The Librarianship and Information Organization Studies is a double-blind peer-reviewed open access journal published by the National Library and Archives of Iran. The journal publishes original research articles in the fields of librarianship, information organization, and knowledge organization.

The journal provides a scholarly platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to present theoretical, methodological, and applied studies related to library and information science.

All articles are freely available online immediately upon publication without subscription or access barriers, in accordance with the journal’s open access policy.

Librarianship and Information Organization Studies published since May 1990 by the National Library of Iran (NLI), is a peer-reviewed, open access journal for original contributions. Until 2011, the title of our journal was Faslnameh-yeh Ketab [Book Quarterly]. The change occurred in 2011 when the editorial board decided to shift the focus of the journal to information organization, as the role of NLI is to undertake the leadership in this area. The new title was accepted in Feb. 2022. There is an agreement between NLI and the Iranian Library and Information Science Association (ILISA) for cooperation with regard to publication of this journal.

Therefore, while we welcome submissions in other subject areas, our priority is receiving research and analytical articles that contribute to the advancement of information organization theory and practice.
