Which of the following are limitations of digital libraries ?

(i) Full text searching
(ii) Operational costs
(iii) Rights management
(iv) Hyper text linking
Codes :

  • A.(ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct
  • B.(ii) and (iii) are correct
  • C.(i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
  • D.(i) and (iv) are correct

Answer: B

The operational costs and rights management are limitations of digital libraries, so the code is (ii) and (iii).

Full text searching and hypertext linking are advantages of digital libraries, not limitations. Hence the codes that contain (i) or (iv) are wrong. The costs of hardware, licences and staff recur every year, and the rights of the owners of digital works must be managed with care. These are drawbacks, while full text search and hypertext linking are the strengths that make digital libraries attractive.
