The collected data were categorized into their collection type, circulation frequencies, and subjects.

The number of circulated books, lent number, use factor, and the number of publication lapse year were extracted and analyzed using various types of statistical methods such as correlation coefficient and non- parametric chi-square analysis, etc. as well as descriptive ones.
