Abstract

In this paper a brief analysis of the 35 National Libraries’ websites of the Americas is presented, considering both the main website features and the online services provided. These services have been categorised to ease the statistical data processing. The results highlight the relevance of the Web as a platform from which National Libraries can make public their collections and get closer to their users through online services, but they show as well a great gap between them regarding the technological solutions adopted and the range of services provided.
