University libraries and learning resources – UGC NET Question

Statements A, B, C and D together portray the comprehensive role of university libraries and learning resource centres. They show that libraries support teaching and research, offer user services, adopt modern management systems and create environments for self-directed learning. Statements E and F are false because students are central users of libraries and digital resources complement, rather than entirely replace, physical spaces.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because it omits D, thereby ignoring the specific contribution of learning resource centres to self-directed learning and student engagement.

Option B:
Option B is incorrect as it excludes A, so it does not explicitly state that core holdings such as books and journals underpin library functions.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because it leaves out B, thus missing the crucial human service element of reference and literacy training, which supports effective resource use.

Option D:
Option D is correct since it includes A, B, C and D, the four true statements describing collections, services, systems and learning support, while excluding E and F, which misrepresent who libraries serve and how digital and physical resources relate.
