This study was conducted to investigate the health information needs and its challenges of the Afghan, Iraqi and Pakistani immigrants in Iran. Methods: This survey-analytic study was carried out among 69 immigrants with cancer who were hospitalized in Tehran, Mashhad, Kerman, Zahedan and Ahvaz Hospitals. We used a self-designed questionnaire to collect data and use Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis Test and SPSS software was used to analyze data. Finding: There was no significant difference between health information needs of cancer patients and their gender, age, marital status, level of education, job, lifestyle and rural-urban residency. We also founded that the most information need of participants was about "access to healthy living" (4.19) and the main obstacle to access to needed information needs was "lack of enough knowledge in using the health information in both electronic and printed resources" (4.01). Conclusion: It is inevitable to pay enough attention to the health information needs of cancer patients, because of their cultural and social differences with the Iranian Society. Therefore, identifying their health information needs in the course of treatment and providing appropriate information by information scientists and doctors is helpful to decrease their mental stress and increase their mental security which would improve their well-being and accelerate their recovery from disease. 62 Special Traditional and Relative Overlap of Scopus and Web of Science Bibliographic Databases on Endocrine Field Nooshinfard Fatemeh m Emami Zahra n Shahrokhi-Farid Razieh o m Department of Knowledge & Information Science, Science and Research Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran n Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) o Endocrine Research Center, Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS), Tehran, Iran 1 4 2016 2 1 31 39 20 04 2015 25 01 2016 Introduction: This study aimed to determine the traditional and relative overlap between Scopus and Web of Science databases in Endocrine System Diseases. Methods: This research is a descriptive survey and an applied study. Research population includes all articles retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science databases. 11 Descriptors and 120 sub-heading were searched in endocrine field in 2009. The bibliographic information of all the articles was entered into Endnote software. Then common articles between the two databases and articles unique to each database were determined. Primary data needed for overlap calculation were obtained using Endnote Software and data analysis was done using Microsoft Excel. Results: The results of this study showed that 7448 of articles on endocrine retrieved from Scopus and Web of Science databases, 4216 of which belonged to Scopus and 3242 to Web of Science. There were 2799 common titles, while there were 1417 titles in Scopus and 443 titles in Web of Science. The traditional overlaps were 60.70%, Relative overlap between Scopus and Web of Science for 11 descriptive were found to be 86.33% vs. 66.38%, respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that Scopus has an approximately higher relative overlap than Web of Science in all of the subject, and regarding the high percentage of overlaps these two databases can be an appropriate alternative to each other. Understanding of this fact can help physicians, researchers who work in the field of Endocrinology to meet their information needs using only one of the two databases. 75 Special The Emergence of Massive Open Online Courses in Medical Education Omati Elaheh p Tavassoli-Farahi Mina p tums Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences 1 4 2016 2 1 40 53 22 09 2015 19 12 2015 Introduction: MOOCs are referred to Massive Open Online Courses that provide chances for expanding public access to education.

They can properly teach informational literacy to users. Hence, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the provision of information literacy education by Iranian University of Medical Sciences by checking websites of their central libraries. Methods: Samples were 54 central library websites affiliated to Iranian University of Medical Sciences. For evaluating, we directly investigated the websites from 21 December 2014 to 5 January 2015 using a chek list consisted of 10 criteria. Excel software was used for data analysis. Results: The findings showed that the most used tab in library websites was “about us” (which included “the history of library”, “introducing library”, “library's staff and operating hours”) with 96.62 percent followed by The list of publications and frequently asked questions with 41.7% each No website contained “seminars”, “conferences”, “workshops and lectures” options. Regarding usage of information literacy elements, Birjand and Gilan Universities of Medical Sciences were ranked first (70%) followed by Mashhad, Kerman and Gonabad (60%) and Babol, Bandar Abbas, Booshehr, Tabriz and Shiraz with 50% were observed to be ranked third in order, respectively. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that Iranian Universities of Medical Sciences’ central library websites do not provide informational literacy education elements adequately, hence the provision of informational literacy education is at a low level on these websites.Therfore, website’s authorities should use vastly information literacy criteria. 76 Special Investigating the Iranian Medical Journals Compliance with the Structural Requirements of PubMed Central Journal Selection Criteria Shahbodaghi Azam farhadi Arezoo Shekofteh Maryam Karami Manoochehr Shahid beheshti University of Medical Sciences Shahid beheshti University of Medical Sciences 1 4 2016 2 1 70 74 25 10 2015 25 01 2016 Introduction :In recent years, there is a growing trend in Iranian medical journals in terms of numbers. In order to be able to be included in international indexing databases, these journals should comply with the required criteria of these databases. So, the aim of this study was to determine the adaptation of Iranian medical journals with the structural criteria of PubMed central journal selection standards. Methods: The current study is a descriptive- applied one. The statistical population was all of the medical journals approved by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education (n=252). The data collection tool was the check list of structural criteria extracted from document of Pub Med central journal selection criteria. The data analysis was performed using SPSS20 through descriptive statistics methods. Results: The results revealed that 98 journals (% 38.5), are published in English. It was found that 29 journals (% 11.5) do not have any XML file. 157 Journals (%62.3) have complied with the International Standard Serial Number in XML file. Only 41 journals (%16.3) had mentioned the name of the publisher in the XML file. Overall compliance of the journals with the structural items of PubMed Central journal selection criteria was 65.7 percent. Conclusion: Although, the Iranian medical journals compliance with most of the structural criteria of PubMed Central journal selection policy showed to be in a satisfactory condition, but the majority of journals are not published in English language, which is a serious obstacle in indexing in PubMed central. Therefore only a small number of journals has a chance to be indexed in this database.
