Statement (A) : Stock verification is essential in the collection development in Academic Libraries.
Statement (B) : Stock verification is not a time consuming process.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Answer: A
The answer is (A) is true but (B) is false.
Stock verification checks the library's holdings against its accession records to find missing, damaged and misplaced items. In an academic library that information feeds collection development directly: it shows what needs replacing, weeding or adding, so statement (A) is true.
Statement (B) is false. Verification means checking every item on the shelves and in circulation against the register, often with the library partly closed, and it is notorious as one of the most time-consuming routines in a library. That is why sample verification and RFID-based methods are recommended. Options calling (B) true, or (A) false, are therefore wrong.
