Abstract
The Library and Information Centres are expected to reveal the world to serve the users
with information regarding their services and special collections using the World Wide Web
and as such the Library managers acting as Content Managers in the Internet world have to
design the library web page to facilitate and supplement access to current information
resources and services. An attempt has been made in this paper to analyze the library web
portals of academic institutions in Karnataka in order to enhance the effective use of library
web sites to become more user friendly for information access. Academic Library web sites
in Karnataka are analyzed and the results show that, majority of library portals are very
concise and lack the current awareness services and updation policy. Also highlights the
review of literature and addresses the considerations that must be made when serving
library information over the World Wide Web.
