Which is the most useful for decision-making in library ?

  • A.Text-books
  • B.Newspapers
  • C.News-letters
  • D.State-of-the-Art-Report

Answer: D

The most useful source for decision-making is the State-of-the-Art Report.

A state-of-the-art report surveys and evaluates the current position of a subject or technology: what has been achieved, what the options are and where things are heading. It condenses a large body of literature into a judgement that a manager can act on, which is why such reports are prized by planners and decision-makers.

Textbooks present settled background knowledge, not the current position. Newspapers and newsletters report events piecemeal and without evaluation, so they inform but do not support a decision the way a critical review does.
