In this research, by investigating spiritual capital literature and its relationship with other assets such as social capital we have discussed the important role of the media in promoting and consolidating concepts and the elements of these two capital due to prominence role of the media in changing attitudes And we express these concepts, withdrawal way of the charges of abstraction and non-applicability the uses of media With regard to consensus of all experts who were interviewed in this present study and different resulting themes, "Media recognized as a leader of transformation of in organizations" and social networks were introduced as the most influential present media in academic environments , that don’t have the disadvantages cited for these media such as complications and threats resulting to too virtualization in such networks, because of the powerful supporter groups in real science space, and the universities. With extraction resulting themes from the interviews, it is found that the enforcing spiritual capital in learning and knowledge-based organizations such as University of Tehran, through the media, requires the definition of a kind of social-media based on an independent and autonomous system, based on characteristics that are found in Era-based Cellular Planning.

Methods: Contingent valuation and Willingness to pay techniques is used that are part of the declared preferred method. Statistical populations are the central library users including students, faculty members and staff of universities under the Ministry of science, research and technology. Using a two-stage cluster sampling, 10 Central Library was selected. The sample size Calculated by using Mitchell and Carson formula 854 people on Level 10%. Data collection tool was Two-dimensional self-made questionnaire with 40 items. That analysis of data Statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics and linear and logistic regression were used. Results: Average willingness to pay for every person is using monthly the services of the central library in condition of improve is £ 8410 and the critical condition for the preservation of library services is approximately £ 101,560.17.6 percent were not willing to pay in critical condition. The results showed that the variables of occupation, education and income, have a positive and significant effect but variable of user gender has no effect on willingness to pay more for use of library services is annual.The average willingness to pay for any person to use Total services Central Library Using integral willingness to pay equal to 92,830 rial.

Objective: The popularity of using social networks around the world is increasing; the desire of users, especially the student population, to join the networks is indicative of a satisfaction that has strengthened their incentive to use. Unfortunately, in Iran, the negative outlook for technology developments in the social networking sector has been far removed from the motivations of our audiences from the scientific recognition of such incentives. To this end, this study aimed to identify the motivations of students’using social networks sach as Facebook, Instagram and telegram. Methodology: This applied research was carried out using qualitative methodology and methodology of content oriented analysis. Samples were selected on the basis of criteria from Tehran University students. In this research, 19 students with high social networking use of Facebook, Instagram and telegram was selected and semi-structured interview were conducted.

The purpose of this paper was to foster a better understanding of research problem finding by integrating the qualitative and quantitative findings of prior research under a conceptual model. It reviews key findings, themes and ideas from selected published academic papers on research problem finding, with a specific focus on what factors affecting problem finding. This article has conducted a meta-synthesis approach by adopting “Sandelowski and Barroso's” seven-step method to investigate what the features of research problem finding are, through interpretation of previous documents. The author conducted a literature review of all documents available in online databases that contained the word “problem finding” in either the title, abstract and/or keywords and with a discussion of problem finding in the main text. In total, 38 scientific documents were analyzed in order to create a meta-synthesis of the primary findings. This process revealed 138 codes, 24 themes and 4 categories that outline issues related to the research problem finding. Personality feature; psychological feature; thinking feature (creative thinking and critical thinking); and educational feature were the components of the conceptual model. Based on available data, this study is the first of its kind that has identified the features of research problem finding in four aspects. In addition, the number of factors identified in this study is greater and more comprehensive than that of any previous research. This study has also proposed a conceptual model and utilized a meta-synthesis approach that has never been conducted to date in the field of problem finding.

The purpose of present study is investigates psychometric properties of information seeking anxiety scale in university students. Sample in this study consists of 262 university student (137 female and 125 male). Respectively the subscale reliabilities were acceptable and were appropriate Barriers with information resources (α=0.85), barriers with computer and the Internet (α=0.79), barriers with library services (α=0.83), barriers with Searching for information (α=0.80), technical barriers, (α=0.82), and barriers with topic identification (α=0.87). Confirmatory Factor analysis according model was confirmed. results 6-factor Internal consistency coefficients were 0/74. Based on results can be said, 6-factor model (Barriers with information resources, barriers with computer and the Internet, barriers with library services, barriers with Searching for information, technical barriers, and barriers with topic identification) of information seeking anxiety scale is valid and reliable instrument for assessment the information seeking anxiety in university students.

Abstract Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the different ingredients used in the manuscript of the Nezami’s Panj Ganj. This unique illustrated version belongs to the Mughal era in the eighth century AH and it has been purchased by central library and documentation centre of University of Tehran in 1346. methodology: According to the exquisite nature of this work and limitations of sampling, non-destructive methods such as optical microscope polarizing (PLM), spectroscopy, Portable fluorescence X-ray (micro-XRF) and spectroscopy Fourier- transform infrared equipped Attenuted total reflectance (ATR) was used and the ingredients available in paper and the colours have been used in the decorations and paintings of this manuscript have been identified. Findings: The results showed that in the paper text and the margin of this manuscript, mixture of linen and hemp has been used by different percentages. The paintings of this manuscript have been drawing on a layer of white Huntite (double carbonate of magnesium and calcium). In the headpiece and paintings of this manuscript, vermilion, ultramarine, indigo, orpiment, verdigris, gold, charcoal and Huntite pigments used and in some colours like pink, orange, gray and brown mixture of two or three pigments has been used. All pigments and materials have been used in the production of paper and colours were known and common at the time of writing the script.
