This research explores the experiences of senior faculty members of Shiraz University. In addition, it designs and illustrates the model of documentation research ideas among senior faculty members.

This is an applied research in terms of objective and To achieve the desired goal, a qualitative approach and a systematic design of Grounded Theory were used. The statistical population of the study includes all retired professors of Shiraz University and also professors who are in the last three years of retirement in this university. 25 faculty members of Shiraz University were interviewed through a semi-structured method. The sampling method of this research is the sequential method of snowball (chain reference). In an introductory interview, the researcher began an interview with a key sample of Shiraz University faculty members who had a wealth of information on the subject; Then, with reference to a series of referrals from the participant in question, request the introduction of other faculty members who were eligible for the interview. Then, the data was analyzed within three stages of coding: open، axial and selective. At last, the findings were drawn in the form of theorems and paradigm model.

Findings showed that the internal and external motivations of idea documentation, including fear of forgetfulness, idea permanence, facilitating the use of the idea and becoming famous, have provided the tendency to document research ideas for faculty members. To document the idea, they used manual and electronic documentation. Also, contextual and environmental conditions Include individual and organizational plans and considerations, and intervening and mediating conditions include respect for intellectual property rights and institutionalization and structuring affected the quality of manual and electronic documentation. There are also two approaches, individual (protection of ideas) and extra-individual (development and maturity of knowledge production, intellectual and information synergy), that are the results and consequences of the process of documenting ideas.

According to the findings, it can be said that achieving organizational goals requires a strong and fundamental organizational culture. Universities as scientific centers really need a rich culture. Therefore , One of the required cultures of universities is the culture of documenting research ideas; so, they should create the culture of documenting research ideas. Also, in order to increase the tendency of faculty members to document research ideas, it is important to provide the necessary context, including the establishment of a separate center for documenting research ideas, training and education of aware and expert manpower; Also, it is necessary to consider appropriate tools for documenting ideas.

The research was to study the attributes of seals in identity documents and to present a suggested pattern for information organization of seals. This was an applied study performed by using documentary study and descriptive survey.Data were gathered by analyzing 8 main works related to seals and identify documents of seals in 7 museums inside and 45 ones outside of Iran. The importance of each element was evaluated through implementation of Delphi technique. Based on the findings, a pattern was suggested for organization and documentation of seals and for preparing identity documents in museums. The proposed elements and standard bibliographic elements (MARC & DC) were studied comparatively. Findings showed there was no suitable pattern for organizing information of seals in the museums. Based on findings, 102 elements in 18 sub-groups and 2 main groups of “descriptive” and “management” were identified for organization and documentation of information of museum Seals .Comparison of 102 suggested elements with elements of MARC21 showed there were no definite fields for 33 proposed elements in MARC21 and no equivalents for 46 proposed elements in Dublin Core(DC). Therefore, the standards werenot suitable enough for organization and documentation of information of museum seals, The results can help in integrating and facilitating the organization of information and documentation of museum seal. Suggested pattern can be applied for codifying identity documents of seals. Elements can be used in extensive and accurate information retrieval, information validation, management and providing appropriate context for research in the fields of seals and information organization.

Documentation is one of the most important issues in knowledge management. The purpose of this study is to find barriers to documenting the experiences of librarians.

This present research is applied in terms of purpose and library research and field techniques are used in terms of data collection method. In terms of method, this research is one of the descriptive combined researches that been done through Delphi survey and content analysis (Colaizzi method). The statistical population of this research includes the staff of public libraries South Khorasan province in which 20 members of the community have been selected as a sample. A questionnaire was used to collect data. Spss software was used to analyze the data of the first stage of Delphi Colaizzi method and the data of the second round of Delphi by descriptive statistic (means and percentage) and also for the analysis of statistical data.

The results of the analysis of the interviews reached 43 cods after review and comparison. In the final review, these cods were included in 6 main indicators. In fact, 43 initial obstacles were identified, which were located in 6 main obstacles. The results indicate that a set of cultural, educational, personal, infrastructural, regulatory and technological barriers prevent staff and information experts from documenting experience. According to analysis, individual barriers are closely related to other barriers.

The subject of research and method of conducting this research are original. By documenting the experiences, the knowledge and experiences of the employees of the relevant organization are prevented from leaving and also, this document can be used as a reference source for the future work of the organization, and modeling it will greatly help the optimization and development of the organization (libraries).

In today’s knowledge society, it is vital to use the experiences gained by directors and chancellors of organizations and their experts for Succession and educating new directors. But unfortunately, in higher education and especially in research centers and institutes, despite the important role of experience, it is neglected to document experiences and the tacit knowledge inherent in experiences for several reasons such as: lack of culture of writing, vagueness of the concept of organizational experience, lack of a proper method for documentation and sharing it, and lack of legal and supportive infrastructure. Accordingly, efforts should be made to extract accumulated knowledge in the minds of Chancellors and deputies of research centers and institutes, by documentation of experiences, so it will be possible to share knowledge and experience among new Chancellors and deputies. Therefore, the knowledge stored in research centers and institutes become a permanent usable resource. Based on this, the study by examining the status of organizational experiences documentation of Chancellors and deputies of research centers and institutes, develop a model for this important issue.The purpose of this study was to identify the status of documenting the organizational experiences of research institutes and centers, using mixed-method.

This research is developmental and applied research. In this research, according to the subject and nature of the research, the research method was mixed method and exploratory. In qualitative section, interview was used for data gathering. The questions of interview selected through literature review and consultation with some experts. It is notable that the interviews were semi-structured. Participants in qualitative section were experienced experts (Chancellors and deputies of research centers and institutes), theoretical experts (experts in the field of higher education), and experts in the field of experiences documentation. Some participants were experts in two or three fields of expertise. After implementing the interviews, an open coding method was used to analyze the qualitative data. Then, by calculating the reliability and validity, based on the gathered data, a questionnaire was developed. In the next phase, validity and reliability (by calculating Cronbach’s alpha) of questionnaire were confirmed and the questionnaire sent to the statistical population of the study (including all Chancellors and deputies, Heads of Offices of Chancellors and deputies, and Heads of Public Relations in research centers and institutes affiliated by the Ministry of Science and Technology and Research). Also, in quantitative phase, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the collected data.

The results indicated that men had more positive attitude toward documenting their experiences than women, and the attitude of those with more than 10 years of service experience was better than those with less than 10 years of service. The existing status of research institutes was also negative in terms of documenting the experience in the true sense, but documenting approvals and consultations based on experiences in council meetings was partly done. Concerning the sharing of tacit knowledge and experiences is also the central focus of the individual factors of the members of research institutes to share organizational knowledge and experience with colleagues. Internal and external factors play a supporting role in the sharing of tacit knowledge and experience, and faculty member is the ultimate decision-maker in tacit knowledge sharing based on his or her own knowledge abilities and individual and personality factors.

According to the results, if Ministry of Science, Research and Technology would like to document organizational experiences, and to avoid trial and error at research institutions, it is suggested that the real will for documentation of experiences be developed in Higher Education Directors. Also, policy and legal and judicial issues in this regard be developed.  The issue be emphasized at the summit of heads of universities and research institutes. The Ministry of Science send an announcement and call for documentation of organizational and management documentation; however, due to the issues such as university autonomy and academic features, it cannot be treated in a cohesive manner. Also, it is suggested that the Ministry of Science establish the necessity for policy and supportive, legal and legal infrastructure, and, if necessary, requests it from the three branches of the powers and takes the necessary approvals. It is suggested that the issue of documentation of organizational experience be included in the appointment of all chancellors of research institutions. Through the Board of Trustees, the subject of documentation of organizational experiences be cited as mission or vision. Finally, it is suggested to set up supportive and incentive laws (such as financial or spiritual, promotion laws, etc.) to support documentary makers and users of experiences.

Indigenous knowledge is an experiential, verbal and mental knowledge. It is difficult to compile because the implied knowledge is hidden and is neglected and subject to destruction with the advent of modern science and the progress of societies. This study aimed to propose and provide a protocol to document, preserve and promote South Khorasan villagers’ indigenous knowledge in rural libraries.

Grounded theory method was performed. Data were collected based on a semi-structured interview from 3 different samples, including a sample of 20 rural males and 10 rural females, a sample of 8 rural librarians, and finally a sample of 3 governmental officers informed in indigenous knowledge in South Khorasan province. The study validity was confirmed by peer feedback, detailed and rich explanations, and external reviewers. The study reliability was strengthened by imaging and sound recording and verbatim taking notes along with transliteration.

Based on the results, many organizations are able to work in order to preserve and promote indigenous knowledge. In the meantime, as rural libraries are the nearest centers for preserving knowledge in the country, they can motivate and increase the professional, technical, research and verbal skills of their librarians, and play a coordinating role among other organizations, with documentation of indigenous knowledge in both digital and print formats. The yielded protocol was the most important outcome of this study which was based on four principles of expertise, commitment, interaction and balance, and in which ten stages, including identification, selection, learning, communication, action, implementation, monitoring, recording, organization and access were offered to document, preserve and promote indigenous knowledge of villagers in rural libraries of South Khorasan.

Paying attention to the role of the libraries, especially rural libraries, is a new subject in documenting, preserving or disseminating indigenous knowledge and proposing a protocol for this aim can be beneficial and applicable in Iran.

The aim of this research is to find (recognize) the effect of keywords documentation by using Persian medical thesaurus in citing articles from IranMedex and Madlib databases.

In terms of its aim, this research is practical; and is done semi-experimental methods. To assess the relevance of search results, using both ordinary language and documented keywords with Persian medical thesaurus is observed and recorded in the table, by the Guilan University of Medical Science and also a researcher.

Based on the obtained results, the significance level of the test for both Iranmedex and Medlib databases isrespectively 492% and 367%, according to standardized and ordinary languages. Based on this, there is no significant difference between rate of cited articles with ordinary language and standardized keywords in IranMedex and Medlib databases.

Documentation of keywords in the Iranmedex database has no significant effect on the precision of cited information. Also, documentation of keywords in the Medlib database has no significant effect on the precision of cited information. Documentation of keywords in the Iranmedex database has a negative effect on the Recall of cited information. Documentation of keywords in both Iranmedex and Mddlib database has no effect on the rate of cited articles.

Investigating the role and place of “documentation” in public knowledge management models.
By using qualitative systematic review, six public knowledge management models were chosen for analysis.
Findings: The findings showed that the term “documentation” has been emphasized in all of these six models by theorists; in “Hicks”, “Beckman” and “Bukowitz & Williams” models it has been emphasized directly but in the others (McElroy, 7C, and Nonaka & Takuechi) indirectly. The “Nonaka & Takeuchi” model is the model that focused on “documentation” in two steps.
Seating element documentation in public KM models can reflect the view of KM model planners to discuss the appropriateness of the position of a component model (documentation) in a whole unit (knowledge management model) was considered.

Background/aim. Employees, as the most important assets of an organization, acquire a great deal of experience, skills and knowledge throughout the time period they work for the organization. If their skills and technical knowledge are not documented properly, they will be lost as soon as employees leave the organization. Therefore, documentation is necessary in order to preserve this invaluable knowledge, avoid duplication and repeated mistakes occurred in the past.Thus, this research elaborates on the role of organizational knowledge management as an essential tool for sharing the gained experience with others.
Methodology. This research is developmental applied research with qualitative approach and it was conducted using thematic analysis method.This method includes a semi-structured interview with 18 researchers conducting research projects at satellite research institute under the supervision of Iran Space Agency.
Findings. The projects contain knowledge that is a combination of “know why”, “know what”, “know who” and “know how”. A large amount of this knowledge is the tacit knowledge. Most of this tacit knowledge is not reflected in the project documents.
Conclusion. Considering the necessity of documentation within the knowledge transfer process and its important role in knowledge management; some steps need to be taken in order to make the knowledge sharing an organizational culture in institute, Such steps include holding introductory seminars for experts and managers to explain the importance of preserving and sharing the knowledge, conducting training classes for technical documentation,focusing on the intellectual property of writers,to establish and increase trust among the Institute personnel.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the present situation of Iranian University Libraries in case of experience and knowledge documentation and documentation barriers in order to present solutions for documentation of experience and knowledge in Iranian academic libraries. This research was a descriptive-analytic type and the data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was measured through content validity technique, and its reliability was measured by calculating Cronbach’s Alpha which rendered an alpha of 0.82 (α=0.82). The questionnaire was distributed among 88 managers of the central libraries under study. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics such as (frequency tables, and calculating percentages, mean, and standard deviation of the variables) as well as inferential statistics techniques (Friedman and t-test).
Findings: Findings of the study indicated that libraries’ condition of documentation is relatively unsuitable, while the data showed that managers are highly aware of this matter. Lack of motivation in managers, different management styles, lack of knowledge about the ways of documentation, and its nature and quiddity were identified as the most important barriers to documentation. The result of a t-test showed that there were not significant differences between the viewpoints of the central library managers of universities under the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, and the Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education regarding documentation.

To identify behavioral and cultural factors and the mechanisms of recording manager's experiences in Documents Center of Astan Quds Razavi.Methodology/Approach: 17 senior experts and managers working in document center of Astan Quds Razavi were surveyed using a self-designed questionnaire. There is a significant difference between the current and the ideal situations considering behavioral and cultural factors variables. The "support and management of high-level managers" is the most important variable and "rewarding" is the least (1.5%). However, in the ideal situation, the "individual's transformation and dynamism for improvement" variable has the highest importance (6.1%). Regarding the mechanisms for recording experiences, "exhibition and workshops" variable gets the highest (2.9%) and "appointing a day or a week for introducing experienced ones" variable gets the lowest rank (1.9%).Again in the ideal situation, two variables of "establishing documentation centers in organizations based on mission" and "the transfer of experience from retired staffs to successors" stand in the highest level (4.4%), whereas "preparing brochures and catalogues" is the least important factor (4%). Managers decide individually to record their experiences, while the positive attitude toward this manner in long term will result in a constructive culture in organizations.

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the viewpoints of the Iranian university library managers on documentation of experiences and knowledge in order to identify necessary infrastructures and mechanisms for documentation of experience and knowledge in Iranian academic libraries.
This research is applied, based on descriptive-analytical method. Data gathering tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that make based on literature review and confirmed its validity by experts. The questionnaire was distributed among 88 managers of the central libraries under study.
Findings: Findings of research indicated that in view of managers under study, 5 infrastructures and factors are necessary for documentation of experiences and knowledge in academic libraries, which are, in order of priority: structural, cultural, legal, technological and behavioral. Transfer of experiences to successor employees before retirement, being liable to having intellectual rights as experienced managers, creation of a documentary handbook of important experiences and actions taken in library, and publishing documented experiences in journals and or books were identified to development and improvement of documentation.
Originality: According to previous studies, this research to identify the necessary infrastructures in documentation of experience and knowledge for the first time. Also, the findings of this study could be starting point for documentation in the context of libraries and model is for other libraries and information centers.

The intent of the article is to review the background of historical studies with emphasis on such studies in Information science. This study has tried to analysis angles and positive aspects of more attention to this issue in the field. Approach of Research: This study is a theoretical one and also is an analytical review of the subject. Results showed that neglect of conduct such studies has led to some impairment in theoretical and practical atmosphere of the field; like some misplaced foresight. Also, the growing tendency of these studies in the field since nearly two decades ago has led to changes in theoretical perspective of LIS, such as renewing of Documentation concepts in theoretical atmosphere of the field. The need of Information Science to the theoretical work, paradigm shift, achieving conceptual discipline, identifying theoretical negligence in the discipline occurring in the past and representing it in order to correct it in the future, the necessity for the maturity of the discipline and accelerating the professionalism in the field are some reasons that calls for an urgent need for historical studies on the discipline's past.

This research has been carried out with the aim of improving the quality of the method for documentation of paper-based works and creating online databases through general-research IDs، conservation-repair IDs، and status forms. Methodology/Approach: The research method included library study، field study and study of electronic papers and books. This was carried out to study the background of documentation and the standard structure of digital documentation and presenting a standard pattern for paper-based works. The findings and conclusions of this research show that comprehensive documentation – preparing a standard ID for paper-based works – not only protects the data but is also an important and basic measure in risk management (as one of the strategies for preventive conservation). Furthermore، the database provides researchers and experts with online data about paper-based works immediately.

This study aims to investigate the common methods of organizing coins and bills in museums and to propose a coordinated system for the proper and integrated organization of these museum objects.Methodology/ Approach: The present study is based on descriptive survey method. The theoretical parts of this study have been conducted using library methods and the data has been collected using a survey methodology and through interviews that the researcher has conducted with the staff of museums containing coins and bills (in Iran and around the world). A total of 65 museum staff were interviewed (13 Iranian and 52 non-Iranian). The interviewees were selected from various museums containing coins and bills with regard to geographical distribution and global scope. The findings of the study indicate the lack of an integrated method for organizing coins and bills in museums. Based on the research findings, a coordinated system is suggested for the integrated organization of coins and bills at museums in Iran and around the world. The interviewees believed that a coordinated system would be efficient and practical. The findings of this study indicate that the integrated organization of coins and bills at museums through a coordinated system leads to enhanced management of coins and bills, improves collaboration and interaction between museums, and contributes to enhanced utilization of these museum objects. It is considered essential that the officials and managers of museums containing coins and bills take necessary measures to deal with this issue.
