Twenty five libraries of higher learning  and different associations that manage research were chosen utilizing purposive inspecting to take an  interest in the examination. An online questionnaire on Survey Monkey was sent to choose the  members and telephone conversations were done to catch up with members who neglected to react on  schedule. Information that was gathered utilizing interviews were entered manually into Survey  Monkey for simple analysis. It was discovered that the required research information managing is not being done. Analysts were dealing with their very own examination information. Information is a by product of the research procedure where published results are the direct outcome.
