Information was analyzed using Spss software.Findings: The results of focal correlation showed that there is a valid and significant linear relationship between social capital and information literacy provided by them. The dimensions of social capital have a direct relationship with the components of information literacy. Also, the cognitive component of social capital and the identification of information needs in comparison with other focal variables played the most role in creating the first focal correlation coefficient. The results of the focal analysis with 99 percent confirm the probability of correlation between the two sets of variables.Results: The dimensions of social capital have a direct relationship with the components of information literacy.

Then, using the Influence Scale Questionnaire, each obstacle was inspected. Data analysis was performed using SPSS and after analyzing the opinions of Arak University academics as well as administrators of executive agencies, the following results were obtained: administrators consider the lack of confidence on the part of industries and directors in research findings (mean=3,8889), the unpopularity of using studies among administrators (mean=3,8889) and academics, and the dominance of office rules over scientific criteria (mean=4.2206) as the biggest obstacles in the correct flow of information. Generally, there was no significant difference between academics and administrators' opinions regarding the obstacles on the way of information flow and at the significant level of .05, no difference is remarkable.

Data was gathered based on researcher constructed list and data analysis was performed through E-questionnaire. Findings: The findings of this study revealed that more than two thirds of Iranian users had no familiarity with Iranian search engines. Iranian users’ familiarity internationally known search engines was based on a different spectrum that means Iranian users utilize international search engines more than that of domestic ones.
