Information Services and Networks Questions and Answers

Q: Full form of ADONIS is :

ADONIS stands for Article Delivery Over Network Information System.ADONIS was a document delivery service set up in the 1980s by a group of major scientific publishers. It supplied full-text journal articles, mainly in biomedicine, on CD-ROM so that document supply centres could print and deliver individual articles on demand. The key words are article and delivery: it delivered articles, not abstracts.The two options beginning 'Abstract' describe an abstracting service, which ADONIS was not, and 'Article and Documents On' does not match the acronym's letters in order.

Q: NISSAT initiated a project for a Knowledge Network using local language. This is known as :

The local-language knowledge network is Honeybee.The Honey Bee Network links grassroots innovators, farmers, scientists and policy makers, collects innovations and traditional knowledge from villages and shares it back with the communities in their own languages through local-language newsletters and databases. Like a honeybee pollinating flowers, it carries knowledge between people, and crediting the source in their own language is its founding principle. The paper credits it to NISSAT support.Gyandarshan is an educational television channel, NIC is the National Informatics Centre that runs government computer networks, and 'Grassroot' describes the network's users rather than its name.

Q: According to Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, reference service aimed at new readers is called :

Reference service for new readers is called Initiation.Ranganathan described reference service in stages. Initiation introduces a fresh reader to the library: its layout, its catalogue, its rules and the arrangement of books, so that the newcomer can start using it. Only after initiation does a reader need the other forms of help.General help to general readers is the continuing help given to readers in general. Short range reference service answers a question quickly from ready reference books, and long range reference service involves an extended search through many sources. None of these is the service for new readers.

Q: Promotion of Existing Information Systems & Services and not to dwell upon subjects already handled was an objective of which information system ?

This was an objective of NISSAT.The National Information System for Science and Technology, set up in 1977 by the Government of India, was designed as a coordinating system rather than a new information centre. Its objectives included promoting and strengthening existing information systems and services and avoiding duplication, which is why it supported sectoral centres such as those for leather and food technology instead of covering their subjects again.INIS (International Nuclear Information System) and AGRIS (for agriculture) are international, subject-based systems that collect literature in their fields, and DESIDOC is the defence information centre of DRDO. None was set up mainly to promote other existing systems.

Q: 'User Profile' contains :

A user profile contains information about the user's information needs.In selective dissemination of information (SDI) and similar current awareness services, the library records each user's subject interests, the kinds of documents wanted, languages and so on. That profile is then matched against new documents, so that each user receives only what is relevant to his or her needs.A list of descriptors is only one part of a profile, the terms used to express those needs. A list of useful citations is the output the profile produces, and a list of users is a register of users, not a profile of any one of them.

Q: Which is the first step in literature search ?

The first step is interaction with user.A literature search is run for someone, so it begins with the reference interview: finding out what the user actually needs, the scope, period, depth and purpose of the search. Without that, the searcher cannot know which concepts matter.The other options are later steps that depend on the first. Search terms are identified from the concepts the interview brings out; databases are selected to suit the subject and type of material the user needs; and the search statement is formulated by combining the chosen terms with Boolean and other operators.

Q: Which of the following statements are true in the reference of "All Expert" service ?(i) It is an e-mail reference service(ii) It covers all subjects(iii) It is free service(iv) It is fee based service

Statements (i), (ii) and (iii) are true, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iii) are correct.AllExperts was one of the first large question-and-answer services on the web: a user put a question to a volunteer expert chosen from a list covering virtually every subject, and the answer was sent back by e-mail. Because the experts were volunteers, the service was free to the person asking.That makes statement (iv), fee based, the false one, and every code that includes (iv) is wrong. Statements (iii) and (iv) contradict each other, so no correct code can contain both.

N-LIST is mainly for college libraries.N-LIST (National Library and Information Services Infrastructure for Scholarly Content) was launched in 2010 jointly by the UGC-INFONET Digital Library Consortium at INFLIBNET and the INDEST-AICTE Consortium at IIT Delhi.

A.S. Parthsarathy
B.Melvil Dewey
C.Samuel S. Green
D.Justin Winsor

Exam Year(s)

MH SET - 2018, SET Exam - 2018,

Answer: C

The concept of the reference librarian was first put forward by Samuel S. Green.

Samuel Swett Green, librarian of the Worcester Free Public Library in Massachusetts, read a paper on personal relations between librarians and readers at the first conference of the American Library Association in 1876. He argued that librarians should actively help readers find information, which is regarded as the start of reference service and of the reference librarian.

Melvil Dewey and Justin Winsor were his contemporaries, known for the Decimal Classification and for being the first ALA president. S. Parthasarathy was an Indian librarian of a much later period.
