This study aims to determine the capabilities of GIS in mapping of library performance indicators at Tehran University of medical sciences and Shahid Beheshti University of medical sciences.
The descriptive research method was used to carry out this research. All central and college libraries in Tehran university of medical sciences and Shahid Beheshti university of medical sciences were selected in sampling. Selected six performance indicators in this study cover broad categories in the library various fields such as: facilities, staff, collections, and expenditures, that required data for calculating them gathered with questionnaire. Finally the data analysis was conducted using ArcGIS version 9.3.
Findings: ArcGIS software has capability of displaying performance indicators in the format clear images to conduct suitable analysis, in other words displaying these indicators in the form of graphs and tables not only makes analyzing difficult but also it is lacks the precision and generalization.
The maps applied for performance indicator analysis with GIS, like a road map to guide people according to their needs and respond to various questions, so they can extract much analysis from these maps; in addition, data analysis is just one of the GIS capabilities among the numerous capabilities

This research is an attempt to examine the spatial distribution and physical placement of public libraries in Rasht through a descriptive-analytical method using GIS. The work is an applied research with a descriptive-analysis approach which has been performed in GIS Software environment based on criteria taken from City hall services authorized by mayoralty of Rasht city. the research indicates that the public libraries in Rasht city are not distributed in accordance to the residents’ needs. Additionally, the Research approves the lack of enough libraries in Rasht city. Total population of Rasht equals 639957 peoples that per these population, only 12 libraries exist. Also, for giving useful recommendations for the place of libraries, fourteen information layers were prepared and analyzed by ARCGIS software, GIS Application, and AHP model to catch appropriate locations for building libraries in five different regions in Rasht city. Originality/Value: This work gets useful information to policy makers of Iran Public Libraries Foundation about Physical Distribution of public libraries of Rasht city and helps them to select better sites for establishing new libraries.

The main objective of this study is to examine the location of public libraries in the fourth region of Tehran، based on the centrality and compatibility criteria، and to suggest more suitable locations for building new libraries. A database of data collected in GIS environment was formed. According to predetermined criteria، the maps were prepared separately. Based on the layers overlap the situation of existing libraries was evaluated. And in the final map appropriate locations for new library buildings are proposed. The results revealed that existing libraries are in relatively good shape with regard to factors relating to centrality and compatibility criteria. But in terms of factors relating to incompatibility with library applications، existing libraries are somewhat disadvantaged. According to the findings the geographical distribution of these libraries is not appropriate. Based on the findings there are potentially better locations in this region for the establishment of libraries. These suggested locations are marked in white in the final map. Originality/Value: Considering the Fourth Five-Year Plan of development، it is necessary to build libraries in the fourth region of Tehran before starting to build a new library. It is important that the appropriate location is determined. Results with respect to the centrality and compatibility criteria suggest the construction of libraries in locations that will serve more people، in relaxed and appropriate environments.
