Question

Match List-I with List-II \[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \textbf{List-I (Nature of Information)} & \textbf{List-II (Description)} \\ \hline (A)\ \text{Current Approach} & (I)\ \text{Attract the attention of documentalist} \\ (B)\ \text{Everyday Approach} & (II)\ \text{user needs a brief but a complete picture of the recent developments} \\ (C)\ \text{Exhaustive Approach} & (III)\ \text{Interact with information in a very general way} \\ (D)\ \text{Catching-up Approach} & (IV)\ \text{Information sought in a very specific and quick way} \\ \hline \end{array} \] Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (IV), (C) - (III), (D) - (II)
• (A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
• (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (I), (D) - (IV)

Hint:

Associate the approach with the goal: Current = what's new now. Exhaustive = everything ever. Everyday/Catching-up = specific, quick facts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Define each information-seeking approach from List-I (based on M.J. Voigt's categories). \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Current Approach: The need to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in one's field.} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Everyday Approach: The need for specific pieces of information for daily work (e.g., a formula, a date, a method).} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Exhaustive Approach: The need to find everything ever published on a subject, typically at the start of a new research project.} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Catching-up Approach: This is not a standard Voigt category. However, interpreting it as a need for quick, specific facts aligns it with the "Everyday Approach". There seems to be a mismatch in the question's terminology. Let's re-evaluate based on the provided descriptions.} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Match List-I terms to the List-II descriptions that fit best. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Current Approach: The need to know recent developments matches (II) "user needs a brief but a complete picture of a the recent developments".} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Everyday Approach: Seeking information for daily tasks often involves general interaction. This best fits (III) "Interact with information in a very general way".} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) Exhaustive Approach: A comprehensive search requires the full attention of a librarian or documentalist to locate all relevant materials. This matches (I) "Attract the attention of documentalist".} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Catching-up Approach: This implies a need for a specific fact quickly. This matches (IV) "Information sought in a very specific and quick way".} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 3: Form the correct combination. The best logical matching is A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV.
