Purpose: This study aimed to survey head and staff librarians’ viewpoints on teleworking in library in the academic libraries of the universities located in Kerman city, Iran in 2013. Design/methodology/approach: In this exploratory survey, seventy head and staff librarians were selected from the academic libraries of four main universities in the city. They completed a validated and reliable researcher-made questionnaire on telewrking in health libraries. Data was analyzed in SPSS 19. Findings: The subjects’ attitude to teleworking in library was positive in spite of their relatively low familiarity with teleworking and their precieved low ability to do teleworking. They enumerated some advantages, disadvantages, problems, challenges and developing ways for teleworking, especially in the case of Iran health academic libraries. Originality/value: The newly emerged teleworking practice is increasingly developing worldwide. Iran health academic libraries should focus it for providing better library services, managing ever-increasing library costs and satisfying ever-changing user demands.
