خلاصة:
This study attempted to investigate the process and barriers of flow of technical
information in KWPA[1]. A survey method was used to collect the data. Interviews
with some key persons were also conducted. The target population included both
experts and technical managers, and the information output of technical
departments. Descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were
applied to analyze the data. Results showed that overall production and use of
technical information are relatively satisfactory, and the respondents generally used
the technical. Lack of a holistic view of information management and systematic
access to information were major drawbacks. The authors suggest applying a holistic
view for information management to systematize the production and use of
information and reduce the costs.

Therefore, the researchers attempted to investigate the information environment of the organization in terms of production and use of technical information, as the vital element for these activities.
Then, the researchers made an attempt to identify the probable barriers which users (experts and technical managers working for KWPA) encounter when looking for scientific information they need.
To investigate quantitative, subject, and bibliographic information of technical information (documents) produced in KWPA during 2001-2005.
2. To identify the barriers that KWPA experts and technical managers encounter in accessing and using technical information (documents) produced in KWPA.
4. What barriers are there on the way of KWPA experts and technical managers in accessing/using the technical information produced in KWAP?
6. Is there any significant relationship between the barriers and production/use of technical information in KWPA?
07 Total, 20963, 100 Bibliographical elements present in documents in terms of frequency were respectively as follows: place of production (department), author (creator), date of production, title, table of contents, references, and abstract.
599a) of the respondents (experts and technical managers) use computers to access the Internet or the documents they need.
This finding is in line with the findings of the researchers who believe that, often, 80 to 95 percent of information use in an organizational setting is obtained from the information produced in the organization itself (Ferguson, Sarrafzadeh and Hazeri, 2007).
It was also found that there was a negative correlation between the barriers in accessing information and production of technical information in the organization, although the relationship was not significant at ct=0.
