The mechanism of this process in details was revived. Finally, the theoretical part was concluded with prospective vision to apply decision supporting systems in libraries and information systems.

A field study of libraries research centers in was conducted where the intentional sampling method was applied to libraries research centers in that use the automated systems in their libraries. The specifically interview method was conducted, which is the suitable tool to the subject study, to collect the data, Considering not applying the automated systems in libraries research centers was the most important results and the possibility of importing and exporting of these automated systems
