The usage statistics and the perception of users about library websites are commonly used as an evaluation tool. This case study explores the website usage of the Natural Science Library (NSL) and Agricultural & Experimental Station and Library (AESL) of the University of Puerto Rico. This study reveals the importance and usefulness of these websites in the academic environment. The methodology used in the investigation serves as an indicator of use, contact with the users and their perception of services. The data were obtained from Google Analytics reports, interviews and focus groups about visits to website pages. The results show how much current use of resources and services are used to make improvements in the design and content.
