In Iran Gavgani, Shokraneh & Shiramin (2011) concluded that librarians do not have traditional skills and sufficient
background knowledge to meet the changing needs of their customers. They need to be empowered by new skills
and information before going to empower their patrons. So there must not be a gap between librarian’s
professional/technological knowledge and their societies informational need that to be answered by librarians. Need
for changing the syllabus of medical library and information science education in Iran was also felt.
