-Library Management Systems- Survey (2024)

The purpose of this survey is to gain honest feedback from a number of people to see how they prefer to recieve books and literary materials in the current digital world and understand why they choose to do it that way. The answers recieved on this survey will help in my final year project to develop a new library management system that meets basic user requirements. All answers given in this survey will remain anonymous and not be seen by anyone else.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.
