Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the status of digital content management in the IHCS, from preparation and production, organization to dissemination of content.
Methodology: The main nature of the present research is applied and the method of conducting this research is a case study. In order to investigate the situation of IHCS in the field of digital content management with a case perspective, a descriptive survey was conducted. The research community in this work is the IHCS and all its departments, activities, systems and programs that work in the direction of preparation, production and development, organization and dissemination of digital content. Tables have been used to describe and analyze the data collected from the checklist.
Findings: Various types of digital content are prepared and produced in different departments of the IHCS. The priority is to choose digital content in the research institute with books, documents and publications. Among the various departments of the IHCS, the library is the only one that organizes its digital content in a standard format. The digital content prepared, produced or developed in the IHCS are disseminated through various tools and methods, especially through websites, social networks and library services.
Conclusion: In general, the movement towards the preparation and production of content in digital form is visible in the IHCS, and efforts are being made to organize and disseminate all types of digital content in the form of various systems.

For years, virtual learning has been proposed as a dominant approach to overcome the limitations of traditional education. The spread of emerging technologies and the connection of citizens to the Internet has made virtual courses much more accesible than before. As the citizens of the third millennium refer to electronic shopping centers to purchase their goods, they expect to receive the instruction they require through virtual means. This trend, along with the increasing expectations, has created a gap between the current and the desired situation in the education process. Digital content management is considered as a facilitator to respond to emerging requirements. In this article, while explaining the dimensions of transformation in Virtual learning, the importance of digital content management in improving the effectiveness of virtual learning has been emphasized. The article would be a starting point for further research on the integration of digital content management in the virtual learning process.

Digital content creation is being carried out in different ways in cyberspace and using different platforms by professionals and the general public. But effective content accounts for a small percentage of all content produced and published. Creating value from digital content requires proper management based on professional competencies. In fact, digital content management as a professional task requires specific competencies. In this paper, with a process-oriented perspective, the components of a professional competency framework for digital content management are identified and presented. This content can be a good starting point for extensive research in the field of professional competencies for digital content management.

Virtual reality (VR) transcends the boundaries of the disciplines and lifestyles of different generations. The entanglement of digital content with the capabilities of artificial intelligence, graphic simulation, cultural coordinates, and economics has given rise to an amalgam of methods. The reality that is virtual, the virtual that is real. This multiplicity has caused content management to face unprecedented challenges and new avenues. New developments have been presented as an exceptional opportunity for specialists in various fields, especially information science. Interacting with VR requires accurate knowledge and sufficient competencies. Academic alumni, professionals, and leading researchers all think about how to interact effectively with VR and the resulting world. The emergence of metaphors such as Metaverse and serious public participation in cyberspace has necessitated the wise management of digital content following new developments and disciplines. In this paper, the characteristics of VR , including features, applications, and content management requirements for this new approach are explained.

Although digital content is a widely institutionalized reality at the present age, its management issues and challenges have not been sufficiently explained. One of the most important deterrents to effective digital content management (DCM) is a single-dimensional, disciplinary and sectoral perspective to this multidimensional concept. Digital content management is a multifaceted concept and the best option to deal with this multi-modal phenomenon is an inter-disciplinary and hyperdisciplinary approach. A range of legal, commercial, psychological, sociological, linguistic, computational, and ethical issues are intertwined with digital content management. Each of these issues, in addition to having a solution in one field of study or cognitive area, is also related to various fields of study. This has made digital content management issues a fluid and ever-changing entity. This paper strives to explain the interdisciplinary nature of this concept. In this regard, six main aspects of digital content management were explained including theory, instrument, individual, society, framework, and content. Explaining each of these aspects introduces a common ground for interdisciplinary collaboration. It is concluded that an effective digital content management initiative is possible only through cooperation and synergy on knowledge sharing from various related fields of study.

Purpose: The research aims to visualize and analyze co-word network, and thematic clusters of the intellectual structure in the field of digital content management during 2010-2020.Method: The study is applied research with a descriptive approach which is conducted by techniques of co-word, and social network analysis. Data analysis and visualization of the co-word network were represented by SPSS, UCINet, and Python programming language.Findings: 8 main clusters are identified. The cluster multimedia content management & retrieval is the most mature and central thematic cluster. The USA and various sub-categories of Computer Science are located in the top ranks of WOS in the field. Most productions were published in 2020. Generally, the Clusters were labeled in two contexts of health and LAM (Libraries, Archives, Museums, and cultural heritage).Conclusion: Content-based management and retrieval are focused on artificial intelligence, decision-supported, knowledge-based and ontological techniques which are conducted as novel approaches and underlying trends in the field.

Libraries have long been involved in content management due to their mission and task, but with the advent of the digital age, this content has changed from print to digital. Digital content management is related to storing, organizing, indexing and monitoring digital content used by an organization. Digital content can take many forms, including text files, documents, graphics, images, animations, and audio and video files. This book is a handbook consisting of 15 chapters in the field of research on digital content management and development in libraries, elaborating on various areas such as: Consortia, Digital Libraries, Digital Resource Management, EResources, Information Retrieval, Knowledge Management, Open Access, Repositories, RFID Technology. Even so, in this book, the research topics mentioned have not been studied in depth. In my opinion, considering the thematic importance of the book, it would be better to address newer research topics such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital twins, virtual reality, research data management, etc. It is suggested that a new collection consisting of the chapters of the proposed areas be compiled.
