Abstract
Purpose: This study introduces the methods and indicators proposed for evaluating digital libraries. Design/Methodology/Approach: Study and analysis of published text. Findings: Various approaches have been proposed for the evaluation of digital libraries. Indicators and criteria such as usability, accessibility, maintainability, validity, accuracy, proportionality, searchability, and usefulness have been common in the literature. Human-computer interactions, the function of information retrieval system, and digital technologies have been adapted from the criteria for evaluating traditional libraries. Findings/Conclusion: Digital libraries are technically, organizationally, and socially complex systems and no model can simply take into consideration all of these aspects. Therefore, based on various aims, different models and methods are used.
