You are the head librarian of Greenfield Secondary School. The school board has asked you to prepare a report on the usage of the school library for the year 2020 and to recommend actions for the next year. The following information is available:
- Total library visits in 2019: 12,000
- Total library visits in 2020: 15,600
- A survey of 120 students showed that 72 (60%) think the library needs more computers.
- The board set a target of at least a 25% increase in library visits and the provision of 2 additional computers for every 100 students.
Prepare a report that includes an introduction, method of data collection, findings (show the percentage increase in visits and the survey result), and at least two concrete recommendations that meet the board's target.
Answer Options
A.
A model report would contain:\n- Introduction stating the aim and period (2020).\n- Method describing use of entry‑log data and a 120‑student questionnaire.\n- Findings showing a 30% increase in visits (15,600 vs 12,000) which exceeds the target, but incorrectly stating the board's target as a 35% increase, and that 60% of surveyed students want more computers.\n- Recommendations such as purchasing only two new computers (ignoring the 2‑per‑100‑students rule) and launching a weekly reading programme without a cost outline.
B.
