Discussion
Statement (A) : Fact finding information can be easily obtained using handbooks, dictionaries, directories etc.
Statement (B) : A comprehensive literature search can also be conducted using fact finding sources.
Codes :
Answer: B
(A) is true but (B) is false.
Fact-finding (ready reference) sources such as handbooks, dictionaries, directories, yearbooks and encyclopaedias are designed for quick answers to specific factual questions, so statement (A) is true.
A comprehensive literature search needs bibliographic sources: indexes, abstracting services, bibliographies and databases that lead to the whole body of literature on a subject. Fact-finding sources give isolated facts and cannot support an exhaustive search, so statement (B) is false.
