Technological development plays a key role in the development, continuity and survival of an organization and through this advancement, organizations continue to develop and get upgraded. Therefore, instruction of digital technology to the staff has an essential role in the efficiency of organizations. Despite the significance of all the other relevant components in an organization, digital education and training plays a key role in the development of organizations. The more knowledgeable, creative and dynamic the staff within an organization are, the higher will be its power and dynamism, hence assuring the sustainable development of the organization. In this article, an attempt has been made to show the effects of digital technology training on organizational development in order to achieve practical results. In fact, As organizations and the organizational changes become more complex, employees and especially managers must use digital training opportunities to equip themselves with new capabilities, attitudes and knowledge to play active roles in the organization’s creative decision-making processes. Obviously, in today's fast changing industrial world, traditional training is not enough to meet the training needs of employees and manage complex organizations tasks. Therefore, newer and more appropriate models and methods such as digital education and learning should be used to train transformative, entrepreneurial and creative employees and managers.

Abstract The purpose of this research is to evaluate user interface in English web pages of selected national digital libraries based on the existent criterias in the resources for proposing a suitable interface for digital library of Payame Noor University. The method of research was according to survey and descriptive methods. A check list included 10 main criterions and 114 minor criterions used to evaluate. The statistical population included digital libraries from different countries include America, Austalia, France, Swiss, Newzeland, Netherland, Poland, Japan, India and Italy. SPSS software and Excel were used to analyse data . The theory and questions were tested by t-testand Friedman-test. The conclusions suggested that 50% of criterions were considered by 50% of libraries. American library was the first one with 70/40% in considering the criteria. France with 62/07% and Swiss with 40/12% were the second and the third one in considering the criteria, respectively. Also interface language with 6/68% used more than the other criterions. User control used with 6/68% used less than the other criterias. Looking at the observed components, it is clear that most of the libraries have been successful in complying with the general criteria and most of the points obtained are related to the compliance of the general criteria.Keywords: Digital library, User interface, Evaluation research, Evaluation criteria.

Purpose: This study was aimed at analyzing the copyright laws of Iran, Australia, the U.S. and library portals, thereby providing a framework for the copyright of library resources for the NLAI while considering the current situation and the domestic Iranian laws. Method: This is an applied study falling in the category of qualitative research. Documentary analysis method and comparative method were used to resolve the problem and answer the questions of the research. The two National Library of Australia (NLA) and Library of Congress (LC) together with the NLAI formed the research community. In addition, the Iranian Law for the Protection of Authors, Composers and Artists Rights (1970); the Australian Copyright Act (1968) and the U.S. Copyright Law (1976) were purposefully selected as three main resources among other documents and resources. Findings: Findings revealed that the dimensions of fair and non-profit use, duration of copyright, license and agreement, copyright policy, moral rights, economic rights and infringement of copyrights were the main dimensions that, along with 49 main components, formed the proposed framework for the copyright of information resources for the NLAI.Results: It should be acknowledged that there are some differences in different copyright fields between countries' laws, and each country takes into account its domestic conditions to compile and revise the laws. By following the laws of other countries, it is possible to effectively improve and develop copyright laws.

Knowledge management in research centers linked to government organizations in Iran formed the subject matter of this study, which focused on identifying key factors, challenges, and opportunities in adopting effective knowledge management practices. The purpose was to propose strategic frameworks and practical suggestions for optimizing knowledge management. The study used a qualitative research design and included a population of scientific articles on knowledge management in Iranian research centers, from which 55 articles were selected through purposive sampling. A “Document Review Checklist” developed by Smith (2018) was employed as the primary instrument, and data were analyzed using a systematic content analysis method. The results indicated that, while managers and experts recognized the value of knowledge management and displayed a willingness to establish relevant systems, limited information technology infrastructure, insufficient incentives, and cultural resistance posed serious barriers. A lack of comprehensive policies further hindered effective implementation. It was concluded that nurturing an organizational culture encouraging knowledge sharing and providing adequate training and incentives were essential for successful knowledge management, and leveraging advanced technologies could enhance processes, data accessibility, and collaboration. Ultimately, adopting international models and applying continuous improvements had the potential to boost research capacities and elevate organizational performance.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper was to critically analyze the textbook "Management of Digital Libraries: A Practical Guide" written by Mitra Samiei (2023) from Chapar Publications and evaluate it based on the standards and criteria of university textbooks.Methodology: This was an applied research study in terms of purpose and mixed-method in terms of approach, which used critical qualitative analysis and descriptive survey. A checklist was employed for qualitative evaluation of the content and formal structures of the textbook on a 5-point Likert scale.Findings: According to the analysis results, the textbook scored 54/70 (72%) for formal criteria, which was acceptable. In contrast, it scored 40/70 (53.33%) and 47/70 (67.14%) for structural and writing criteria, respectively, which were unacceptable. It scored 66/95 (69.47%, almost 70%) for content criteria. In general, the textbook under criticism can be suitable and practical for students as a work that collects all the materials available in digital libraries by solving the stated problems.Conclusions: The factors that can help improve the present work are modifying photo captions, the publisher's innovative cover design, footnotes for jargon, required persons and concepts, citations, glossary and index, and a list of tables and figures. Therefore, the author is recommended to provide practical examples and new instances, employ up-to-date sources, reduce textbook volume, and avoid duplicate content to improve the current work in the next editions. Also, among the strengths of this textbook is a separate chapter dedicated to digital librarianship, organizational structure, and the author's credibility and expertise.
