Abstract :

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate new technologies in storing and retrieving information at IRIB's video archiving system through examining the current and ongoing situation. Methodology: The present study was a descriptive-analytical study using a survey method which completed in December 2020. The statistical population of this study included 120 employees and specialists, working in 20 archive centers Department of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, IRIB, with degrees in fields including library and information sciences. Census sampling was performed. In this study, because the whole population was targeted, the census method was used. The data collection tool of this research was a questionnaire. The validity and reliability of information measurement tools were confirmed by the professors of information science and statistical analysis, and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was equal to 0.92 all based on results by software (SPSS) version 21. Data were analyzed in two sections including descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.Results: The results of the research showed that the components of information storage, information retrieval, transfer and application of technology in these archiving systems with scores including 3.61, 3.81, 3.70, and 3.64 are at an appropriate level. Therefore, the role of new technologies in storing and retrieving information at the IRIB's archiving systems is evident.Conclusion: According to the results of the study, the use of new information technologies in archives can be a tool to improve the speed, memory and high accuracy in providing, the possibility of cheap use of information from other archives and databases. By using technology in archives, by sharing resources, in addition to eliminating duplication and fragmented activities, it is possible to reduce the costs and ease of access to resources to increase the efficiency of archives and provide user satisfaction.
