The presentation of the influence of the Educational Interactions of faculty members and students with librarians on Scientific Products: Grounded Theory Approach

Extended abstract

The relationship between faculty members and students with librarians is one of the important areas in academic interactions. It has a significant impact on the scientific and research capacity of the university. The purpose of this study was to provide a model for educational interactions among faculty members and students with librarians and their impact on scientific products. This research is based on qualitative approach and using data - foundation method. Data collection tool was open questions and in order to collect information theoretical sampling was used with purposeful method, based on which the questions were distributed among faculty members and librarians. The analysis of qualitative data was carried out using coding method based on systematic design of grounded theory of corbin and strauss (2008). Accordingly, the required data were collected and through open coding, encoding - based, selective coding of categories, were recognized. After reviewing and comparing these codes, the common themes were identified and the subjects were reviewed with backgrounds and theoretical foundations of conformity and common concepts. After performing open coding, in axial coding, concepts (codes) were common and semantically similar. Finally, the model was designed. The results showed that in terms of knowledge sharing , knowledge experiences , knowledge and knowledge and knowledge and information as core categories and causal conditions (skill training and knowledge literacy , interaction and knowledge experiences) , contextual factors (university communication, culture and use of information and communication skills) and outcomes (increased scientific production , cost management and team work) were identified.

Introduction: the university is of The most familiar and popular hopeful institution for the development of scientific products in the country (Jami, 2011). The institution of the university is one of the main cultural-scientific institutions of any society that places the burden of education on the youth of any society according to the three basic missions: knowledge production (research), knowledge transfer (education) and providing scientific-social and cultural services (publication). Is responsible and must show a comprehensive effort in the creation and growth of scientific professionals in the community itself (Bagheri Heidari, 2016). One of the new missions in universities is to increase scientific and research productions. Given that scientific production in universities is one of the indicators of dynamism and maturity of societies, one of the powerful resources and tools for the production of science and research can undoubtedly be the use of libraries and databases. Named intelligence services, which in the last two decades has caused an upward trend in the production of science in the world and also in Iran (Ghaffari et al., 2019). Therefore, if we consider the university as a system, the activities of the library and librarians as a subsystem affect the performance of the whole system. And shows the importance of identifying teacher-student educational and research interactions with librarians in the process of scientific production. The importance of collaboration between librarians and academics in enhancing the academic success of students and research capacity has been increasingly recognized in universities. The purpose of this paper is  to identify the factors affecting the educational and research interactions of faculty members and students with librarians on scientific products.

Methodology:  This research is based on qualitative approach and using data - foundation method. Data collection tool was open questions and in order to collect information theoretical sampling was used with purposeful method, based on which the questions were distributed among faculty members and librarians. The analysis of qualitative data was carried out using coding method based on systematic design of grounded theory of corbin and strauss (2008). Accordingly, the required data were collected and through open coding, encoding - based, selective coding of categories, were recognized. After reviewing and comparing these codes, the common themes were identified and the subjects were reviewed with backgrounds and theoretical foundations of conformity and common concepts. After performing open coding, in axial coding, concepts (codes) were common and semantically similar. Finally, the model was designed..

Discussion and results:  The results showed that in terms of knowledge sharing , knowledge experiences , knowledge and knowledge and knowledge and information as core categories and causal conditions ( skill training and knowledge literacy , interaction and knowledge experiences) , contextual factors ( university communication, culture and use of information and communication skills) and outcomes ( increased scientific production , cost management and team work) were identified. In this research, the teacher-student educational interaction with the librarian is considered as a pivotal phenomenon, because its traces exist in parts of scientific-research productions and play a pivotal role. Causal conditions: a category that directly affects the central category, ie the educational interaction of teacher-student with the librarian. Three categories of interactions and communication, interaction of knowledge experiences and necessary knowledge and information were identified as causal conditions affecting the central phenomenon. Intervener Conditions: General context conditions that can affect the main issue. Organizational specific considerations and the disadvantages of disclosing research information have been identified as two intervening categories affecting the central phenomenon. Underlying conditions: Inadequacy in knowledge dissemination, socio-cultural failure and economic failure have been identified as underlying conditions affecting the central phenomenon. Strategies: Specific actions or interactions that result from a phenomenon. Academic communication, culture building and the use of information and communication technology were identified as strategies in this study. Many interviewees believe that teacher-teacher-student, teacher-student, teacher-student-librarian interactions, holding conferences and training sessions between professors, students, and librarians improve university communication. Also, the use of new educational and communication technologies and strengthening the culture of teamwork and knowledge sharing increases the desire of individuals to conduct research in the direction of scientific production.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, interactions and communication, interaction of knowledge experiences and necessary knowledge and information are conditions that affect the impact of educational interactions between faculty members and students with librarians on scientific products. This effect, however, is not a pure effect but is mediated by other factors. In fact, the intervening conditions and mediators guide such influence. These conditions include specific organizational considerations and the disadvantages of disclosing research information. These factors can influence scientific productions by influencing the research interactions of faculty members and students with librarians. Strategies and strategies affecting the educational interactions of faculty members and students with librarians include: academic communication, culture building, and the use of information and communication technology.

Since the Cooperation is the most important strategy for the development and empowerment of the university. It is suggested in of interaction between professors and students with librarians use influential, decision-making, creative and innovative managers in policy-making and planning in order to take steps to improve scientific productions through comprehensive planning and culture-building.
