Abstract

Objective: To determine the components of the user-website interface affecting the interaction on the web (studied by the National Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran) on the rate of users' use of the website to retrieve information.
Methodology: The statistical population in the qualitative part was the experts of the National Library of Tehran and sampling in the qualitative stage was targeted and the number of samples was determined based on theoretical adequacy. In a small part, the statistical population was all users of the National Library of Tehran, which according to Morgan table, the sample number was 384 people. Data were also collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using structural equation model, SPSS software, and LISREL.
Findings: The results of structural equations also showed that the effect of user-website interface components on web interaction was positive and significant and according to the results of Friedman test, website technical design had the greatest effect on users' motivation to use the National Library website.
Originality: From the users' point of view, all the studied components are very important in their reuse of the National Library website. Therefore, it is recommended that the designers and experts of the National Library pay attention to the criteria set out in this research and the principles of user-orientation when designing the user-website interface.
