It's a web application. Based on the tags used, I guess it's evaluated from HCI/design perspectives. You should be able to find/use heuristic guidelines on webpage design. In addition, you need to evaluate user interactions, such as how usable it is for a user to search for something, set filters, etc.

  • Thanks..I know how can I evaluate the digital library BUT what I want to know in the field of HCI the library evaluating under website or under interactive information retrival system? – John Aug 26 '15 at 09:34
  • DL can be a website or information retrival system, the major part is it should be able to store any type of data and provide services around the content – Viraj Parab Jul 03 '18 at 07:23
