The resources of the organization are the main assets and skeleton of the organization. The most successful organizations are those that use their intangible assets faster and better; Among the important organizational intangible assets are knowledge and information. Knowledge and information drive the life of today's organizations more than factors such as capital, land or labor. Knowledge is the most important or strategic production factor; Knowledge is the most basic capital of organizations, including university libraries, and knowledge management is one of the important tools for the success of organizations in the information age. Knowledge audit is defined as the examination and measurement of knowledge used in the knowledge management system, as well as a tool for valuing knowledge and determining the opportunities and problems of knowledge management. Knowledge audit is a systematic evaluation of organizational knowledge health. Considering the importance of medical sciences libraries in the dissemination of health information and the role of knowledge management audit in the optimal implementation of knowledge management, the present study intends to identify the indicators of the conceptual model of knowledge management audit in the libraries of medical sciences universities in Iran.

The current research is a combination of quantitative and qualitative types and analytical survey. After formulating and setting the research questions and with the determination of the research objectives as well as the determination of the statistical population and statistical samples, the necessary data were collected with the help of smart PLS software and the questions were tested by analyzing them. In the use of library resources, the resources available in the library of the Program and Budget Organization, Islamic Council Research Center, Faculty of Management of Tehran University and Tarbiat Modarres University were used. In order to use electronic resources, the scientific information resources of the university were also used and the databases of electronic scientific journals in English, such as Science Direct, Scopus, Thomson Reuters, ProQuest, Wiley, Springer, OCD, Emerald, etc., were used. In addition, all Persian databases of scientific research publications of the University of Tehran, Namametn publications, the country's publications database, Noor specialized magazines, the scientific information database of academic Jihad, knowledge reference (articles of conferences and seminars) and most importantly the website of the Research Center of the Islamic Council and the organization of the budget program has been reviewed and an effort has been made to monitor all the issues worked in this field with a comprehensive view and use of them if they are related to the research topic. In order to identify the indicators of the conceptual model of knowledge management audit, the fuzzy Delphi method was used in two stages by 12 experts, of which 6 (50%) were men and 6 (50%) were women. All the people in the statistical population of the research had a doctorate degree, 58.3% had the scientific rank of assistant professor, and 66.7% had more than 15 years of experience in working with the university library. Second-order confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the identified indicators. In order to validate the model, a questionnaire was conducted among 122 managers and librarians of medical sciences universities in Tehran, Shahid Beheshti, Iran, Isfahan, Mashhad, Kerman, Tabriz, Hamedan, Gilan, Hormozgan, Shiraz, Shahid Sadouqi of Yazd, Lorestan, Arak, Jundishapur of Ahvaz. It was distributed in Birjand where 111 people answered the questionnaire.

The conceptual model of knowledge management audit was obtained in three dimensions, 13 indicators and 55 sub-indices. The dimensions of the stage after the knowledge management audit with (0.8550), before the knowledge management audit with (0.8460) and during the implementation of knowledge management with (0.8430) were the most important.Discussion and

Internal researches have less discussed the knowledge audit and have mostly been done on knowledge management in different statistical populations. Often, in several areas, they have used the method of documentary study and with an analytical approach to comparative study and analysis of existing models and methodologies in the field of knowledge audit. In general, all models and methodologies are somewhat general and static in nature, and in order to be used in Different organizational environments do not have the necessary flexibility and agility; Limited researches have been done in the field of identifying dimensions and audit indicators of knowledge management. The main focus of researches outside of Iran includes examining the audit indicators of knowledge management in the evaluation of organizations and expressing the challenges of using quantitative methods to evaluate the quality of research in this field, investigating and identifying quantitative and qualitative indicators for evaluating research in different dimensions, introducing and expressing the importance of audit in knowledge management in the evaluation of organizations. In order to measure the importance of each of the knowledge management audit indicators, after analyzing the indicators with the help of factor analysis, a fitted factor model was designed to present a conceptual model of knowledge management audit in the libraries of medical sciences universities. The results showed the approval and acceptable fit of the conceptual model of knowledge management audit in the libraries of medical sciences universities.

Knowledge audit is a systematic evaluation of organizational knowledge health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the conceptual model of knowledge management audit in the Iranian medical universities’ libraries.

This paper describes the emerging semantic-social concepts in digital libraries and explores the potential use of semantic web technologies.

The present study is a qualitative and analytical-explanatory one that uses Michel Foucault's theoretical (paleontological) contexts to evaluate changes in the semantic web domain.

The present study, after examining the challenges of semantic web implementation and access to semantic tools and services, demonstrates the benefits of applying standards (RDA and RDF), and thus provides a brief classification of tools and services. Semantic services are provided. In addition, a checklist has been suggested to further evaluate semantic tools, services, and projects.

Given that digital libraries will hold a huge amount of future data, As a result, the use of semantic web standards and technologies in digital libraries offers a new level of flexibility, interaction, interoperability and knowledge sharing and enhances their capabilities, so it is necessary to use from semantic web standards and tools. In semantic web a framework will be presented that every subject can be defined according to its special features, also these subjects among a net of communications have a possibility of adding a new or related meaning. Through semantic web, social semantic digital libraries will present a new level of capabilities, increasing cooperation& mutual communication, and sharing knowledge.

This study was performed to determine and compare safety conditions of public libraries affiliated with Iran Public Libraries Foundation (IPLF) as well as Municipality Organization for Culture and Arts (MOCA) for the purpose of identification and comparison of their strengths, weaknesses, common points, and differences regarding safety indices.

This is of survey type. The population under study consisted of 37 public libraries of IPLF and 72 public libraries affiliated with MOCA, which were in total 109 libraries. A researcher-made questionnaire as a checklist was used to collect necessary data and included questions in terms of 8 indices of library safety, which were filled by the responders.

As the results show, there is significant difference between public libraries of the IPLF and those affiliated with MOCA for the first index (quality of library building) in two criteria and for the fourth index (safety of library against fire) in one criterion, such that these criteria are observed more in public libraries of IPLF, and these public libraries were evaluated to be better concerning the quality of library building. Regarding safety against fire, no significant difference was observed except one case which was observed in public libraries affiliated with IPLF. Considering the second index (library’s safety against earthquake), the third index (library’s safety against storm and flood), and the eighth index (library’s safety against damages caused by biological factors), the two groups were similar to a high extent and no significant difference existed between them. There were significant differences for the fifth index (library’s safety against theft and harming the resources) in four criteria, for the sixth index (employees’ safety) in two criteria, and for the seventh index (safety against damages caused by physical and chemical factors) in seven criteria, such that libraries affiliated with MOCA were evaluated to be better concerning their safety against theft and harm, employees’ safety, and resource’ safety against damages caused by heat, moisture and light. For the seventh index, there was significant difference in one criterion which was observed in public libraries supervised by IPLF. In total, libraries of the both groups had no appropriate status with regard to observing safety indices.Originality/Value: The new comparative approach made for safety issues of public libraries makes this paper valuable as it exhibits the weaknesses and strengths to inform programmers and officials, and provides some strategies to improve safety conditions of libraries.

This research aims to introduce different cultural indicators in 52 books published for Iranian children during 15 years after Islamic revolution. Among these indicators, the concept of peace is very important to establish a communication among different cultures of the nations. So, by using content analysis method, we tried to extract the most important entries for introducing world cultural indicators. The result shows that political systems as a main entry for introducing global culture have a frequency of 139 (12%). For Iranian culture, the most important entry is cultural property (historical monuments) with 44 frequencies (14%) among 314 entries. Peace concept with only 30 frequencies among 1158 analyzed data has a little share (%025), among the other cultural indicators.

We are living in the information age. In this age, one of the important criteria for determination of the development of societies is Information and Science Production. It means the rate of the works and scientific articles that are indexed in ISI (Institution for Scientific Information) by the researchers of the country. Base on this meaning, each year ISI determines Countrie's Scientific ranking; regarding their Science Productions. Recently, the scientific rating of researchers and authors were determined by their scientific rating on ISI in universities and research centers around the world, so researchers and authors struggle with improving their scientific rating for obtaining job opportunities and getting applied to authoritative universities in the world. This matter has been regarded strongly among Iranian researchers (especially, students and young researchers), so that to get acceptance from journals with high ranking in ISI. This article decides to help these researchers with introducing ISI main criteria of article writing. This article has been written for authors who (from all fields) know writing basically but want to write in a level that it would be indexed by ISI and help them to get a high position by citing to their articles. So this article is arranged by the article components (such as; title, abstract, …) and the writing important points with ISI criteria for each component of article that has been explained in detailed with regarding Iranian authors weak points in writing articles scientifically. Thus among introducing and referring to the criteria of ISI for determining the authors and journals scientific ranking, this criteria for providing each component of article has survived; and was defined by discussion direct relation between them. ISI criteria has been based on powerful and logical reasons and so there are direct and logical relation between the ISI criteria for writing of the article components and Information Literacy. Thus authors notified that one of the important weak points of Iranian researchers in getting acceptance from the high ranking ISI journals for publishing their articles is lack of Information Literacy. so this article suggests that schools, colleges, research centers, and institutions must improve their students or researchers Information Literacy by starting the education courses of Information Literacy and essay writing scientifically based on ISI criteria.
