Q: Makers space is an area where students join in for ............. .(i) Organise(ii) Innovate(iii) Play(iv) General study

The answer is (i), (ii), (iii) are correct.A makerspace is a hands-on area with tools such as 3D printers, electronics kits and craft materials, where students come together to organise projects, innovate by designing and building things, and play, since experimenting and tinkering is part of how makerspaces teach.General study is what a reading room is for. A makerspace is about making and doing, so every option containing (iv) is wrong.

Q: Assertion (A) : Library needs to have makerspace.Reason (R) : It helps to flourish technical attitude in students.

Both (A) and (R) are true.Makerspaces have become a recognised library service, particularly in school, academic and public libraries, because they let users learn by building and experimenting with tools from 3D printers to electronics kits. That supports assertion (A).The reason gives the benefit: hands-on making develops a technical, problem-solving attitude among students, which is why libraries add such spaces. Since both statements are true, the options calling either false are wrong.

Assertion (A) : Distance education for LIS courses is gaining ground in India.

Reason (R) : Majority of people prefer it as an alternative channel of education.
Codes :

A.(A) is true but (R) is false.
B.(A) is false but (R) is true.
C.Both (A) and (R) are correct.
D.Both (A) and (R) are wrong.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Both statements are correct. Distance education in library and information science, offered by universities such as IGNOU and Annamalai, is spreading in India, and the reason that many people prefer it as an alternative channel of education explains why working persons and those far from campuses take it up. The options calling either statement false are wrong. The answer is that both (A) and (R) are correct. The demand comes from the need for professional education without leaving a job.

Assertion (A) : Information Literacy is a basic skill essential for work environment in 21st century.

Reason (R) : Information Literacy helps to train the users to make use of ICT.
Codes :

A.Both (A) and (R) are true.
B.Both (A) and (R) are false.
C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The assertion is true: information literacy, the ability to find, evaluate and use information, is a basic skill for work in the twenty-first century. The reason is not correct as stated, because information literacy is not mainly training in ICT: it covers recognising an information need, searching, evaluating sources and using them ethically, and ICT is only one means. So (A) is true and (R) is false. Information literacy is thus a wider skill than the use of technology, which is why the reason is only a partial statement.

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The public library Acts were passed in this order: Tamil Nadu in 1948, Maharashtra in 1967, Kerala in 1989 and Orissa in 2001. So the sequence is (i), (iii), (ii), (iv). Tamil Nadu was first, as the Madras Public Libraries Act, which Ranganathan helped to draft. The other sequences place Kerala or Orissa too early. The answer is the first sequence. Later Acts, such as those of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and West Bengal, came in between or after these, so the dates of these four set the order.

Match the following :

List - I	List - II
a. B.S. Kesvan	i. School of librarianship
b. Paul Otlet	ii. National Library of India
c. W.C.B. Sayers	iii. UDC
d. M. Taube	iv. Uniterm Indexing

Codes : a b c d

A.ii iii i iv
B.iii ii i iv
C.ii iii iv i
D.iv ii iii i

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

The correct match is a-ii, b-iii, c-i, d-iv. B.S. Kesavan was the first librarian of the National Library of India. Paul Otlet is the co-founder of the Universal Decimal Classification, with La Fontaine. W.C.B. Sayers is linked with the School of Librarianship in the United Kingdom, and Mortimer Taube developed Uniterm indexing. This gives the code ii iii i iv, which is option (A). Uniterm indexing, introduced in the 1950s, indexes documents by single keywords and so is the forerunner of post-coordinate retrieval.
