Abstract

One of the current priorities of libraries and information centers of research organizations is the digitization of scientific resources. There are many valuable indigenous scientific resources in these organizations that are not currently usable in existing network environments. These resources need to be digitized and properly organized so that they can be exploited in the web and remote networks.

The Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization, as one of the largest research organizations in the field of agriculture and natural resources, seeks to collect and organize information in such a way that in the shortest possible time, researchers, faculty members and producers and farmers in the agricultural sector Use it to perform their activities optimally. Likewise, digitization of scientific resources, especially indigenous scientific resources, is one of the important priorities of this organization. In this article, we have tried to point out the necessity of developing a digital library in this organization and then provide the necessary requirements and general recommendations in this field.
