Introducing Applied Information Science
AIS1501
Department of Information Science
Assignment 01 for 2021 (compulsory)




QUESTION 1 (1)

Choose the incorrect option.

A library in a society can serve as ____________.
1) A warehouse
2) An institution
3) A service organisation
4) None of the above

Answer:

A library is a service-oriented organisation created to facilitate access to learning resources,
propagation of basic knowledge, preservation and dissemination of information, human
culture and civilisation.

Refer to page 49 of the study guide:

3.4.2 The library as a service organisation

, Libraries are traditionally seen as institutions that provide a service to the group of people
that the library was established to serve – a service in the sense that a collection of sources
or books is offered to the community for use, with a catalogue as a key to the collection and
a group of people who act as mediators between the collection and the users. In general,
one could say that librarians are people who are keen to be of service to the community.

Also refer to page 89 of the study guide:

According to the IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto (1999), school libraries provide
information and ideas without which it is impossible to function in a society that is
increasingly based on information and knowledge. The school library equips children with
lifelong learning skills, develops their imagination and enables them to grow into
responsible citizens.
