Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the attitudes of librarians about the degree of compliance of the integrated management system in the libraries of Shahid Chamran University and Ahvaz Jondishapur University of Medical Sciences with the Semantic Web
Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and has been done by survey method and with a descriptive approach. The statistical population of the study consists of all librarians of the libraries of Shahid Chamran University and Ahvaz Jondishapur University of Medical Sciences this study a researcher-made checklist was used to collect data. The SPSS software was used to analyze the data.
Findings: Findings showed that the level of knowledge of librarians about the semantic web in general and by components was limited. The results also showed that in the opinion of librarians in the study community, the comprehensive software available in the librarians of two universities has limited compatibility with the semantic web. The results showed that there is no significant relationship between demographic variables and librarians familiarity with the semantic web.
Conclusion: The general results of the research showed that from the point of view of librarians the degree of adaptation of the comprehensive software available in the studied libraries to the semantic web has been limited. librarians also have limited knowledge of the semantic web and need to be trained in this area.
