Abstract: Website is one of the most substantial mechanisms for any academic institution to publish and provides the information related to various activities such as admission, courses, examination, syllabi, fees, rules and regulations, placements, library facilities, research and publications, faculty, and services, etc. Keeping in mind, the researcher makes an effort to evaluate the content of the provided information by department websites of the DLISc (Department of Library and Information Science) in North East India. The findings showed that the Gauhati University DLISc Website scored 27 out of 35, which ranked first and came under a very good grade point. It was revealed from the study that no selected DLISc University Websites falls under the â€œOutstanding score criteria 29-35â€. The result of the present paper will be helpful to understand the current status of DLISc University Websites for website developers and administrators, so that they will make more informative, up to date information, authentic information, userâ€™friendly and dynamic ways to the users as per the userâ€™s requirement.
