- W249141545 abstract "Web page development is, an important aspect of library practice, and evaluative studies can confirm further development and upgrades in the performance of Web pages. To date, there have been no published reports about Web pages of library catalog departments. So, the present study was undertaken to develop a model for the evaluation of catalog department Web pages. The present study examined the catalog department Web pages of institutions within the consortium of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC). A performance index wits devised to assess the or of these Web pages betted on four parameters: accessibility, design and structure, internal documentation, and external resources. The performance index for the Web pages studied revealed significant differences among them and illustrated the potential of this model for further studies of this nature. Today organizations and institutions of all kinds use Web sites to serve their clients and carry out their internal functions. Libraries are no exception to these trends; they use their Web sites for both their patrons and their staff. Besides libraries as a whole, individual departments within each library have started relying on their Web sites to provide users and staff with a variety of information and access to their digital library services. Technical services or catalog departments also have developed their own Web sites. However, to date, studies reporting on technical services and catalog department Web pages have been uncommon. Chressanthis and Wesley surveyed 158 technical services Web sites and observed that some institutions use their web page like a business card ... include[ing] content-rich resources to assist staff in performing their jobs and promote departmental efficiency. (1) Harizan and Khoon described the steps that were undertaken to create the cataloging home page at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. (2) These authors attempted to answer such questions as [w]hy catalogers should create homepages, how can the pages be used to enhance their job and what are the benefits of having a home page. (3) With the growing size of department Web sites, designing, organizing, updating, and maintaining user-friendly Web sites is a challenge. Because the assessment of existing Web pages can inform future developments, the present study was undertaken to compare the catalog department Web pages of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) member libraries in terms of their accessibility, design, structure, maintenance, and type of information provided. The study aimed to develop an evaluative model that could be used for a future larger study. The following text describes the present study in detail. Background This is a comparative study of the catalog department Web sites at CIC Established in 1958, CIC is an academic consortium of thirteen major teaching and research universities in the Midwest. Among CIC'S strategic goals is to maximize the benefits of existing infrastructure such as information technologies and libraries. (4) Included in the eighteen programs listed on the Web site is the Center for Library Initiatives (CLI). The CLI, established in 1994, functions as a cohesive consortial organization, guided by a vision of the information resources and services of the CIC as a seamless whole. (5) The CLI strives to help the thirteen research libraries at CIC member universities to advance their missions. The authors of this study selected CIC member libraries for the study group because these consortial members constitute a preselected peer group and share a common vision by virtue of membership in the CIC. Appendix A lists the CIC member libraries and the URLs of the sites studied. To date, Web site evaluation studies have highlighted the importance of the usability or workability of the Web page, yet the volatile nature of the Web itself makes having firm standards for difficult. …" @default.
