RESEARCH PROPOSAL
Background
In the today's scenario, each and everything is managed and controlled through
computers. Generally, organization and businesses uses computer for purpose of business and
market planning. Computers helps in tracking customer data for managing its goods and
services. It is helpful for government offices, marketing, home, business, banking, hospitals,
business, education field and students. They are used for converting raw facts and data in form of
meaningful information with its knowledge. Computers have altered method of work from any
profession. It is natural about function of computer in context of education is very important in
this generation. The appropriate consideration of computer technology is present in each sphere
of life.
This technology has given huge impact on education sector. They are making things
easier and interesting as compared to before. In the similar aspect, direct owing to memory
capacities of computers along with big chunk of data which is stored. It helps in enabling quick
processing of data with fewer chances of mistakes in process. The networks computers directly
aids for quick communication with providing web access. The documents could be stored in
computer in soft copy format rather than hard copy as it helps in saving power (Lincoln, Messa
and Stone, 2018).
The present report is stating information about usage of computer in library in support of
UOW for enhancing academic communication. It has presence of numerous advantages which
comprises non-academic web browsing, gaming, email and participation in different non-
academic chat rooms are replicated as secondary activities. The library might prohibit these
activities which interfere with objectives which supports institutions along with research. The
primary user group is student, staff and faculty of UOW University with availability of computer
and database which are afforded through library (Mowatt and et.al., 2018). If library computers
are misused which gives outcome in suspension or loss of privilege with its application. In the
similar aspect, this report will articulate this research problem with appropriate data analysis
along with application of statistical tool as t-test from R software and its script as well.
Research aim and objectives
Aim: To find out usage of computer on ground floor in the context of UOW library.
On the basis of above aim following objectives have been drafted:
1

 To assess implications of usage of computer in UOW library.
 To assist high traffic time of computer usage on ground floor in library.
 To find that 80 computers are sufficient for UOW library or not.
Research methodology: The data will be gathered by adopting on sample t-test with
context of quantitative analysis (Ledford and Gast, 2018). There will be collection of data by
considering sample of 20 at different time from library.
Research questions
 What are the implications of using computer on ground floor in UOW library and there
present sufficiency?
 What are timings for high traffic of computer usage in UOW library?
Research problem
The main research problem with numerous implication of computer usage and timing. In
this present scenario, UOW library has 80 computers so in this order are they sufficient or not is
to be determined in this research proposal. In this context, this problem would be accomplished
by taking observations at different time from 10:30 AM to 16:30 PM as it would be creating
unbiasness in its outcome.
Significance of problem
This study has acknowledges effectiveness of computer usage in education system, it
reflects standards and knowledge of its users along with different features of library computers.
Usually, computers helps in gaining knowledgeable information and to reproduce various
desirable outcome for accomplishing its specific expectations. However, computer usage in this
UOW library along with various strategies for improving its standard and efficient way which
impacts university. This research problem has huge significance on basis of library along with
whole university. It is directly leading to security problem and involvement of technology
security as well. If computers are used in library for appropriate aspect, then it is advantage as
initial objective to host computer training session. In UOW library, there are total 80 computer
and there is requirement of assisting that they are enough and used for effective purpose or not.
