Abstract

The paper examines the level of information technology (IT) application in university libraries in Iran. As a background, an attempt was made to present current status of IT application in the libraries. In this study the whole population of 79 university libraries under the jurisdiction of two ministries: Culture and Higher Education (MCHE) and Health, Treatment and Medical Education (HTME), was surveyed. The significant difference between the level of IT application in two library groups, i.e. MCHE and HTME, and the relationship between the level of IT application and the number of computers in use and the annual expenditure on IT, have also been discussed. The paper concluded that the automation of Iranian university libraries is a continuous exercise.
