Abstract

This study provides an overview of how the Philippine government agencies provide access to information through e-libraries in their website in terms of content, content format, services provided, and structure. It was found that out of the 205 government websites, only 24 or 11.70% have e-libraries. Strengthening librarians’ capacities to develop and/or design e-libraries with appropriate structure, services, content and format could help in maximizing the use of the internet in providing access to information. Additionally, a guideline in creating and designing e-libraries could be drafted for agencies to have an ideal, uniform, and functional platform in providing information.
