Background & Objectives: Now days the Internet has become one of the most important source of information for searching health information. One group of the users who using it for searching health information are women. Materials & Methods: This research is a descriptive – analytical work. In this study, using Internet for searching health information among women has been investigated by using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The data of this study have collected from 200 employed women at the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance. LISREL software is used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that positive attitude of users towards the Internet leads to using Internet to get health information and management. On the other hand, attitude toward the Internet totally mediates the relationship between perception of the usefulness of the Internet and its use. Conclusion: Despite effectiveness of the perception of easy use of the Internet and perception of the usefulness of it to find health information, perception of the usefulness of the Internet in compare with the perception of the usefulness of the Internet have stronger relation by using the Internet to get information. So it can be concluded that on the Internet and digital literacy of women as well as e-health of them should be worked.

Background & Objectives: Libraries are the main levers of supporting educational programs in any university. A university without a good library cannot be successful in fulfilling its educational and research programs. The current condition of a library should be studies to find out whether it plays its part well as one of the main components of the university.
Materials & Methods: In the present research, the condition of the central library of the Medical University in Sabzevar was studied based on four quantitative indices of budget, human resources, collection, building and equipments. The library condition in 2011 was investigated and descriptive statistics (the mean, standard deviation, percentage and frequency) were used to obtain the required information.
Results: The findings showed that the library has complied 71.42 and 38.5 percent of the required standards of human resources and collection, respectively. On the other hand, the reported budget index was 3.2 times higher than the standard amount (320%). The standard index of building and equipments has been observed up to 51.48 percent.
Conclusion: In general, among the four quantitative standards (budget, human resources, collection, building and equipments), only the budget standard has been completely observed by the central library of the Medical University of Sabzevar and other aspects are far from the standards.

Background and Objective: Libraries are the main levers of supporting educational programs in any university. A university without a good library cannot be successful in fulfilling its educational and research programs. The current condition of a library should be studied to find out whether it plays its part well as one of the main components of the university.
Materials and Methods: In the present research, the condition of the central library of the Medical University in Sabzevar was studied based on four quantitative indices of budget, human resources, collection, building and equipments. The library condition in 2012 was investigated in this study and descriptive statistics (the mean, standard deviation, percentage and frequency) was used to obtain the required information.
Findings: The findings showed that the library has observed 71.42 and 38.5 percent of the required standards of human resources and the collection, respectively. On the other hand, the budget index has been reported to be 3.2 times higher than the standard amount (320%). The standard index of building and equipments has been observed up to 51.48 percent.
Conclusion: In general from among the four quantitative standards (budget, human resources, collection, building and equipments), only the budget standard has been completely observed by the central library of the Medical University of Sabzevar and other aspects are far from the standards.
