Iranian Institute Accepted as Member of Int’l Society for Knowledge Organization
The Iranian branch of the ISKO was launched in 2011 by the great professor of information sciences, Rahmatollah Fattahi, and continued its activities until the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, and then it was inactive for a while, until this year when it resumed its activities with the support of the IranDoc.
The condition for the official activity of the Iranian branch was the re-membership of Iranian members in ISKO, of which 11 members have registered and been accepted as members so far, and with IranDoc's official membership in ISKO as an organizational member, the Iranian branch officially changed from inactive to active on the ISKO website.
