   Abstract Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of social media literacy training on cognitive warfare among students at Razi University. Method: This study is an applied research in terms of its objective. It employs a quasi-experimental design, specifically a pre-test/post-test control group design. The participants were selected using a convenience sampling method. A total of 32 students were chosen during the 2024-2025 academic year and were randomly assigned to either a control group (n=16) or an experimental group (n=16). For data analysis, both descriptive and inferential statistical tests were utilized. Findings: The findings indicate that social media literacy training has a significant positive effect on enhancing students' ability to counter cognitive warfare. However, a more detailed analysis revealed a more complex picture. The educational intervention did not have a significant impact on five (Navigation, Curation, Appraisal, Comprehension and Creation) of the six components of social media literacy. In contrast, the only component significantly affected by the training was the interaction dimension, suggesting a change in users' social behavior in the virtual space. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that social media literacy training positively and significantly enhanced students' ability to counter cognitive warfare. However, a more detailed analysis of the components revealed that this overall effect did not stem from an improvement in cognitive skills such as Navigation, Appraisal, or content comprehension, as the educational intervention had no significant impact on these dimensions. Conversely, the interaction component was the only one that showed significant improvement. This key finding suggests that the students' increased resistance to cognitive warfare is rooted not in the enhancement of critical content analysis abilities, but rather in a shift in their behavioral patterns and social interactions within the Social Media.

   Abstract: The purpose of the research: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate Persian academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies based on the desirable criteria for compiling such books. Research Methodology: The research was conducted using a library method and content analysis. The instrument for this research is a checklist for evaluating academic textbooks, which was adopted from a related study selected from a large number of conducted studies. This checklist includes formal, editorial, and content criteria, each containing several components, against which the research population was examined. The population under study in this research includes all available and accessible books published by SAMT Publications, comprising 53 academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science, which were examined and evaluated using the selected checklist. Research Findings: The analysis of academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies, published by SAMT, revealed that, overall, the three criteria—physical appearance, writing quality, and content—were observed to a certain extent in these works. However, a closer examination of the internal components of these criteria highlights specific aspects that require greater attention and revision. For instance, within the physical appearance criteria, the highest score was associated with the alignment of the book’s format with its content volume. This suggests that publishers have primarily focused on technical and standardization aspects of book production, likely due to their direct impact on printing and production processes. Conversely, components such as the alignment of cover design with the book’s subject received lower scores, indicating that aesthetic and visual considerations have yet to achieve a consistent and professional presence in these textbooks. Regarding writing quality, most textbooks demonstrated strong performance in adhering to linguistic rules and academic writing principles, which may reflect the authors’ familiarity with scholarly writing conventions or the contribution of professional editors. Nevertheless, in areas related to originality and creativity of style, the performance was weaker, with most texts presenting a uniform tone and structure, lacking significant effort toward developing a distinctive voice or innovative presentation of content. In terms of content quality, the highest score corresponded to the component assessing publisher evaluation and publication date relative to the subject area. This finding underscores SAMT’s diligence and expertise in ensuring alignment between textbook content and current educational needs. In contrast, components such as presenting new questions or introducing fresh perspectives received the lowest scores, reflecting a tendency of most textbooks to follow traditional educational frameworks, with limited emphasis on scientific innovation or fostering critical thinking in readers. Conclusion: The results of this study show that the academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science science published by SAMT are, overall, of desirable quality. Adherence to acceptable formal and editorial standards, along with a cohesive content structure, has made these books reliable resources in higher education. However, a closer examination of the components suggests that some elements still require serious attention and improvement, particularly in areas such as visual design, innovation in content presentation, and creating a more intellectually challenging environment for readers. These aspects not only make educational resources more engaging but also enhance the learning experience and increase student engagement with the content.

  Objective:The primary objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) literacy and job performance among librarians working in public libraries of Kurdistan Province. In this regard, different aspects of job performance—including task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behavior—were taken into consideration.Method:This research is applied in purpose and descriptive–correlational in nature. The statistical population consisted of 215 librarians employed in public libraries of Kurdistan Province in 2025. Based on Morgan’s table, 140 participants were selected through simple random sampling. Data collection instruments included Kennedy’s (2023) standardized AI Literacy Questionnaire and Koopmans et al.’s (2014) standardized Job Performance Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using regression analysis and one-sample  t-tests.Findings:The results indicated a significant positive relationship between AI literacy and librarians’ task performance (  ? 0.05). Moreover, a significant relationship was observed between AI literacy and counterproductive work behavior: certain dimensions of AI literacy, such as “data, information, and problem-solving literacy” and “job-related competencies,” predicted an increase in counterproductive behaviors, whereas the “problem-solving” dimension predicted their decrease. In contrast, no significant relationship was found between AI literacy and contextual performance. Results of the one-sample  t-test further revealed that both AI literacy and job performance levels among librarians were above average.Conclusion:Based on the findings, it can be concluded that enhancing AI literacy—particularly in areas such as data literacy, information literacy, and problem-solving skills—plays a vital role in improving librarians’ task performance while reducing counterproductive behaviors. This, in turn, can enhance the quality of public library services in the digital transformation era. Therefore, investing in AI-related specialized training programs for librarians is essential and will contribute to improving the quality of services in public libraries.Keywords:  AI literacy, problem-solving skills, data literacy, job performance, librarians of public libraries in Kurdistan Province
