Background and Objectives: Researchers benefit from each other's ideas, thoughts and speech more through writings. The purpose of this research is to review, analyze and criticize the sources of documented Recorded of knowledge history to help research on this issue.Methodology: This research is a kind of qualitative research in which the library method and critical analysis are used.Findings: Historical studies in library and information science can be counted mainly in these few categories. 1- Recorded knowledge including all types of documents such as books, dissertations, periodicals, research projects, audio tapes, Video tapes, multimedia files in linear, printed and electronic form. 2- Libraries, institutions and organizations active in relation to Recorded knowledge. 3- Library and Information science, such as librarianship, information, education, research, theoretical aspects, branches and subfields, concepts and vocabulary, and related scientific organizations. 4- The profession of librarianship and information, including the profession of librarianship and information, librarians and its professional organizations (Rahadost, 2016). Recorded knowledge, as the main subject of library and information science, has received many historical studies. Identifying, analyzing and criticizing the different aspects of these scattered studies among historical texts will guide the researchers to the single subject of the Recorded knowledge history. Historical sources of Recorded knowledge include: history of writing and books, history of information, history of information technology, Historiography and Recorded knowledge, history of printing and publishing, history of publications, history of translation, historiography and history of study. Calligraphy is the main source of Recorded knowledge and the book is the first type of it. The history of recorded knowledge has been considered as the history of books and literature since the distant past. Books and writing started from the East and Mesopotamian civilizations and reached its peak in the West, and its history was noted. Publications, theses, research projects, scientific and literary conferences, etc. are also very important in their place. Today, the most recent and most scientific achievements are found in magazine articles and conferences, and their historical review is of particular importance. Translation is one of the ways to spread and transfer Recorded knowledge, which widens the narrow circle of those who know a language. The history of translation has been of interest to researchers for a long time and there are many works on this subject in Iran, which are mostly about the Qajar period, and it is worthy that the translation from the ancient period and the contemporary period should be considered. Information history includes all types of information. But in most cases it has been used instead of recorded knowledge history. This issue is sometimes due to the authors' inattention, but it is more related to the importance of the recorded knowledge history, which has caused the general topic to be used to name a more detailed topic. In Iran, the aspects other than the Recorded knowledge of the history of information have rarely been paid attention to. Technology, especially information technology, has a long history. The range of information technologies includes writing, writing instruments, paper, printing, computer hardware, computer software, computer memory, computer networks, graphics, multimedia, and more. The use of images in recorded knowledge has been one of the important technologies of recording and recording knowledge since the emergence of writing and even before that, and there is a place to deal with the history of graphics and images in historical research. Today, images, graphics, and moving images play an important role in Recorded knowledge. Many historical works have boldly expressed the role of technology. But the fact is that these technologies should always be used for a purpose and as a tool that records Recorded knowledge and should not be superior to the content and content of knowledge. Some researches examine the quantity and quality of Recorded knowledge production such as the production of books and other documents and printed and non-printed media, they are mostly based on statistics and sometimes they also analyze factors and topics. Of course, the quantity, quality, and priority of the subject indicate the political, cultural, social, and economic conditions at the time and place of the research.Discussion: Review or historiographical of Recorded knowledge history has not been done before in Iran. With the emergence of historical works about information, Recorded knowledge, Library and information science, professions and institutions related to Library and information, the need to review and analyze these texts is also obvious. The history of libraries has received more attention, but it alone cannot fill the place of historical subjects in Library and information science. In the history of Recorded knowledge, some topics have been neglected and received less attention. The historical study of reading is one of the neglected topics. The history of study can examine the individual and social effects of study and the effect of study and reading on individual and social developments. About the history of thesis writing among millions of print, non-print and electronic sources, we do not come across many results. The history of the entry, production and use of compact discs in Iran's Recorded knowledge also does not have many sources.

Review:Objective: This research introduces the term and concept of recorded knowledge history and the importance of studying and examining it with the aim of understanding the subject. What is the place of history in librarianship and information? Why the term Recorded knowledge history used for this field of study? What is the need for research in this field?Research Method: The method of this article is theoretical and analytical and terminology, etymology and historical analysis of the use of terms and concepts are used. This research is interdisciplinary.Findings: The origin and roots of the Recorded knowledge History and related concepts have been obtained and the necessity of using the term Recorded knowledge history to name this field and the concept of the history of Recorded knowledge has been expressed using the opinions of thinkers. Also, the benefits and advantages of Recorded knowledge history are shown in this article. "Dabir" is a Sumerian word that originated in the Persian language from the Achaemenid period and was used in the form of DP, and DUb, meaning is tablet. The words, Divan aand Modavan derived from it. Therefore, the term "Modavan" means that it has ancient roots in the depths of history, and Recordeded Knowledge in the word means knowledge that is collected and written somewhere and preserved in some way.Discussion and Conclusion: The origin of Recorded knowledge and related term is from Mesopotamian civilization and the words knowledge and civil are very old and deep-rooted terms and the Recorded knowledge history is an important field of cultural history that is studied in the field ofLIbrary and information science. This concept has been studied with other terms before and in this research the accessibility and maturity of the term written history has been discussed. The study of the Recorded knowledge History brings achievements for Library and information science and links with other sciences that deal with social and cultural studies. Examining this important part of human history acquaints young and popular scholars with an aspect of Library and information science and its attractions, and creates pleasure in readers.

This research attempted to investigate the e-readiness of academic libraries in Ahvaz from the viewpoints of their directors and librarians to identify their strengths and weaknesses in terms of e-readiness dimensions, and to offer suggestions to improve their services. The research is of a descriptive-analytic type and a survey method was used. This study used Noorafruz, Hariri, and Hanafizadeh model (2010) and the model based on IUP (Mutula & Van Brakel, 2006) presented by Noroozi and Jafarpur (2011) as well as the international STOPE model used in Badamchi Wayghan (2012) to formulate three questionnaires. The validity of the questionnaires was determined using facial validity method and the reliability of the questionnaires was measured through Cronbach’s Alpha. Descriptive statistics including frequency, frequency percentage and mean were used. To determine the normality of distribution of the data, Kolmogorov-Smirinov test was applied. To measure the e-readiness dimensions of the libraries One-sample t-test was used. Findings showed that in general, the libraries are at “medium’ level in e-readiness. The libraries were not significantly different in terms of different dimensions of e-readiness; however, directors were significantly different in their e-readiness. It seems that libraries need to reconsider every aspects of e-readiness to reach a level of readiness appropriate for the information society of today. Since it is important to pave the path for every dimension of e-readiness to serve the clients better, library directors and university chancellors must focus on these dimensions.
