"World Wide Web or popularly called as the Web is a revolutionary invention and amazes us with its growth and applications. The traffic over Web has increased many folds in the last few years due to communication among people through various kinds of websites as channels. Using metrics, estimations can be made for the number of people connected with Internet and the content they are sharing and are interested in. Online tools like search engines and traffic and usage analyzers are used for measuring the growth of the Web and falls under the purview of Webometrics. The established measures for Webometrics are, Link Analysis (including Web Impact Factor analysis), URL Analysis, Web Citation Analysis and Web Content Analysis. Webometrics analyses hyperlinks, hyperlink types, hyperlink structure, and usage of the Web. Web Impact Factor (WIF) is an important parameter in Webometric studies. The present book presents application of WIF towards measuring quality of library websites. The book is presented with detailed examples of Indian Institutes and the WIF of their library websites. It presents ranking of websites and method of conducting comparative studies of the websites. Websites for libraries are a good medium through which knowledge can be disseminated. The content of Library websites depend on the library collection, services, facilities etc. Content awareness of library websites indicate qualitative and quantitative aspects of information provided by the libraries to the users and it can be a method for measuring usefulness of library websites.

Webometrics is concerned with measuring aspects of the web: web sites, web pages, parts of web pages, words in web pages, hyperlinks, web search engine results. The importance of the web itself as a communication medium and for hosting an increasingly wide array of documents, from journal articles to holiday brochures, needs no introduction. Given this huge and easily accessible source of information, there are limitless possibilities for measuring or counting on a huge scale (e.g., the number of web sites, the number of web pages, the number of blogs) or on a smaller scale (e.g., the number of web sites in Ireland, the number of web pages in the CNN web site, the number of blogs mentioning Barack Obama before the 2008 presidential campaign). This book argues that it can be useful for social scientists to measure aspects of the web and explains how this can be achieved on both a small and large scale. The book is intended for social scientists with research topics that are wholly or partly online (e.g., social networks, news, political communication) and social scientists with offline research topics with an online reflection, even if this is not a core component (e.g., diaspora communities, consumer culture, linguistic change). The book is also intended for library and information science students in the belief that the knowledge and techniques described will be useful for them to guide and aid other social scientists in their research. In addition, the techniques and issues are all directly relevant to library and information science research problems.

The IML Websites are mirror of their collection, services and user-focused gateways to rich, quality content and they play a key role in the learning and research processes. The dynamic library websites and web-based library services will enable the users to be attracting the libraries. Hence, the study undertaken to reflect the need for well organized, dynamically maintained library websites for the study libraries. The most important single aspect of any website is its usability. The website of academic library should reflect users' needs and expectations. The library website content, structure, and design need to reflect with changes in user behaviour, technology, and information resources. Based on the findings, IML Websites in India have not come up to expectations as virtual expressions of the quality level of the academic excellence. There is a lack of information organization in most of the study websites. Hence, it is essential for these libraries to implement internal as well as external and manual and automated periodic evaluation of their websites.

Academic libraries need to evaluate their electronic services in order to ensure their users' satisfaction. Libraries have been using evidence based evaluation traditionally. These practices have their limitations as they are time consuming and rely on outdated literature. Human Information Behavior studies offer a rich literature of users' behavior that could provide evidence of usage; nevertheless HIB studies are centered on smaller sample and hence lack generalization. Web analytics can address the gap in library service evaluation and HIB studies by providing quick access to aggregate information on real users' data collected unobtrusively. This study was conducted in an academic library setting. Two topics on the use of analytics for library decision-making and generalizing in HIB studies were addressed. The Library's web usability group was interviewed and their Google Analytics data were reviewed. Qualitative analyses were conducted on data obtained from the interview and Google analytics. There were concrete findings on the use of web analytics for Library decision-making that indicated its utility for enhancing the Library's online services and for improving navigation. However, there were noteworthy factors that could affect decision-making indirectly - the respondents' curiosity of users' behavior, the Library management practices, could influence decision-making in the Library along the way. Visitor trending data in Google Analytics further provided important aspects of the online users' behavior. Graphs indicated irregular patterns in users' behavior over a period of a semester. Further instances illustrated the differences in users behavior were based on their choice of sources. Visitors' technology preferences indicated factors that could influence users' information seeking. Finally, analytics can provide information on the Library's primary resources used.
