A survey was conducted to sixty six (66) respondents from various departments at CFS, HUM. The methods used to analyze data were frequency distribution and descriptive statistic in order to achieve the objectives outlined. The most common issues faced by the lecturers were related to slow access time, complicated features and small storage capacity. The findings showed that Document Manager and Announcement modules were mostly used by users. There is a relationship between issues that contribute to usage pattern of the modules.
