History
The institute was established in 1968 as the governmental organization known as Iranian Documentation Centre to "bring modern information to scientists and professors". In March 1969 IRANDOC became part of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education's new Institute for Research and Planning in Science and Education, along with Center for Scientific Policy, Center for Educational Planning and the Center for Library Services. In 1970 it had a staff of 60 personnel, with 30 being college graduates, and seven had doctorates. When the Institute was disestablished in 1983, IRANDOC continued under the supervision of the Deputy Minister Office for Research.
A revised charter was approved by the Council for Development of Higher Education in 1991, changing its status to a research center and its name changed to its present form.
IRANDOC is a national member of International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) and Association for Information Management (ASLIB).
