| Abstract: | An
attempt has been made to evaluate the library websites of selected research
institutions in India
both quantitatively
and
qualitatively on the basis of Web Impact Factor, pre-defined check list of
indicators, and online questionnaire survey.
Studies
the existing procedures and practices of evaluation indicators of websites at
national and international levels as
reported
in the literature. Reveals that there are many inconsistencies and
terminological issues and many effective
methodologies/techniques
for websites evaluation which are practiced at international level but are not
being used in such
studies
in India.
Two major quality components viz. ‘usability’ and ‘usefulness’ covering the
various evaluation indicators at
‘indicative’
and ‘illustrative’ level have been examined. Concludes that there is scope of
further research for developing and
standardizing
the indicators with multiple evaluation perspectives at various levels.
Suggests the active and crucial role of
library and information scientists in the
evaluation process from design to content management in future. |
