library whereas sixteen spend less than half an hour daily. Only five respondents
spend about two hour daily on internet surfing in central library whereas six
respondents spend more than two hours daily. The results show that female
respondents spend slightly more time on internet surfing in the central library as
compared to male respondents. Eighteen respondents spend less than half an hour
daily on internet surfing at a place other than the central library whereas twenty eight
respondents spend one hour daily. Only five respondents spend about two hour daily
on internet surfing at a place other than central library whereas seven spend more than
