Purpose: The present study was conducted to identify the users' emotion induction in information retrieval.Methodology: The methodology of the present study is Survey research, and the type of study is practical. The society comprised all MA students majoring in different humanistic science branches and studying at Imam Reza international university. The sample society of this research included 42 students that investigated in two groups. Data collection was carried out by using different instruments, such as, demographic and prior experience of using internet questionnaire, post search questionnaire, success/ failure in information retrieval questionnaire, recorded files, positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS), the Geneva affective picture database (GAPED), Keyboard-Tracer and River Past Screen Recorder software.Findings: The findings of the study demonstrated that in simple search task, the difference in the positive and negative emotion induction groups' performance was not significant, while in complicated search it was significant. In both simple and complicated search the difference was not significant. It was revealed that in complicated search task there was no significant difference between the types of users' emotions.Results: The information retrieval systems can have a best function if manages user interactions and system interactions and have positive effectives.

Purpose: The Purpose of this study is to recognize librarian’s participation in software development from software producer's companies' point of view.Method/Approach: This is an applied research and has done by descriptive method. The study population included 6 software producer companies. For data collection we used from researcher-made checklist based on literature review that will confirm its validity by experts.Results: The findings of the study showed that librarians with skills of the web and internet (32.33) and hardware (6.83) accepted highest and lowest cooperation in software development. Also, librarians in acquisition department (recording section) with 4.33 and Donation Section with 2.33 average have highest and lowest range. On the other hand, the result showed that librarians in the steps of definition and design of software development with 4.83 and 1.5 average sequentially have high and low cooperation. Also in development of software solution organization-preparation and security specialists with 4.33 and 2.5 have effective role.Originality/value: From point of software developer, librarians can be more effective in software development, so it's needed more interaction.
