Digital library resources – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B and C give an accurate picture of digital library resources, whereas statement D is incorrect. Digital libraries typically provide e-books, e-journals and databases with authenticated remote access and facilities for searching and browsing. However, copyright and licence conditions continue to apply, so users cannot assume unrestricted use of all content. Therefore the correct combination is A, B and C only.

Option A:
Option A is correct because it gathers together the true statements about the range of resources, remote access and discovery tools and excludes the misleading idea in D. It reflects how academic digital libraries commonly operate.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect because it lists only A and B as correct and omits C. While access to resources and authentication are important, search and browse functions described in C are also standard features that should not be ignored.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it groups B and C only and leaves out A. Statement A identifies the main types of resources offered by digital libraries, so excluding it makes the description incomplete.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because it treats all four statements as correct and accepts D. Since copyright still governs digital content, assuming unrestricted use is wrong and invalidates the combination.
