Study on the Effect of Discarding XML Declaration and Changing the File Extension on Increasing the Index ability and Visibility of Metadata Records in the Web Search Engines Environment
Purpose: This research was conducted to examine the effect of discarding XML declaration and changing the file extension on increasing the index ability and visibility of the element tag names of metadata records based on DCXML, MARCXML, and MODS in the Web search engines environment.
Methodology: Two groups of metadata records (300 XML-based records as the control group with the normal structure, and 300 XML-based records without XML declaration and with the extension according to the name of related metadata standard in an experimental group) were analyzed through the experimental approach. Two independent websites assigned to each studied group, and they were introduced to Google and Yahoo search engines. Subsequently, using element-based search strategies, the index ability and visibility of the published metadata records on those websites were examined.
Findings: Findings showed that Google and Yahoo indexed all the elements of tagged names of the metadata records relating to the experimental group indexes, and presented them in their search results. But the elements of tagged names in the control group’s metadata records were not indexed by the search engines.
Based on this study, it is possible to retrieve the experimental group's metadata records by their element of tagged names in the search engines. But the records of the control group are accessible by the values of the element only. In the end, , some patterns were suggested to the metadata creators and the search engine developers

The Study of Iran's Scientific Growth Model after the Islamic Revolution in Iran: Field of Science
Purpose: This study aimed to identify Iran’s scientific growth model in the field of science during 1980 to 2010 (three decades).
Methodology: This study was an applied one which was conducted by using trend studies method and time series analysis. The research population included Iran's all scientific productions which were indexed in Science Citation Index (SCI) during 1980 to2010, (90,000 Records).
Findings: Based on time series analysis and by using R statistical software, Iran's scientific growth models were identified and their growth graphs were analyzed. The dominant scientific growth models for Iran were logistic. The annual growth rate of Iran's scientific production during these years was not stable. Iran's annual scientific production rate in the first, second, and third decades were negative, positive, and rather low, and positive and very high, respectively. Iran's average annual scientific production rates were 15%. Some scientific growth models and their implications for the scientific growth at the national and international levels as well as the factors affecting = the growth trends are presented. Price's hypothesis stating that the exponential growth of science constantly amounts to two times per 15 years was confirmed in the cases of Iran's scientific production; however, his proposed constant growth rate is ambiguous and needs to be revised.

Organizational Silence and Organizational Development In in the Certification Organization and national National Library of Islamic Republic of Iran
Purpose: The purpose of this research study is to measure the relationship between organizational silence and organizational development in the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Methodology: The method used here in this study was the analytical survey. A total sample of 217 employees with B.A degrees and higher education degrees in the National Library were chosen in through the stratified random sampling technique. The A total numbers of 217 questionnaires were distributed among the employees, 205 (%94) that of which only 205 (%94) were gathered and were completely correct. To gather the research data a questionnaire with two sections was used. The organizational silence section was based on Vakola and Dimtris questionnaire (2003) and the organizational development section was based on all Donhamet’s (1989). . To analyze the data, analytical and descriptive methods were used and for testing the research hypothesis, Spearman rank – order correlation test was applied.
Findings : The findings of research study showed that in the organizational silence the best rank relates to the middle managers' attitude with the by mean of 66.44 percent, and in the organization development the best rank relates to the inclination behavior by with the mean of 74.66 percent. The results of this testing showed that there was not any relationship between the organizational silence and the organizational development in the National Library. Therefore, these two variables have nothing to do with themselves each other. The results of the search made it clear that both the top managers and the middle managers were apt to receive the employees' specialized notions and respect to their views as well. Although the employees have the moderate organizational commitment and low job organizational in the organization, they have more tendency to the job change in the library.

The Analysis and Model Testing of the Relations between Compelled Cognitive Non-use of Information with the Intolerance of Uncertainty
Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to analyze the model which tests the relations among compelled non-use of information (CNI) and its components with the intolerance of uncertainty (IU).
Methodology: The survey method was used. ACNI questionnaire was designed based on a comprehensive literature review. A sample of Mashhad University PhD and M.Sc. students (214 cases) participated in the study. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for the data analysis.
Findings: The impact of demographic variables such as gender, areas of study, and academic degree on CNI and IU was not significant. The hypothesis concerning the relationship between variables and the impact of cognitive factors on CNI was also verified. IUS in participants was more than the average level. Findings also revealed that the Subject; Cognitive approach to this topic; and the method used for the data analysis (SEM) in the knowledge and information discipline has not been used extensively.

An Investigation into the Users’ Role in the Credibility Assessment of Web-Based Information Resources from Region one of Islamic Azad University (IAU) Faculty Members’ View Point
Purpose: Different studies which are carried out on the credibility assessment of Web-based information, have taken different factors and levels into account including websites, information sources, information, messages, and the context within which credibility assessment is made. There are still other factors which do not depend on the source in question, but are related to the user who searches the information, and his or her characteristics, attributes, and behaviors. In the present study, first the role and position of users in credibility assessment was reviewed through investigating 7 credibility assessment models. Then, the most important factors and criteria of the models were illustrated according to the views of faculty members.
Methodology: This study used the survey and library-based methods. The population included 1975 full-time faculty members of region 1 of Islamic Azad University (IAU). Based on Cochran formula, the sample of the study included 322 participants. To test the hypotheses, one-way variance was used. The data were processed in SPSS.
Findings: The findings showed that criteria such as user’s purpose, user’s competence (knowledge of the topic information technology, the Internet, and evaluation), and motivation were among the most important criteria for the users’ credibility assessment of information, from the faculty members’ perspective.

Intellectual Foundations of Ontologies in Willard Van Orman Quine Philosophy
Purpose: The aim of this study was to study the theoretical refinement of ontologies as a retrieval tool to examine their intellectual foundations. To this end, firstly the definitions of ontologies were extracted and their intellectual origins were discussed. Secondly, the intellectual foundations of ontologies in the technical qualities of ontologies were investigated. Then, these foundations were sought in the Quine philosophy.
Methodology: The documentary research method was used for the disquisition of intellectual foundations for the definitions and technical qualities of ontologies. Conceptual analysis was used as an approach for identifying these foundations in Quine philosophy.
Findings: This study showed that one of the most important foundations of ontologies is “Ontological Commitment” that was first introduced in Quine philosophy. Ontologies have commitments only to the entities that could be represented. Thus, being or not being of entities in ontologies is contingent to the capability of representation and not to their real existence in the world. Likewise, we found that with regard to Quine philosophy and its infiltration in theoretical and technical foundations of ontologies, relations to this tool are extensional but not intentional like relations in thesauruses or classification schemes

Citation Analysis and Content Analysis of the Persian books for the Recent Undergraduate Syllabus of Library and Information Science (2010) Based on their In-text Citations
Purpose: This study attempted to analyze the in-text citations of Persian books in the recent undergraduate syllabus of Library and Information Science (2010).
Methodology: The methodology used for this study was citation analysis and content analysis to determine the credibility of the cited sources. To achieve this end, from 103 books under study, 4,994 in-text citations were extracted.
Findings: The results showed that 53.72 percent of the citations were from the foreign sources and 38.68 percent of the citations were from the Persian ones. Of the total citations, books with 61.53 percent have the highest number of citations, and journals with 24.82 percent citations were in the second place. Half-life of the Persian sources was estimated 16 years and 9 months while half-life of the English sources was estimated 17 years and 6 months. “Thesaurus of Library and Information Science” with 80 citations and “Children’s Literature in the Elementary School” with 46 citations have been the most frequently cited Persian and English books, respectively. “Faslnameye Ketab” and “Academy Management Journal”, have been the most frequently cited Persian and English journals, respectively. Poori Soltani with 107 citations and Charles Samaran with 56 citations were also determined as the most cited authors in Persian and English. The results also indicated that the subject of “Bibliographic Records” with 7.78 percent have been the most cited

Investigating the Elements of Institutional Repositories in the Iranian Universities and Developing a Conceptual Framework
Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to provide a framework for institutional repository in Iran universities. To this end, this study described how to create an institutional repository and therefore aimed to explain the issues in that regard.
Methodology: This study was an applied-developmental research carried out through a descriptive research and observation tool. Four institutional repositories of Purdue University, ICFAI Business School (IBS), Imperial College London, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology were used.
Findings: Relying on the information from cases, we investigated every element of institutional repository separately and specified its range. Finally, based on the figure, the relationships between the elements were determined. The results of this model could be used in the context of Iran universities.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Google Scholar in Authors' Information Retrieval
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to evaluate the role of Google Scholar effectiveness in the retrieval of the most cited authors' information and publications under different name versions.
Method: This research was applied and has been done under the Survey-Descriptive method. Data collection was done through the field and library methods. The study population included 10 most cited authors in 5 fields which were gathered from In-cite webpage through non-probability sampling method. Different versions of the authors' name retrieval were adjusted to his publications’ check list.
Findings: The recall result of the 12 variables (The formula used to search authors' names) showed that only 4 out of 10 cases were above than the recall average and precision in all of the variables, were below the average level. Friedman test was prioritized for the recall and precision average factors which showed that no variable is better than the other. The results of the student test for measuring the independence of 1 to 6 variables (different names of authors without limiting to a subject) showed that there were not any differences between these two categories of variables but the precision in 1to 6 variables (different names of authors without limiting a subject) is higher than the name limitations of the subjects. Overall, the results suggested that Google Scholar which is used to retrieve the various versions of authors’ names is usually not desirable.

Methodology: This was an applied research which used the survey method. Two questionnaires were used to collect data. The organizational justice questionnaire by Niehoff and Moorman (1993) which includes the three dimensions of distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice (organizational) along with Podsakoff et al.(1990), questionnaire which includes the five dimensions of altruism, conscientiousness, sportsmanship, courtesy, and civic virtue.
Findings: The organizational justice and the organizational citizenship behavior in the university libraries had a moderate average. There was a significant positive relationship between the organizational justice and the organizational citizenship behavior. There was no significant relationship between some dimensions of OCB. Results showed a significant positive relationship between the organizational citizenship behavior and the gender and librarians employment status. To conclude, the organizational justice has an important role in improving the organizational citizenship behavior. If the employees see that justice is implemented in the organization, they will be motivated to do helpful behaviors. Therefore, they increase the level of activities and partnership in the organization

An Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Institutional Repositories Development in Universities based on the Information Systems Theories
Purpose: Institutional repositories provide a new infrastructure for the scientific information management in universities. They can fulfill the internal and external needs if set optimally. Many universities in Iran have decided to develop their institutional repository but they have not applied a systematic planning for it yet. These attempts are based on unorganized frameworks and structures.
Methodology: This study seeks to find the most effective and efficient factors that can affect the institutional repositories’ development. A thorough search was conducted to identify the related literature on the institutional repositories from 2000 to2010). A conceptual content analysis was conducted on the literature. The analysis of the 41 studies revealed that the concepts which were found in the institutional repository literature can be grouped into 6 major themes of strategy, policy, documentation, management/administration, system, and use.
Findings: This paper makes an original contribution to identifying the criteria of developing institutional repositories based on the information systems theories and offering a framework to take them into account

Designing the Scale of Assessing the Implementation Capability of the Cooperative Digital Reference Services (CDRS
Purpose: This study is aimed at designing the scale of assessing the implementation capability of the cooperative digital reference services (CDRS).
Methodology: This is a survey research which is of descriptive type. To gather the relevant data a researcher-made questionnaire has been employed. In this study, human resource staff of libraries has been studied for their expertise. Moreover, Employees’ level of awareness of digital reference librarianship skills, software and hardware equipment, communicational infrastructure, informational resources and budget from the standpoint of the libraries’ employees. The statistical society of this study includes 8 supervisors and 26 librarians in the reference information, and publications sections of the 8 libraries of Allameh Tabatabaei University.
Findings: The findings of the study indicate that although offering such services is highly essential for the research society, and the employees of libraries enjoy fairly good expertise and skill, the number of employees for offering such services is not enough. Also, these libraries do not have the required software and hardware equipment for offering the services. Moreover, the studied libraries require improving their information resources and communication infrastructure for offering the services. Besides, this study confirms that libraries of Allameh Tabatabaei University do not afford the required budget for offering such services

The Effect of Online Help and Instructional Films on the Tendency of the Faculty Members to Use the Scientific Information System of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the tendency of the faculty members to use the guidelines on the worksheet of scientific informational system of the university.
Methodology: This is an applied research which uses survey as an objective method and “Comparing Prototype Alternatives” method to examine the rate of usability. The research population is the faculty members of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. To collect the data, interviews were conducted with 10 members.
Findings: The results showed that the acceptability of the online help and the instructional films can increase the tendency of the faculty members to use the scientific informational system of the university. Instructional films with the average of 3.85 have higher effect on increasing their tendency than the online help with the average of 3.64. Results showed that, factors such as the background color, content of guidelines (words, sentence length, the spring time of guidelines, and the place of guidelines) and preparation assistance at the frame of didactic films have the most important effect on this issue. The results also showed that, by designing guidelines according to basic and scientific principles and emphasizing on the learning methods of users, the tendency of the faculty members to use the informational system can increase.

Investigation Into the Efficiency and Sensitivity Analysis of Nahad Libraries Management across the Iran’s Provinces
Purpose: This paper aimed to analyze the relative efficiency of provinces and their sensitivity analysis across Nahad (Publis Libraries) libraries.
Methodology: Practical method has been used in this study. Six input and three output indexes were extracted from the statistical documentations. The statistical population includes all Iran’s provinces from 1387 to 1390. In addition, the data envelopment analysis model was used for the performance assessment.
Findings: The results showed that Hormozgan, South Khorasan, and Gazvin got the first three ranks, while West Azarbayjan, Fars, and Yazd received the last three ranks. The most sensitive indicator among the total indicators is the number of members in the output. The highest potential indicator is the number of seats in the input. The quality of the efficiency figures for Mazandaran, North Khorasan, and Ilam suggested them as the highest quality producing and being the most efficient ones. However, inefficient provinces of Khorasan Razavi and Esfahan provinces have the best efficiency figures. In addition, this paper attempted to notice the sensitivity indexes for all the provinces and offered a plan for the sensitivity reduction
