Website of any political party is considered as a main source to catch and impart the different types of information to the targeted audience. This study aims to analyse various contents, options, applications, search facilities, resources, and other information available on the selected political party websites by using a checklist. The results of this study revealed that the majority of political party websites are building on different patterns, options and designs and have diverse information regarding their respective party history, constitution, logo, manifesto, photo gallery, current events, speeches, contact, and web 2.0 applications. It is also discovered from results that some political party websites do not have essential contents such as date of updating, feedback/suggestion option, party membership information, option for disabled people, mobile applications, public forum, and so on. This study may be helpful in developing the quality and in-depth contents for the political party websites of India.Keywords

Cloud computing technology has emerged as a major breakthrough for libraries offering various cloud-based services on web environment, and therefore libraries are adopting this technology for various purposes. In this respect, this study provides perceptions of libraries towards adoption, use, and future perspective of cloud computing technology. The results of this study revealed that most of the libraries were engaged for one year for cloud computing technology, but in future all libraries will be fully equipped with the technology. This technology is used for enhancing library services. Policy/privacy statements are most critical issues for selecting cloud computing vendors. Community and Software as a Services (SasS) models are widely used for cloud computing. This study will be helpful to find different views and insights of libraries which are connected to the cloud computing technology.Keywords
