Assertion (A) : Several Library Science departments in India have shifted to integrated MLIS program.

Reason (R) : MLIS Program (integrated) is a right solution to knowledge explosion in the field.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false, so the answer is (B).

Several university departments in India have moved to an integrated MLIS programme in place of separate BLIS and MLIS courses, so (A) is true. The reason is too strong: an integrated programme is one of several responses to knowledge explosion, and calling it the right solution is not accepted by the key.

The other options call (A) false, or accept (R) as true.

Assertion (A) : Scholar frequency to visit academic libraries has decreased tremendously over the period of last two decades.

Reason (R) : E-scholarly resources are easily accessible to everyone from anywhere anytime.
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The key marks (A) true and (R) false, which is (C).

With e-journals and databases available on desktop, scholars visit academic libraries much less often than twenty years ago, so (A) is accepted. The reason claims that e-resources are accessible to everyone from anywhere at any time. The key treats that as false, since access depends on licences, connectivity and authentication, so not everyone has it.

The options calling (R) true, or (A) false, disagree with the key.

Direction for [ Question No: 123 To 126 ] :

Read the following passage and answer the questions :

Computing is in nature a problem-driven science and therefore PBL approaches have been applied to teach various subjects. Kay et al. (2000) describe PBL in foundation courses in computer science. The course is driven by specific problems related to programming skills and the instructors have set specific criteria to measure the success of their approach at the end of each problem. Having applied the approach for three years the authors of the study conclude that the PBL approach promoted the collaboration among students and their problem solving abilities. A problem-based approach is used in a software development project (O'Kelly and Gibson, 2006). The authors claim that, with this approach, students are provided with the freedom to think for themselves, activate their prior knowledge and acquire new knowledge in an explorative and creative way. Another study supports that lecture based approaches are not stimulating and the computer skills learnt are not transferable to other situations (Lai, 2005). The author applied PBL in teaching pre-school teachers popular computer applications such as Microsoft Office. Based on their evaluation of the activities, the author concludes that the course was motivational and also promotes higher order thinking skills. Ellis et al. (1998) refer to the full problem-based learning and the guided problem-based learning approaches. In full problem-based learning, the nature of the problem guides and drives the entire learning experience. There are no formal expositions of knowledge from the "expert", and the students develop resources based on requirements they determine. In guided problem-based learning, students have a problem to solve as a group.

What was the result of problem based learning approach ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

According to the passage, the result of the problem-based learning approach was that it promoted collaboration among students, option (B). The study of Kay et al. concluded after three years that PBL promoted collaboration among students and their problem-solving abilities. Improved peer coordination (A) is not the wording of the finding. Being applied to teach subjects (C) and being applied only to computer science (D) describe use, not results, and (D) is false because it was also used in a software project and for pre-school teachers.

What are the advantages of PBL application in teaching ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

According to the passage the advantage of PBL in teaching is the freedom to think, option (D). In the software development project students are given the freedom to think for themselves, to activate prior knowledge and to learn in an explorative way. Self study (A), exploration of literature (B) and soft skills (C) are not stated as advantages in the passage. The other options may be good effects of learning in general, but only the freedom to think is stated in the passage as an advantage of the problem-based approach.

What are the limitations of lecture based approach ?

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The limitation of the lecture based approach is that it is not stimulating, option (B). The passage says that lecture based approaches are not stimulating and that the computer skills learnt are not transferable to other situations. Option (A) says the reverse. Option (C), not repetitive, is not mentioned, and option (D), transferable to others, contradicts the passage. The limitation is a claim about learning, so options that praise the lecture method, or that give a feature not mentioned, cannot be the limitation stated.

Arrange the following Library Acts according to the year of their enactment :

(i) Arunachal Pradesh
(ii) Bihar
(iii) Lakshadweep
(iv) Rajasthan
Codes :

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

By year of enactment the Library Acts run Rajasthan, Lakshadweep, Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh, so (iv), (iii), (ii), (i), as the key gives them.

Rajasthan's Act is the oldest of the four. The Lakshadweep, Bihar and Arunachal Pradesh Acts came in the years that follow, with Arunachal Pradesh the latest. I could not verify every year, so the order rests on the official key.

The other options place Bihar or Arunachal Pradesh earlier than the Rajasthan and Lakshadweep Acts.

c. ALAiii. 1876
d. COMLAiv. 1924

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: A

The correct match is CILIP with 2002, ASLIB with 1924, ALA with 1876 and COMLA with 1972, so ii iv iii i.

CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, was formed in 2002 by the merger of the Library Association and the Institute of Information Scientists. ASLIB was founded in 1924, the American Library Association in 1876 and the Commonwealth Library Association in 1972.

The other codes give a year to the wrong body, such as 1876 to ASLIB.

A non-linear model of information seeking behaviour was presented by

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2014,

Answer: D

The non-linear model of information seeking behaviour was presented by Allen Foster (2004). It treats seeking as a set of core processes (opening, orientation and consolidation) that a person moves between in any order, with contextual and cognitive factors acting on all of them.

Wilson's models and Ellis's behavioural model and Kuhlthau's stage model are largely sequential or stage based, so they are not the non-linear model asked for.
