Two questionnaires were used to collect the data of virtual networks and non-syllabic study. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation coefficient, single-sample t-test and independent t-test were used.Findings: The results of this study showed that the correlation coefficient between the amount of social networks usage and the rate of study of non-teaching resources was statistically significant (P <0.01). As a result, with increasing the use of social networks of students, their non- Also, the average use of social networks and the average non-syllabus study in students of Payame Noor University of Izeh is equal to 56.90 and 45.30 respectively, resulting in the use of social networks and the amount of study Non-syllabus among students of Payame Noor University is lower than the normal amount The amount of t calculated for using social networks and non-syllabus study in male and female students was 1.5 and.37 respectively, which shows that there is no significant relationship between these two relationships.Conclusion: Acceptance of virtual social media has not been overlooked in recent years, so if academics and administrators lose sight of the extent and the positive and negative factors of the use of virtual social networks among their students and society, they will lose a huge amount of money.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of compliance of bibliographic records of geographical materials of the National Archives and Library of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the rules of RDA.Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and has been done by survey research method and descriptive-analytical approach. The research population included 3946 map records and 139 atlas records. The research sample was selected with 351 map records and 139 atlas records. Data collection tools include a checklist based on Bibco, fields taken from the map and atlas of Iran MARC in the National Library of Iran and is one of the adaptive tables of Iran MARC to RDA.Findings: In the first part of the study, it was found that 25.64% of the fields related to the map and 22.72% of the fields related to the atlas have information and the rest of the fields have no information and content. In the second part of the research, the results showed that 35.77% of the information in the map records and 39.77% in the atlas records, with RDA elements are compatible.Conclusion: Most of the records fields examined are without information. Block 2 in map records and blocks zero and 1 in atlas records have the most compliance, furthermore block 4 in map and atlas records has the least compliance with the rules and elements of RDA. The main reason for the lack of compliance is that the fields are empty. The geographical material records which currently are available in the National Library are incomplete and have shortcomings for the use and implementation of RDA , therefore these shortcomings must be investigated and supplemented.
