Abstract

The web sites of the Spanish universities can be considered pioneers in the development of information systems in our country. Adecade after their beginning, these sites still have an outstanding presence and interest, having motivated the development of several studies that have measured specific aspects of their implantation. This analysis includes a wide range of aspects related to the ubiquity, visibility, content organization, formal aspects and users’ faithfulness, with the aim to properly reflect the importance of each one of them in a final grid. Our purpose is to define a set of measures that guarantee the viability of future replications of this experiment. The results reflect the degree of development of these sites and have been the background of a web portal that will serve as an observatory for the analysis and detailed study of this question.
