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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: A

Vidyanidhi is the Indian digital library of electronic theses and dissertations (ii), TKDL, the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, is a digital archive (iv), DOAJ, the Directory of Open Access Journals, is the digital library of journals (iii), and E-Prints@IISc is an institutional repository (i). So the code is (ii), (iv), (iii), (i), option (A). Option (B) pairs Vidyanidhi with the digital library of journals, option (C) pairs it with the digital archive, and option (D) with the institutional repository, so each of them misplaces it.

Match the following :

List-I	List-II
(a) DRUPAL	(i) Integrated Library Management Software
(b) Moodle	(ii) Digital Library Software
(c) D space	(iii) Content Management Software
(d) New Gen Lib	(iv) Learning Management Software

Codes :
(a) (b) (c) (d)

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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

Drupal is content management software (iii), Moodle is learning management software (iv), DSpace is digital library software (ii) and NewGenLib is integrated library management software (i). So the code is (iii), (iv), (ii), (i), option (C). Option (A) swaps Drupal and Moodle, option (B) pairs Drupal with digital library software and DSpace with learning management, and option (D) is the printed order, which pairs Drupal with an integrated library system, so they are wrong.

OAISTER is an example of digital libraries architecture based on

A.CORBA
B.Software Agents Architecture
C.Federated Database System
D.Metadata Harvesting

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

OAISTER is an example of a digital library architecture based on metadata harvesting. It collects the metadata of open archives through the OAI Protocol for Metadata Harvesting and offers a search over them in one place.

CORBA is a middleware standard for distributed objects, the software agents architecture uses cooperating programs, and the federated database system queries separate databases together. OAISTER does not work in these ways.

Which of the following are the advantages of RFID technology in libraries ?

(i) Tags can be read inside a case.
(ii) Hundred of tags can be read at a time.
(iii) Cheaper than Barcode
(iv) More security and Privacy
Codes :

A.(i) and (iii) are correct
B.(i) and (ii) are correct
C.(ii) and (iii) are correct
D.(iii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The advantages of RFID in libraries given by the key are that tags can be read inside a case and that hundreds of tags can be read at a time, so the code is (i) and (ii).

RFID tags cost more than barcodes, so (iii) is wrong. Security and privacy are not the advantages of the technology and are often raised as its concerns, so (iv) is not chosen either. A tag can be read without being seen, even through a book or a case, and a reader can read many tags in one pass, so stock checking and issue are faster. The higher cost of tags is the main drawback, not an advantage.

Which of the following associations have sponsored the Text Encoding Initiatives (TEI) ?

(i) ACL (ii) ACRL
(iii) ALLC (iv) ACH
Codes :

A.(i), (ii) and (iii) are correct
B.(ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct
C.(i), (iv) and (ii) are correct
D.(i), (iii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

The Text Encoding Initiative was sponsored by the Association for Computational Linguistics, the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing and the Association for Computers and the Humanities. The code is (i), (iii) and (iv).

The ACRL is the Association of College and Research Libraries and is not a sponsor of the TEI. So the codes containing (ii) are wrong. The Text Encoding Initiative is a project that defines a standard for the encoding of texts in electronic form, and its sponsors were three scholarly associations from computing and the humanities.

Which of the following are limitations of digital libraries ?

(i) Full text searching
(ii) Operational costs
(iii) Rights management
(iv) Hyper text linking
Codes :

A.(ii), (iii) and (iv) are correct
B.(ii) and (iii) are correct
C.(i), (ii) and (iv) are correct
D.(i) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The operational costs and rights management are limitations of digital libraries, so the code is (ii) and (iii).

Full text searching and hypertext linking are advantages of digital libraries, not limitations. Hence the codes that contain (i) or (iv) are wrong. The costs of hardware, licences and staff recur every year, and the rights of the owners of digital works must be managed with care. These are drawbacks, while full text search and hypertext linking are the strengths that make digital libraries attractive.

Who are associated with the digitization of the collection of Rabindra Bhavan, Vishav Bharati ?

(i) RRRLF
(ii) C-DAC
(iii) NIC
(iv) National Library of India
Codes :

A.(i) and (iii) are correct
B.(i) and (ii) are correct
C.(ii) and (iv) are correct
D.(iii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: B

The digitization of the collection of Rabindra Bhavan, Visva Bharati, is associated with the Raja Rammohun Roy Library Foundation and C-DAC, so the code is (i) and (ii).

NIC and the National Library of India are not named with this project, so the codes containing (iii) or (iv) are rejected. The Rabindra Bhavan holds the manuscripts, books and other records of Tagore, and the work of digitising them needed both a funding body for libraries and an agency with technical skill in computing, which the chosen pair offers.

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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The correct matching is the digital library with a collection of electronic resources giving access to organised digital objects (iv), the hybrid library with services in a mixed electronic and paper environment (iii), the virtual library with remote access through a local gateway (ii) and the electronic library with collections stored in electronic formats (i). The code is iv, iii, ii, i.

The other codes give at least one type of library the wrong description.

Match the following :

List - I	List - II
a. Survey of requirements	i. Design phase
b. Determining cost efficiency and effectiveness	ii. Installation phase
c. Review of the programs and their goals	iii. Analysis phase
d. Complete change over basics of system	iv. Evaluation phase

Codes : a b c d

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

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

The correct matching is the survey of requirements with the analysis phase (iii), determining cost efficiency and effectiveness with the evaluation phase (iv), review of the programs and their goals with the design phase (i) and complete change over to the system with the installation phase (ii). The code is iii, iv, i, ii.

The other codes assign the activities to the wrong phase of the system life cycle.

The distinct characteristic(s) of digital objects are

A.Physical Medium
B.Logical process
C.Conceptual recognition and transaction
D.All the above

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: D

All the above is the answer: a digital object is usually described at three levels, and each option names one. At the physical level it exists as bits recorded on some medium; at the logical level software interprets those bits through a format or process; at the conceptual level it is the object a user recognises and transacts with, such as a document, an image or a record.

Because the three levels together define what a digital object is, no single option (Physical Medium, Logical process, or Conceptual recognition and transaction) is complete by itself, so choosing only one of A, B or C leaves out the other two characteristics.
