Purpose: Organizations are required to involve in technological innovation for products development & unit services &creating benefit in markets. In addition, a successful technological innovation should be based on valid knowledge resources. Thus, the aim is to design a model of technological innovation capabilities & its impact on personal knowledge management in the staff of public libraries.Methodology: The research method is mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population in the qualitative section consists of 15 specialists & faculty members of the public libraries of the country & in the quantitative section all the employees of the institution are 6171 individuals. In the qualitative part, the snowball sampling method was used, furthermore, in the quantitative part using the stratified random sampling method, 362 people were selected as the sample. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the qualitative part of the research was used to assess & structural equations were used to analyze the data using SPSS & PLS Smart software.Findings: Technological innovation capabilities have six main factors: education & learning, research & development, management, human resources, market analysis & organizational structure. Also, technological innovation capabilities have a significant effect on individual knowledge management.Conclusion: The results can help managers to plan to upgrade & improve the status of technological innovation capabilities of employees in public libraries by identifying its dimensions and also by improving technological innovation capabilities, provide the basis for improving personal knowledge of employees.

Purpose:: Models of information-seeking behavior describe, explain and predict changes inconceptual model to respond to the information needs of professionalsMethodology: The research method was a narrative review. In order to identify the main models of information-seeking behavior, Case's point of view was used, according to his opinion, 7 models are known as the most cited models of information-seeking behavior. At the same time, the number of popular new models was also identified and analyzed. In addition, the knowledge and experience of the authors were also used in the identification of elements, relationships between elements, and the final design of the model.Finding: son the review and analysis of the concepts related to information retrieval as well as the most cited models of information-seeking behavior and the knowledge and experience of the authors, the response model to the information needs of professionals was designed with 28 elements. This model starts with the factors that form information needs and ends with the end of the search and user satisfaction. The most features of this model is the integration of the field of information-seeking behavior with information retrieval, a processual and causal view of this field, attention to the context (cognitive, social, individual aspects, etc.) and the detailedness of its processConclusion: This model is a combination of high cited models of information seeking behavior and theoretical and practical issues of information retrieval, as well as the knowledge and experience of the authors.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the users expectations of the public libraries of Kermanshah in the technology age.Methedology: The present study is a descriptive-analytical study using a researcher-made questionnaire. The statistical population included all the members of public libraries in Kermanshah. A simple random sampling method was used and 377 subjects were selected as the sample size based on the Cochran formula.Findings: In the technology age, users expect the dimensions of staff and librarians and technology to be at a desirable (above average) level. The expectations of users in the dimensions of resources, innovation, entrepreneurship and reference services are at an unsatisfactory (less than average) level and the expectations of outsourcing are modest. Comparison of the average rankings showed that the highest expectations were obtained from the viewpoint of users in the dimensions of librarians and staff and technology services, respectively. Friedman test results showed that users' expectations of public library services differed in importance and priority.Conclusion: Libraries have poor performance in attracting different classes and have not been able to meet their expectations in the technology age.

Purpose The general purpose of this research is to determine the effect of using Web 2 tools in knowledge management in State Management Training Center.Methedology: This research is an applied research that has been carried out by an analytical survey method. The tool for collecting information is a researcher-made questionnaire that includes 39 questions of the Likert scale type. The statistical population was 120 people, based on Morgan's table, 92 employees of the government management training center were selected as a sample. Data analysis using S. software. SPSS was done.Findings: : The employees of the State Management Training Center use the three tools of blog, wiki and social networks more than other web 2 tools which include podcast, tag, RSS, mashup and instant messenger. The results show that the level of knowledge management of employees in this center is in a favorable condition, but the level of knowledge management in the State Management Training Center is not in a favorable condition.Conclusion: In this center, employees tend to use web 2 tools to share their knowledge. Therefore, by planning to remove the limitations and create suitable conditions in the center for the use of these tools, the tacit knowledge of employees can be turned into explicit knowledge.
