Abstract: (3891 Views)
Objective: The aim is to discover the underlying context components of IOT usability in Iranian libraries: A qualitative approach consistent with grounded theory.
Method: This qualitative study was conducted based on grounded theory. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 faculty members of knowledge and information science based on purposeful and chain methods. Responsive and inter-docking method (repeatability index) had been used for validity and reliability.
Findings: By reviewing the texts and propositions obtained from the interviews, 7 basic components of IoT usability in Iranian libraries were identified from 36 categories and concepts. These include communication and exchange of information, awareness and cognition, intelligences, Information findability, information literacy, self-reliance and automating, and structures and infrastructures.
Conclusion: The identified underlying components provide a suitable platform for the rule and realization of the main phenomenon of IoT usability in Iranian libraries. Based on the results, the paradigm and theoretical model of IoT usability is drawn and presented in Iranian libraries. By identifying the underlying components and their relationship in the theoretical model and based on the attitudes of interviewees in Iranian libraries, libraries could use it to establish and implement IoT.
