Exploring New Zealand public libraries activities with a website evaluation checklist
No full textResearch problem: The purpose of this study was to develop an updated website evaluation checklist that evaluates the presence of resources, programmes, and services offered by public libraries and contains elements relevant to the New Zealand bicultural context.
Methodology: Checklist elements were initially based on previous literature. A pilot study identified additional elements and outdated elements for removal or modification. Elements were re-examined to fit the scope of evaluating library activities, usage of te reo Māori, and presence of Māori-related content. Purposive sampling was done to select 21 New Zealand public library websites that provided representation of five to six per urban area classification.
Results: Public library websites in higher population areas generally met the most elements. Resources for learning te reo Māori and presence of Māori-related content were generally met in nearly threequarters of the surveyed websites. Social media was identified to be an important supplementary source to communicate news and activities. Highly met elements such as digital skills training, learning communities, and Library of Things demonstrate how libraries respond to user needs.
Implications: Findings highlight opportunities to increase usage of te reo Māori and allocate resources to identified essential and desirable elements. This study also illustrates how checklist elements provide a measurable indication of library value within a framework that can be easily communicated to stakeholders
