Collected data have been presented and analyzed using descriptive statistics method.

Results: In terms of type, it showed that 67% of Iranian web log are filtrated and 14% are scientific, Communicating services in terms of the librarianship and its news %18,coordination and similarity and communication between librarian and services performance %9 and publishing scientific information, papers and translations 9% are the main goal of the Iranian web logs.
