This
section was established in 1993 when the Medline database was provided in the
form of a single user and under the DOS operating system. Gradually and with
technological advancement, the system was upgraded to a multi-user network system
with a Windows operating system. In addition, the Internet of the university is
supplied through this system. At first, internet service was in the form of
dialup and was provided through the physics-theory research center. After a
while, the internet was provided in the form of asymmetric
communication via satellites and telephone lines. With the advancement of
telecommunication technology, Internet service was provided through
telecommunications, and the leased line was first used. Today, the expansion of
internet services has led to the use of optical fibers in this field.
