Town (2003) notes the problem of information illiteracy within higher education: Students are relying uniformly on the web and show a lack of understanding about the resources available to them “because all the information is in the same place”. The web may have “changed everything” but in doing so it has created a new problem of information illiteracy; that of false confidence in the Internet as a complete information resource (Town, 2003). There is such a proliferation of content across such a range of areas, available with such immediacy that the sheer volume of information can seem overwhelming. For sufferers of this “Information anxiety” the simplicity of the Google search interface must act as a claiming tonic. It is not demanding of the information seeker in the formation of search terms and almost always produces vast numbers of hits. It even helps out with your spelling. Faced with such a bewildering array of electronic sources of information the ease and immediacy of retrieval becomes as important as the quality of the resources retrieved. This may be the most significant challenge to the information profession in the information society, to map and signpost the information landscape. This has been the traditional role of the librarian and whilst the information domain is changing the core principles of the profession remain as important to society as ever. 46. The growth of the Internet and its ubiquitous use in study and work creates new areas of concern. The most important one being information illiteracy in higher education. The growth of the Internet enables people pursuing higher education. Information literate helps them in their study and work. Internet use in higher education promotes information literacy and provides complete information resource. Students who use the Internet gain real confidence in the Internet as a complete information source. Answer: (A) 47. Information once recorded into the web remains static and can be utilized by the users of the web as and when they need it. The Web may have “changed everything”, but in doing so it has created a new problem of information illiteracy; that of false confidence in the internet as a complete information resource. The student of higher education may rely completely on Internet resources. Students who completely rely on the Internet uniformly do not lack understanding about the resources available to them. Answer: (B) 48. The large volume of content available on Internet across a range of areas does not create any “Information anxiety” in the users of the Internet. Information available on the Web across subject areas is of manageable proportions and does not bewilder the users of the Internet. There is proliferation of content across such range of areas, available with such immediacy that the sheer volume of information can seem overwhelming. ..... and may cause “Information anxiety”. It is easy to find relevant and useful information across a range of areas from the web without getting oneself bewildered. Answer: (C) 49. The most significant challenge to the information profession in information society is to map and signpost the information landscape. This has been the traditional role of the librarian and whilest the information domain is changing the core principles of the profession remain as important to society. The Internet does not pose significant challenges to the information profession. The role of librarians is not to map and signpost the information landscape. While the information domain is changing the core principles of the profession also should change. Answer: (A) 50. Retrieving pertinent information from the Internet is not demanding of the information seeker in the formulation of search terms and almost always produces vast number of hits. There is no user friendly search engine to help the information seeker to access pertinent information necessary for his work. The quality of information retrieved from the Internet is of high precision and does not pose problems to the user. ‘Information anxiety’ created by the bewildering nature of Internet is made simple by the user friendly quality associated with Google search interface. This interface acts as a tonic and helps the information seeker even with spelling. Answer: (D) Solved paper II of 2006 June UGC NET examination in Library and Information Science is given below.

It is a common practice in big business houses and government departments to resort to annual stock-taking in order to assess the profit or loss. They try to find out as to what has been sold out and what has been left behind so that a proper quantity of a particular item may be procured for future sale. There is a practice to differentiate between stock and store articles. More importance is attached to stock articles since these are of permanent value and are likely to remain longer in use whereas the store articles are consumable. An analogous example can be cited by referring to two kinds of leaves i.e. earned and casual leaves allowed to employees. The former can be cumulated whereas the latter cannot be cumulated since it is consumable and lapsable. Naturally, more importance is attached to the former one. Every employee tries to avail of the casual leave first before he requests for earned leave. The similar distinction is made between stock and store or stationery articles. A typewriter is a stock article while a pencil is a store article since the latter is likely to be used up soon. So little importance is attached to the store or stationery articles. The underlying idea behind this differentiation is the awareness of the sense of property which is a gift of the capitalist economy. 46. “Stock verification is a common practice in the following agencies only”.

Digital devices measure and display discrete quantities. Most clocks, for example are analog in nature and have hands that sweep along a continuous scale as do the needles on speedometers Digital clocks, however, display discrete numbers standing for the time. The numbers are either there or they are not, and they click into position virtually instantaneously. In fact, speed and accuracy are distinguishing features of most digital devices, because analog equipment comes in a poor second on both counts. A valid comparison can be made between slide rules, which are analog, and pocket calculators, which are digital. Accepts information in a unitary form, i.e., letters, symbols and numbers. These may represent anything the computer user wishes. All calculations and processing of the incoming data are done on the digital computer. Thus, all the mathematical rules and functions may be applied and the results are printed out in conventional letters, symbols or numbers. Thus, these are general purpose computers suitable for information processing in general. “Hybrid” computers have been developed to take advantage of the strength of both analog and digital devices. Typically, analog computers will measure physical quantities such as temperature or pressure and then relay the data to digital computers, which, because of their greater speed and accuracy, can perform statistical computations on the data easily. The output is then displayed in a convenient form for the human beings responsible for conducting or monitoring the operation in question. Because of their unique capabilities for symbol manipulation, digital computers loom for more important in applied information science than the other types, and it is to them that we shall be referring when we speak of computers from now on. The distinguishing features of digital devices are : (i) Speed (ii) Accuracy (iii) Timeliness (iv) Easy to Carry (A) (i) and (ii) (ii) and (iv) (iv), (iii) and (i) (ii), (iii) and (iv) Answer: (A) Digital clocks are analog in nature because : (A) they have two hands (B) their hands sweep along on a continuous scale (C) they show time (D) display discrete numbers standing for time Answer: (D) Hybrid computers are developed to take advantage of : (A) strength of analog devices (B) strength of digital devices (C) strength of both analog and digital devices (D) strength of none of the above Answer: (C) Analog computers measure physical quantities because of : (A) the temperature and accuracy (B) their greater speed and accuracy (C) the human beings (D) the complexities in operations Answer: (A) Digital computers assume more importance in applied information science because of : (A) the lack of capabilities for symbol manipulation (B) the capabilities for symbol manipulation (C) the capabilities for digital manipulation (D) the lack of capabilities for digital manipulation Answer: (B) 1.

To meet the challenge of change, much thought is currently being given to information studies, curricula and the requirement of a more broad-based education for the information scientist of the present. A developing country like India cannot afford to neglect these aspects of manpower training which is crucial to the success of development efforts. In the context of proliferation of literature, the information professional can hardly keep track of the information requirements of his clientele, unless he is well versed in modern information handling methods. Manpower for our libraries and information centres is presently drawn from library schools run by the universities and two specialised information science programmes offered by the DRTC and NISCAIR. Certain studies have revealed that “professionals trained by special institutes are far better in the information fields than their colleagues, the products of the University Departments.” It is pertinent at this point to design and formulate curricula in respect of the various levels of training to be imparted. Any consideration of the system of training to be meted out has to be at par with the present set up, function and purpose of the existing information centres. 46.
