Summary: | This study evaluates the content and design of academic library Web sites in
Malaysia and uses a mixed-method approach that combines both quantitative
and qualitative analyses of academic library Web sites evaluation. A total of
twelve library Web sites of public and private institutions of higher learning
were selected for evaluation. Thefindings reveal that the academic libraries
in Malaysia generally have set up well-designed and useful Web sites. A few
academic library Web sites, however, have very simple and basic features.
Overall, they fall short of expectations as virtual expressions of the quality
levels of academic libraries.
