Which libraries are functioning as depository libraries ?
(i) Delhi Public Library
(ii) Connemara Public Library
(iii) British Council Library
(iv) Central Reference Library
Answer: C
The depository libraries among those listed are the Delhi Public Library and the Connemara Public Library, which is option C, statements (i) and (ii). Under the Delivery of Books and Newspapers Act, copies of every new publication must be deposited in a set of designated libraries, which include the Delhi Public Library and the Connemara Public Library in Chennai along with the National Library in Kolkata and the Asiatic Society in Mumbai.
The British Council Library (iii) is a foreign cultural library, not a depository library under the Act. The Central Reference Library (iv) is the Kolkata body that compiles the Indian National Bibliography and is not a depository under this Act. Options A, B and D each include one of those two, so they are wrong.
