Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the status of feasibility implementation of information architecture in public libraries in Kerman (dependent on the institution of the public libraries of the country). Methodology: The present study uses descriptive studies in a statistical sample of 62 people in nine public library staff in Kerman in the year 2015. Due to the limitation of the size of the community, do not store the samples and all the people were considered as statistical sample. collect information using validated researcher and validity (0.88 and 0.90).Findings: The test results showed Schapiro vilk research data of the normal distribution. Statistical data using spss software (EDI) 21 both description and analysis of case analysis. At the level of the frequency distribution tables using describe, average, standard deviation and deduce surface using a single sample t-test to verify assumptions and action. The results showed that none of the layers of information architecture in the general direction of the city of Kerman bookcases implement optimal information architecture in place. As well as for the implementation of information architecture using similarity to ideal option (topsis) among the public libraries of various attributes, including the city of Kerman (the skills of librarians, technical equipment and facilities available in the library, the library's budget situation and telecommunication infrastructure) were studied.Conclusion: The results obtained regarding the status of information architecture and all its layers showed: martyr motahhari library with a coefficient near 0.737 compared with other libraries in the first priority of the event, and can be used as it is the first library The public in Kerman for the implementation of information architecture, the central proposal of the national library, with the coefficient of the second position near 0.704 Shahid beheshti library with third place in 0.627 near coefficient. Finally, suggestions about the research hypothesis.

Purpose - This study aimed to better understand the research process, identify and improve the knowledge gap in the field of SKOS and in order to create a correct and comprehensive understanding of it, systematically reviewed research in this field over a period of ten years from 2010 to 2020.Design/methodology – For this purpose, the reputable international databases of Scopus, Pabmod, Science Direct and Springer and the internal databases of scientific information of Jihad Daneshgahi, Iran Research Institute of Information Science and Technology, database of Iranian publications and Noor specialized journals database. They were searched with related Persian and Latin keywords. Out of 262 articles obtained after removing irrelevant, duplicate articles and articles that were not in the desired period, 62 articles were finally reviewed.Findings – The findings of this study showed that previous studies in categories such as application, review and quality improvement, design and development, structure, natural language processing, the relationship between SKOS and O.W.l., common mistakes in SKOS And the current state of scass on the web. Among them, the fields of application and review and improvement of the quality of SKOS have the most thematic share, and in 2016 and 2017, the most articles in this field were published. Also, the results of the thematic review of the articles showed that SKOS has been used the most in the design and preparation of thesauruses and ontologies of various fields, and also SKOS in areas such as the design of semantic web search engines, labeling and marginalization. Automated writing on the Semantic Web, improving Web search, representing and integrating Web schemas, categorizing Web features, representing semantic representations, indexing data, and linking strategies Plays the main.Conclusions: The results indicate the wide applications of SKOS in projects, ontologies and semantic web thesauri. Also, its capabilities in supporting Persian language can be used from SKOS in all fields mentioned in Persian. Also benefited. The results of reviewing the texts in this research can be the basis for future research.

Background and Objectives: The user interface of libraries' websites has a decisive role in optimal performance, and libraries can, when they can, have a good performance so that users can communicate with them. In this research, from the viewpoint of library and information professionals, and from the point of view of compliance with the Nielsen ratings, it has been examined whether these criteria have been addressed in the design of the UI web site. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the interface of the National Book Web site of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the level of compatibility of this website with Nielsen's components in a revealing approach. Methodology: The present study was a survey based on revelation evaluation. Nielsen's Revelation Assessment was first described in 1990 at the Human-Computer Interaction Conference, which included the use of a small set of evaluators to check the user interface environment and to judge that the user interface features are matched with pre-defined check log criteria. Simple random sampling has been used to choose, but considering that in the user interface studies with an opposite approach, it is better to use expert data. In this research, two main criteria were the criterion for selecting the evaluators. Therefore, 37 individuals were selected randomly, which had two conditions: 1. having a minimum undergraduate degree in librarianship and apprenticeship; 2. Understanding the concept of the user interface. Cranach’s alpha coefficient was used to assess the validity of the check list. The results obtained with 77 questions on the 37 users showed that its alpha coefficient is equal to 0.96, which is a high coefficient. In order to assess the validity of the check list, Content validity method was used in this study. Findings: In this research, the pattern of revelation that has been identified by numerous studies as a valid universal model for measuring the user-environment utilization has been used to evaluate the user interface environment. The results of the study showed that the degree of compliance of the interface with the " The clarity and feasibility of the system", " the correspondence between the system with the real world", " stability and consistency", " aesthetic aspects and simple design", " recognition instead of reminding messages ", the components of "user control and release", "helping the user to prevent and correct errors", "flexible and system efficiency", "guidance and documentation" are modest, and the level of compliance with the "error prevention" component is very low. Also, the results of the evaluation indicate that on the website of the National Library of Iran, the criterion of control and freedom of action of the user of the website, with 37.84 percent of the criteria, is more consistent with the criteria than the other components and the criterion of error prevention with a minimum of 19.5 percent compliance is the least consistency. The Nielsen component has ten components. To further benefit from the website of the National Library of Iran, the problems in the web interface that interfere with the users' perception should be identified so that designers of the environment try to resolve their work problems. Considering that in this research, it has been attempted to review the problems of the system by observing all the problems of revelation, it is still possible that there would be problems that the evaluators have left behind. One of the problems found on this site is the bustle and confusion of the UI page. It is not possible to define a different user interface for specific user groups. Data analysis showed that the interface of the website interface of the National Library of Iran with 10 components of Nielsen is generally higher than the average. This website did not have a desirable standard on some of the Nielsen model. Discussion: The review of the findings of the study on the degree of compliance with the criterion of visibility of the status of the system suggests that users believed that the website of the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran will alert them to a great deal about what is happening through appropriate feedback. Also, regarding the compatibility measure between the system and the real world, the result showed that the user interface of the National Library website is largely consistent with this criterion. It seems that the user-interface designers of the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran website has been working more towards alignment between the system and the real world. The goal of each site is to help users to interact more with the system; therefore, compliance with this criterion is the focus of attention on the user and his needs. Web site control and users’ freedom of action has a special place in the user's minds, which attracts them and creates interest in them, increases user interaction and facilitates user interaction. The status of this benchmark is modest on the website of the National Library. Considering the importance of the flexibility and system efficiency, it seems that the designers of the website of the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran should place more emphasis on the components of the "possibility of color change", in specific cases by the user and "the possibility of personalization of the way information is displayed" in order to reach the desired level in terms of the "flexibility and system efficiency" criterion. Given the importance of benchmarking user assistance in identifying and correcting errors, the National Library website designers need to focus more on the components of helping users identify errors and fix them, informing users of possible errors and applied issues, so that this criterion lead to the expected and desirable situation for users. In the "user control and freedom" criterion, it is not possible to define a different user interface for specific user groups, as well as non-personalization of displaying existing information.
