Resources in the university library as learning resources are one of the primary services that promote learning and research to improve university productivity. At present, users find it difficult to access e-resources and require assistance in finding them. When using the system, users felt frustrated, confused, and lost. The e-resources services system on library websites, on the other hand, lacks sociability and a sense of human warmth. Sociability and a sense of human warmth can be integrated into the website interface, which may evoke the sensation of being with an actual individual, even if the service is provided online. This study investigated the social presence aspects that can be implemented in the library's e-resources system. The purpose of this study is to elicit social presence features that can be implemented in the design of e-resource interfaces on library websites. The methods used in this study are in three phases: a) web content analysis from twelve university library interfaces designed in several countries; b) interviews with library staff; and c) assessment by a questionnaire of library website users. Website content analysis was used to investigate elements that offer many unique features to support the implementation of social presence through the e-resources interface. An interview was used to validate elements that were found in the web content analysis, and a questionnaire phase was used to assess the user requirements for these social presence elements. The results of empirical studies show that users need some elements of social presence, such as comments, chat, ratings, voice, personalized welcome in library accounts, tools, preference language, links for reference managers, and social media, as well as ease of access such as readable help font, color, and font size.

The study assesses ten select library websites from colleges affiliated with JNTU, Hydera-bad, for their usability, correctness, and accessibility. Additionally, it discusses the features and services offered by websites. A well-organized checklist was used to collect data from the study's selected colleges. According to the survey, the majority of colleges have included information about their services (80%) and infrastructure (80%) on their websites, and all libraries of selected colleges have incorporated details about their introduction (100%) collection (100%), and statistics (100%). However, the report did point out that none of the library websites or web pages have a section for people with disabilities, a user manual, a single window search, an Ask a librarian link, newspaper clippings, remote access, interlibrary loan (ILL)/document delivery, social networking facilities, or regular updates. They also fall short in terms of accessibility.The study's findings indicate that Sultanul Uloom College of Pharmacy and Shadan Wom-an's College of Pharmacy received the lowest score of six (06) out of forty-three (43) and are currently ranked last, while the library at Aurora's Scientific, Technological and Re-search Academy had the highest score of twenty-two (22) out of forty-three (43), and is currently ranked first. The paper offers suggestions for carrying out these assessment studies, which are critically required to allow organization to continually update their website and deliver better results in terms of user requirement.
