Abstract:
Purpose: Determining strong and weak points of Iranian digital library websites based on the components of the green web. Methodology: All 59 active digital library websites in Iran were surveyed using a checklist consisting of three phases. Validity of the checklist was confirmed by web design and information science experts. Its reliability was confirmed based on Cronbach's alpha test (0.861) . Website evaluation was performed using 5 online tools. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics (binomial and chi-square tests) . Findings: There was a statically significant difference among websites in regard to the Create (P = 0.005) and User (P = 0.030) phases. In the Analysis phase, planning checking the sub-index was not possible. Overall, we found significant difference (p = 0.001) among websites in the three main phases of green web, so that 44.1% were at good level and 39.1% were at moderate levels. Conclusion: The state of green web indexes in Iranian digital library websites is good. However, the processes of Planning in the Analysis phase and Graphical user interface in the User phase require further attention by webmasters and designers.
