking. Furthermore, there is a correlation between a rise in journal quartiles and a decrease in interlocking. According to the results, the number of journal quartiles is a significant negative predictor of interlocking. The Immediacy Index (II) of journals, the Median Impact Factor (MIF) in the macro subject, the number of articles, and the self-citation index are not significant predictors of interlocking. Considering the role of editorial board members in the development and quality improvement of journals through reviewing and selecting topics, the effort to form more diverse editorial boards with less interlocking will not only bring more diverse research output to the publishing world, deposit; which will create a positive competitive environment with a broader range of votes.

 The role of public libraries has changed and expanded compared to the past. Since the beginning of the new century, we have seen fundamental changes in the roles and services of public libraries, especially with emphasis on their social roles. Therefore, considering the expansion of the range of services of these libraries and their impact on society, this research aims to identify and analyze the community roles of public libraries.

 This research is practical in terms of its purpose, and the nature of the data is a qualitative type, performed with the systematic review technique and the application of the four-stage model of Okoli and Shabram (2010). To select the articles correctly in the second stage of the mentioned model, the process of selecting the articles of Silva (2015) was used. The statistical population was the texts were published in the Persian language between 1381 and 1401, and in English between 2002 and 2022. After searching the databases and retrieving 1819 articles, the articles were cleaned and screened. Finally, 201 articles related to the social roles of public libraries were selected.

 Studies related to the social roles of public libraries in the country, despite their importance, are nascent and have only been paid attention to in the last decade, so the lack of research in this field is evident. But this research abroad has met with more success among researchers, they have had a long history and much research has been carried out. The findings showed that public libraries have seven roles including 1. Promoting social justice, 2. Developing social capital, 3. Increasing social participation, 4. Promoting social resilience, 5. Community building, 6. Managing natural crises, and 7. Reducing deprivations and injuries. Social, they play in the community.

  The primary condition for success in fulfilling these roles is a complete and comprehensive understanding of the position of public libraries in the local social network. To achieve this goal, public libraries need to be aware of their societal conditions above all. By organizing activities that lead to creating a space for meeting, developing personal relationships, and communicating with members and different strata of society, public libraries present their new community roles and strengthen the position of the library as a reliable institution worthy of trust at the community level. They help by performing the roles mentioned in this research, public libraries can contribute to social development and be a positive factor in the change and evolution of society. In this way, libraries and their facilities, activities, and programs must take steps in line with the social, cultural, political, and economic needs of the communities to become a part of the community in the real sense. Therefore, they should play their role in this field and overcome the difficulties, with comprehensive measures and proper awareness and knowledge enhancement of the audience, as well as the use of human and educational resources to improve the quality of the citizens 'lives.
