Standard is a collection of recipes, guidelines or recommendations which is used in production, creating or making goods, products, documents or special resources. The main purpose of the present research is to study the Archival Standards in Iranian Archival software and foreign open source software in order to determine the most appropriate descriptive metadata and Resource description standard (s) as well as considering the Encoder Software support of these standards.

The present study follows a mixed design (hybrid design) in which library method, Delphi method, and descriptive surveys are used. Data gathering tool in library study is fiche, in the Delphi method is researcher-constructed questionnaire and in descriptive survey is checklist. Statistical population of the study contains foreign open source software, Iranian Archival software and Iranian library software. Of course, the last one includes archival material and also maintains descriptive metadata. Altogether, 11 software was detected.
Findings: The current study’s findings suggest that 5 metadata standards including EAD, EAC-CPF, ISAAR, ISAD & ISDF were diagnosed to be appropriate by Delphi Panel members as the most appropriate and suitable archival standards to be used for archival software. Moreover, Archivist toolkit, Archon and ICA-ATOM in terms of supporting the standards which were considered suitable, were diagnosed as the most appropriate archival software. Finally, it can be mentioned that Iranian software has the greatest correspondence with other fields such as Identity Statement Area, Conditions of Access and Use Area & Notes Area.

aim: Websites of medical universities in addition to its role as an information tool in the health scope, they have also importance in promotion of universities’ ranking in webometrics ranking of world universities and also in webometric ranking of Iranian universities and research institutions. So, continuous evaluation of these websites in different aspects, especially based on considering index of these ranSpearman correlation.
Findings: The finding of this study showed that in total, from maximum score related to evaluating criteria i.e. 102 score, Tehran university of medical sciences (by obtaining 73.66 score), Isfahan university of medical sciences (by obtaining 67.65 score) and Kashan university of medical sciences (by obtaining 66.56 score) have the most accommodation with the research checklist. Bam university of medical sciences, Dezfool university of medical sciences and Jiroft university of medical sciences (38.87, 38.85 and 37.02 respectively) have the least accommodation.

The present study indicates that whole websites are far from ideal situation. So, Iranian medical universities need to take advantage of the results of this study to improve the structure and content of their websites. These universities besides pay more attention to produce of rich and update information content also they must notice to technical criteria of search engines optimization in designing of their websites and by removing the technical access problems, try to eliminate the barriers of visibility.

To investigate Shahid Chamran University students’ expectations from librarians.

This is a descriptive study conducted through content analysis approach. A questionnaire was distributed among the sample and content analysis and interpretations were carried out on the frequency of each statement of every 6 studied topics.
Findings: Librarians were expected to be familiar with information resources special topics, to know students’ disciplines, know popular authors in each discipline and have mastery in searching the Internet and databases and teach information literacy, have skill in using library software. Also, to have good temper and patience and respect students, help them in searching information resources, be accountable, have good appearance and respect social and Islamic moral values.
Originality: This is the first research in this field which solely focuses on students expectations for library services.

The aim of this study is to analyze the number of medical journals published in Iran and compare it to the number of researchers.

This study is an applied one and was done by using a descriptive survey methodology. Statistical population of this study includes all the medical journals (341 titles) and researchers (113693 people) that 16551 educator, 9639 educated and 87503 are related to students. Share of each researcher from journals during a year was calculated by using articles received (from 74 sample journals). Tools of data collection for this study include: researcher- made data checklist, direct and telephone interview, electronic posts and excel software for analyzing the data.

 The findings of the study showed that the medical (public) with 122 titles and two areas of social security and medical and laboratory equipment, each with 1 title respectively as the highest and lowest number of journals devoted to themselves. Also medical science has no journal review-journal and ratio of all scientific–journals to every 10000 researcher in medical studies was 30 titles. In addition, according to papers submitted by researchers in 341 journals, 782 journal titles were predicted for researchers.

Results shows that despite of the rising trend of the journals & researchers, scientific journals of ministry of health, cure and medical training not accountable for publishing researcher articles in the field of medical sciences.

aim: this study is Comparative the performance of search engines and meta search engines in retrieval of information.

. In order to collect the data, five keywords in various fields of information science and universology were selected and five meta-search engines were investigated. Meta-search engines which were investigated in this study include: Meta crawler, web crawler, Info, Info Space and dog pile. Three search engines joint were also covered which are Google, Yahoo and Bing. the first ten retrieved results of each engine were examined. The performance of ranking results in meta search engines from the viewpoint of users were investigated by using technical method. Furthermore, the performance of ranking results in search engines from the viewpoint of users was evaluated.

The research results indicate that among the meta search engines, Info has the best performance in ranking results and evaluating with technical method. Also, Google search engines has the best performance in ranking results among the studied search engines, there is a significant difference in search engines and meta search engines in performance of ranking. But from the perspective of users, there is not a significant difference among ranking performance of results in the meta search engines. Moreover, there is not a significant difference among the studied search engines in performance of ranking results. From the viewpoint of users, performance of ranking was conducted better in search engines than in meta search engines, in a way that performance of ranking in meta search engines was at a weak level.

The purpose of this study was to acsess the rate of acceptance of Information Systems Research (pazhoohan) by Mashhad University of Medical Sciences faculty members based on the technology acceptance model (TAM).

This study used a survey method. Sample volume was 248 of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences faculty members appointed through stratified random sampling method. Data were through a questionnaire. The overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated as be 95%. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used SPSS and LISRER.

No significant relation was observed among MUMS and acceptance of pazhoohan system according to individual factors. The level of acceptance by nonclinical MUMS was more than clinical members. The share rate of TAM internal structures differences was observed and the highest differences was related to the perceived ease of use of the system. the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the pazhoohan system was significant correlation. Finaly the results confirmed the applicability of TAM factors in use of Pazhoohan system.

This research tries to study the role of Tehran’s Islamic Azad University libraries in knowledge-based economic development.
Research

The research uses a descriptive survey-type methodology. The population of the study is composed of 400 university scholars and instructors of 6 Technical-Engineering Faculties and 6 libraries of 6 Islamic Azad university branches, located in the city of Tehran.
