Given below are two statements:

Statements I : One of the important functions of R & D library is having a provision of reference service.

Statements II : The users have no time to use the library as they are totally involved in research

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

The correct answer is Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.

Key Points

• Statement I: "One of the important functions of an R & D library is having a provision of reference service."
  • ​This statement is correct. Research and Development (R&D) libraries typically have a significant role in providing reference services to their users.
  • Reference services involve assisting users in locating relevant information, answering queries, and helping them access resources needed for their research and development activities.
  • R&D libraries are expected to offer such services to support researchers in their work.
• Statement II: "The users have no time to use the library as they are totally involved in research."
  • ​This statement is incorrect or at least overly generalized. While it is true that researchers can be very busy with their research projects, it does not mean that they have "no time" for library use.
  • In fact, libraries, including R&D libraries, are crucial resources for researchers.
  • Researchers often need access to specialized collections, databases, journals, and reference materials that libraries provide to support their work.
