  Objective: The purpose of this research is to evaluate and improve the new Masters curriculum of Library and Information Science in Iran, through comparing with England’s curriculum, based on Wilson model. Methods: This is an applied research. The research has an analytical comparative method. It is done in two stages, first the content of the courses are analyzed, then compare this analysis results with each other. Data are collected through documentary research. Results: The Wilson proposal model has 4 areas of education; people, information content, information systems and organizations. Findings indicate that Sheffield University curriculum (as the representative of England) respectively covers these subjects as follows: 25.37%, 23.56%, 23.30%, 27.77%. And the Iran's: 20.11%, 39.25%, 22.48% and 18.16%. Conclusion: Results show that the curriculum of Sheffield university of England is more compatible with Wilson Model with the rate of 93.9%. And the Iran's curriculum rate is 71.5%. To improve this compatibility for Iran curriculum, it is better to increase the areas of people, information systems and organizations, and decrease the area of information content. This made the curriculum more balanced. To achieve this, England curriculum can be used as a pattern after localization. Manuscript profile

Among 47 articles, 46 cases have had authorship and one of them had been translated. The portion of men has been 69% and the portion of women has been 31 %. 83% of articles have one writer, 15%, two writers and 2% have three writers. The greatest portion of the experts has PhD with 33%. Rahmatollah Fattahi is the most productive writer by presenting 4 titles. From the aspect of organizational affiliation, the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad has had the greatest portion in presenting the articles.

The results also indicate that articles surveyed have no attention to the following subjects: book reviews, conferences, specialized libraries, archive centers, document delivery, book, non-printed material, audio-visual materials, reference services, the cataloging rules and content analysis. So, there is a need to authorize and present articles in these fields. Also, much attention to the co-working and the effort for more participation of women is needed.     Manuscript profile
