  Purpose: The survey has been conducted to evaluate and to recognize the websites conditions of the internal library and information journals based on the qualitative evaluation (W.Q.A.T.) tool. Methodology: The research is evaluative survey and the evaluation tool is W.Q.A.T. The tool examines the validity of the websites based on the nine general criteria including: content, performance, validity, up-to-date, connection, graphics, scope, and the labels use. The population contained 13 library and information websites which had independent websites. To analyze the data obtained, the percentage, rating mean, and the standard deviation were used. Findings: More than 60% of the websites under study were evaluated from the content quality aspect and more than 80% from the performance score were evaluated as moderate and strong. From the validity score viewpoints, all the websites acted as moderate and more. Only 8% acted strong from the up-to-date aspect and the connection performance had moderate performance. Also, 47% of the websites obtained weak and very weak scores. More than 90% of the websites graphics performance was evaluated as upper moderate and more than 93% of them rated as strong, 46% of super labels were excellent and about 54% were weak. Results: Of the all 31 components and 8 criteria for the evaluation of the library and information journals, only 2 performance and the content criteria had strong score. The graphics, structure, super labels had moderate, the connection and up-to-date criteria had weak performance. Manuscript profile

  AbstractThe purpose of this study was to design a management model of university library information system with emphasis on knowledge management components. The present study is an applied type in terms of purpose-based segmentation and a combined method, survey and Delphi in terms of data collection method. In Delphi method, the opinions of 52 academic experts, managers and senior experts of the organization have been used. After collecting data, for statistical analysis, structural equation methods and Friedman test using SPSS and PLS statistical software were used. According to the results of Friedman test, 79 indicators of important factors for knowledge management success are significantly different. The findings showed that the important factors for the success of knowledge management in the organization in order of priority are: leadership and support of senior management, organizational culture, training and retraining, documentation, knowledge management strategy, knowledge repositories, rewarding and motivation Human resource management, information technology, management of organizational infrastructure, processes and activities, performance measurement, elimination of resource constraints, modeling of the best.Keywords: Information System, University Libraries and Knowledge Management.1 Manuscript profile

  Purpose: Mapping is a method to represent scientific output in a field of science. This study aims at mapping LIS publications in Web of Science during 1993-2011. Methdology: The type of  survey is scientometric. To do this, web of science (WOS) database was searched and total records were downloaded and imported into histcite software and analyzed. This software can analyze the records in the files of author, journal, institution and ect . Some of them  were entered to excel for further analysis. The map of  science constructed based on global citation scores (gcs). Findings:5097 records were retrieved. HistCite was used to make maps. The average growth rate was % 0.013. The papers were published in ninety-nine journal. The electronic library journal published more than other journals. 2466 universities and colleges contributed and Illinois university published the most papers. Bawden, Budd and Nicholas were the most active authors. While 82 countries contributed in publications U.S. published the most papers. Contribution coefficient was relatively low (0.24). Three clusters were identified. The dominant subjects in three clusters were “information seeking behavior”, “information retrieval” (1st cluster), “children information seeking  behavior” (2nd), “information retrieval”, “visualization” and “scientometrics” (3rd cluster). Conclusion: In this study, major magazines, active authors and major institutions, leading countries, of library and information science were determined, to be a good model for our country researchers to improve the qualitative and quantitative of their researches.
