Reason (R) : Online access, open access, virtual reference are the results of this acceptance.
Codes :
UGC NET - 2014,
Answer: D
Both statements are true. Accepting the First Law, books are for use, has brought far reaching changes in the digital environment, and online access, open access and virtual reference are results of that acceptance.
The options calling either statement false are wrong.
The First Law, books are for use, is the basis for the move from closed to open access, so it follows that the changes named in the reason (online access, open access, virtual reference) are consequences of accepting it, which is why the reason explains the assertion.
