Libraries, Profession and Users Questions and Answers

Q: Assertion (A) : Every book in a library should have a chance of finding its appropriate reader.Reason (R) : Introduce an arrangement in which books have a chance of catching the attention of readers.

The answer is Both (A) and (R) are true.Assertion (A) is Ranganathan's Third Law of Library Science, 'Every book its reader': a library should see that each book finds the reader it can serve.Reason (R) states the means Ranganathan proposed for that law: arrangements such as open access, correct shelf arrangement, displays and catalogue entries, which give books the chance of catching a reader's attention. Both statements are therefore accepted, so the options marking either one false are wrong.

Q: Identify the correct statement. The second and third laws of library science imply which of the following ?(a) Library Catalogue should provide access to collection of library.(b) Catalogue should meat requirements of all users without any discrimination.(c) Only main entry is adequate to access the library collection.(d) Analytical entries of documents should be prepared to reveal contents of documents.

Statements (a), (b) and (d) follow, so the answer is (a), (b), (d) are correct.The Second Law, 'Every reader his book', means the catalogue must serve every reader without discrimination (b), and the catalogue must give access to the library's collection (a). The Third Law, 'Every book its reader', calls for analytical entries and cross references that reveal the contents of a document, so that a book reaches all its possible readers (d).Statement (c) contradicts the third law: a single main entry is not enough, since added and analytical entries are what bring hidden parts of a book to readers. Every option that includes (c) is wrong.

Q: Which User Education Programmes was initiated for underdeveloped countries by UNESCO ?

The key gives UNISIST/PGI.UNESCO's General Information Programme (PGI), set up in 1976 by merging UNISIST, its programme for a world science information system, with its work on documentation, libraries and archives, promoted information systems and training in developing countries, including programmes to educate users in using information services.The other options are UNESCO programmes in other fields: WWAP is the World Water Assessment Programme, LINKS is Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and IPDC is the International Programme for the Development of Communication, which supports media.

Q: Who was the pioneer of Social Libraries in USA ?

The pioneer of social libraries in the USA was Benjamin Franklin.In 1731 Franklin and members of his discussion club, the Junto, founded the Library Company of Philadelphia, a subscription library in which members pooled money to buy books for shared use. It became the model for the many social libraries that spread through America before tax-supported public libraries.Robert Keayne left a bequest for a public library in Boston in the seventeenth century, James Logan built a large private library in Philadelphia, and John Winthrop was a colonial governor. None of them started the social library movement.

Q: Which are the types of Literacies ?(i) Digital Literacy(ii) Computer Literacy(iii) Information Literacy(iv) Literary Warrant

The types of literacy are (i), (ii), (iii): digital, computer and information literacy.Information literacy is the ability to recognise when information is needed and to find, evaluate and use it effectively. Computer literacy is the ability to operate computers and common software. Digital literacy is the wider ability to find, evaluate, create and communicate information through digital technologies.Literary warrant is not a literacy. It is a principle of classification and subject headings, associated with E. Wyndham Hulme, that a class or heading should be created on the basis of the literature actually published on a subject. Every option containing (iv) is therefore wrong.

Q: Which committees were appointed to look into the working of the Public Libraries in England ?(i) Adams Committee(ii) Mitchell Committee(iii) Barry Committee(iv) Tilden Committee

The committees are (i) and (ii): the Adams and Mitchell committees.Both reports were made for the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust on public libraries in Britain: the Adams Report (1915) by W.G.S. Adams surveyed library provision, and the Mitchell Report (1924) by J.M. Mitchell reviewed public libraries after the Public Libraries Act of 1919. Later inquiries include the Kenyon Committee (1927) and the Roberts Committee (1959).'Barry Committee' and 'Tilden Committee' are not inquiries into English public libraries; Tilden is the name of a founding trust of the New York Public Library. So every option including (iii) or (iv) is wrong.

Q: Which of the following signify the concept of a user ?(i) Member(ii) Proprietor(iii) Customer(iv) Client

The terms are (i), (iii), (iv): member, customer and client.A library user is the person the library serves. Depending on the type of library, that person is called a member (a registered borrower), a customer (the marketing view of library services) or a client (the view of information services provided to an individual's needs). All three express the idea of someone who uses the service.A proprietor is the owner of a business or property. The owner of a library is its parent body or management, not its user, so every option that includes (ii) is wrong.

Q: Arrange the following concepts related with Information Literacy in logical order :(i) Evaluate(ii) Identify(iii) Locate(iv) Effective use

The logical order is (ii) (iii) (i) (iv): identify, locate, evaluate, use effectively.Standard definitions of information literacy, such as the American Library Association's, describe the information-literate person as one who can recognise and identify an information need, locate the needed information, evaluate it, and use it effectively. Each step depends on the one before: one cannot locate information without knowing what is needed, or evaluate it before finding it.The other orders start with locating, evaluating or using, or put evaluation before location, and so break this sequence.

The Second Law, 'Every reader his book', means the catalogue must serve every reader without discrimination (b), and the catalogue must give access to the library's collection (a). The Third Law, 'Every book its reader', calls for analytical entries and cross references that reveal the contents of a document, so that a book reaches all its possible readers (d).

Statement (c) contradicts the third law: a single main entry is not enough, since added and analytical entries are what bring hidden parts of a book to readers. Every option that includes (c) is wrong.
