Today, the websites of college and university libraries play an important role in providing the necessary services for clients. These websites not only allow the users to access different collections of library resources, but also provide them with the necessary guidance in order to use the information. The goal of this study is the quality evaluation of the college library websites in Iranian Medical Universities based on the Stover model.
This study uses an analytical survey method and is an applied study. The data gathering tool is the standard checklist provided by Stover, which was modified by the researchers for this study. The statistical population is the college library websites of the Iranian Medical Universities (146 websites) and census method was used for investigation. The data gathering method was a direct access to each website and filling of the checklist was based on the researchers' observations. Descriptive and analytical statistics (Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)) were used for data analysis with the help of the SPSS software.
The findings showed that in the dimension of the quality of contents, the highest average belonged to type one universities (46.2%) and the lowest average belonged to type three universities (24.8%). In the search and research capabilities, the highest average belonged to type one universities (48.2%) and the lowest average belonged to type three universities. In the dimension of facilities provided for the users, type one universities again had the highest average (37.2%), while type three universities had the lowest average (15%). In general the library websites of type one universities had the highest quality (44.2%), while type three universities had the lowest quality (21.1%). Also the library websites of the College of Rehabilitation and the College of Paramedics, of the Shiraz University of Medical Science, had the highest quality scores.
The results showed that there was a meaningful difference between the quality of the college library websites and the university types, resulting in college libraries of type one universities having the highest average score and the college libraries of type three universities having the lowest score.
如今，高校图书馆网站在为用户提供必要服务方面发挥着重要作用。这些网站不仅允许用户访问图书馆资源的不同馆藏，还为他们提供使用信息所需的指导。本研究的目的是基于斯托弗模型对伊朗医科大学的高校图书馆网站进行质量评估。
本研究采用分析性调查方法，属于应用研究。数据收集工具是斯托弗提供的标准清单，研究人员对此进行了修改以用于本研究。统计总体是伊朗医科大学的高校图书馆网站（146个网站），采用普查方法进行调查。数据收集方法是直接访问每个网站，并根据研究人员的观察填写清单。借助SPSS软件，使用描述性和分析性统计（方差分析）进行数据分析。
结果表明，在内容质量维度上，一类大学的平均得分最高（46.2%），三类大学的平均得分最低（24.8%）。在搜索和研究能力方面，一类大学的平均得分最高（48.2%），三类大学的平均得分最低。在为用户提供的设施维度上，一类大学的平均得分再次最高（37.2%），而三类大学的平均得分最低（15%）。总体而言，一类大学的图书馆网站质量最高（44.2%），而三类大学的质量最低（21.1%）。此外，设拉子医科大学康复学院和护理学院的图书馆网站质量得分最高。
结果表明，高校图书馆网站的质量与大学类型之间存在显著差异，导致一类大学的高校图书馆平均得分最高，三类大学的高校图书馆得分最低。
