Computers have become a part and parcel of our everyday life. The consumption of computer has entrenched into each and every facet of human life and no doubt it has made us much more efficient and productive. The purpose of this study is to examine the occupancy rate of computers in the library of University of Wollongong at random time intervals. The observations has been recorded randomly from library by counting the number of computer sets in use at different time intervals throughout the week. The findings of the report states that most of the computers available in the library are in use when observed during the course of week. Findings of the study reveal high usage of computers in the library’s ground floor measured by the counting occupied at random time intervals.
