Resources

This department deals with the process of selecting, ordering, preparing, registering, exchanging and donating resources to the Central Library. The resources including books and periodicals are provided through the law of purchase, donation, and exchange. In this regard, according to the policies of the Central Library and the needs assessment of library visitors, the books of the humanities and social sciences are to be prioritized. A portion of the Latin books and publications required by the library are provided through book exhibitions, especially the Tehran International Book Fair (www.tibf.co.ir). The selection and purchase of books and publications in this section are supervised by two committees of Selecting Resources and Publications.

According to the law on the publication of books, approved by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution in 1989, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance (ershad.gov.ir), all books published in more than 2000 copies in Iran, have a copy to the Central Library and Documentation Center. In addition, the Central Library became a member of the Ministry of Islamic Guidance's publications on September 1, 1978; accordingly, the directors responsible for publications throughout the country were obliged to send a copy of their publications to the Central Library and Documentation Center of the University of Tehran.
