The major circumstances that limit the extent of work carried out on this project is time factor. The time allocted for the study is very should. This has prevented us from carrying a much if more time was given.   

          Another problem faced is finance since we have to transport our selves from one library to another, transport fore period of fuel scarcity. Lastly is the unwillingness of some vital information belause vested to disclose they are banned from doing so or that gratification was not forth coming..
