چکیده

هدف: : هدف از پژوهش حاضر، ارزیابی نرم‌افزارهای کتابخانه‌ای درون‌سازمانی از لحاظ شاخص­های عملکردی براساس دیدگاه کتابداران است.
روش ­شناسی: جامعه پژوهش حاضر شامل 131 نفر از کتابداران کتابخانهی دانشگاههای شهید بهشتی، تهران، مالک اشتر، فردوسی و شریف، که برای انجام فعالیتهای روزانه خود از نرمافزار کتابخانهای درونسازمانی استفاده میکردند و به صورت سرشماری انتخاب شدند. روش پژوهش پیمایشی- ارزیابانه و شیوه گردآوری اطلاعات سیاهه وارسی محقق ساخته شامل 481 مولفه است.
یافته­ ها: یافته‌های پژوهش نشان داد که در بخش امانت 64/64 درصد نرم‌افزار پند، 50/89 درصد نرم‌افزار  سیماد، 08/70 درصد نرم‌افزار پروان، 22/56 درصد نرم‌افزار تهران، 76 درصد نرم‌افزار ماوا در وضعیت مطلوبی قرار دارند. بخش فراهم‌آوری و سفارشات، در نرم‌افزارهای تهران، پند و پروان در نظر گرفته نشده است، در نرم‌افزار ماوا اگر چه طراحی شده اما عملا از آن استفاده نمی‌شود. تنها در نرم‌افزار سیماد کتابداران به طور عملی از این بخش استفاده می‌کنند و طبق نظر آنها 11/36 درصد در وضعیت مطلوبی قرار دارد. در بخش ذخیره و بازیابی نرم‌افزارهای پند، سیماد، پروان، اوراکل تهران،  ماوا به ترتیب با کسب امتیاز 64/41 درصد، 71/34 درصد، 61/24 درصد،  69/37 درصد، 38/40 درصد، در وضعیت مطلوبی قرار دارند همچنین در بخش گزارشگیری نرم‌افزارهای پند، سیماد، پروان، اوراکل تهران،  ماوا به ترتیب با کسب امتیاز 12/24 درصد، 20/53 درصد، 91/18درصد، 07/32 درصد، 08/56 درصد، در وضعیت مطلوبی قرار دارند.
نتیجه ­گیری: نتایج نشان داد که تنها نرمافزار سیماد به بخش سفارشات توجه داشته است که نیاز به توجه بیشتری در این بخش است. همچنین نرم افزارها در بخش‌های امانت (در زیربخشهای مختلف مانند عضویت، مالی، گزارشهای آماری، تمدید، رزرو و غیره) و ذخیره و بازیابی دارای ضعفهایی هستند طبق نظر کتابداران بخش گزارشات نرم‌افزارها نیز انعطاف پذیری کامل و جامعی ندارد. بنابراین نیاز به بازتگری در این بخش‌ها است.

چکیده [English]

Background and Objectives: Nowadays, library software is considered as an important part of service tools in libraries, and since librarians are on one side as importers of bibliographic information and borrowers, and on the other side end users search for information with the help of this system. The need to comply with information exchange standards and the up-to-dateness of services in them as well as user-friendliness is clearly felt. It is obvious that if the library software is not in accordance with the standards, the loss of capital on the one hand and the reduction of the efficiency and speed of library work on the other hand will be a definite result. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in-house library software in terms of performance indicators based on the view of librarians.
Methodology: The current research is practical in terms of purpose and survey-evaluative in terms of methodology. By referring to the website of different libraries, visiting different libraries in person, field studies and interviewing people who are experts in this field, first of all internal library software (library software that the organization interested in designing by relying on specialized human resources or organizational capital, designs it) Were identified. In total, 23 in-house library software were identified, of which 9 in-house library software are currently active and librarians use it in daily use, and 14 software have been deactivated and libraries have moved to another software. Out of these 9 active softwares, 5 softwares are related to university libraries affiliated to the Ministry of Science, software related to public libraries, Tebian library software belonging to Tebian Cultural and Information Institute, Saha belonging to the specialized library of Islamic history and software of the comprehensive system of libraries. The ideological and political organization of the army that belongs to the army. According to the purpose of the research, five-library software are recommended. Parwan. Simad Mava and Oracle University of Tehran were selected for evaluation based on performance indicators due to their activeness, scope of coverage and similarity (university library software affiliated with the ministries of science). The statistical population under investigation was 131 librarians of Shahid Beheshti, Tehran, Malik Ashtar, Ferdowsi and Sharif universities who used internal library software for their daily activities and were selected by census. To measure the validity of the research tool, the checklist was given to six experts, including two faculty members, two software designers, and two professional users, and its content validity was evaluated, and after the deficiencies were corrected, the checklist was compiled. In order to check the reliability and reliability of the questionnaire, a preliminary study was conducted on 12 librarians of the University of Tehran who are working with the library software of the University of Tehran and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated. The number obtained from the calculation of Cronbach's alpha coefficient was equal to 93%. After the final correction, the checklist was distributed to the entire community and in the phase of analyzing the findings, the mentioned test was performed again. Considering that the alpha coefficient of 88% was obtained at this stage, it is clear that the questions of the checklist have internal consistency and the checklist is reliable.
Findings: The results showed that 64/64 of software in circulation advice, Symad software 50/89 percent, 08/70 percent Parwan software, software Tehran 22/56 percent, 76 percent have a favorable condition sojourn software. The procurement and ordering section does not exist in the software of Tehran, Pand, Parwan. In addition, although it is designed, it is not actually used in Mava software. Only in the Simmand software, librarians actually use this section and 36.1% of them are in good condition. In storage and retrieval of 41.64% of software, 34.71% of Simmand software, 24.61% of Parwan software, 37.69% of software in Tehran, 40.38% of Mova software are in good condition. In the reporting section, 24.24% of the software is Pand, 53.20% of the software, 18.19% of the software in Parwan, 32.77% of the software in Tehran, 56.08% of the software in Mova is a desirable situation. The results showed that only Simmand software has paid attention to the orders section, which requires more attention in this section. In addition, the software is lagging behind in various subdivisions, there are weaknesses, in fact, intra-house library software has been able to some extent meet the daily needs of librarians in these sectors, but given the advancement of technology, and it has not been able to meet their expectations.
Discussion: The results of this research will help the organizations and libraries that produce this type of software, that by using these results and by using the opinions of librarians, they can try to improve the state of the software, and it can even help other libraries and organizations that intend to do this. make them think more when making decisions and pay more attention to the capabilities of the leading intra-organizational software in this work and the opinions of the users of these software. It is suggested to evaluate the commercial library software in the libraries used throughout the country by using this checklist and make a comparison between internal and commercial software. Finally, he proceeded to prepare these softwares.
