Websites of libraries of SB RAS scientific institutions: lines of optimization
The purpose of the article is to present recommendations for optimizing websites / pages of libraries of scientific institutions of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS). Recommendations have been formulated based on the results of the content analysis of websites of SB RAS scientific institutions' libraries, carried out in 2021. The tool of the analysis was the content assessment checklist developed specifically for this study, based on the literature review and the author's own experience. The checklist contains 50 questions divided into five sections: site information, web page design and functions, content and web services.Websites / pages of 44 libraries of scientific-research institutions of Barnaul, Biysk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Ulan-Ude, Yakutsk were studied; also an online survey was conducted of the staff of SB RAS scientific-research institutions' libraries, concerning management and maintenance of websites / pages.As a result of the analysis, it has been revealed that not all scientific institutions have links to their libraries on the main pages, libraries are presented mainly in the form of the webpage of the institute's website, are not very well structured and organized. As a rule library sites do not use adaptive design, navigation tools are not everywhere available, users do not receive comprehensive information about information resources and library services, and virtual services are not developed.Evaluation of the web content has made it possible to identify trends and problems in the state of scientific institutions libraries' web sites.
