Methodology: To do this applied research an evaluative survey research method was used. Data collection method is interview with experts and evaluation by using checklist. Research population consisted of 23 intra-organizational library softwares. Findings: The research findings showed that out of a total of 23 intra-organizational library softwares, 9 softwares are running. It is also stated that the main reasons for turning libraries or organizations into develop intra-organizational softwares, are Reducing costs, defining specific functions for the institution, integrating the software environment of the institution, and communicating library software with other software of institution or like military organizations, are security issues. The viewpoint of librarians of intra-organizational softwares in two functional and technical sections shows that in terms of functional indicators, Loan department of Pand software (64.4%), Loan department of Parvan software (70.1%), Loan Department of Tehran software (56.2%), Loan department of Maava software (80 %) and information management department (Loan and Orders) of Simad software (72/7 %), in comparison with other indicators of the functional sector, are in a favorable situation. Also, in terms of technical indicators, the operational part of Pand software (46/6 %), Reliability of Simad software (100 %), the operational part of University of Tehran software (33/3 %), maintenance department of University of Tehran software (61/53 %) and performance department of Maava software (100 %), in comparison with other technical indicators, are in a favorable situation. Conclusion: In technical dimension, technical standards softwares were not fully considered and in the functional section, given the workflow of organizing and retrieving and loan of subset libraries, efforts have been made to address important needs of most libraries (from the perspective of software developers) that have not been successful. It seems that upgrading and modifying them also impose costly burdens on organizations, and finally, because of the lack of support and not being updated with the changes and development, the existing softwares are deadlocked, wasting time and money. |
