Question

computers are used in libraries for keeping records of books issued and returned​

Answer 1

For this reason, libraries use computer-based systems to keep a record of their books, and of the people who borrow the books.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Libraries often contain many thousands of books, magazines, CD-ROMs, etc. In fact, some of the largest libraries (e.g. The British Library in the UK) contain well over 100 million items - that's a lot of things to keep track of!

For this reason, libraries use computer-based systems to keep a record of their books, and of the people who borrow the books.

A computerised library database allows for:

Quick and easy searching for books

Easy printing out of book lists / labels

Easy tracking of book loans (who has it, when it was borrowed, etc.)

Automatic printing of warning letters for borrowers who have not returned books
