The basic principle which governs the selection of reading material for a library was enunciated by Drury in :
Answer: D
Drury enunciated the principle in 1930.
Francis K.W. Drury's book Book Selection, published by the American Library Association in 1930, stated the principle that governs choosing reading material: to provide the right book for the right reader at the right time. It became one of the standard laws of book selection, alongside the ideas of Dewey, McColvin and Ranganathan.
The other years are wrong because they do not match the publication of Book Selection. Lionel McColvin's Theory of Book Selection for Public Libraries appeared in 1925, which is the nearby date most often confused with Drury's.
