This study has two major goals: (1) to determine the current state of Iraqi university library websites and (2) to articulate a model to guide the development of these sites by examining the sources of the issues facing these library websites’ development. The study also considers the issues that face the development of an Iraqi-specific model for electronic educational resources and the ways in which these resources can be more useful. Measuring and evaluating Iraqi university libraries’ websites are the foci of this dissertation, in which the entire Iraqi national education system of state universities is considered as a single case study using a mixed-methods approach. The study sample includes the entire population of the library websites of the Iraqi state universities that are identified from the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research website. The study consists of three data-gathering exercises: a survey of library directors, interviews with library directors (or a representative of the administration), and a questionnaire for Iraqi LIS faculty members.
