Abstract | One major area of library and information science research is the evaluation of digital library. The term „digital library” (DL) covers different applications and has been used interchangeably for digitized collections, e-journal platforms, network databases, library websites. As noted by Vullo (2010), evaluating digital libraries is a challenging activity, as digital libraries are complex, dynamic and synchronic entities which need flexible approaches. Several assessment methodologies have been built and the interdisciplinary research is growing, while a broadly accepted model is still lacking. |
