Samodzielne przemieszczanie się jest jednym z przejawów autonomii, ważnej m.in. dla samopoczucia czy przekonania o własnej sprawczości danej jednostki. Pytanie, czy kreujemy rzeczywistość, nadal pozostaje otwarte, ale niewątpliwy jest fakt, że działamy w pewnej interakcji ze środowiskiem, a przy użyciu technologii chcemy doświadczenie obecności w świecie rozszerzać i modyfikować, co zresztą dzieje się nieuchronnie. Celem tekstu jest próba eksploracji dostępnych sposobów odnajdywania się w przestrzeni osób z niepełnosprawnością wzroku i przywołanie refleksji na ten temat. W artykule przedstawiona zostanie definicja wirtualnej rzeczywistości (VR), a także koncept echolokacji. Autorka tekstu podejmuje również próbę opisania relacji między osobą z niepełnosprawnością a środowiskiem postrzeganym przestrzennie z uwzględnieniem tego, jak środowisko VR może wpływać na umiejętności postrzegania informacji przestrzennych i odnajdywania się w otoczeniu.

El estudio de los manuales escolares ha experimentado un enorme crecimiento durante las últimas décadas. La descripción bibliográfica sobre manuales escolares relativos al ámbito religioso nos ofrece una línea de trabajo novedosa en la que son muy escasos los estudios existentes hasta la fecha. En este sentido, el artículo realiza una descripción bibliográfica de publicaciones que abordan el análisis de los manuales escolares en el ámbito religioso. En total, se ha accedido a una muestra de 31 publicaciones. Los resultados exponen los temas más tratados, las religiones más proclives a su desarrollo e implementación, la diversidad temática que engloban y la ideología que transmiten.

La investigación que se exhibe a continuación sobre segmentación multivariante del personal en las bibliotecas públicas del estado de Veracruz, México, presenta un diagnóstico basado en una muestra de 162 bibliotecarias y bibliotecarios. El objetivo fue conformar grupos bien delimitados para realizar una eventual capacitación en promoción de la lectura. Fueron consideradas sus prácticas lectoescritoras, su experiencia en proyectos de promoción de la lectura, su formación académica para el desempeño de sus actividades y sus opiniones sobre la función social de la biblioteca pública. Asimismo, tomamos en cuenta el rezago social del lugar donde las bibliotecas estaban ubicadas. Los datos fueron recabados a través de un cuestionario; se analizaron con una exploración univariante y mediante la aplicación de un análisis multivariante conjunto de correspondencia múltiple y clústeres. A partir de los resultados logró determinarse la configuración de tres grupos bien diferenciados, lo que proporcionó un conocimiento importante de este sector para la capacitación en la promoción de la lectura. Esta información puede utilizarse para diseñar un plan de mejora de los entornos bibliotecarios.

Este artículo analiza las prácticas de ciencia abierta predominantes en las instituciones y a las que más recurren los investigadores humanísticos colombianos, partiendo de la premisa de que esta forma de hacer ciencia se enmarca en la idea del conocimiento como bien común. Diseñamos un cuestionario que respondieron 173 investigadores del área de las humanidades; los resultados destacan que las prácticas de participación abierta más usadas por los diferentes actores sociales son: el intercambio y la cocreación entre los investigadores y la ciudadanía para el desarrollo de proyectos de investigación (46 %) y el reconocimiento de la participación y aportes de estos actores en los resultados de las investigaciones (44 %). En el diálogo abierto con otros sistemas de conocimiento puede observarse una valoración de los saberes ancestrales y tradicionales de comunidades indígenas, negras, afrocolombianas, raizales, palenqueras, rom, campesinas y locales (40 %), así como de sus sistemas de conocimiento (30 %). También, no se percibieron obstáculos para la implementación de la ciencia abierta. Como conclusión destacamos el fortalecimiento de competencias en este grupo de investigadores para un uso mucho más situado e intencionado de las tecnologías, guiadas por principios de apertura del conocimiento, colaboración e inclusión.

El artículo surge de una investigación más amplia para explicar que las políticas de tipo jurídico federal en transparencia, es decir, el acceso a la información pública gubernamental en México, pueden darse cuando son acompañadas por las políticas de archivo con el fin de responder ante la necesidad de información. Los métodos empleados fueron de tipo cuantitativo y cualitativo: el primero ayudó a obtener datos, mientras que el segundo permitió recuperar las características de lo estudiado en diecisiete dependencias del Gobierno Federal Centralizado mexicano, que corresponden a las Secretarías de Estado. Las técnicas empleadas fueron encuesta en línea y entrevista a partir de una guía de preguntas, mientras que el envío y recepción de respuestas fue a través de la Plataforma Nacional de Transparencia (PNT). El periodo analizado fue de 2002 a 2015, el cual constituye un parteaguas en la política pública al visibilizar la actividad gubernamental a la ciudadanía. Tal suceso generó que las políticas en archivos se dedicaran a la elaboración del Cuadro General de Clasificación Archivística (CGCA) y del Catálogo de Disposición Documental (CADIDO) paulatinamente. Sin embargo, en los primeros años, la transparencia y el acceso a la información no fueron posibles debido al desconocimiento en torno al uso y la utilidad de estos instrumentos. Parte de la conclusión es que deben llevarse a cabo directrices de coordinación adecuadas con los actores involucrados.

Este artículo releva el estado actual de la producción científica de la IA en México con técnicas bibliométricas. Considera la especialización de la IA en seis subcampos. Como metodología, emplea los metadatos de 13 265 publicaciones, recolectados del catálogo bibliográfico OpenAlex y realiza un análisis cuantitativo de productividad con base en métricas de publicaciones, autores, citas y colaboraciones internacionales, e identifica sus principales temas de investigación y su desarrollo. Los resultados muestran una estructura científica local extensa con importantes colaboraciones internacionales. Se identifican tanto subcampos maduros, desarrollados desde hace tres décadas, que abarcan la robótica y las redes neuronales; como subcampos emergentes, desarrollados en los últimos cinco años, que comprenden el aprendizaje automático, el procesamiento del lenguaje natural y la visión por computadora. El artículo distingue aplicaciones recientes en las áreas de salud, medio ambiente, finanzas, procesamiento del lenguaje natural y acústica.

El objetivo de este trabajo es señalar el potencial de considerar a las imágenes del patrimonio cultural como objetos digitales desde la perspectiva de la polirrepresentación de la información, a través del estudio del proyecto Europeana Image Classification Pilot. El enfoque metodológico fue exploratorio-descriptivo y cualitativo de los temas concernientes al objetivo y posteriormente analizados en el proyecto de Europeana. Los resultados resaltan que, al ser tratadas como objetos digitales desde una perspectiva de la polirrepresentación, las imágenes digitales del patrimonio cultural pueden representarse con diferentes configuraciones dependiendo del contexto, bajo un carácter modular y granular que brinda las condiciones para que tales imágenes sean interpretadas en distintos niveles de interacción.

Este estudio se centra en el análisis y la conservación del documento histórico “Registros de Oficios do Governo da Paraíba ao Congresso, El Rey Príncipe Real e Ministro do Estado” de 1822, destacando su importancia para la memoria e identidad cultural. A través de una metodología cualitativa adaptada del Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), la investigación detalla una intervención de conservación en el acervo de la Biblioteca Irineu Pinto del Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Paraibano (IHGP), situado en la ciudad de João Pessoa - Paraíba, Brasil. Mediante un diagnóstico preciso, se identificaron los daños y se definieron las técnicas de tratamiento, subrayando la importancia de la conservación preventiva y la restauración en la preservación de los documentos para su uso en el futuro. El trabajo resalta la evolución de las prácticas de preservación en Brasil y la necesidad de políticas formales de conservación. Así, el estudio aporta valiosas reflexiones para los gestores de colecciones y promueve la implementación de soluciones técnicas adecuadas y sostenibles para la protección del patrimonio documental bibliográfico.

La Iglesia católica fue la institución más influyente del Imperio español, puesto que la religión permeó todas las instituciones modelando el carácter y vida de todos sus habitantes con la finalidad de formar buenos súbditos del rey a través de la educación y el culto. El objetivo principal del estudio es explicar la presencia y el uso de los libros litúrgicos y paralitúrgicos dentro del Real Seminario de Minería de la Nueva España como parte de la formación cívica y moral de los futuros peritos de minas, a través de documentación resguardada en el Palacio de Minería. La metodología es meramente histórica bibliográfica y recurro a fuentes primarias y aspectos teóricos de la liturgia para interpretar los datos apropiadamente. Como resultado se demostró que, a pesar de tratarse de una institución científica de corte ilustrado, la religión también penetró en el Real Seminario Metálico a través de dicho repertorio bibliográfico, constituido por libros presentes en todas las instituciones novohispanas y los cuales es imprescindible conocer, ya que pueden encontrarse en nuestras bibliotecas con fondos históricos.

The digital divide, in my view, is not only created due to the lack of local contents but also due to the fact that few digital contents from local sources are found in the digital libraries of higher education in Ethiopia. Likewise, the creation and dissemination of local contents could be facilitated not only by the presence of local digital contents but also by the presence of usable digital technology at a local level. This article aims to give a practical solution to bridging the digital divide by unlocking local heritage knowledge through creating digital contents from locally grown literary heritage as well as by developing a localised digital library system. Therefore, this article presents the research processes and results that were undertaken to unlock local heritage knowledge and developed the localised digital library system: customising a free and open-source software; digitising and translating the local literary heritage contents; and building the digitised and translated literary heritage contents into the localised digital libraries, which Greenstone digital library software was used to customise into local use. The English version of the Greenstone user interface (macro files) was translated into the Tigrinya language, one of the locally spoken languages in Ethiopia. For translation purposes, a list of suitable and compatible Tigrinya words and phrases that basically fit with the meaning of the English version of the Greenstone spreadsheet was developed. As a result of this translation work, the Tigrinya language interface has become one of the languages that are included in Greenstone digital library software version 2.83 for the first time (Language short name=ti “long name=ትግርኛ (Tigrinya)” default encoding=utf-8). To unlock the heritage knowledge and build the localised digital library with local digital collections, a sample of Ethiopia’s ancient Ge’ez parchment manuscripts were digitised and translated into Tigrinya and English languages. To facilitate the retrieval of information and to be easily recognised by internet search engines in the Tigrinya language, a local specific metadata standard for Ethiopia’s ancient Ge’ez parchment manuscripts was developed at three hierarchical levels, at manuscript level, at chapter level and at page level, with each translated page tagged using HTML. To facilitate the link between the translated text and the corresponding digital image, an “item” file was created using a WordPad. As a result, three collections were built into the customised digital library: the digitised image of the Abushakir manuscript as well as the Tigrinya and English translated texts of the same manuscripts. The functionality and usability of the localised digital system was tested by searching keywords and browsing titles from the built collection of the Tigrinya text and the original digital image of the manuscript. The result of this test shows that the localised digital library system is capable of allowing end-users to discover the information they want at the granular level from digital content of the local literary heritage. Therefore, further manuscript collection through digitisation, translating into local language and building the digitised collection into this localised digital library system is necessary for wider access to the local literary heritage digital content and for bridging the digital divide in the long-term.

The paper presents a study of library and information science students’ perceptions and experiences related to the use of telepresence robots (TPRs) in libraries, with a specific focus on students assuming the role of library consultants. The study explores the innovative application of TPRs, such as Double, Ohmni and Temi, within library settings. The findings of the research reveal a positive perception of TPRs, emphasising their potential for fostering innovation, increasing engagement, providing flexibility and overcoming geographical constraints. The study also identifies distinct advantages of TPRs, including remote accessibility, enhanced communication, flexibility, a personalised user experience and cost savings. However, concurrent challenges, such as limitations in nonverbal communication, pointing accuracy, connectivity issues, space requirements, costs, safety, security concerns and varying levels of user acceptance emerge as crucial areas for refinement. While the results may not be generalisable due to the limited sample size, the study underscores the transformative potential of TPRs in libraries and the necessity of addressing these challenges to optimise their application. Further research, technological advancements and user feedback can help refine and optimise the use of TPRs in libraries to provide innovative and accessible assistance.

The sugar industry is the dominant agricultural sector in Swaziland’s economy, contributing significantly to the gross domestic product. Provision of relevant and timely information to smallholder sugarcane farmers is crucial for them to have a competitive footing with large-scale counterparts and reduce poverty. However, there is limited literature on the information needs and the kind of information communication resources that could make the dissemination of information to farmers efficient and effective. This study thus aims to investigate the information needs and resources of smallholder sugarcane farmers in Swaziland to inform the provision of information services in the sugar industry. It was underpinned by a positivist paradigm and used the survey research method complemented by methodological triangulation to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Data was collected using survey questionnaires and face-to-face interviews, with 168 responses and six interviews conducted. The findings revealed that 71 % of information needs of farmers were primarily in legislative compliance, sugarcane crop husbandry, markets and transport, and financial advice information, however, there were no statistically significant differences between the three mill groups in information needs. The smallholder sugarcane farmers also mostly obtained agricultural information through extension officers, farmer groups, and mobile phones, indicating that required information was mainly accessed through face-to-face interactions. The empirical findings of the study have implications for practice, policy, and theory with respect to guiding the implementation of agricultural information services by information providers in the context of rural farmers in developing countries.

The advent of digitalization has been hailed as a remedy to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, it has also brought to light the existence of a digital divide, exacerbating the hardships faced by those who are digitally excluded. Amidst the turmoil of the crisis, there has been limited attention given to addressing the digital divide in developing countries including Malaysia. In response, Malaysian universities swiftly transitioned to online learning to curb the spread of the contagion. Nonetheless, this rapid shift has inadvertently marginalized underprivileged students, hindering their access to the benefits of online education. Employing the three-level digital divide framework, this study aims to probe into the extent of the digital divide among Malaysian university students and evaluate its progression. Through mean score and frequency analyses, we assessed the magnitude of the digital divide among these students. Furthermore, we employed partial least squares structural equation modeling to gauge the flow of the digital divide from the initial level to the third level. Subsequently, we examined the mediating roles of material access, digital skills, and digital usage. The findings revealed that the digital divide persists across all three levels among university students in Malaysia. The path analysis lends support to all proposed hypotheses, with the exception of digital usage as a predictor of student satisfaction and as a mediator.

The importance and urgency of IPLE (intellectual property literacy education) are increasingly prominent. This paper aims to build an IPLE mode to provide support for the talent cultivation in university libraries facing opportunities and challenges in the service transformation period. The IPLE mode and content of the Regional Patent Information Centers (PIZ Regional Centers) in German universities and university libraries are studied through network research, literature research, and comparative analysis. Based on the practical experience, educational characteristics and advantages, this paper constructs an IPLE mode of university library that includes six modules. Building the IPLE mode of university libraries can provide reference for university libraries in the work of IPLE, and gradually form an IPLE system that meets the needs of users’ training, conforms to the university’s talent training objectives, and improves the development plan of the university libraries.

Gamification has emerged as an engaging approach to motivate participation and enhance experiences in diverse contexts. This study aimed to identify potential applications of gamification for attracting audiences to public libraries. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with gamification experts, using purposive and snowball sampling, with thematic analysis revealing 16 main themes and 56 sub-themes. Our results show the potential of gamification to increase reading rates, help organize interesting events/challenges, and improve interactivity, the book lending process, library appeals, program awareness, user experience, educational activities, brand loyalty, participatory/volunteer activities, patron guidance, book searching, resource returns, marketing, and scientific/economic outputs in public libraries. This study highlights the fundamental and influential role of gamification in advancing public libraries and improving services in libraries. A dedicated gamification platform and system could enable libraries to engage librarian visitors, with further research needed to continue building knowledge in this emerging area.

Intelligent recommender systems provide personalized recommendation for users based on their behavior trajectories. Intelligent recommendation is a double-edged sword with increasing impacts. This study investigates the influencing mechanism of social media users’ satisfaction with behavior trajectory security protection in the context of intelligent recommendation, with the aim of promoting healthy development of mobile social media. This study applied the grounded theory method to identify relations among concepts and categories in terms of three-level coding. During open coding, 271 initial concepts and 26 subcategories were elicited; during axial coding, 10 categories were elicited; and during selective coding, relations among categories were identified and a theoretical model was developed. The results indicate that satisfaction with behavior trajectory security protection is directly influenced by security protection information quality, security protection system quality, security protection service quality, net benefits, external support, privacy concerns, and privacy cognitive biases. Privacy literacy has direct impacts on privacy concerns and privacy cognitive biases. Meanwhile, herd behavior directly impacts privacy concerns. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

This study utilizes the digital archives of the “Taiwan Sitai,” led by the leftist movement leader Tso Hsiung. The database comprises 498 documents totaling 2.29 million words, including magazines, internal newsletters, and member correspondence, spanning from 1970 to 2018. Through advanced natural language processing techniques such as named entity recognition (NER) and keyword extraction (key terms), we analyzed the social network dynamics among members. The findings are illustrated with dynamic data visualizations that provide comprehensive network graphs, capturing diverse relationships and facets. Such visualizations serve as convenient tools to assist qualitative and quantitative research in social sciences.

This research aims to investigate the impact of integrating reading comprehension strategies into mathematics teaching for third-grade elementary school students on their learning motivation and learning outcomes. The research adopts a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The targets of teaching are 18 third-grade students from an elementary school in Nantou County who participated in an 8-week teaching experiment. The research tools include the "Mathematics Learning Motivation Scale," the "Mathematics Learning Attitude Scale," and the "Mathematics Test Paper." Paired sample t-tests are conducted on pre- and post-teaching test scores to explore whether integrating reading comprehension strategies into teaching has a significant impact on students' learning motivation and learning outcomes. The results show that integrating reading strategies into mathematics teaching enhances both learning motivation and learning outcomes, reaching statistical significance. Moreover, students' preference for integrating reading strategies into mathematics teaching is higher than for traditional teaching methods.

The goal of archival appraisal is to assist archives in selecting and preserving information of permanent value in accordance with established principles, to efficiently enhance archival management and maximize the value of archives. Archival appraisal is an important procedure for the construction of archives collections. This study utilizes content analysis. First, it constructs an indicator classification framework based on research papers related to archival value issues. Subsequently, it examines the archival appraisal policies of six countries, namely the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia, and New Zealand. It analyzes the emphasis on archival value and policy characteristics in these six countries and summarizes core indicators used in archival appraisal. These findings serve as a reference for the archival practice field to improve archival appraisal operations and archival selection competencies for administrative agencies.

Since 2008, the National Chengchi University Libraries have been actively collecting historical materials on the modern and contemporary history of Taiwan and China in line with the development of the university's research fields. In addition to collecting the physical originals of in-depth research resources, there is also digitization and database construction. On the premise that the originals will not be destroyed, digital value-added versions of the school's special collections will be constructed to provide more opportunities for academic researchers or the general public to use the content. In August 2019, the Sú Bîng Education Foundation donated Mr. Sú Bîng’s historical materials to the Libraries and signed a donation memorandum as a cooperation aimed at supporting teaching and research. The Special Collections Management Group implements the three-year “The Preservation Digitization Project of Sú Bîng's Archival Materials.” In addition to ensuring the preservation and status of historical materials, digital archive is also used to reduce the risk of data damage and improve the capacity of cultural protection and data use.

IntroductionThe situation of university libraries in Iran shows that due to the existence of a gap between strategy development and implementation, these organizations have not achieved much success in implementing their strategies, and there is a fear that the developed strategy, like the strategic plans of most organizations, will remain theoretical or its implementation will be postponed. Therefore, in the current research, it was decided to first examine the strategic plans that have been developed and implemented by the world's top academic libraries based on the Times ranking, and based on that and relying on the specific conditions of the country, a strategic plan for Iranian academic libraries will be developed. The current research sought to provide a simple and practical framework for the custodians, practitioners, and those interested in Iranian university libraries, so that based on this framework, they can provide a road map for activities and practical actions in libraries. It is expected that this research will be the starting point for the formulation of comprehensive and large national programs that will help to improve reading and study as well as the development of reading culture in the society. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the strategic plan of academic libraries in the world and to present a proposed model for Iranian academic libraries. Literature ReviewA review of the conducted researches shows that the ever-increasing complexity of activities and continuous changes in organizations have made managers face new challenges that neglecting them will lead to irreparable consequences. Surveys indicate that the existence of a strategic plan helps to improve the performance of libraries and defines the direction of the organization and can provide a clear understanding of the performance of the library to the authorities and the user community. Investigations show that various researches have been conducted on the presentation of strategic plans, and on the other hand, the review of previous researches indicates that a large percentage of the proposed programs were only suggested and not implemented. This reason led to the present research, in order to provide a strategic plan for university libraries in Iran by using the strategic plans of the best university libraries in the world. Outside of Iran, many studies have been done to develop a strategic plan for libraries. Most of the mentioned researches have presented the findings obtained from the formulation or implementation of a strategic plan at the micro and macro levels of the activities of a university library. Methodology The current research is practical in terms of its purpose and it is hybrid in terms of method. In the current research, library, Delphi, and descriptive survey methods have been used. In this research, three questions have been raised, and to answer them, special tools related to each have been used. In response to the first question of the research regarding the identification of university libraries that have a strategic plan, first by referring to the website of the studied university library, if they have a strategic plan, the plan was extracted and stored, and if there was no section on the website under the title of the management plan. Ask me through the department or ask the librarian about the strategic plan of the library, and if no answer was received from this department, in the last step, the public relations manager or the director of public services of the library followed up on the strategic plan of the library and whether it was or not. The strategic plan was determined. In order to answer the second question of the research, which sought to identify the main criteria in the strategic plan of university libraries, the libraries that had a strategic plan were identified in the first stage, and in the second stage, their plans were analyzed and evaluated, and the principles of each of the plans were extracted. According to the reliability standard law, if the principle was common in at least 70% of the strategic plans, it is chosen as the principle of the strategic plan. To answer the third question of the research, after extracting the principles of the strategic plan of the library, a list consisting of various principles that are important in presenting the strategic plan (based on the main criteria of the strategic plan of the world's university libraries) was prepared. Then, with the Delphi method, the list was provided to 14 experts in the field of information science and epistemology and university libraries in Iran who had the experience of managing university libraries. In the last stage, according to the obtained results, a model for a strategic plan in Iranian university libraries was presented. The research community for identifying the strategic plan of the world's university libraries included the libraries of twenty-five top universities based on the Times ranking in 2020-2021. In the Times ranking system, educational, research, welfare, cultural and service criteria are emphasized, so they were chosen as the research ranking system. Results The results of the research showed that all the studied university libraries have a written strategic plan, but the strategic plan of 4 university libraries of Yale, Pennsylvania, London School of Economics and University of Washington is not up to date and out of date. Also, according to the investigations, the strategic plan of two university libraries, Stanford and Massachusetts, does not have a time frame. But most of the strategic plans developed for a period of 2 to 5 years have been presented. A brief look at the structure and content of the strategic plan of the world's academic libraries shows that the emphasis on the introduction section, necessary actions, implementation schedule and the mission of the library is more important than other components. The result of the analysis carried out in the current research; the strategic model of Iranian academic libraries is as follows. The proposed strategic model for Iranian academic libraries should include introduction, summary, mission, goal, vision, planning and implementation. Discussion In this research, the strategic plan of 25 university libraries ranked 1 to 25 in the Times ranking was examined and evaluated. According to the surveys, all 25 university libraries had a written strategic plan, which shows the importance of having a strategic plan for university libraries. The studied university libraries had a section entitled About Us on their home page, which was part of the strategic plan. In the survey that was conducted, strategic plans were presented in three ways. The first picture is that the different parts of the strategic plan were presented in a list form and by clicking on each part, the related information was provided. The second form was that a brief introduction of the strategic plan was placed on the site and the link to download the strategic plan was next. And the third form was that the strategic plan was fully presented in this section. In some university libraries, the presented program was complete and comprehensive with all the necessary details mentioned, and in others, the program was presented in a brief form, and finally, a model was designed for the program. The noteworthy point in the strategic plans of university libraries was the importance of the university to the strategic plan of the library, in several cases of the investigated libraries, the strategic plan of the library was presented as a part of the strategic plan of the university. Also, according to the surveys, most of the strategic plans had a time frame and their goal was to focus on the time frame of 3 to 5 years. The existence of a short period of time indicates continuous changes in organizations and the need to review and update the strategic plan. Considering the rapid scientific progress and the need to change university policies, updating the strategic plan is very important for the university library, and libraries should always have short-term, medium-term, and long-term plans to achieve great goals. ConclusionAccording to the research conducted on the strategic plan of university libraries, in most of the strategic plans, the introduction section of the library, necessary measures to carry out the strategic plan, the schedule of the implementation of the strategic plan and the missions of the library were present, and this shows the importance of the mentioned items. The purpose of the strategic plan is to provide a better vision of the library and plan it for a better future. Therefore, the existence of the library introduction section, which includes a brief introduction of the university, introduction of the library, history of the library, number of library resources, different sections of the library, library facilities, locational and physical condition of the library, and information of this kind, is very important and almost in most programs. The subject of this section was to provide information in summary or complete form. The next thing that is very important in the presentation of the strategic plan is the necessary measures to achieve the goals of the library during the strategic plan. In this section, all the activities that the library must do according to the strategic plan to achieve its ultimate goal are presented. Most of the investigated libraries were very careful about this issue, and in some programs, the actions were divided by library departments or by library goals, and the indicators of their achievement were provided. The third part that is very important in the strategic plan is the discussion of the implementation schedule. Due to the rapid growth of science and the change of programs and the change of the scientific course of the country, it is very important to pay attention to the schedule, the strategic plan should be up-to-date and adjusted according to the needs of the society at the present time. Also, the strategic plan should be evaluated at certain time intervals and if there is a weakness or problem, it should be fixed. Another part that was important in the strategic plans was the discussion of the library's missions. The clarity of the missions facing the library helps to define the framework of the strategic plan, and the strategic plan is set based on the missions of the university library.

IntroductionWith the tremendous growth of the Internet from the 1990s to the present, a variety of innovative technologies have emerged that enable users to interact virtually. Metaverse is one of the technologies that has attracted attention. In fact, it is a new technology brought about by augmented and virtual reality, which integrates new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, blockchain, and virtual reality. In Metaverse, users are able to communicate with each other in virtual space instead of physical communication. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to identify the development barriers of Metaverse in digital libraries.Research Question(s)What are the causal conditions for identifying metaverse development obstacles in digital libraries?What are the background conditions affecting the identification of metaverse development obstacles in digital libraries?What are the intervening conditions in identifying the development obstacles of metaverse in digital libraries?What are the strategies to identify the development obstacles of metaverse in digital libraries?What are the consequences of identifying the development barriers of metaverse in digital libraries?Literature ReviewMetaverse is a combination of two words, Meta+ Universe. Each of these two words has different meanings. The word meta is derived from the Greek root "beyond" and verse is derived from the word "universe" meaning "world". As a result, the word metaverse means a world beyond the real world. Metaverse is a virtual world where users can experience all the activities they have in the real world in the virtual world. Many experts in this field believe that the further development of Metaverse will not affect the daily lives of companies and people, but its impact on culture and society, in general, is undeniable (Yufu. et.al, 2023؛ Mohammad Hasan, 2023(. Since 1999, the growth of information technology has transformed the future of information systems (Arshad, Ameen, 2019). Hence, information technology increases the speed of operations and reduces costs and ultimately has made a major difference in how libraries do things (Thimm, 2017). As organizations that store and retrieve information, libraries are voluntarily or involuntarily influenced by new technologies. In recent years, smart libraries have been created with the growth of technology from terms such as digital, virtual, and electronic libraries (Gul and Bano, 2019). One of the types of libraries that can be imagined in the field of virtual reality or metaverse is digital libraries. It is a new type of traditional library in which time and place do not matter and users who have the necessary information are given the opportunity to find the resources they need in any situation (Rahmani, 2022(.MethodologyThe current research is qualitative in terms of purpose and implementation method. The approach considered in the present research is based on the basic theory, which is a method utilized in qualitative research according to inductive methods. For this purpose, it starts with sampling, data collection, and at the same time coding and data analysis. Data analysis is done based on open-source, central, and selective sources, which will continue until theoretical saturation. In the present study, the steps of work are as follows. First, sampling was done from among the research population, followed by formulating interview questions, collecting information, coding and analyzing data, open coding, and selective focus, and the conceptual model was formulated based on answers to the research questions. In the present study, the statistical population included 10 university specialists who were selected by purposive sampling. The sample size was calculated based on the theoretical saturation principle. In fact, the researchers did not identify any barriers to the interview after holding the interview, so two other interviews were held. The inclusion criteria of selected specialists were membership in educational and academic institutions, fields of study being related to digital libraries and Metaverse (information science and epistemology, computer, architecture), having books and articles related to the current research field, and interest in participating in interviews. Due to the closure of educational and academic institutions in the summer, most of the interviews were held by phone. The research tool was semi-structured interviews in the field of developing Metaverse libraries in digital domains. Open, central and selective coding method based on grounded theory was used to analyze the data. "user understanding", "heady library", "economic status", "technology literacy level", "cultures and values", "background and experience", "user needs". Intervening conditions include "limited resources", "high speed of change", "uncertainty in the future of the Metaverse", "human factors". Strategies include "education and awareness", "collaboration with technology companies", "development of technology infrastructure", and "research and development" and messages include "access to information", "non-compliance with standards", "security and privacy risks", "non-acceptance by users".ResultsThe findings of the research show that there are 53 central themes in the form of causal conditions as follows. "Existence of a problem or issues involved", "individual factors", "organizational, managerial", "technology", "political", "social", "institutional"; terms of the fields include "technology development", "user understanding", "heady library", "economic status", "technology literacy level", "cultures and values", "background and experience", "user needs". Intervening conditions include "limited resources", "high speed of change", "uncertainty in the future of the Metaverse", and "human factors". Strategies include "education and awareness", "collaboration with technology companies", "development of technology infrastructure", "research and development" and messages include "access to information", "non-compliance with standards", "security and privacy risks", and "non-acceptance by users".DiscussionIn explaining the result, it can be said that according to the codes extracted from the interviews, the causal conditions involve individual, organizational, managerial, political, institutional, social and other factors that create a barrier in the formation of Metaverse in digital libraries. In addition to the causal conditions, intervening and contextual factors were also considered and investigated. In the intervening factors, those factors such as limited resources, high speed of technological change, uncertainty in the future of Metaverse, and human factors were identified. Moreover, contextual factors including users' understanding, economic status, technology literacy level, cultures and values, background and experience, and users' needs were identified. Therefore, according to the abovementioned obstacles, the strategies of education and awareness, cooperation with technology companies, development of technology infrastructure, and finally research and development were extracted. The strategies show both positive and negative reactions of the emerging Metaverse phenomenon on digital libraries. Finally, the consequences of Metaverse in digital libraries include lack of access to Metaverse and its development, reducing access to information, non-compliance with standards, security and privacy risks, non-acceptance by users, which result from strategies.ConclusionBased on the results, it can be said that there are various obstacles in the development of Metaverse. When these obstacles are identified and the necessary solutions are provided to solve them, it can be said that libraries will have new opportunities to provide services to their users with the development of Metaverse. By thinking creatively about how to use this technology, libraries can become valuable educational and social platforms.

Introduction In today's societies, extensive and rapid developments in the world of technology increasingly account for information, which is considered a basic component of socioeconomic, socio-political, and cultural development (Naveed and Aiin, 2017). In this vein, the ultimate user has to possess strong information literacy skills in tackling a variety of information options in such a world with superior and complex technology (Becker, 2018).Self-efficacy is a multidimensional structure that is evaluated at different academic, social and emotional levels. Academic self-efficacy is related to an individual’s sense of ability to manage learning activities, master coursework, and meet academic expectations (Morris, 2001). On the other hand, social intelligence is what makes people perform well in the areas of living. Considering the Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS), a person with social intelligence should have three capabilities: the ability to understand and predict other people’s behavior and feelings and to understand verbal and non-verbal messages in human relationships (social information processing), the ability to involve new social situations and make social adaptations such as active listening, acting assertively, etc. (social skills), and the ability to actively behave according to the situation, time and place (social awareness) (Silvera, Martinussen & Dahl, 2001)Literature ReviewConsidering the past and present literature review, there is a significant correlation between information literacy and students' self-efficacy (Haghi, 2014, Maghsoodi and Esmaili Shad, 2017) and hence it is concluded that the greater the individual’s feeling of competence, the higher perseverance, flexibility and the ability to face challenges in solving information problems in modern life.Considering the review of literature, many studies have examined the relationship between individual's belief in self-efficacy and information literacy and intelligence, but few studies have examined the effectiveness of teaching information literacy skills in social intelligence and the level of students' self-efficacy in problem-solving with an experimental approach. Therefore, in this research, an attempt was made to explore whether teaching information literacy skills has an effect on social intelligence and the students’ level of self-efficacy in solving problems.MethodologyIn terms of purpose, the present study was applied and in terms of procedure, it was an experimental study of a correlational nature with an experimental interventional approach (pre-test-post-test design with a control group) based on Solomon's four-group design. This research design consisted of four participating groups, two experimental groups and two control groups.The statistical population of the research comprised all master’s level students of the Islamic Azad University, Marvdasht Branch in the Departments of Humanities and Engineering in the year 2021-2022. Based on the Krejcie and Morgan Table, 76 people were selected as the sample of the study and were then divided into four groups by stratified random sampling method. Afterward, a pre-test was administered to one of the control and experimental groups. To conduct the research, the Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) (2001) and Scherer et al.'s Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) (1982) were used.In order to determine the effectiveness of information literacy skills, the information literacy skills training package was used which consisted of: skills, including defining information needs, finding information, evaluating information, organizing information, and exchanging (disseminating) information, for which 8 sessions of 45 minutes were scheduled and for each session, a specific topic, goal and working method were determined.The data extracted from the research instruments were analyzed using SPSS 22. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk statistical tests were used to validate the normality of the error distribution, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and independent samples t-test were used to test the research hypotheses.Results The findings of the research showed that teaching information literacy skills had a positive effect on increasing the level of social intelligence in the participants of the experimental groups. Also, the results of the test showed that teaching information literacy skills had a significant effect on the students' self-efficacy in solving problems, but there was no difference between the students’ fields in the post-test in terms of social intelligence and their self-efficacy in solving problems.Discussion Based on the results obtained from this study, it can be suggested that teaching information literacy skills can improve the students' performance in problem solving by increasing social intelligence and self-efficacy. Also, high self-efficacy can play a crucial role in the desire for success and a sense of self-worth and self-confidence.In general, under the influence of individuals’ social intelligence, variables such as individuals’ competence in information literacy skills can affect their participation in personal and social communication and its quality. Therefore, an effective information literacy training program is needed to increase the students’ self-efficacy at all levels of different university disciplines.ConclusionThe research results highlight the beneficial effects of teaching information literacy skills on improving social intelligence and cognitive abilities of students in boosting their level of self-efficacy in problem solving.

Introduction The purpose of the current research is to design a knowledge management system performance evaluation model in the software industry using a neural network. Based on the collected data, a quantitative study was conducted to confirm the findings obtained from the qualitative stage. For exploratory study and extraction of categories related to evaluation factors, the meta-combination method (Sandelowski and Barroso model) was used. The research method in the quantitative part is descriptive survey. The statistical population of the research was made up of all software developers and software experts in universities and companies. Findings: 7 main categories including individual factors, organizational factors, technology and infrastructure, functional factors, knowledge management tools, economic factors, knowledge management tools, and 29 sub-categories were identified. The innovation of the research is building a model using neural network algorithms that have the ability to predict the performance evaluation index of the knowledge management system and the impact of each of the indicators using a neural network in the field of software. Conclusion: The results obtained from the questionnaire have been used for the input of the network model, the results showed that components such as technology infrastructure factors and functional factors have a greater impact on the evaluation of knowledge management performance in software development.Literature ReviewIn a research, they evaluated the performance of the knowledge management system in Iranian software companies. The results showed that the knowledge management system consists of 4 processes of identifying and creating, recording and maintaining, sharing and applying and internalizing knowledge. In a research, they designed a fuzzy inference system to evaluate the performance of the knowledge management system in the software development industry. The use of neural networks in evaluating the key factors of the knowledge management system in Iranian companies based in Alborz province was investigated. A research modeled an organizational knowledge management system based on artificial intelligence. Fuzzy theory was used to create knowledge extraction mechanism and reference model library from project model to dedicated reference model.MethodologyThe method used in this research is a mixed research method of exploratory type with a qualitative approach and meta-composite and Delphi methods. In the first stage, the meta-composite method was used to identify the main and sub-categories of the indicators, and then the validation and presentation of the final indicators were done with the fuzzy Delphi method. The current research method is practical in terms of purpose. The sample size was selected by simple random sampling method with Cochran's formula of 186 people. In the meta-combination method of the research, library sources and documents including articles, reliable and referable internet sources, as well as domestic and foreign scientific reports were used. For exploratory study and extraction of categories related to evaluation factors, the meta-combination method (Sandelowski and Barroso model) was used. Factors and dimensions of knowledge management system evaluation for which indicators are considered were provided to 20 members and experts. The implementation of the Delphi panel was carried out in two periods. Fuzzy Delphi method was used to screen and identify the final indicators and to answer the first and second questions of the research regarding the agreement of the experts of the research community regarding the obtained components, which includes software experts and knowledge management experts. 7 main categories including individual factors, organizational factors, technology and infrastructure, functional factors, knowledge management tools, economic factors, and 29 sub-categories were identified. In order to collect quantitative data, a researcher-made questionnaire (40 items) was used, the items of which were taken from the results of the meta-composite analysis in the first stage. In this research, in order to check the reliability of the research questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was estimated at 0.89 for infrastructure factors and 0.88 for functional factors, respectively.Results In this research, the performance of the knowledge management system was evaluated with a neural network approach.

IntroductionThe use of metadata in various information contexts such as cultural heritage contexts (libraries, museums, and archives) requires proper management. Using metadata, especially during the production or before publication of the content objects, is an appropriate solution; because it provides the ability to identify, evaluate, select, explore, and manage content objects in various information storage and retrieval systems. Each library and information center needs a range of metadata standards to manage content objects and facilitate and expedite access to them. In most cases, a single standard cannot meet all needs or support all intended functions. In other words, not all elements of a metadata standard are applicable to a particular library or information center. The solution offered by the information and knowledge organization field, especially the metadata field, is an application profile to solve the problem of the non-applicability of a metadata standard and its set of elements in a particular library or information context.The Library, Museum, and Archive of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (A.S.) have a collection of valuable ancient resources and objects, which its printed resources and written heritage have been organized, and their bibliographic information is available for viewing and use by clients through the Azarsa Software. A vast number of written and audiovisual documents, along with over 7,000 historical artifacts, have been registered and recorded in this center. The purpose of the current research was to design a metadata application profile for describing and organizing (processing) the content objects of the Library, Museum, and Archive of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (A.S.).Literature ReviewApplication profiles emerged after criticisms were made about the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) for being simple and proposals to expand or complete it through other metadata standards (Tennis, 2015). Application profiles provide a mechanism to extract the elements required, appropriate to the characteristics of a database or information centers, link between these elements, and present them in the application profile form. Non-use of an application profile causes local needs not to be considered in the metadata schema, and this causes the database, digital library, or information centers to face many problems during the use phase (Najafzadeh, 2016).Application profiles consist of metadata elements from one or more standards that are implemented, combined, and optimized according to the local environment. Combining multiple standard metadata schemas to develop an application profile enables metadata to have a higher level of standardization, organization, and interoperability, and to be easily shared among many organizations (Nonthakarn & Wuwongse, 2015). Application profile consists of four main components: application, entities, entities’ properties, and property’s value (Gerontakos & Riesenberg, 2021, p14). From Taheri's point of view (2014, p154), the birth certificate of each metadata application profile element has 13 components. These components are: name of term, label, defined by, source definition, library definition, description, type of term, refinement(s), refined by, encoding scheme, obligation, data type, and occurrence. These components are generally mentioned in the table form.Libraries, archives, and museums have been important institutions that have facilitated access to all kinds of information in the form of diverse content objects and have led to the cultural and educational progress of the society. These institutions in the current information society need to describe and organize their content objects, and metadata tools are very helpful in this field. Therefore, some of the best places to design, use, and exploit application profiles are libraries and information centers.MethodologyThe research method was practical in terms of the goal, which was carried out with an analysis approach. The research community was the employees of the organization department and managers of the Library, Museum and Archive of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (A.S.) and elements, attributes and properties of the metadata standards of the cultural heritage context (library, archive and museum), which were selected by purposeful sampling method. The data collection method was structured observation and the tools were interviews, questionnaires, and checklistsResultsThe findings showed that in order to describe and organize (process) the content objects of the Library, Museum, and Archive of the Holy Shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (A.S.), three separate metadata application profiles are needed for the library, museum, and archive. The metadata application profile designed for library, museum and archives content objects had 53, 83, and 27 main and sub-elements, respectively. Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS), UK Collection Management Standard (Spectrum), and International Standard Archival Description (ISAD) had the highest number in the metadata application profile in the contexts of library, museum, and archives, respectively.ConclusionThe design of a metadata application profile will lead to the proper description and processing of content objects, more convergence of the cultural heritage context, as well as better management of metadata. This is done according to local context and needs, and it will increase the access points, retrieval, and interoperability with other information management systems and libraries

IntroductionRecently, the development of artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction has highlighted the increasing importance of language challenges in information retrieval. The crucial role of language in disseminating, accessing, and retrieving information cannot be studied independently of syntax and semantics. Explaining and describing research in this field from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and understanding researchers' trends, is an important step in comprehending the significance of syntax and semantics in communication structures within modern information search and retrieval environments. Consequently, in this descriptive and analytical study, we conducted qualitative and quantitative analyses of studies in the field of syntax and semantics in information retrieval. Literature ReviewIn recent years, there has been a lot of interdisciplinary research focusing on investigating the impact of language on the interaction between users and the web environment. These studies have discussed the language from various perspectives and have explored information retrieval across different types of information media, including web databases, search engines, commercial websites, and libraries. Tapsai (2019), Norouzi and Hamavandi (2018), Hammo (2009), Lazarinis (2008), Ofoghi, Yearwood & Ghosh (2006) have focused on different languages such as Persian, English, Arabic, and Greek. The findings show that the syntax and morphology, as well as the semantics of searched terms and phrases, have a significant impact on the retrieval of results. In addition, search tools tend to rely more on the general form of words instead of focusing on the real needs of users in order to improve the search process.Due to the huge amount of information on the World Wide Web and the challenges related to information retrieval, researchers and software developers have turned to the Semantic Web to keep up with the changes. The Semantic Web has provided a large amount of structured and machine-understandable information on a wide range of topics (Guha, McCool & Miller, 2003). Semantic models perform well in identifying and recognizing synonyms, similar words, and semantic frameworks. Therefore, one of the most important challenges in the field of information storage and retrieval is to bridge the gap between the language used by information seekers and information providers (Rezaee Sharifabadi et al., 2010).The current study aims to systematically review previous research findings on syntax and semantics in information storage and retrieval across different contexts. Each context represents different dimensions of knowledge representation systems, from traditional to semantics. Upon reviewing the research, it was found that no systematic review has been conducted with a focus on syntax and semantics in the field of information retrieval. MethodologyIn this qualitative research using Aveyard’s systematic review method, we aim to address the following questions:What is the statistical status of studies in the field of syntax and semantics in storing and retrieving information?What are the main subject areas that researchers have focused on in studies related to syntax and semantics in storing and retrieving information?What research methods and approaches have researchers employed in this field?What are the research gaps and areas that require further study in this field?To gather relevant sources from information databases, we selected search keywords based on the research questions. Then, we used search strategies and various operators to combine the keywords and phrases, ensuring a comprehensive and effective search in Persian databases such as Magiran, Irandoc, SID, NoorMagz, ISC, and Civilica, as well as databases including Scopus, Emerald, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. There was no time limitation for the search. We recorded accepted sources such as articles and theses that were relevant and valid. By removing irrelevant and duplicate sources, we selected 12 Persian sources and 42 English sources. After categorizing, the studies were analyzed according to the type of source, research method, and tool. The results of the analysis of the studies were presented in the form of tables and graphs. ResultsThe selected studies were categorized into three groups (their characteristics were described in detail): information retrieval, information organization, and information search based on the analysis of keywords and subjects raised in the sources. The results of the study revealed that among the 54 reviewed studies, Iranian researchers had conducted the most research in the field of syntax and semantics in information retrieval, with 12 studies. The United States followed with 5 studies, and China and Vietnam tied for third place with 4 studies each. The majority of the studies focused on syntax and semantics in information retrieval. DiscussionAnalysis of 54 selected studies has shown that these studies were conducted over a period of 26 years. The oldest study was included in the review back to 1997, while the most recent one is from 2022. This shows the dynamic nature of the field under investigation and demonstrates how it is constantly changing and being influenced by the advancement of web technologies. Furthermore, a thematic analysis of the research, based on the studies' keywords, reveals that "Ontology," as a tool of the semantic web, is closely linked to the semantic and syntax aspects of language in information retrieval.Moreover, in a total of 54 studies, the majority were experimental (19), followed by applied (15) and analytical (9). Additionally, there were 6 studies that combined applied and analytical methods. Content analysis and comparative analysis each had 2 instances, while case studies were the least frequent with only 1 case. These studies have utilized tools such as ontology, search engines, and techniques including natural language processing, annotation, tagging, and indexing.The discussion about exploring syntax and semantics in relation to information retrieval across different languages is believed to make a significant contribution to the development of future research literature in this field. This is because users’ native language plays a central role in forming search terms for information retrieval, based on subjective meanings, context, and content. Considering this point can effectively enhance information retrieval systems. ConclusionAlthough many studies have addressed various aspects of syntax and semantics in information retrieval, more research is needed to investigate syntax and semantics in information organization. It is also important to delve into and analyze their theoretical aspects in information retrieval, especially through interdisciplinary studies.Moreover, the interconnectedness of various areas of study demonstrates the close relationship between syntax and semantics and linguistic issues in nearly every field that involves organizing, storing, and retrieving information. These areas include the study of syntax and semantics in relation to environmental sensors, indexing, identification and summarization of texts, plagiarism detection, natural language processing, repositories, improvement of query users and data retrieval in repositories and search engines, metadata enrichment, and image retrieval. The results of this research, such as its main themes, identified methods and approaches, and research gaps, can offer valuable insights for future studies.

1.Introduction Knowledge is the axis of value creation in today's organizations. Knowledge management as a strategic capital of an organization is considered the most important organizational advantage. On the other hand, the importance of sharing the experiences of librarians to each other in order to perform their professional duties, shows the role of knowledge transfer and sharing methods among librarians. These days, improving the performance of the organization is a response from an organization to face the challenges that arise from the rapid global transformations. From the organization's point of view, this challenge includes responding to the needs of customers and providing goods or services with a high degree of efficiency and in an efficient and effective manner. From the perspective of organizational members, this challenge includes improving the quality of work life. So that the organization is a pleasant and satisfying place for work and effort.This paper examines the state of knowledge sharing among managers and librarians of public libraries in the city of Ahvaz. Every organization has its own culture, which is influenced by the culture of the organization's people. In this research, it has tried to measure the effect of culture on knowledge sharing in the form of components such as competition, motivation, support, cooperation, trust, etc.Research questions are:What is the culture of knowledge sharing among the employees (librarians and managers) of Ahvaz public libraries?What are the different methods of sharing knowledge among the employees (librarians and managers) of public libraries in Ahvaz?What is the status of information and communication technologies for sharing knowledge among public libraries in Ahvaz? Literature Review Literature review shows that there is a positive and significant relationship between organizational culture and knowledge sharing in many studies. For example, a study by Burnette (2017) aims to explore the nature of tacit knowledge (TK) sharing among library colleagues, with a focus on the characteristics of TK and contextual factors such as organizational culture or the mentor/mentee relationship. Three thematic areas emerged. First are the influence of organizational culture and the importance of trust in knowledge sharing behavior. Second, the value of teamwork and the significance of mentor/mentee roles surface as significant drivers of TK exchange. Last but not least is a better understanding of the nature of TK, as it relates to types of knowledge and characterizations of experience and expertise. Methodology This is an applied research and has been done by survey. The statistical population was all employees (managers and librarians) of public libraries in Ahvaz City and the implementation time was 2022. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, and the content validity of the questionnaire was obtained by experts' opinion and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha (0.90) and dividing it into two halves (0.85). In analyzing the questionnaire data, descriptive statistics techniques were used for demographics, and techniques such as one-sample t-test and Friedman's rank average test were used for the questionnaire's inferential questions. ResultsIn terms of the components of sharing culture, the competition between employees for sharing knowledge with the highest average (3.16) has the best status, and the managers' motivation to share knowledge with other libraries is the lowest with an average of 2.70. Also, the state of knowledge sharing in terms of different methods of knowledge sharing shows that the most favorable state is related to courses and workshops with an average of 3.55, followed by the enterprise resource planning (ERP) with 3.51, as well as the quality of personal communication and informal among librarians with an average of 3.26. The findings show the status of knowledge sharing and communication technology from the point of view of the managers and librarians of public libraries in the city. For instance, while training courses and workshops and personal and informal communication between librarians, as well as administrative automation are good, other things such as employee performance and the culture of knowledge sharing are less favorable. Cases were found where there was a lack of awareness of the importance of knowledge sharing and a lack of organizational support. Conclusion The results of the current research show that information and communication technology and then knowledge-sharing methods are in a more suitable situation than the categories of employee behavior and knowledge-sharing culture. According to the findings regarding the knowledge-sharing methods, where Friedman's test was used, the highest average rating was given to the method of sharing and exchanging knowledge from courses and workshops with an average rating of 9.63 with a deviation of 0.78. The next ranks were administrative automation system with an average rank of 9.43 and personal and informal communication between librarians with an average rank of 8.46. Finally, the knowledge management system with an average rating of 5.36, publications and bulletins with an average rating of 5.30, and public libraries with an average rating of 4.67, have the lowest average, which should be used by examining the problem of the degree of its solution. Overall, this study shows there is a need to improve information technology and the culture of knowledge sharing.
