Answer: 2
Explanation: It was Lord Curzon who first conceived the idea of opening a library for use of the
public. He took note of two libraries with rich collections of book - the Imperial Library formed in
1891 by amalgamating a number of Secretariat libraries and the Calcutta Public Library. The
Imperial Library (Indentures Validation) Act was passed in 1902 and the reconstituted Imperial
Library was formally opened to the public at the Metcalfe Hall on the 30th January, 1903 by Lord
Curzon with the intention that it should be a library of reference, a working place for students,
and a repository of materials for the future historians of India, in which, so far as possible, every
work written about India at any time can be seen and read.
After Independence of India, the NATIONAL LIBRARY came into being in place of Imperial Library
by the “Imperial Library (Change of Name) Act” in 1948. It was accorded a special status of an
institution of national importance in Article 62 in the 7th Schedule of the Union list of the
Constitution of India and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the then Union Minister of Education
opened the Library to Public on 1st February 1953,

Explanation: Proprietary software is software that, according to the free and open-source
software community, grants its creator, publisher, or other rightsholder or rightsholder partner a
legal monopoly by modern copyright and intellectual property law to exclude the recipient from
freely sharing the software or modifying it, and—in some cases, as is the case with some patent-
encumbered and EULA-bound software—from making use of the software on their own, thereby
restricting their freedoms.
Proprietary software is a subset of non-free software, a term defined in contrast to free and
open-source software; non-commercial licenses such as CC BY-NC are not deemed proprietary
but are non-free. Proprietary software may either be closed-source software or source-available
software.

2.2
3.3
IMTEYAZUL HAQUE, AMU, ALIGARH Page | 51‘Types of library committees:
There are mainly two types of library committees —
1. Executive Committee: This committee is most powerful as it has full power over those
‘matters which are delegated to them by the library authority. So the decision of the library
executive committee is final and mandatory. It need not report its decision to the library
authority.
2. Advisory or Recommendatory Committee: It simply gives proposals which are subject to the
approval of the library authority.
If we go deep into the history of library committees we will also find some other types of
library committees. These are as follows:
& Self-Perpetuating Committee: These committees have the sole authority and independence
as regards the control and management of the library under it. It does not have to report to
any other higher body about its activities.
4 Adhoc Committee (Statutory Committee): It has the advantage of being independent of
politics. It takes decision expeditiously. This committee is more or less independent. The
Madras Public Library Act of 1948 provides the appointment of such a committee. This type
of committee serves as library authority.
4 Nominated/Elected Committee: A large committee or an authority nominates or elects a
smaller body for looking after certain bodies under it. It delegates certain power to such
smaller bodies or committees.
+ Recommending Committee: It does not have any real power except that it simply gives
certain proposals which are subject to the approval of the library authority.
+ Reporting Committee: This committee has sufficient powers to decide the matters within
certain limit. Such decision needs no confirmation of the supreme authority, but the decision
is to be reported to the latter for information.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions 96 to 100.
Libraries have experienced dramatic changes in the last several years as a result of COVID and
other extremal forces. As librarians look ahead to the future, here are a few key trends that will
shape their needs going forward. The shift to digital services and delivery models is enhancing
access but creating new challenges for libraries. The digitally is more convenient for many
patrons, and the shift toward digital delivery is likely to continue as libraries look toward the
IMTEYAZUL HAQUE, AMU, ALIGARH Page | 77future. Yet, navigating the complex licensing (and tricky economies) of acquiring elecronic
content and digitizing existing emergence of COVID-19 has greatly accelerated this trend, while
also demonstrating the value in transitioning from print to digital resources. Accessing content
and services materials isn't easy.
For instance, libraries need an easy way to administer different licensing agreements and lending
policies for various publishers and e-books. If they digitize their print collections, they'll need a
way to limit the lending of digital files according to best practices in controlled digital lending
{CDL) to avoid running afoul of copyright restrictions. Having the right technologies in place
allows libraries to manage these complex processes effectively.
Rising expectations are prompting libraries to improve the patron/experience. Today's customers.
expect more personalized and immediate service than ever before. Consumers rising
expectations are influencing how patrons want to be able to interact with library services as well.
The shift to digital services and delivery models is one way that libraries are responding to
changing expectations among patrons. But libraries are also looking for other ways. to improve
the experience for their users, such as by making it easier to find and check out materials that
match users' needs and interests.
Users want to be able to find what they need quickly and easily from whatever environment they
are using, whether that's a mobile device or even a learning management system if they're
enrolledin a course. Users also want to receive services. in the format of their choice. The digital
platforms that libraries use to manage their operations must be able to support these
capabilities.
As librarians are increasingly asked to do more with less, automation will play a key role in
helping them. achieve this goal. Streamlining workflows using automation and artificial
intelligence isn't just a cost-saving measure, it can also free up librarians to spend more time
interacting with patrons and providing other services that demonstrate real value to
stakeholders. The right technologies can also help librarians make better decisions about where
to spend their limited resources, so they get the most impact from their investment. For
instance, instead of acquiring books or digital materials that are likely to have a very narrow
appeal, would it make more sense to partner with other libraries through a resource-sharing
network?
The use of a platform with built-in analytics can help librarians make smarter decisions when
evaluating purchases or assessing the impact of programs and services, so they can serve the
needs of stakeholders more effectively. The right digital platform can accelerate innovation and
keep libraries one step ahead of whatever challenges the future might hold.
96. Which of the following factor poses a problem in acquiring digital content?
1. Emergence of COVID-19
IMTEYAZUL HAQUE, AMU, ALIGARH Page | 782. Complex licensing policies
3. Lack of preparedness of the patrons
