The aim of this study is to identify the strategic indicators Internet of Things (IoT) application in libraries and to present a conceptual model. The research was performed qualitatively and the data method of the foundation. Data were collected through documentary methods and interviews with a statistical sample of 13 professors of information science and the snowball sampling method. Interview data were analysed in three steps of open, axial and selective coding. Validity assessment was determined by the responsive method and reliability of two coding tests. After analysing the findings, 35 main codes of subcategories and concepts were discovered. The main categories were divided into eight categories: control and supervision, providing advanced services, accessibility, intelligence, maintaining security, new thinking and development, information literacy and method of use and satisfaction, and based on this, a paradigmatic and theoretical model was presented. In the theoretical model of the main phenomenon, the strategic indicators are the use of IoT in libraries, and the classes and the main phenomenon are related to the main class of application strategies. Strategic indicators of IoT application are leading in the growth and development of libraries. These indicators are important in the IoT use in libraries and their development. The eight categories identified in the conceptual model were considered significant by the interviewees. Thus, the indicators discovered are effective and necessary in the success of libraries that use the IoT.
Background and purpose:Organization must keep current skills, abilities, and in the current field of competition, and move one step ahead of other competitors; for this purpose, must be a high degree of trust inside the organization. Cybernetic management is a new approach in management of organizations that its main task according to internal issues. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between cybernetics management and organizational trust among librarians of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.Materials and methods:This is applied and analytical survey. which its population included all librarians of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, amounting to 42 people which were selected by census and participated in this research.Results:There has no relationship between components of Cybernetics management (participative decision making, commitment, pay equity, Correct flow of information, develop a sense of ownership, online education) with organizational trust amongst librarians of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. And there has a significant relationship between flat Structure of cybernetics management and organizational trust. For data analysis was used Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and linear regression.Conclusion:There is no significant relationship between Cybernetic management and organizational trust amongst librarians of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.
