Research Population consisted of 375 users, 10 publishers and 12 librarians. The statistical test used for data analysis was T-Test. Findings: The Customer Relationship Management Process with Mean 2/12, P-value <0/001 was lower than average level. The internal supply chain management process with Mean 3/33, P-value= 0/013, and the supplier relationship management process with Mean 3/34, P-value = 0/005 were higher than average level.
