Purpose: This study aimed to inform that familiarity of librarian of Iranian national library about critical theory. Methodology: This is a descriptive study. In this study, data collection tools provided by (Hollister and Schroeder, 2014). Analysis tools are descriptive statistics and inferred statistics. Findings: The findings showed that librarians did not have much familiarity about critical theorists (57%) but they had familiarity with social issues and critical activities related to library and information science (44%). 53 percent showed Marxist Criticism and Post Colonialism were more associated with critical theory. 51 percent of librarian had the same option in that role of libraries, the nature of librarianship, role of educational institutions and students/library users were the most important activities in critical theory related to library science. Conclusion: The hypothesis showed that there were significant relationship between librarians and the most important activities in the library science. Discussion: Thus, this seem that all of the librarian should be familiarity with concepts of critical theory and it is necessary to include the critical theory concepts in the course of library and information science.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is answering to the question whether FRBR have a semiotic structure? Can FRBR model Be evaluated on the basis of semiotics?Method: conceptual analysis. Concepts of models by two prominent theorist semiotics field, "Saussure and Pierce" has been studied and the comparative study of the concepts discussed in these models with FRBR's entities and relationships.Results: Study the principles and concepts of Saussure and Pierce in FRBR Revealed that work and expression entities can be considered as a sign. Based on the dyadic model of Saussure has two aspects, mental content as the signifier and meaning as the signified which together make. The work as a sign can influence other signs and produce a new meaning. FRBR's entities also have capabilities matching to Pierce's triad model. When person show their mental ideas, work entity is created. The work created in the face of different people creates different expression .Similarly, expression entity when presented in different formats is held as items. FRBR's entities have the same function as the signs.

Aim: This study aimed at mapping the scientific structure of Iran biology as appeared in Science Citation Index (SCI) during 1990 to 2008 via Co-citation Analysis method.Method: 50 authors who were the most cited in 2121 articles which at least Iran was mentioned in their affiliation, were examined using factor analysis method and mapping techniques.Findings: The results showed Iranian scientific outputs in biology followed a high growth rate equal to 29.8. Factor analysis showed 11 Factors and scientific mapping revealed that there were 8 clusters in Iran Biology including: Pharmacology and clinical pharmacology, immunology, biology, physics, evolutionary biology, applied biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, and cell biology.Conclusion: 1. In Iran, the area of “Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” are more considered by researchers than other areas; 2. The Iranian researchers of Biology have a medium position in the scientific map of this branch of knowledge.
