Abstract
The purpose of the article is to present recommendations for optimizing websites / pages of libraries of scientific institutions of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS). Recommendations have been formulated based on the results of the content analysis of websites of SB RAS scientific institutions’ libraries, carried out in 2021. The tool of the analysis was the content assessment checklist developed specifically for this study, based on the literature review and the author’s own experience. The checklist contains 50 questions divided into five sections: site information, web page design and functions, content and web services.Websites / pages of 44 libraries of scientific-research institutions of Barnaul, Biysk, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Ulan-Ude, Yakutsk were studied; also an online survey was conducted of the staff of SB RAS scientific-research institutions’ libraries, concerning management and maintenance of websites / pages.As a result of the analysis, it has been revealed that not all scientific institutions have links to their libraries on the main pages, libraries are presented mainly in the form of the webpage of the institute’s website, are not very well structured and organized. As a rule library sites do not use adaptive design, navigation tools are not everywhere available, users do not receive comprehensive information about information resources and library services, and virtual services are not developed.Evaluation of the web content has made it possible to identify trends and problems in the state of scientific institutions libraries’ web sites.

Сайты библиотек научных учреждений должны учитывать эти требования, так как им необходимо обеспечивать доступ ученых ко всему комплексу разнообразных информационных ресурсов и услуг для решения научно-и сследовательских задач
Summary
Исследования, анализирующие библиотечные сайты, проводятся достаточно давно. Основное внимание в них уделено структуре, наполнению, навигационно- поисковым элементам сайтов, полноте представления генерируемых библиотекой информационных ресурсов, номенклатуре ее услуг [1–3]. Разработчики сайтов часто акцентируют внимание на эффектном дизайне, однако функциональность интерфейса и архитектура сайта также очень значимы и должны изначально учитывать запрос целевой группы пользователей [3; 5]. Сайт должен быть удобным и простым в использовании при каждом обращении к нему. Интерфейс запутан, информацию сложно найти самостоятельно без помощи специалиста, то пользователь может уйти на другой сайт [5]. Оценка различных элементов дизайна и доступности множества библиотечных сайтов показала, что для обеспечения работы веб-среды важно, чтобы сайт разрабатывался с учетом потребностей конечных пользователей [7; 8]
