The libraries’ web-outposts open up new opportunities, enable libraries to interact efficiently with their users and to promote their information products in the virtual space. The systematic assessment is integral to high performance of libraries’ web-divisions. The author explores the intensity of applying evaluation methods to the libraries’ web-sites. She examines the current state and popular trends in libraries’ representation in the virtual space using the relevant methods of web-analytics. The findings of the 2019 survey “Modern trends in the development of library resources in the web space”, comprising 387 Russian and foreign libraries of various organizational and legal status, are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the presence of libraries in the web space and resource management using web-analytic instruments. Based on her research findings, the author concludes that the major accomplishment for the libraries today is the very fact of their presence in the web space in the form of official websites and accounts in social media. Though the respondents confirmed that they used web-based analytical tools to evaluate their own web-based representation, the survey demonstrates that just a small part of the analytical tools potentiality is actually used.

The article considers web representations of libraries as important modern information channels through which the libraries operate in the virtual space. The author provides conceptual rationale for improving the operational efficiency of the current level of library web sites based on the data analysis of modern web analytics systems. The article studies the analytical potential of tools for optimizing web resources in the information environment, substantiates scientific and applied interest in the methods of assessment of library web site using the capabilities of analytical systems, analysed from three angles: evaluation of web resources by means of key indicators, assessment of goal achievement and evaluation by means of visual analytical maps. To solve the set tasks there were used analytical tools: Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrics. The author carried out the study to determine the goal achievement and relevance of the web site sections using the example of the State Public Scientific Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (GPNTB SB RAS) web site. To assess the efficiency of library web resources, it is important not only to obtain statistical data from analytical tools, but also to interpret them correctly. The article presents an attempt of qualitative assessment of some key performance indicators. Collection and analysis of webometric indicators of analytical tools are of practical value, being an impetus to action — reorganization of library web resources. Based on the data analysis of Yandex.Metrics visual heat maps, the corresponding changes have been made to the web site menu. The author conducted comparative analysis of the web site traffic data before and after the changes made. The study concluded that the use of modern analytical tools in the web site management has positive dynamics for its development on the web environment. The results of the use of modern analytical tools for evaluation of library sites demonstrate the importance of their use in analysis of the efficiency of library in the virtual space, which, in turn, will have a positive impact on improving the image and competitiveness in the information and library sphere as a whole.

The mobile initiative is changing education and social life worldwide. The question is how to offer the same user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing mobile learning courses on different mobile devices. Developing effective web sites courses and content isn't only about creating a course with solid material. Managers and course authors are concerned about adapting different courses to a variety of learning styles and individual needs and keeping users interested and engaged. A good place to start is to organize thoughts and figure out exactly what is wanted to be included in the web sites course. Responsive design gives the ability to create a single m-learning course that automatically adapts to any browser or device. This allows the target audience to benefit from the courses without having to worry about screen size and resolution. In this chapter, m-learning is discussed in a responsive design context that can be used across platforms and offers the design of courses according to m-learning instructional strategies.

The power of the World Wide Web, it is commonly believed, lies in the vast information it makes available; "Content is king," the mantra runs. This image creates the conception of the Internet as most of us envision it: a vast, horizontal labyrinth of pages which connect almost arbitrarily to each other, creating a system believed to be "democratic" in which anyone can publish Web pages. I am proposing a new, vertical and hierarchical conception of the Web, observing the fact that almost everyone searching for information on the Web has to go through filter Web sites of some sort, such as search engines, to find it. The Albert Einstein Online Web site provides a paradigm for this re-conceptualization of the Web, based on a distinction between the wealth of information and that which organizes it and frames the viewers' conceptions of the information. This emphasis on organization implies that we need a new metaphor for the Internet; the hierarchical "Tree" would be more appropriate organizationally than a chaotic "Web." This metaphor needs to be changed because the current one implies an anarchic and random nature to the Web, and this implication may turn off potential Netizens, who can be scared off by such overwhelming anarchy and the difficulty of finding information.

In developing web sites there are some rules that developers should depend on in order to create a site suitable to the users’ needs and also to make them as comfort as possible when they surf it. Before creating any website or operating any application, it is important for developers to address the functionality, design, usability and security of the work according to the demands.  Every developer has his/her own way to develop a website, some prefer to use website builders and while others prefer to what they have primarily formed in their mind What they have primarily formed in their mind preferred software and programming languages. Therefore, this paper will compare the web based sites and open source projects in terms of functionality, usability, design and security in order to help academic staffs or business organization for choosing the best way for developing an academic or e-commerce web site.

The article is dedicated to the analysis of negative aspects of the use of social media in civil service and the substantiation of the necessity of legal regulation of civil servants’ conduct in the web space. It is mentioned that the Internet virtual space has become another new place of life of a contemporary human and a civil servant as well. Like in physical and social space, a human is able to act, be active, influence the situation and other people while equally depending on their reverse influence. This requires greater responsibility from civil servants for the content of their posts and the information shared by them on social media as well as understanding that contacts established there shall still obey the law and the rules of virtual life. Emphasis is put upon the necessity of civil servants’ considering of the specific nature of social media that can constitute certain dangers. It becomes possible to invade their professional and private life, their personal data; they may be blackmailed, put under political pressure and so forth. Focus is placed on the absence of proper regulation of civil servants’ ethical conduct in the web space by the state. At the same time, the article shows international experience in the matter of regulation of a civil servant’s socialization in the web space. The authors examine foreign legislative acts regulating the particular question of the interaction of a civil servant’s real and virtual life. This leads to the conclusion about the advisability of the introduction of special recommendations or an ethical code which would regulate the rules of conducting civil servants’ web life. It is also emphasized that the implementation of the corresponding rules of British legislation into Ukraine would become a significant step to resolving civil servants’ web problems.

This chapter describes Web-based instructional tutors that support active and engaging learning. Towards that end, a theoretical foundation for designing such tutors is proposed and two Web-based tutors described. The tutors reason about a student’s knowledge and their own teaching strategies while taking advantage of the possibilities of the Web, by being open to other resources (Web sites) and other people (online communities). One tutor, Rashi, provides problem-based activities and tracks a student’s critical thinking in biology and geology, and the second, iMANIC, uses hypermedia to customize online lectures for individual students based on learning need. This work provides promising data points for the development of authentic and effective learning that can take advantage of the possibilities of the Web, without being rooted in extensions of what already exists in the classroom, such as lectures or bulletin boards.

This study presents the development of an empirically validated framework for users’ perception of effective Web sites for retail e-commerce (E-tail). In particular, we attempted to answer the main research questions: What are the major designs determining E-tail Web site effectiveness? How do these designs support Web users’ objectives in using the Web? Based on the concept of “fitness for use” and the reasons that consumers use the Web, we proposed that “effective designs for E-tail Web sites should support Web customers for their (a) information search, (b) pleasure and (c) business transactions.” Then, data were collected from a survey on 427 potential Web customers. An exploratory analysis was conducted to refine the proposed framework and to provide structure of the constructs in the framework to be validated by a following confirmatory analysis. Results suggest that the major designs determining E-tail Web site effectiveness include 16 factors, with 64 Web designs supporting the three major reasons for customers to use the Web.
