National decision and Information System and Services (ISS)

ISS which may be interpreted as transparency in information delivery is of high importance in personal life as well as in ruling system. It may be stated that these two are two sides of the same coin. If there is a real intention to govern people in a real democracy, then ISS is well-defined and developed in the country, and if ISS is well-defined, then it can be concluded that real resoluteness in ruling system is already present.  Nowadays, all three ruling powers in Iran have decided to be transparent in their ISS. It should be noted that a real and powerful ISS development has two components: employees and public users. Employees must be aware and skillful in information collection, retrieval, and dissemination, and public users should be trained to use the information tools in order to get the accurate information in right time and place as soon as possible. If this takes place, the teachers and graduate students in library and information science can help them, as practitioners or consultants in information projects in at least four parts are as follows: Information management, archive management, scientometrics, and data mining. Majles Library (Library of Iranian Parliament) as well as the National Library of Iran can be a useful aid for decision makers and public libraries can teach people and develop their skills in using the information.
