The library's website disseminates information about its facilities, services and other information related to that particular library and its activities. This study attempts to analyse the content which is reflected in the websites of five Small State Public Libraries of India. Further, it tries to assess and explore the basic information of the public libraries such as facilities provided, services offered, and other information available on the library websites of five State Central (Public) Libraries of India between 1st to 14th July 2023, by using a checklist.
