10.0 CONCLUSION

Hopefully by the time we complete the survey we are able to distinguish what can

technology offer to us in our daily lives, be able to recognize the pros and cons of

technology thus helping the library to improve its services. We now know our objectives

in doing this survey. Plus, we can also be familiarised with the components of the

computer and also the software used at the library. It’ll be easier to relate to it being

students of the university because we always borrow the books from there.
