Abstract

The paper examines the accessibility, accuracy, currency and user-friendliness in ten selected library websites of the colleges affiliated to the University of Delhi. It further, discusses services and facilities being offered by the websites. The data were collected through a well-structured checklist from the selected colleges under study. The study reveals that maximum number of college libraries have mentioned information related to introduction 9(90 %), library staff 8(80 %), library hours 6(60 %) and membership 6(60 %) on their websites. However, study also report that none of the library websites/web-pages have features of social networking tools, feedbacks, regular updates and they also lack in providing question papers, news-clippings, user manual and single window search. The study findings reveals that Deshbandhu College library scored thirty eight (38) out of43 which is highest (ranked 1st) whereas Ramjas College scored only five (05) out of 43 and stands last. The study suggests, for carrying out such evaluative studies which is the need of hour to enable the institutions to update their websites periodically and come up with flying colours on user’s expectations

德里大学部分学院图书馆网站内容分析

本文考察了德里大学附属学院的十个图书馆网站的可访问性、准确性、货币性和用户友好性。它进一步讨论了网站提供的服务和设施。这些数据是通过一份结构良好的清单从所选的研究学院中收集的。研究显示，最多的大学图书馆在其网站上提到了与介绍9（90%）、图书馆工作人员8（80%）、图书馆时间6（60%）和会员6（6%）有关的信息。然而，研究还报告称，没有一个图书馆网站/网页具有社交网络工具、反馈、定期更新的功能，并且在提供问题论文、新闻剪报、用户手册和单窗口搜索方面也有所欠缺。研究结果显示，Deshbandhu学院图书馆在43分中得了三十八分（38分），是最高的（排名第一），而Ramjas学院在43分之一中只得了五分（05分），排名最后。这项研究表明，为了进行这样的评估研究，这需要一个小时的时间，使各机构能够定期更新其网站，并根据用户的期望做出优异的成绩
