This study focuses on the library websites of government-aided engineering colleges in Karnataka, comprising nine colleges. The evaluation assesses content features such as basic information, library services, sections, and e-resources. Data collection is conducted using a pre-designed checklist containing 49 fields based on prior research. The study ranks the library websites based on the points they accumulate during the data interpretation process.
