References in any type of published works or sent to be published have always been a criterion for works evaluation. From a worm eyes view, one criterion to evaluate the papers has been one or two questions in the list sent to reviewers concerning the obsolescence of references. From a bird eyes view, the existence of organizations such as Thomson Reuters as well as some universities evaluating universities at the international level, is a sign of the importance of references. The dominance of concepts such as ISI that has been a matter of discussion among academicians and experts for some time, and its native version, that is ISC is another reason for the importance of references. The purpose of the present paper is to study the “M Lib. on knowledge and information science curriculum (revised): information management studies major” in order to indicate the weak points and strengths of the curriculum in terms of the updatedness of its references. The paper is somehow of content analysis type since it relies on references of the curriculum. Research population consists of all references presented in “M Lib. on knowledge and information science curriculum (revised): information management studies major”. The statistical test employed is mean.The paper illustrated that although Farsi references life is one-year less than the English references, both references are somehow obsolete. Number and mean of Farsi references compared to those of English references, and field-related Farsi references compared to those of English ones, showed a somehow better situation. The same was true about the number and mean of Farsi authored books compared to those of Farsi translated books.
