However, in 2000 there was a decline in the percentage, which saw a decrease by 10% to 55%, although a new category of borrowing or returning videos appearing in the chart for 2000 which accounted for 18% of the total.
The proportion for “study” and “obtain information” was equal, at 10% in 1991. The percentage increased by half for the reason of gaining information in 2000, but this fell dramatically to 2% for the “study” reason.
