Purpose: The purpose of this study was to feasibility implementation of knowledge management based on the Bukowitz & William's model components and also the effects of this model on knowledge contribute in Qom province public libraries.Methodology: A survey - descriptive method was used. The population was included 92 librarians of Qom province public libraries. The statistical sample was selected 73 people based on Krejcie & Morgan table. Sampling method is stratified random sampling and data collection tool was a researcher-developed questionnaire with the Likert scale. The face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by expert teachers and its reliability was calculated as 0.96 by Cronbach's alpha method. For data analysis was used descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS software.Findings: Findings revealed that the feasibility implementation of Bukowitz & William's KM model in the Qom province public libraries is upper than the average (3.29). The results of regression test showed that this model can predict 75% of the effects on the "knowledge contribute" component. The components of "knowledge learning" and "knowledge assess" have the most impact on the "knowledge contribute" component. Also, the feasibility implementation of KM in terms of demographic characteristics i.e. gender, discipline, work experience, academic degree and work type were no significant difference from librarian's view.Conclusion: The Bukowitz & William's model was approved as a suitable model for KM implementation in non-profit organizations like public libraries. Also, effective factors in this model on "knowledge contribute" were identified which will be applicable for managers and librarians of public libraries in Qom province.

MethodologyThis This research is a descriptive survey and carried out using a questionnaire. To measure the reliability was used Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The statistical population of this study is 248 staff of the National Archive of Iran. Using Cochran's formula, 151 of them were selected as samples. Findings: The results indicate that knowledge sharing methods have a positive effect on the tendency to share knowledge and knowledge sharing behavior. Research findings also show that" PeerAssistant", "conference and gathering," and "Team Work" methods of interest, and "seminars" and "Community Of Practice" are less desirable ways for Iranian National Archives staff to share knowledge. Conclusion: The methods of sharing the knowledge of employees as one of the key and important factors in the occurrence of knowledge sharing behavior play a role in providing this factor which can contribute to the behavior of knowledge sharing and only some of the methods of knowledge sharing are of interest to employees. Therefore, the use of knowledge sharing methods that is more in the interest of individuals will better lead to the behavior of knowledge sharing.

Purpose: Applying bibliometric indicators, this study tries to investigate the status of Persian knowledge management research based on the records in the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC) during the years 2008 to 2017.Methodology: This is a scientometric applied research. Bibliometric techniques and social network analysis are used in conducting this research. The research population consists of articles published in the field of knowledge management that have been indexed in ISC database during a 10-years period (2008-2017). BibExcel, UCInet, NetDraw and Vosviewer are among software that were used for analyzing data and drawing maps in this research.Findings: The results showed a relatively steady growth in the number of knowledge management articles indexed in ISC between 2008 and 2017. “Akhavan P” is considered to be Iran's top researcher in the field of knowledge management in terms of the number of articles, citations and h-index. Also, based on co-authorship indicators, again “Akhavan P” owns the best position in the network. Moreover, results uncovered that 8 clusters are formed in knowledge management research.Conclusions: Due to the diversity of authors from different disciplines among the articles as well as the variety of clusters resulting from co-word analysis, the present study confirms the theory that the field of knowledge management is an interdisciplinary one. Finally, based on integrative indicators, it can be stated that “Akhavan P” is the most influential researcher of Iran in knowledge management research during past 10 years.

Purpose: The important issue before the Knowledge Management deployment is to identify and prioritize the factors affect the level of organizational readiness for implementing the project. To adopt Knowledge Management in Iranian organizatiosn, effective implementation factors of Knowledge Management need to be identified. Hence, the main aim of this study, in order to establish an integrated system of Knowledge Management, is to propose a model to assess the level of readiness for Knowledge Management in Iranian organizations. Methodology: This research consists of two parts; the first is a combination of quantitative methods, and the second is a discussion about exploratory interviews with experts on Knowledge Management. Then, the obtained data of these interviews are coded and classified. Finally, the initial model of this research with 8 main components and 43 sub-components is designed. The research tool for this part is a questionnaire with 55 questions. The internal consistencies of the answers to the questionnaire are measured by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, 0.97. Findings: In this study, the coefficient R2 structural model of endogenous latent variables (dependent) of the model, with the top 0.67 is approved as a strong model. GOF indicators are tested to assess and measure both structural and measurement model together with the amount of 0.87 which confirms the overall fitness model pretty well. Conclusion: The results are analyzed by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and the proposed model with 8 dimensions is approved. The main components include organizational culture, organizational structure, technology, leadership, human resources, competitive position, and social conditions.

Methodology: The articles were systematically searched(content analysis) in the Scopus database and 54 articles were selected as the final society of this research. Then the goal, communities, methods and tools, findings and suggestions for further research papers were reviewed. Findings: The aim of most articles is to review the view of librarians about knowledge management (25.92%). Most of the research on knowledge management has been done on librarians (74.17%). Out of the total number of researches, 37 (68/51%) and 9 (16/66%) were used quantitatively and qualitatively. Among the tools used, the closed response questionnaire is ranked 28th (51.85%). The positive relationship between knowledge management and creativity and innovation and the impact of culture and organizational dimensions on knowledge management were the most frequent in the findings section of the articles. Most suggestions are related to the need for syllabuses for librarians and library students in knowledge management, and to conduct international studies to explore the differences in knowledge management in different environments. The results indicate that the components of the study are up to date, variety and breadth. conclusion: There is less variation in the research community, research methods, and tools. Most researches are based on the librarians' community and by quantitative method and questionnaire. It is suggested that articles be required to submit one or more proposals for further research.
