English abstract

This study explored the Web Presence and Visibility of National Library Websites of SAARC Countries. Based on WISER ranking method, National library websites of SAARC countries were ranked. National Library of India secured top position in terms of Web presence. National Library of Bangladesh outscored other libraries in Webometric ranking and occupied the top position. The websites of all National libraries considered for the study lack rich files and scholarly content. Afghanistan was excluded from the study since its National library website could not be ascertained. The study recommends that Web masters should publish more content in the form of rich files and make available more scholarly content so as to improve the Web presence and visibility.
