Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of localizing knowledge management categories based on the foundations of Proust, Rub and Knowledge building knowledge based on the activities of the Hozeh Honari (Islamic Art &Thought Center), Panel Delphi Organisation’s . Research method: In terms of purpose, it is practical and Delphi method with a qualitative approach. The research data collection tool is a semi-structured questionnaire in which knowledge management topics have been localized by experts using the Delphi method. The statistical population of 21 experts included managers and individuals with artistic degree and purposeful sampling method. Results: In the first round, 70 categories were identified in 8 indicators of identification, acquisition, development, distribution, protection, use, measurement and knowledge objectives with the opinion of experts and specialists. In the second round, the structured categories of the first round using the Likert scale and its statistical summary with the mean showed that the component of evaluating user satisfaction with the quality of services in the art unit with an average of 90/4 of the knowledge development index, documentation component Continuous information and skills skills of employees with an average of 42/4of the knowledge measurement index, component of creating archives, abilities and knowledge capacities of internal experts with an average of 38/4of the knowledge use index, component of creating processes to gain knowledge with an average of 33/4 of the knowledge acquisition index, the components of determining the goals of common knowledge culture and the operational goals of knowledge in order to perform normative knowledge and strategic knowledge with an average of 28/4 from the knowledge goals index, the component of creating processes to acquire knowledge with an average of 28/4 of the index. Knowledge protection, the component of attention to knowledge outside the organization and abroad with an average of 23/4 from the knowledge identification index, the component of creating a database in order to exchange knowledge with an average of 14/4 from the knowledge distribution index, is obtained in the above order. In the third round, statistical summary of the degree of importance of 8 indicators of knowledge management with total average, standard deviation, variance showed that knowledge target index with total average of 62/4knowledge development index with total average of 26/4, knowledge distribution index with total average of 18/4 and the knowledge protection index is determined with an average of 17/4. Finally, the coordination of experts and specialists in different phases using the Kendall correlation coefficient showed that the knowledge identification index with a coefficient of 1 and the knowledge acquisition index with a coefficient of 0.75 and the knowledge protection index with a coefficient of with a strong consensus were approved. Conclusion: 70 categories of knowledge management were identified by experts and specialists in the field of art of the Islamic Propaganda Organization. According to the ranking in the second round, experts and specialists agree with the categories of knowledge management. According to the third round, the index of knowledge goals, knowledge development, knowledge distribution and knowledge protection is more important. Participants' views on the Knowledge Identification Index, Knowledge Protection, and Knowledge Acquisition are strongly agreed upon.

: The purpose of the present study is to philosophically explain of the user's cognitive abilities to interactive retrieve information based on abstraction of human paradigmatic. Methodology: This is a fundamental theoretical goal research using deductive qualitative content analysis, its interpretation and conclusions. The data collection tools were collected through the study of library documents and other sources in the databases of Mulla Sadra's exponents' content analysis. The validity and reliability of the present study is based on the reliability and validity of past research. The analysis of the information and knowledge gathered from the content of the documents is done in an explanatory-inferential interpretation. Finding: The commonalities of the three information behavior retrieval patterns, including Belkin, Ingwersen and Saracevic on the cognitive abilities based on abstraction of human paradigmatic of Mulla Sadra, the user can be regulated the knowledge status in Belkin episode of IR model and in Ingwesen cognitive model makes a difference in how users search and how their cognitive structures are influenced by information absorption; And also, in the Saracevic multilevel model, the levels (cognitive, motivational, and situational) have changed and caused more interaction, and in user interaction and response to the information system, it is possible to depict intermediates among levels and layers different aspects of vital. Conclusion: By explaining the cognitive abilities of the user in information interactive retrieval based on abstraction of human paradigmatic (Mulla Sadra), the three-way interactions of behavior, environment, and individuals are understood and lead to actions such as the search starting point and causing interpret and formulate a clear conceptualization of information behaviors including information behavior, information seeking behavior, information finding behavior, and information use behavior during the interaction of information behaviors as well as varying levels of accuracy and attention in the search process as well as diversity and the variety of information behaviors will be predictable and persistent. Finally, formulating effective strategies to advance information in information behaviors leads to the implementation and development of interactive information retrieval patterns.

AbstractObjective: Creating knowledge in the organization and transforming it depends on the skill and ability of the skilled manpower. The success of employee empowerment also depends on factors and obstacles. The present study seeks to empower librarians of Iran and Tehran University of Medical Sciences to create and transfer knowledge.methodologyThis research is one of the applied research that has been done by survey-correlation method. The study population consisted of two universities, Iran University of Medical Sciences with 76 librarians and Tehran University of Medical Sciences with 61 librarians, which totaled 137 librarians. According to Morgan's table, 104 people were selected. Data were collected randomly. Two standard questionnaires, Spritzer Empowerment (1995), and Newman & Conrad Knowledge Management (1999), were used for data collection. The Spritzer Questionnaire has five components (competence, affectivity, sense of meaning, choice, trust), and the Newman and Conrad model has four components (knowledge creation, knowledge retention, knowledge transfer and transfer, and knowledge utilization). In this study, two components of knowledge creation and knowledge transfer are considered. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis with Pearson (for normal explanatory data) and Spearman (for nominal qualitative data) tests. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 23, and the impact of empowerment factors on knowledge creation and transfer of community librarians' knowledge to the structural model of Amos software was used.FindingsThe findings of the present study indicate that there is a significant relationship between individual factors and knowledge creation. There is a significant relationship between gender and education with knowledge transfer. There is a significant relationship between group factors (sense of trust and sense of meaning) and knowledge creation and transfer. There was no significant relationship between group factors (competence, choice, and affectivity) and knowledge creation and transfer. As empowerment increases, knowledge creation and transfer among librarians increases, and empowerment decreases as knowledge creation and transfer among librarians decreases. Many factors affect empowerment, but according to the results of the present study, individual and group factors (gender, level of education, sense of trust, and meaningful feeling) had the greatest impact on empowering librarians to create and transfer knowledge.Results: Findings showed that there is a significant relationship between individual factors and knowledge creation. But there is no significant relationship between individual factors and knowledge transfer.Keywords: Empowerment success factors, Knowledge creation, Knowledge transfer, Librarians, University of medical sciences.
