Student, Farabi Campus University of Tehran, Iran Journal Article 2017 12 09 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between the components of social capital, that is, variables X including cognitive, relational and structural components, and employees' information literacy components, namely, variable Y including identifying information needs, locating information, evaluating information and use Effective information has been used to determine the variation between two sets of variables in order to determine the appropriate pattern of relationships between the set of information literacy focal variables and to use the focal correlation coefficient to provide a prediction method for information literacy change. Method: Using a survey method and a questionnaire tool, a sample of 340 people was selected by simple random sampling among the national staff of Shiraz. 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.

In the present study, after a detailed review of literature and interviews with academics and experts, the obstacles on the way of information flow in the production source (universities), the recipients of information (the society and industries) and the communication channels were examined. 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.

Research Methodology: The study is an applied and descriptive survey conducted with quantitative approach using neural networks. Data were collected by a questionnaire included with the information seeking behavior of seminary students in Khorasan-e- Razavi province distributed between the samples. After collecting data, the neural network was selected for clustering the data and using Matlab 14 software, seminary students were clustered individually and as a whole on the basis of the main components of the. Then, after removing each sub-component of the main components of the research, the most effective and the least effective option on information seeking behavior of seminary students were determined. Findings: Considering clustering using self-organizing neural networks, the most effective component in motivation was determined as conducting research, cultural and religious activities. The least effective component were determined as academic reputation and compete with peers. The most important component of information seeking skill was awareness of their information needs, but the least component was not observed. The most effective way to access information in the seminary schools was print resources and the least effective way was determined as buying needed resources. Conclusion: According to the aim and findings of this study, it is possible to assess the information behavior of seminary students, using neural networks method and clustering sampling.
