- W2728927307 abstract "IntroductionLibraries and information centers aim to facilitate user access to information. Operating based on the Ranganathan's Five laws of library science, they try to meet the information needs of the users in shortest possible time and provide the best resources. To achieve this, the use of technologies has been a major interest for librarians and information experts. The prevalent use of smartphones and the increasing number of applications have created a strong market and user base. Despite economic crises and recent recessions in Iran, the market for smartphones and applications have steadily grown (Abudi, 2013). This further highlights the significance and influence of mobile-based technologies.According to a report by Google in early 2015, more Google searches take place on mobile devices than on computers in ten countries, including the US and Japan. Therefore, the company has transformed its search algorithm to create a more mobile-friendly experience (Sterling, 2015).Modern library users increasingly use their mobile phones to connect to the internet and use library applications to access information. Library applications have accelerated and improved library processes, allowing both librarians and users to perform their tasks more easily. Today, this information need is stronger than ever. It is thus necessary for libraries to make more investments in this area as social networks become stronger and more modern.Millions of people around the world use social networks to interact with one another. Due to the prevalence of social networks use, academic libraries can use them as a means of communication with faculty members, employees, and students. Social media can provide a better understanding of user needs and facilitate book introduction and marketing of new services. Telegram is a new messaging application based on cloud computing. Telegram users can exchange text messages, images, videos, and documents (all formats are supported) that are coded and can self-destruct.Telegram Messenger was launched in 2013 by Nikolai and Pavel Durov. Currently, it has more than 35 million monthly users. Channels are a new capability. They can be created by an administrator to broadcast messages to an unlimited number of subscribers. Members cannot add posts to the channel. The advances in virtual services to library users on the one hand and the prevalence of mobile-based social networks (e.g. Viber, Telegram, WhatsApp) on the other hand, the following question arises: to what extent do libraries in Iran follow Ranganathan's fifth law, which posits that the library is a growing organism? Thus, the purpose the present research was to examine the use of Telegram Messenger as a mobile-based social network in Iranian academic libraries, and to use content analysis to examine the materials shared by libraries on their Telegram channels.Literature ReviewStudies show that the influence of mobile-based library services has been remarkable in academic libraries around the world. Penetration of new technologies into developing countries is usually slower compared to developed countries, and there are always situations where the cultural impact of using a new technology is not well researched. Naderi et al. (2015) examined the integration of radio-frequency identification (RFID) and mobile-based services in libraries for the blind. The hardware and software properties required to implement their conceptual model was evaluated. Finally, they outlined the procedure for implementing the model in Shiraz Library for the Blind and assessed it to be cost-effective.Moradi and Esmati (2008) performed a case study of electronic communication in Iran in a case study of the electronic discussion group in Ferdowsi University. The results showed that there were194 posts on library news and events, 21 posts on IT news, 96 posts on Iran Librarianship Society, 172 posts on conferences and workshops, 22 posts on higher education, 131 posts on new resources and materials, 19 posts on professional search, 14 posts on recruitment ads, 14 posts on book fairs, 23 posts on the social status of librarianship, and 156 posts on FAQs. …" @default.
