English abstract

Libraries are slowly shifting their role from being custodians of collection-based traditional information resources to being providers of access-based digital information resources. National library being the apex body of a country’s library system really holds a vital part in the whole gamut of knowledge sharing. Library websites play an important role for this purpose. The basic purpose of this study is to analyze the contents of national library websites of Asian countries (45). An evaluation method was carried out for this study to know the how far the websites of national libraries of Asian countries had satisfied the selected parameters as instructed in the respective guidelines. According to findings, 9% of selected national library websites regardless of their characteristics had fallen in the grade of “A++”, 44% had fallen in “A” and remaining 47% had been considered in the grade of “B”.
