They demand more such as want more sp ace area in library, asking UITM management to improve the radio receiver in the library, put more computer as the students are many, increase the student safety things, improvement of the toilet also, and they prefer want have a good network during office hours. All these opinions from their feedback show us that theres more action needs to take place for achieved the level of satisfaction towards library facilities.In order to improve more the services in library, all the facilities provided are playing the role. It is because without the good facilities, how the library wants to offer a good service? Which mean the facilities are related with the services that the library offer. Some of the respondents are giving a good feedback but some are not. They believe that all the library facilities are need to be improve more in order to attract more students to come the library. It is because some students doesnt like to come to the library because not satisfied with the facilities were provided.They feel uncomfortable and sometimes they matt-up that they prefer want study at room or their own places. 3. 0CONCLUSION Based on the data analysis and findings, we discover that the level of satisfaction towards library facilities are not achieved a good level. Some of the respondents are giving a good feedback but some are not. They believe that all the library facilities are need to be improve more in order to attract more students to come the library. It is because some students doesnt like to come to the library because not satisfied with the facilities were provided.They feel uncomfortable and sometimes they felt that they prefer want study at room or their own places. 4. 0RECOMENDATIONS Refer to the our research, we have been implemented to search what the elements or factors that need to be improve in term of the facilities at the PERPUSTAKAAN TUN DR ISMAIL. What we have been look into at this library, the things that need to seriously improvise are increase the availability of the chairs and table. This is because, the chairs and tables for the student to study are not validateed with the numbers of student in the UiTM.Most of the student need to wait for their turn to study or to get resources, this is because the there has no place for them to sit while getting the information needed. So, by this the management needs to provide more chairs and tables for make any back up if there a lot number of students want to study at the library. Other than that, the facilities that need to be improve is on the providing additional number if plug accessibility. Based on what we see, most of the student will bring along their laptop to study at libraries.This is because of the wireless system are provided and easy for them to get through of information or data during the study session. But the problems occur when the availability of plug are exceptional and they have to get turn to using the plug for charging their battery. Some of the students are like to spend their time in library for making assignment, research or to get information in library. So with the limited number of plug it become as a barriers to them for staying at the library for the long period of time. Moreover, the elements that need to improvise are provides more space for 12hours room.The availability of that room now, it cannot be vital with the student requirement. This is because, they need more space for study in that particular room. With the limited space which only can provide for less than 30 persons in that room makes the study for environment are not comfortable otherwise the space are very small and it is not suitable. So, the management needs to make up the space to become more relevant and also can support more students to using that room more effectively. Other than that, the management of library needs to manage the toilet condition.This is because, when the students want to use the toilet, they need to go down stairs and go to the toilet at the entrance of PTDI library. This is because, toilet which in the library is always under the maintenance and it is not in good order for the accessibility of toilet is not capable with not only for the student but also for the other users that come to our library. Therefore, increase in safety of beg shelf. At PTDI the safety of the bag are under the agreement of the students itself, but the place stated for the beg shelf are not suitable this is because it is located outside from the library and there is no bolt provided.Although, the safety of the bag under the students itself, the librarian have to provide a proper place for the beg shelf in the meanwhile it can reduce of the pilferage cases. Next is improvement on using the closed-circuit goggle box (CCTV). By having this system, the cases of lost of books, vandalism, students bad attitude and so on can be reducing although it cannot be fully eliminate. Otherwise is providing the room for pray. As we know, majority of the s tudents in UiTM is the Muslim students, it is necessary for providing the space for praying. Moreover is, essential more on photocopy machine and printer availability.What we have been look that, the photocopy machine are always cannot be used because of the crack-up and the machine are only two been provided. So, the management needs to provide more machines for the usage of students and its same goes to printer services. References Longman dictionary of contemporary English (4th edt. ). (2003).
