Abstract

An evaluation of Key Library Websites on their special features is necessary to ascertain the reasons for its popularity on the one hand as well as its scent use or total disuse on the other. In the current technological age evaluating the e-services quality being offered to users is an essential institutional library feature that should be available to all academic and higher learning organizations. Methodology used was to study the quality of the website on the basis of web indicators which were 105 in total and had been segregated into five blocks. There blocks are namely the Resource block, the Service block, the Links blocks the Information block and the Design and Graphics block. Out of 105 Web Indicators, 70 (67 percent) are present and 35 (33 percent) are missing from JNULW. Web Impact Factor, Revised Web Impact Factor and Overall Web Impact Factor of JNU library website have been calculated with the help of web search engine i.e. Google using the Boolean Operators “OR”, “NOT”, “AND”. All three Web Impact Factors have been calculated on 24th January, 2018. 100 pages of JNULW have been tested on 24th January, 2018 through Sitebeam Web Analyzer Test Scores. The performance of the JNULW on these indicators would give its positioning domestically and internationally.
