Libraries which have a large amount of genealogical materials need to manage them in a special way differing from the other materials. Although genealogy related materials have high pragmatic value, the reality is that the acquiring methods are limited to collect the genealogical table or is not systematic. Even the genealogical materials held in the library are not rationally organized. Under such circumstances, this study investigates the cases of the management of genealogical materials both in domestic and foreign institutions, and also examines the real situations of material organization such as the collection, the classification and the cataloging on the centering of the libraries which hold a large amount of genealogical materials. On the basis of this investigation, the study aims to measure the enhancement of the methods for collecting and organizing genealogical materials which enable the collection management and information retrieval for them to be efficient and effective.

The purpose of this study is to propose the criteria for evaluating web information resources. This study also attempts to get a sense of the overall quality of web information resources and to identify the relationship among the criteria, particularly those on the science and technology. Three evaluation categories are proposed; information content, functionality or workability, and design. Core features of information content includes authority, relevancy, currency; functionality includes navigation, user support, technical requirements; layout and design includes visual appearance. Based on the proposed criteria, the 50 sample web resources selected from 5 different field were evaluated. The results showed that the web information resources on the Electrical and Electronic Engineering field was excellent. The Pearson's correlation coefficient between evaluation criteria showed that information content and functionality had a negative relationship, on the other hand, functionality and design had a moderate correlation.

The most typical roles of libraries in their information societies are public access points to the networks, providing teaching and training, assisting in knowledge resource discovery, and knowledge providers.
