For the recruitment of trained manpower at different levels and award of fellowships, associateships and other types of scholarships, many of the national and state level institutions, government departments and other agencies have been conducting recruitment/eligibility tests popularly known as National Eligibility Test (NET), for according eligibility for the appointment of Lecturers in all subject fields including LIS and Assistant Librarians for university and college libraries. Many of the State governments have adopted the NET model and have been conducting State Level Eligibility Tests for the recruitment of Lecturers/Librarians in government degree colleges and other educational institutions. The second edition of ‘Objective Question Bank for Library and Information Science Ability Tests’ has been revised, keeping in view the changing requirements of the candidates appearing for UGC-NET and SLET examinations conducted by State level Institutions/Agencies. The work consists of four sections, viz.: Section A: Multiple Choice, Section B: Matching Section, Section C: Fill in the Blanks and Section D: True or False Statements. At the end of each subsection, answers are provided. The objective questions in four major sections and their subsections have been prepared on the basis of the latest UGC-NET syllabus for LIS. The present work takes care of Paper-2 of UGC-NET (Objective) and SLET examinations conducted by state level agencies. The work also serves as a handy tool for those appearing for entrance tests for admission to higher degree in LIS conducted by the Universities and other institutes of higher learning. All sections have been revised by adding additional new questions by giving more emphasis to emerging areas in Information and Communication Technology such as: Digital Libraries, Library Computerisation, Networking and allied subject areas. The author and publisher fervently believe that the present revised edition will be of great help to those appearing for NET/SLET and other eligibility tests and contribute in no small way to their success.
