Abstract:
Purpose: Investigation of the rate of users' satisfaction of current NBI and users' expectations of
future NBI.
Design/Methodology/approach: The method of this research is survey methodology. The tool of
data collection was questionnaire which was divided by 23 close and 3 open questions and 152
persons were chosen as population-based study.
Findings: The results of this study showed more than half of the users are satisfied with the
comprehensiveness of NBI resources. The future services which are expected by users include
providing a union catalogue, the possibility of book reservation via OPAC and keeping a history of the
user’s search strategy. According to the user expectations in existence of the distinctions elements in
similar records of NBI, NLAI should implement new user-centered standards such as FRBR. The high
user request for presenting related subjects to users’ subject search suggest that NBI requires the
implementation of FRSAD as well.
Originality/Value: No previous research in this field studied the expectations and viewpoints of
individual users of NBI.
