About me

 

I was interested in reading since I was a child. I started my deep readings with the Russian literature, special Leo Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. As a member of libraries in districts, mosques and schools and an active & effective person in starting school libraries, I developed deep-seated habits in studying. The effects of books on my life in a period when books & libraries had no such status & importance for my peers dramatically changed me. With national literature, poetry had the strongest impact on forming my mentality and works of poets such as Ahmad Shamlou (1925-2000), Foroogh Farkhzad (1934-1966), Raza Barahani (1935) and critics like Yadollah Royaee, as well as international figures like G. G. Lorca had a great impact on me. My contact with philosophy started with F.W Nietzsche (1844-1900), the German philosopher & critic and specially his ideas of Ubermensch, Ekel, the will to power & Arête resulted in great thought changes in me, leading to the development of my life perspectives. I also studied about S. Freud(1856-1939) and his special look at the driving force of human nature and his ideas of psychoanalysis, Ego, Super Ego, ID, consciousness, unconsciousness, projection, complex & dreams. Carl Gustav Jung works (1875-1961), on the other hand, was the other area of interests to me. I was also fascinated by Chomsky’s (1928) ideas, but undoubtedly the effects of Nietzsche in philosophy, Freud in psychology & Shamlou in poetry & literature on me was unique.

      Even though a time of tension & pressure during Iran-Iraq war & post-war reconstruction when I was respectively studying at high school & university, I followed my heart-felt interest in books & majored in librarianship. What heightened my interest in this major was my better academic understanding & familiarity of it, and this motivated me to follow it up to the Ph. D level. I might be worth mentioning that in 1999 I was accepted as a candidate to purse my Ph. D studies abroad, but because of financial problems in the ministry of higher education the program was abandoned. In information science, terms such as global village, free access to information, information dissemination & SDI greatly influenced my studies and formed my professional tendencies.

      I have found the viewpoints of the following people highly interesting: S. R. Ranganatan (1892-1972) in reference services, F. W. Lancaster (1933) in information storage & retrieval, P. Atherton(1929) in information Services, Herman M. Weisman in information systems, Dayani (1940) in library & information research, an A. Horri(1936) in the areas of management, systems, philosophical issues, and information technology. My greatest attribution in this post-moving world of information is to play a role, no matter how small it might be.
