INTRUDUCTION: The aim of this study is to find out the relationship designators in the metadata records of the National Library and Archives of Iran (NLAI), based on the Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard.
In this study, the content analysis method was used. The study population included metadata records for books in NLAI for four bibliographic families including Quran, Nahj al-Balagha, Shahnameh, and Masnavi (with a total of 28213 records) that were accessible through the NLAI OPAC, named RASA. In this study, the data gathering methods were structured systematic observation and documentary approach. A checklist is used for data gathering, and a matrix is used to display the analyzed data.
FINDINGS:The results of the study showed that among the 544 relationship designators in appendices I, J, & M in RDA Toolkit (that includes 150 designators in appendix I, 346 designators in appendix J, and 48 designators in appendix M), 62 designators for appendix I, 175 designators for appendix J, and 48 designators for appendix M (In total, 285 designators) were detected in the selected NLAI metadata records. No relationship designators were detected in the selected NLAI metadata records in appendix I, for relationship designators related to "Publishers" and "Distributors" (in the Manifestation level), and in appendix J, for "Accompanying Manifestation Relationships". But other types of relationships were found to be existed.
In appendix I, the section of designators for "Publishers" and "Distributors" includes designators for non-book content objects (e.g. movies, radio & television programs, and so on) and don’t fit in the study population of this research, which are records of books. Therefore, it can be concluded that the study population has covered the variety of relationships provided for books in appendix I. The results also indicate the complete coverage of the relationship designators presented in Appendix M (subject relationships). In contrast, the study population does not provide a complete coverage of the relationships presented in appendix J (for "Accompanying Manifestation Relationships"). Finally, some of the limitations and drawbacks in the metadata records of the NLAI OPAC are mentioned.

One of the major goals of organizing and cataloging of works deals with retrieving other works related to them. This fulfills the collocation function of the library catalog. Since Persian literary works cover many related ones in the National Bibliography of Iran, therefore, cataloging of these works has great importance for catalo users. On the other hand, RDA is the new cataloging standard and is replacing the Anglo-American cataloging rules. The purpose of this research is to determine the degree of compatibility of RDA rules with the cataloging of Persian related works.
The research method is based on survey method using the evaluative techniques and on a comparative basis. The present research population is composed of 1125 bibliographical records of related works of Shahnameh in the National Bibliography of Iran of which, 4 groups of related works that were large in terms of application and had the most complete elements, were selected and analyzed. To answer the research question, four types of bibliographic records were selected from the related works of Shahnameh (Excerpt, Excerpt-Commentary, Commentary, and Excerpt-translation) which had been catalogued based on the Anglo-American Cataloging rules, 2ed edition. We studied the compatibility and non-compatibility of RDA rules applied to such works.
FINDINGS:RDA rules are compatible with related works of Shahnameh, Excerpt and Excerpt-Commentary at the rate of 91/66 percent and 90/90 percent with related works of Shahnameh, Commentary and Excerpt-translation. Thus, more than 90 percent of RDA rules were compatibile with the investigated records.
Based on the research findings, appropriate method for implementation of RDA rules is the comparative method; That is, the records that currently exist based Anglo-American rules in the National Bibliography of Iran should be saved and compared with RDA rules and this standard should be implemented on them. The implementation of RDA requires relevant fields in the previous created records. The records that are currently available in the National Bibliography of Iran are incomplete and have shortcomings that should be reviewed and completed for implementation of RDA. It is also suggested that during research, the degree of adaptation of related works in other disciplines with the rules of RDA, such as history and laws, which have many related works, should be studies.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the aspects of using RDA rules in institutional knowledge management process. Knowledge management includes the total procedures needed for management of organizational knowledge. Regarding the importance of information organization elements, this research is to examine knowledge management category and consider the role of librarians and information science experts in knowledge management.
In this research, the role and the function of the modern information organization rules on the promotion and optimization of the knowledge management process have been determined. Furthermore, the represented models at knowledge management cycles and the role of information organization (as an interface at this process) have been studied. Then, the effective descriptive elements on “Nonaka & Takeuchi” model have been identified as one of the prominent models at knowledge management through Resource Description and Access (RDA). Finally, the core elements related to the knowledge management process and the importance of the related concepts have been represented in order to be used at knowledge management cycle of the organization.
Findings: This study showed that organization concept exists in different knowledge management models and focusing on it could improve objective and operating aspects of this models. Also, it seems the RDA helps homogeneity, consistency and better institutional information retrieval in knowledge management process which will happen by using RDA in institutional knowledge repositories.

Generating bibliographic records to describe and analyze information resources has been an important library activity from past to present. Despite the changes in information carriers as well as storage and retrieval processes and users information seeking behaviors, resource description is still very important. The changes resulting from new technologies in information organization stems from users’ need to rapid and accurate access to information resources. In other word, users are interested in remote and full text resources and to meet this library catalogs should be responsible as an interface between users and library resources. Accordingly, it`s very necessary to change information organization methods and use from new methods to describing and analyzing documents. For this reason, simultaneously with expand using of web-based and internet technologies, information organization area experts tried to change information organization methods and started this work with cataloging rules. Today, the Resource Description and Access (RDA) Standard is developed for this new environment and different libraries in the world replace previous cataloging rules (Anglo-American) with this new one. In this article and through a review of the related literature, the developments process of cataloging rules and the story of developing new bibliographic methods and standards with emphasis on the Library of Congress activities are described. RDA is a better and more responding standard for the description and access to library resources. Knowing this help Iranian specialists to decide how using RDA rules in Iran.

Exploring differences bwteen description of Internet resources using RDA with AACR for description of biliogrphic elements in such resources. Design/Methododology/Approach: comparison has been made between areas 1، 9 and 12 of the latest edition of AACR2 (2002 ed.، revision of 2004) and areas 1 to 7 of RDA. Little deference observed between AACR and RDA with regard to the proper title. GMD in AACR been replaced by 3 items (media type، carrier type and content type) in RDA. Few deferences noticed between AACR and RDA in Statement of responsibility، edition، size، publication place، publisher name، publication date، serial and notes. Following items are some of new items in RDA: mode of access، access restriction on access، restrictions on use، system requirements، summarization of the content، content language، contact information and Internet URL. AACR compatibilty with regard to descriptive areas of Internet resources between RDA and AACR was 71. 87%. Cataloging Internet resources in RDA is simple and complete compared to AACR.

This study aims to identify the descriptive data and bibliographic relationships applied in the bibliographic records of digital libraries of Iran. The accordance rate of these descriptive data, which have been created according to Anglo American Cataloging Rules, is measured by Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard. Design/Methodology/Approach: The present study enjoys practical descriptive-survey method. The method of data collection is observation and analysis. The data gathering tools consist of 3 checklists. This study identifies that the elements associated with the areas like "the artist title and description", "the type of resource ", "the publication areas" and "the Physical description area" are mostly applied among the 8 bibliographic description areas. The survey on bibliographic relationships applied in the bibliographic records of digital libraries show that the Equivalence Relationship and Derivative Relationship are widely used and the application of Accompanying Relationship and Sequential Relationship are at a minimum. Comparing the characteristics of the entities of “work, expression, manifestation and item” based on Resource Description and Access (RDA) Standard with the descriptive data present in bibliographic records in digital libraries prove that most of the characteristics defined in the entities of “work, expression and item” are not available in the mentioned records, but about the characteristics of the entity of “manifestation” a little accordance with the mentioned records is available. Considering the fact that each of the characteristics of the entities of Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard is defined based on the requirements defined in its 2 basic conceptual models i.e. Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) and each of them can cover some of these requirements, the concept and function of each required data element needs to be specificallydefined and classified, therefore they can be properly applied in bibliographical records.

This study investigated the applicability of the Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard in the Library, Museum and Document Center of Iran Parliament.Methodology/Approach: This study was a descriptive survey which employed an evaluation checklist to collect the data. The sample for the study included 156 elements of the listing worksheet of historical documents of the Document Center of Iran Parliament. It was established that only 56 of the descriptive elements included in the worksheet were based on the expert's views. The data of the study was analyzed using descriptive statistics. There was 22.1 % correspondence between the listing worksheet and the elements of Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard. In other words, only 27 elements of the worksheet correspond to the 122 elements of the RDA standard. The findings of the study showed that the listing worksheet of the Document Center of Iran Parliament attends to analytic and systemic elements, but descriptive elements are less attended to. Resource Description and Access (RDA) standard is more applicable for the descriptive listing of archival sources. It is suggested that the document center of Iran parliament include the proposed 49 elements which are based on the core elements of RDA standard in their worksheet to improve the description and organization of their databases.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the applicability of Technology Acceptance Model in adopting RFID technology among academic librarians in Yazd and to determine the most important factors that affect the adoption of this technology. The study is a descriptive survey. Librarians from twenty four central and academic libraries including State Universities، Payame Noor University، Azad University، Higher Technical and Professional Training center، and Teacher Training center، and the Education Center for Applied Science were participated in this research. Data was collected by a researcher-made questionnaire. According to the findings، TAM is perceived to be applicable within the research community as received the final determining ratio of 0. 353. Variables including «perceived usefulness»، «perceived ease of use» and «attitude towards using» with the rate of 35. 3% confirm the possibility of deciding to use RFID technology within this population. Moreover، the contribution of these variables on behavioral intention is presented to be as 0. 44 for «perceived usefulness»، 0. 42 for «perceived ease of use» and 0. 09 for «attitude towards using». Originality/Value: A few researches have been conducted so far on technology adoption using causative models such as Technology Acceptance Model in libraries. Moreover، the studies on RFID technology adoption have been mostly conducted in organizations. Therefore، no research has been done on this subject before.

The goal of this research is to Investigate the status of Bibliographic Records In Iranian National Library`s OPAC in order to RDA Rules. This research is done through a survey method and with descriptive -analytical approach. The sample of this research is 1794 fields existed in 111 bibliographic records on Iranian history subject that cataloged in two years (1386, 1390). Findings show that there is existing coincidence between 88% fields of bibliographic records with RDA rules. The most bugs that are recognized are non- coincidence between 47.07% records and 11.20% fields with RDA, non- entering correct information in 31.38% records and 7.46% fields, non- entering information in correct fields in 12.41% records and 2/95% fields, cataloging errors in 5/15% records and 1.22% fields and type errors in 3.98% records and 0.94% fields. The most bugs except non-coincidence with RDA rules are more in 1386 than 1390. other one out put of this research is Mapping Table of Iran Mark- RDA that used for bibliographic records control.

The goal of this research is showing Cataloger's view of Three big Libraries in Mashhad (Astan Quds Library, Central Library of Ferdowsi University, and Central Library of Medical Sciences University of Mashhad) Toward Resource Description and Access Rules (RDA). Measuring the level of familiarity of catalogers with RDA and the level of acceptance it with them are from other goals of this research. The method of this research is experimental and was done based on pre-post test. The level of cataloger's familiarity with RDA in this research has measured in two ways: the personal comment and the actual test. Findings shows that level of personal comment familiarity with RDA before education is upper than middle and the level of actual familiarity before education is lower than middle. But after offering specialized education in a workshop about RDA findings shows the level of two kinds of familiarity are raising upper than middle. From other findings is the positive impact of education in acceptance level of RDA with catalogers. So, we can conclude that level of acceptance of RDA with catalogers has risen after education and in result of raised familiarity with these rules. According to the findings, there aren’t significant relationships between age, work experience of catalogers and their self-comment familiarity, actual familiarity and the level of acceptance of RDA with them. Catalogers also have demanded to make changes in library software's to better using of RDA in the future. They have requested to use from help capabilities to introduce the changes in cataloging rules, offering sufficient education to catalogers before Implementing RDA, coordinate cataloging worksheets, review in headings of information organization lessons and apply catalogers in the workgroup of software update.

This study was conducted to investigate the bibliographic relationships in the MARC and it’s consistency with the FRBR model. With establishing the necessary relations between bibliographic records, users will retrieve their necessary information faster and more easily. It is important to make a good communication in existing bibliographic records to help users to find what they need. This study’s purpose was to define the relationships between bibliographic records in the National Library's OPAC database and the study’s method was descriptive content analysis approach. In this study, the online catalog (OPAC) National Library of Iran has been used to collect information. All records with the mentioned criteria listed in the final report of the IFLA bibliographic relations about the first group entities in FRBR model and RDA rules has been implemented and analyzed. According to this study, if software has been developed in which the data transferring was based on the conceptual model and the MARC’s data that already exists in the National Library's bibliographic database, these relationships will not be transferable. Withal, in this study the relationships on consistent FRBR and MARC concluded with an intelligent mind and the machine is unable to detect them. The results of this study showed that the relations which conveyed from MARC to FRBR, was about 47/70 percent of the MARC fields, in other hand by FRBR to MARC with the use of all intelligent efforts, and diagnosis of MARC relationships, only 31/38 percent of the relations can be covered through the MARC. But based on real data and usable fields in Boostan-e-Saadi with MARC pattern, records on the National Library of Iran showed that the results reduced to 16/95 percent.

This research aimed at identifying the extent to which cataloguers were familiar with RDA, how ready they were to accept these rules, and how training may affect this. Methodology/Approach: The familiarity of 49 cataloguers working in the Cataloging in Publication (CIP) section of the National Library of Iran with RDA was evaluated using two methods i.e. self-reporting (personal opinion) and actual familiarity (using open questions) before and after training. Their acceptance of these rules was also studied. The cataloguers’ self-reporting about their familiarity with RDA before being trained indicate a higher than average level of familiarity while their actual level of familiarity was lower than average. After being trained their familiarity – both self-reported and actual – was higher than average. Furthermore, the existence of a significant difference between self-reported familiarity, actual familiarity and level of acceptance by cataloguers was also studied according to sex, education, age, and cataloguing experience. There was no significant difference between the cataloguers’ self-reported and actual familiarity with RDA except for cataloguers with different levels of education i.e. before and after being trained, the self-reported familiarity of cataloguers with a master’s degree was higher than the self-reported familiarity of cataloguers with a bachelor’s; furthermore, the actual familiarity of cataloguers with a master’s degree was higher than the actual familiarity of cataloguers with a bachelor’s degree.

Today more information resources are published in electronic and digital formats and they are available on the web. The production, distribution and storage of information are easily possible on the Web but theie retrieval is a challenge to the user. Researchers in various fields, including library and Web designer’s communities, are thinking about the solutions to solve these problems. Developing the Resource Description and Access (RDA) by the Joint Steering Committee as a successor of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition, base on conceptual models and International cataloging rules developed by the IFLA and the emergence of the Semantic Web and its models, including Resource Description Framework (RDF) by The World Wide Web Consortium are examples of solutions to provide efficient description of information resources and present the conceptual relationship between them on the web environment. This study attempts to make librarians and catalogers familiar with RDA, Semantic web and RDF, one of the standards of semantic web. It also attempts to adapt entities and vocabularies of RDA in RDF that was based on cooperation between the Joint Steering Committee and the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative. In the end the eXtensible Catalog which has been designed based on RDA, FRBR and RDF is introduced. Also, the basic attention to the underlying structure and models of RDA and similarities that this standard has with RDF in information storage and retrieval for increasing functionality of information retrieval systems have been analyzed.

the purpose of this research is to determine the compatibility of Resource Description and Access (RDA) rules related recordings of attributes of first and second groups of FRBR with Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) the research population includes primary and secondary parts, and attributes of the Metadata Object Description Schema (MODS) on the one hand; and Resource Description and Access rules related recording of attributes of first and second groups of FRBR on the other hand. The research used comparative method to gather needed data on both aspects of the study, to check how are compatible these two aspects, and to produce eXtensible Markup Language (XML) tags for providing descriptive information of different resources according to the Resource Description and Access (RDA). in general, 440 rules were identified and analyzed from the current RDA chapters 2-11. 440 MODS–oriented tags were compatible with RDA rules. The present research shows that all of the RDA rules related recording of attributes of first and second groups of FRBR are compatible with MODS and equivalents could be found in MODS for information extracted from the RDA rules. To make compatible RDA rules with MODS, more than one primary part should be used in some of the rules; especially those that are usually manipulated for providing access points to different entities. out of the 20 primary parts of MODS, 16 were used in this research. These 16 parts were selected according to the first and second entity groups in FRBR. Findings indicated that there is a full compatibility between RDA rules and MODS; and one would either be able to describe the information of a given resource in RDA or MODS. Findings are in fact a mixture of primary and secondary parts, specifications and values of RDA compatibilized with MODS. They would also be able to act as a model for describing Persian resources.. Finally, the research shows examples of Persian records randomly retrieved from the national bibliography which have been described according to the recommended tags.

The future web generation is the semantic web which creates interaction and cooperation between the man and the computer through mobilization of data with determined ontological elements. In other words, semantic web is a kind of coding and information retrieval in a way that the machines (computer) would manage to process and comprehend data. In this article, information is collected by literature review regarding World Wide Web. Then, the necessity to create semantic web, advantages and problems of semantic web, using technologies such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Resource Description Framework(RDF), and web ontology, as the most important issues of semantic web, have also been taken into consideration. the results show that the ontologies are considered the spin of semantic web. Semantic web, using ontologies through providing conceptual structure for data, makes the ground work for correlated computers to intelligently find and furnish the researchers with the data. With the formation of semantic web, digital libraries can be based on meaning, and create major revolution in information retrieval. So access to online databases is provided.

Modern library catalogs are not just a simple listing of information sources to show the location of library resources, rather, catalogs are expected to facilitate research for library users. Accordingly, current library catalogs formed based on AACR2 are unable to respond to the user's needs for accessing digital full text resources in the new environments. In order to overcome mismatch problems of AACR with digital and networked environments, the Joint Steering Committee (JSC) decided to develop and publish a new standard named "Resource Description and Access (RDA). This standard is in coordination with AACR and formed two IFLA conceptual models named "Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR)" and "Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD)". According to decisions of the international community of information organizations for changing cataloging rules, it is necessary to prepare the essential basis for replacing AACR with RDA.

In the present age, with emergence of information technology and changes in all parts of libraries, new problems and challenges have appeared, turning the management of them into a complex task.. One way for improving library management sys using new information technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification RFID. Through establishing RFID based systems in the libraries, maximum possible equipments for libraries management in all areas are provided and qualitative and quantitative dimensions and library services will realize. Among the most important reasons for using this system are automatic application of necessary rules for library management, qualitative change of the employees and their job a and guidance of members, removing repetitive tasks of librarians, high efficiency in protecting resources and providing services of circulation desk automatically, availability of comprehensive information on book inventory (number of given books and inventory, their location and …) Reviewing history and application of RFID, this paper emphasizes on necessity of using this system in libraries and deals with how to use this system in libraries, introduces necessary benefits of administering this system.
