Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine subject categories in Knowledge and Information Science for creating knowledge map of KIS. Method: The Delphi technique was used for collection of the required data. This qualitative research methodology helped facilitating and determining the main and sub-main subject categories. The Delphi Panel was composed of 28 experts in KIS. The Statistical technique of t-test was applied for analyzing the results. Findings: The results obtained from Delphi Panel revealed that there was significant difference between the first stage and second stage in regards with 2nd (methodology), 3rd (Library & resource centers) and Sixth (User Services) subject categories. No significant differences were observed in other 11 subject categories. Conclusion: Results also indicated that KIS categories were changed from 13 subject categories to 14, namely: 1) General KIS, 2) KIS education, 3) Methodology , 4) Libraries and resource centers, 5) Management of libraries and information centers, 6) Technical or organizational knowledge, 7)User Services, 8) Use & User Studies, 9) Information storage and retrieval, 10) Library and ICT, 11) Publishing and distribution, 12) Social Issues Information, 13) Ethical and legal issues, and 14) Knowledge Management.

Aim: This study aimed at exploring the barriers to the development of critical thinking in libraries, since inspections to the educational institutions reveals signs of significant barriers to development of appropriate environments for the growth of critical thinking. Method: for the purpose of this study, researchers reviewed the literature by searching extensive number of books and databases, including Iran Doc, Scientific Information Database (SID), Ovid, Emerald, PubMed, Science Direct using keywords such as critical thinking in libraries, critical thinking barriers and critical thinking components. Findings: This review led to drawing a chart of critical thinking barriers in libraries. These barriers can be classified in four areas of users, librarians, resources and organization. Conclusion: Regarding the barriers introduced in this study, libraries and librarians should try to overcome them by holding educational workshops to enhance and optimize users’ skills in information seeking, formulation of search strategies and evaluation of information contents. In addition, library instruction tours can help users to enhance their self-esteem.

Aim: The aim of this study is to introduce the methods of transferring relational databases to ontology, classification of entering resources for transferring methods and identify the most important methods which exist in each group. Method: In this study, bibliographic analysis was used to gather and examine papers published on transferring relational databases to ontology. Some papers are derived from paper databases and others from papers published on the Internet. Results: After identifying the existing methods for transferring relational databases to ontology, they were classified into three groups: relational schema, conceptual data models and HTML pages of which the easiest accessible source is HTML pages which does not need cooperation of owner of the relational databases. However, since they can't be considered as real relational databases the hidden concepts in relational databases can't be derived from this source. In terms of data access, it should be noted that retrieval of all records in a relational database through the web-site is impossible. Creating conceptual model is always the first step in the process of creating database, so this model may not express the latest changes and corrections made in the database. The changes in implementation level are not usually reflected in the conceptual model. The conceptual model may not be accessible after designing and creating database. Also, some conceptual model tools do not support all features of conceptual models. Therefore, the relational schema seems to be the best source to create ontology from relational databases, when the database structure and data be accessible and owner of database is cooperative.

Aim: This study aimed at examination of differences existing in cataloging in publication data of various editions of works and standards used, as well as their impact on their assembly and retrieval. Method: Case study approach was used in this research in which records belonging to a book entitled Memoirs of An Ass, that was reprinted 7 times from 1378-1390, were selected for examination. Findings: Results of the study revealed that the difference detected among records, not only impact on retrieval and assembly of works, but also they affect the implementation of FRBR in the information storage and retrieval systems. Conclusion: the results showed that CIP records are not suitable tools for information storage and retrieval systems and the problems they have is troublesome for achieving the ultimate functionality of the library catalogs.

Aims: This research aimed to examine the status of co-authorship social network centrality measures in 3 Iranian Chemistry journals indexed in Thomson Reuter’s database.
Method: Research population includes all Iranian researchers that had published at least one article in the three Iranian Chemistry journals.
Results: The results of the study showed that significant correlation existed between productivity and all centrality measures at p=0/001, except for closeness centrality. The study also revealed that about 32% of the Productivity variance was determined by Centrality measures.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the Iranian Chemistry co-authorship social network is relatively dense in analogy with that of areas such as Management, Information Science and Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Aim: This study examines the Techno Stress among the librarians of both universities of Shahid Chamran and Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Method: The research population consisted of all the staff employed in all active libraries in both universities including the central libraries and the rest of academic libraries located in the schools and hospitals. Data collection was performed by means of two scales: the Ragu-Nathan Technostress Scale, and the Kohn Perceived Stress Scale. The data thus collected was analyzed by means of the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The the significance level was determined to be 0.01. Finding: Results of the ANOVA test showed significant differences among respondents regarding the different components of Techno Stress. The follow-up test of Tukee revealed that the differences come mainly from “Overload of technology” that received the highest average from librarians of both Shahid Chamran University and the Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. Conclusion: Findings revealed a significant difference between men and women only in regards with “Invasion of technology” as a component of Techno Stress. Also, it was noted that among all, the “Overload of Technology” component stood out with the highest score obtained from librarians in both universities, meaning it needed more attention than other components of Techno Stress.
