Purpose:The expansion of public libraries, policymakers and users' expectations and budget allocations, along with the rapid advancement of information technology, has increased the number of libraries that use IT. This also requires librarians to learn the necessary knowledge in the development of information technology, the foundations of the computer and how to use it, as well as the basic principles of software and the way programs are run. Given the fact that the implementation and use of IT imposes a huge of the costs to the organization, there is no guarantee of its success. Therefore, it is necessary that the various aspects of organizational use from IT to be considered based on a variety of dimensions, such as organizational, human, environmental and technology; because the lack of attention to these factors can be affected, some factors such as the resistance to technological changes or dissatisfaction. So, This aimed to investigate the relationship between expected usefulness, organizational readiness, environmental pressures, accessibility features and information technology compatibility among librarians of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad province public libraries. Methodology: The research is an applied research method done using analytical survey method. The population of this study was 175 librarians and staff of public libraries in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad provinces. Using Krejcie and Morgan tables 120 librarians were selected randomly. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data (based on the study by Iacovou & et al., 1995, Hsu & et al. 2006, and Oliviera and Martins, 2009). The validity of tools using content-formal method and reliability with Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.83) confirmed. Data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistical methods including one sample t test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings: Results showed that the expected usefulness were not significantly correlated with information technology compatibility (Sig. 0.061). However, the environmental stresses (r = 0.505), organizational readiness (r = 0.506), accessibility (r = 0.708) and IT compatibility have a positive correlation and significant relationship (Sig. 0.000).

Objective: Given the importance and necessity of effective and efficient use of information systems and the study of variables affecting it. the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of the dimensions of organizational information culture on the use of the information system of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz.Methodology: The study is applied done using the analytical survey method. The study population consisted of all staff members that use the office automation system of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz (N=350 persons), and 184 individuals were selected as the sample by a simple random sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire based on previous research tools.Findings: The results showed that the mean of the main variable of organizational information culture (3.753), and its dimensions include information integration (3.483), information sharing (3.443), information proactivity (3.56), information transparency (3.54), information control (3.26), and information informality (3.57) as well as use of information system (3.62) all are above average. In addition, the hypothesis test results showed that the organizational information culture have significant effect on perceived value of information (β = 0.459, P <0.01); and using the information system (β = 0.448, P <0.01) directly and indirectly by mediating role of information value (β = 0.445, P <0.01).Conclusion: As result the organization should provide the necessary mechanism for institutionalizing the organizational information culture and its dimensions so as to provide conditions for understanding the value of information by the employees and consequently better use of the information systems.Because academic information systems play an important role in the flow of university information; the Perceived value of information will also affect the use of university information systems. In addition, the status of using the information system also indicates that the use of this system has been accepted among employees. However, it can be said that the average use of information systems may be influenced by other factors such as low computer literacy of employees, their unfamiliarity with the value of information systems, importance, and applications of information technology, and people's habits of doing things manually or inefficiently.

AbstractBackground and Objectives: The process of teaching and research in universities is dynamic, complex and requires extensive change and transformation. As a result of advances in information and communication technology, the world of academia also entered the age of the information society. Its manifestation is the use of academic management information systems, test and evaluation information systems, online education systems, student information systems, faculty member information systems, etc. in universities. The main idea behind the use of all these systems is to collect relevant data, represent it and illustrate it based on the needs of different academic users. The management information system with the aim of providing the required information, helps managers in issues such as planning, control and decision making and provides the necessary support to make strategic and optimal decisions for managers of the educational system. Provides. This paper has studied interoperability factors of information system among Iranian universities. The lack of interoperability among Iranian universities has verified the importance of this article.Methodology: This paper is an exploratory qualitative study which base on its objectives classifies under applied researches. Several key factors of interoperability have been extracted precisely, and results have been analyzed by experts along using Delphi technique (Zeinali et al. 2017 & Namli et al, 2009). The population of this study has concluded all information system experts and managers at different branches of Islamic Azad University (IAU) which had qualified to interview with their corresponding experiences. The sample population has been made of both faculty members and manger level participants that participate in Delphi roundsFindings: Increasing the volume of data has been one of the major concerns of organizations. They are trying to facilitate its by using information management mechanism. Lack of a comprehensive and systematic approach over time leads to the implementation of a variety of information systems in an organization with different data structures and programming that complicate their usage. Over the years, the issue of information systems interoperability under these conditions has been considered.Results have proven that the key factors of technical interoperability in information system of IAU are:· Ability to interact with information systems and Data exchangeability· Link-ability to decision support system (DSS)· Standard format of saved Data· Centralized security· Centralized Data monitoring· Integrated processing and Synchronization· Easy communication with other systems· Ability to use virtually, online and distance education· And so on.Similarly, this study had claimed the below listed items as the critical organizational interoperability factors of information system in Iranian university case study:· Its mechanism regarding information delivery and updating · Flexibility and ability to Change and update· Dynamic and flexible setting· Changeable task manager· Efficiency measurement and feedback· Expandable architecture· Ability to develop regarding new demands· Service-oriented architectureAnd finally, the most significant semantic interoperability factors of information system in Iranian university case study had highlighted as below:· Ability to code the learning symbols and identifiers · Ability to communicating with independent clients not considering languages. · Using standard coding and identifiers· XML interpreter service· Map service· Preparing a standard format of texting between clients· Content Based Routing· Being user friendly considering user’s knowledge and vocabulary Discussion: At the end, this paper significantly had determined that the architecture of university information system should guaranty the integration of information process while eases the flowing data between the departments or clients smoothly. In the other word, establishing an interoperable information system which covers all technical, Organizational and Semantic aspects and share demanded information with clients on time is the most crucial characteristic of modern organizations. Furthermore, lack of these aspects (technical, Organizational and Semantic) obstructs systems achieving efficiency, development and interoperability, and it may affect their decisions at current competitive market. On the other hand, improving these factors significantly simplifies the communication between clients and increases the effectiveness, efficiency, and customer satisfaction as well.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between employee empowerment and the quality of information services in academic libraries of Khuzestan province.Methodology: The research method was descriptive survey with a causal approach. Using simple random sampling method 132 of employees was selected from a total of 200 employees of academic libraries. Data were gathered through Minnesota's standard job satisfaction questionnaire, Spritzer and Mishra empowerment questionnaire (1997), and the quality of services provided by Moghimi and Ramadan (2011). Data were analyzed using structural equation analysis with LISREL 8.8 software.Findings: The results of the structural equation test showed that there was a linear relationship between the research variables and the path analysis results showed that empowerment variable has the significant impact (directly and indirectly) on the quality of information services. In spite of the mediator variable (job satisfaction), the effect of the empowerment variable on the quality of information services increases indirectly.Conclusion: Results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction, empowerment and the quality of information services. So, based on the determination coefficient, about 40% of the quality of information services and empowerment of employees depends on their job satisfaction; and the empowerment is far more contributing to comparing with other variables in predicting the quality of information services.

Background and Objectives: The advent of World Wide Web (WWW) in 1990s that was followed by emergence of a large number of web pages made using of automatic information retrieval systems necessary. The first web search engine with a capability of full text search was developed by Brian Pinkerton in the Washington University. The Web Crawler was able to index the plain texts and allowed the users to search the expressions on the internet. Later, the Lycos, Infoseek in 1994, Excite and Yahoo in 1995 Inktomi in 1996, Google in Sep. 1997 (Gross, 2015), M.S.N and Overture (Sahu, Mahapatra and Balabantaray, 2016) were emerged to overcome the complexity resulted from a surge in the information within the web. According to Wu and Lee (2004), the services delivering by web search play a significant role for those users who seek to elicit information sources to meet their needs which had not been available for them before. Today, the search engines are recognized as an access pass to a huge size of information on the internet, providing the services and tools tomeet a variety of users' information requirements. For this reason, the evaluation of efficiency and performance of search engines is very important because it is necessary for developers and users. (Azimzadeh, Badie and Esnaashari, 2016). As far as Mc Carthy (2006: quoted in Ewans, 2007) claims, a vast majority of the people visiting the web sites access to the webpages or contents of interest through search engines rather than link directly from other pages.The search engine is a software by which the users search the needed various information on the internet as well as retrieval of related outcomes (Mivule, 2017). Craft, Metzler and Strohman (2015) define a search engine as a practical use of techniques retrieving information within the large scale text sets that with different forms reflect those capabilities for whichthey are designed purposely. On the other word, the search engines are the programs that are employing to find the documents matched to the specific keywords on the WWW setting and retrieve a list of documents containing the searched keywords (Khorsheed, Madbouly and Guirguis, 2015). According to Craft, et. al (2015) the capabilities of recovering information are dramatically involving in the structured multimedia documents, meaningful textual contents and other media, relevance, evaluation, information needs, the effective ranking algorithms and interaction with the users, what are still concerned the researchers investigating in retrieval of information. From Ali, Jhandir, Lee, On and Choi (2017) viewpoints, while the data performance for internet acts a s a fuel to back running it, its extensiveness has caused much problems for the users.While the degree of the users' confidence to the search engines and relying on it to display authentic outcomes is questionable, providing suitable, relevant, and high quality information for the users using webpages contents and links between pages is a big challenge for service providers (the search engines). It is while Xu, Wang and Goh (1998) believe that the numerous search engines have been developed to give technically better performance. It indicates that there has been lack of expected qualitative features fromusers 'viewpoints.Given that in the various studies a few and mostly specific measures such as precision and recall have been considered, on the basis of this assumption that a relevant document collection is ever the same without involvement of user, in the present study the relative precision, relative recall, F-number, coverage ratio, freshness ratio, the expected search ratio and failure are investigated as a set of measures evaluating the retrieval efficiency of the search engines in the information and knowledge domain. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study is to determine the retrieval efficiency of the five search engines given the indicators of interest. Meanwhile, the secondary purpose of this article is to identify the retrieval efficiency of the search engines based on such indicators as the relative precision, relative recall, F-number, coverage ratio, freshness ratio, the expected search ratio and failure. The main question is that in this domain how the web search engines operate efficiently to retrieve the information.Methodology: The present study in term of target is applied one and is descriptive in term of survey method. By taking into account the search function and search term as identical condition (the query AND pdf), the authors have evaluated the efficiency of the search engines based on what is observed in the retrieval results. To measure the variables, several formulas related to relative precision, relative recall, F-number, coverage ratio, freshness ratio, the expected search ratio and failure have been used. Alexa-based ranking, this study also investigates such search engines as Google, Bing,Yahoo, Ask and AOL as the most commonly used search engines. In this research, the data was collected through library studies, in order to write a research literature, checklists and through direct observation of the searched outcomes. For this purpose, based on article, Top Trends in Academic Libraries2106, published in the SAGE database, Collage Research Libraries journal, the new domains and future subfields in the information science were determined in 15 terms/ keywords. Then, the 15 terms/keywords were analyzed and to determine the search keywords they were assigned to 20 experts of the field to give a weighted score in order to be placed in the list of this study by a value given to them. Then, 5 keywords with higher weights were selected for searching. The 5 keywords were individually assigned to the 5 search engines each. In the next stage, out of total retrieved outcomes of each search engine for each keyword, 50 documents were placed on the top of the list to evaluate the retrieval efficiency measures in the researcher-made collection. In order to distinguish relevance of documents, according to Zhang, Xu, Wang and Lee (2006)'recommendations, the keyword iteration in the documents, abstracts and their keywords was considered as a measure. To assess the reliability of retrieved results, the retest method was used. For this purpose, over two phases, at 15-day interval (winter 2017) the search and retrieval were conducted again. The correlation results of the two experiments were tested and confirmed at the R=0.89. To analyze the data, the Excel 2013 was employed.Findings: The results showed that the search engines of Google, Ask and Yahoo are of better performance than the other search engines in term of relative precision, relative recall, F-number harmonic mean and failure criterion; the expected search coefficient indicators and freshness ratio; coverage ratio respectively. However, in spite of the results obtained for the study search engines based on the different indicators, in general they are not in ideal situation where in most cases they are lower than the average. Given that in the previously studied search engines, the scientific domain and indicators of efficiency were different than the present one and they have focused mostly on the relative precision and relative recall, it is not possible to compare all the findings. However, the findings from the present study based on indicator of relative precision are consistent with that of studies of Shafi and Rader (2005), Ali and Gole (2016) and on the recall with that of Janson and Molina (2006), Kumar and Prakash (2009), Wang et. Al (2012), Ali and Gole (2016) and on the indicator of coverage ratio with that of Mohammad Ismael and Mansoor Kiakie (2011), Esfandyari Moghaddam (2012) and Janson and Molina (2006).Discussion: It can be concluded that in spite of the search engines have been gained a score and ranked in this study but they are still far from ideals. It follows that the challenges related to evaluation of information retrieval efficiency, despite of using different search engines, implementation of various strategies and different ranking algorithms and methods of document indexing, has to be yet removed and they need more studies. It should be noted that the comparison of the results from this study with some prior findings indicates that neither of search engines can alone meet the required efficiency indicators. Thus, given the different indicators the users have to assign their queries to the search engines. On the one hand, designing the specific search engines with regard to diversity, extent and lexical relationship in the different domains of sciences is very necessary. On the other hand, it is the time to use various patterns such as visual searching, using multilingual thesaurus, retrieving based on weighed indexing in the interface of both specific and general search engines.

Background and Objectives: Academic websites by introducing history, goals, educational, research, administrative and extracurricular services, and the recruitment of students, faculty and staff, play an important role in the dissemination of educational, research and administrative information of universities. The web is a vast collection of heterogeneous information that are interconnected through links. the information on the web is not organized properly, and this heterogeneous nature of information imposed disordered conditions on the web. However, the organization may provide a large amount of information on its website, but if retrieval of it is difficult, its usefulness will be reduced. Furthermore, a website may have a high level of interaction, but if users can not have access to it, this level of interaction will not be significant. This indicates a key problem in that website’s visibility and accessibility. Visibility is a very important metric in Webometrics studies, so that the usefulness of the inventories depends on how its content is visible, and the numbers in the inventory is a good indicator for measuring visibility. The visibility of a site also affects its coverage and retrieval by search engines. Accordingly, visibility and clarity are related to enabling interconnections in a space that todays have found a great importance. The topic of web visibility and its important role in different rankings of universities and higher education institutions has been the subject of several models in this field. With regard to the comprehensiveness of the Fishkin & Pollard’s (2007) industry model, this study intends to examine the characteristics of the top 100 web sites in webometric ranking system. So the main question is, what is the status of the site size, the rich files, and the number of articles, the site links, and the visibility of the top 100 Web sites in Webometric ranking system? And is the size of the website, the number of information rich files, the number of articles retrieved from Google Scholar and Web Links affect their visibility? Methodology: : The present study is an applied research in terms of its objective, and since it seeks to describe the status of the university's superior university webometric system in terms of visibility characteristics, it has been conducted as an analytical survey. Data collection was done by library and field methods in the first six months of year 2017. For this data collection, the checklists according to Fishkin and Pollard’s (2007) model, containing 30 items for the four subsets of visibility, size of website (including the number of web pages, website size in megabytes, and page rank), rich information files (including PDF, DOC, PPT, PS and RTF) and the number of articles retrieved through Google Scholar, was used. The validity of the instrument was formally determined and its reliability was calculated by using the retest method, and the correlation of the results was obtained (r = 0.89), which it confirms the reliability of the instrument and then various instruments were used to evaluate each of them. Data analysis was done using the SPSS 21software. Findings: The results showed that 14 features of the industry model were observed in 100% of the websites. The size of the website is more than 89% between 0.59to 7.39 MB. The results of the hypothesis test showed that the size and volume of the site (r = 0.637) at the significance level (Sig. 0.002), the number of enriched files (r = 0.546) at the significance level (Sig. 0.001), receiving referral links (r = 0. 674) at the significant level (Sig. 0.000), and the number of articles retrieved from Google Scholar (r = 0.654) at the significance level (Sig. 0.001) has a direct impact on visibility. In addition, the intensity of the relationship is stronger for the variable of referred links compared to the other three variables. Discussion: The visibility of a website is an important and essential component because it represents accessibility and find ability of a web site by the various search engines in the heterogeneous web environment. The effect of different components on visibility can be investigated from various aspects. For example, receiving referred links on the one hand points to sharing of a website content with other websites, which itself can be the reason for the validity of information content of a site; on the other hand, the visibility of a website and the ability to retrieve it by search engines refers indirectly to links from other sites. The multiplicity of links within the website and from the subpages and subset of a website can also indicate the distribution of the information content of the website on its various pages. This also refers to the architecture of the website and is associated to the size of the website and the number of pages. Therefore, identifying different factors requires further studies in the future.

Background and Objectives: The increasing complexity of the society and the dependence of society on information has raised the concept of information as a commodity more than ever as the strategic information source of the business (Love, 1993); and the key to its continuity. Today, information is a vital source for many macroeconomic and national economies and is the fourth most important source of production that organizations and advanced countries invest more to provide the right information to help make quality decisions and thus influence Sales and final performance of them. For this reason, sometimes they have compared information to blood in the organs of the organization, which is considered vital (Van Solms and Van Solms, 2004). From Choo's point of view (2002), an organization uses information for three primary purposes: creating an identity and a common content for action and reaction, developing the knowledge and new capabilities, and taking decisions that guarantee the capabilities and resources. Because the value of information is a relative attribute, it depends on the conditions that an organization must create for its reveal, which is presented at the macro level in the form of an organizational culture and at a more specialized level, called organizational information culture. The results of previous studies have shown that there is a relationship between information culture, company life cycle and profit and use of information, and a highly advanced information culture is positively associated with organizational work practices and leads to successful business performance. Hence, addressing the condition of information culture and examining its relationship with the results of information leads to the targeting of the organization's information behavior and its optimal use and necessity. Considering the heavy mission and volume of extensive information transaction that the Bushehr University of Medical Sciences has like every major organization. The purpose of this study was to determine the status of the dimensions of organizational information culture, the use of experts from information outcomes, and the impact of information culture on the use of information by experts.
Methodology: A descriptive study was conducted with analytical survey method. Samples of 254 experts were selected by random sampling method from 750 individuals. A questionnaire consisting of formal and permanent validity (α = 0.82) was used for collecting data.
Findings: The results showed that information integrity dimensions (Mean= 13.09), information transparency (Mean= 10.72), information sharing (Mean= 18.77), professional activity of information (Mean= 12.21), informal information (Mean= 55/8) and information control (Mean= 94/17), is at the relatively favorable level. Meanwhile, information integrity, information transparency, information sharing and information control affect the use of experts, but the informal information does not affect it. The organizational information culture is the beliefs, norms and values of information observation, which their attention in the organization can affect the organizational information-based decisions and influence the use of information.
Discussion: According to the findings of the study, it can be concluded that the availability, integrating and sharing information in the organization can facilitate the use of information. Transparency of information by managers and authorities can facilitate the use of information in the organization. Sharing information can facilitate the use of information in the organization. The sharing of information saves the organization from error testing and replication of experiences that entails huge expense, and accelerates decision-making and the timely and correct use of opportunities. Professional information activities can facilitate the use of information in the organization. The professional information activity in the organization may be influenced by some factors such as the information environment, the flow of information, the channels of information distribution, and so on. Meanwhile, the results showed an inverse relationship between the two informal components of information and the use of information results. In other words, informal information can be used as an obstacle to the use of information in the organization. The coherent relationship between the two components of organizational information culture and the use of information outcomes showed that the information culture of the organization is a predictor of the use of experts from information. Managers of the organization, by providing conditions for the distribution and dissemination of information, inform employees of their own functions of information intelligence. To improve the quality of the use of information, work towards clarifying the information in the organization. Think about ways to exchange and share the information inside and outside the organization and to strengthen and trust the information infrastructure.
