The purpose of this study was to examine the models and methods for evaluating digital libraries.
Springer, Science Direct, ProQuest, Emerald, Wiley, LISTA, Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, Magiran (Persian), Irandoc (Persian), SID (Persian) and Noormags (Persian) databases were searched systematically based on the defined criteria. Selection criteria included full-text articles and dissertations published in English and Persian languages in 2004-2017. The final included articles (n = 64) were reviewed, selected and analysed by group discussions.
The results of analysing 64 included articles for this systematised review specified that the evaluation of digital libraries is mostly focused on the service quality aspect, and DigiQual was the most frequently used model. Few studies have evaluated digital libraries in the health sector. The researcher developed questionnaire is the most frequently used method to evaluate digital libraries.
Because there are fewer studies of digital libraries evaluation in the health sector, the specific features of health digital libraries should be addressed by librarians and health digital library designers to develop specific models.
本研究旨在考察数字图书馆评估的模型和方法。
基于既定标准，系统检索了 Springer、Science Direct、ProQuest、Emerald、Wiley、LISTA、Web of Science（WOS）、Scopus、Magiran（波斯语）、Irandoc（波斯语）、SID（波斯语）和 Noormags（波斯语）数据库。纳入标准为 2004-2017 年以英文和波斯文全文发表的文章和学位论文。对最终纳入的 64 篇文章进行了综述、选择和小组讨论分析。
对 64 篇系统综述文章进行分析的结果表明，数字图书馆的评估主要集中在服务质量方面，DigiQual 是最常用的模型。很少有研究评估卫生部门的数字图书馆。研究人员开发的问卷是评估数字图书馆最常用的方法。
由于卫生部门数字图书馆评估的研究较少，因此图书馆员和卫生数字图书馆设计人员应针对卫生数字图书馆的具体特点制定具体模型。
