Objectives:The present study seeks to cluster different types of digital resources including manuscripts,hot metal and lithography and other unique resources of library in various subjects based on the topics searched by users to facilitate the acquisition and collection development and improve the service quality of digital libraries.
Methodology:present study is a cross-sectional analytical study which has been carried out in the10-year period of launching Ayatollah Boroujerdi digital library in Qom from 2011 to 2021.The statistical population includes 10-year data related to digital library extracted in July2010 from NOSA digital resources archive software.The library databases were in SQL format,and extracted data were changed to CSV format.Out of various data mining techniques,the association-rule (ARM)(Apriori algorithm) was used to determine the interdependency of information resources searched by users in different subject areas.In data mining process,after data extraction,they were prepared and cleaned.For clustering and association rule mining, IBM Modeler18has been used and for drawing the network graphs,data has been transformed to matrix and bibliometrix library was used in R software.
Findings:Based on the users’ use of various topics in digital library databases,two clusters were extracted such that Cluster1 covered 56%and Cluster2 covered 44%of data.In the first cluster,the subjects such as jurisprudence, principles,prayer,literature, medicine,mysticism,history,ethics and sciences are more frequently used.In the second cluster,subjects of theology,Hadith,syntax,philosophy,logic,poetry,astronomy, prayers,interpretation and miscellaneous subjects are mostly used.The other finding is that the highest rate of simultaneous searches by users relates to the subject of jurisprudence with the topics of logic,ethics,and medicine.In addition,when a user first searches the subject of jurisprudence,s/he has searched the subject of medicine by probability of 55%.
Discussion:This study provides a good opportunity for the managers and administrators to coordinate effective planning and strategic decisions with the real needs of users by identifying and recognizing the user community.In this way,they could provide the ground for making maximum benefit from the unique information resources of this library at national and international levels.Therefore,the research findings highlight the need for more attention of library managers to acquisition and efforts to digitize most resources related to these subject areas. In addition,they could be useful in providing suggestion systems in the library.

: 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.

Background and Objectives: Emergency literacy skills include a set of initial and prerequisite skills to teach children's school literacy. Emergency literacy skills include two areas of reading (with word decoding subcategories, words recognition, letters recognition, phonetics and phonological) and writing (with alphabetic knowledge subcategories, printing concepts comprehension, hand and eye coordination, and letters sequence). Emergency literacy skills are assessed at five levels: visual knowledge, phonetics knowledge, alphabetic knowledge, vocabulary knowledge, and Oral language skills. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of teaching to approach e-book, printed books and traditional education on preschool children's emergency skills.Methodology: The research was applied in terms of purpose, which is done by experimental method. The data were collected using a questionnaire, consisting of the materials of the Wechsler pre-school Intelligence sensing test, the Metropolitan Academic Readiness Test and the Learning Disorders Treatment. The research consisted of two experiment groups (teaching by e-books and printed books) and one control group (traditional teaching). The research community consisted of children aged 4.5 to 6 years living in Isfahan. The target community consisted of three kindergartens in the average area of Isfahan, which was selected by available sampling method. Being in the age of 4.5 to 6 years, lack of mental retardation, lack of taking the medicine, and lack of specific physical and mental illness formed the criteria for entering the sample. After selecting the sample, the research intervention was done through training through an e-learning book, a printed book and traditional teaching. Also, before and after intervention, the pre-test and post-test of the study was taken from children at the same time by means of measuring instruments. The training phase was conducted in 5, 40-minute sessions and five skills of visual knowledge, alphabetic, phonology, vocabulary, oral narration were taught. After completing the stages of main training, the post-test stage was three days after the last educational session and was implemented in the same pre-test and main test location. Then, scoring versions were collected and investigated for statistical analysis. The obtained data from this research were analyzed by SPSS software and in approach covariance analysis method. According to the research tools that included the questionnaire and the obtained scores, first the scores of each questionnaire were analyzed and then, the pre-test and post-test scores of each child were compared with the child himself. Finally, by entering the gender variable, the difference of the scores of girls and boys is examined.Findings: Findings of the present study showed that education through e-books and printed books as extracurricular education can have a significant effect on acquiring or increasing the emergency literacy skills of preschool children. Therefore, kindergartens, preschools, children's libraries can, in conjunction with other educational activities, along with education specialists, develop basic skills and literacy in children before they arrive. Strengthen the school.Discussion: In explaining the general hypothesis of research on the significant effect of electronic and printing teaching method than traditional method, it can be said that preschool children's educational system is based on elementary educations and daily child care, which sometimes doesn't meet all children's educational needs. In the meantime, the entry of a wonderful program in the children's daily routine can have a double effect on their learning. In addition, e-learning can be helpful for learning because it is accompanied by attractive visual and auditory stimuli, the use of a variety of colors and sounds, and as a new tool and experience. Also, according to the results, there is no significant difference between girls and boys present in the three tentative groups in terms of the effectiveness of the educational method. This research finding can be a factor in challenging society's cultural beliefs about differences in attention, concentration, reading skills, writing, and math skills among girls and boys. Also, the results of comparing the two experimental groups (e-book and printed book) showed that teaching by e-book than printed book significantly increases the chances of pre -school children's emergency literacy skills.
