摘要
The purpose of this study was to investigate some of the concerns of Iranian special library managers regarding research and research competencies required by special librarians. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, 21 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Iranian special library managers. The results indicated that among the participants there was generally a positive view about research. However, some obstacles were encountered, such as lack of support from the administrators of the parent organization and a lack of competent librarians. The paper concludes with recommendations for expected research competencies for special librarians.
