Discussion
Which of the following are functions of intermediary ?
(i) Searching data and information
(ii) Acquisition of library material
(iii) Analysing data and information
(iv) Manage library activities efficiently
Answer: D
The intermediary's functions are searching and analysing information, so the answer is (i) and (iii) are correct.
An information intermediary stands between the user and the information sources. The intermediary takes the user's need, searches databases and other sources for data and information, then analyses, filters and repackages what is found so that it answers the user's question.
Acquisition of library material and managing library activities are general library administration duties, not the intermediary's role in information transfer. So every option that includes (ii) or (iv) is wrong.
