  1. A library wants to teach patrons to critically evaluate websites. Which framework is MOST widely used for this instruction?

    Answer: CRAAP Test (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, Purpose)

    The CRAAP Test provides a structured set of criteria for evaluating the credibility and appropriateness of information sources.

  2. Which type of data backup strategy ensures the library can recover the most recent data if a server fails at any point during the day?

    Answer: Continuous replication or real-time backup

    Continuous or real-time replication copies data as changes occur, minimizing data loss to seconds rather than hours or days.

  3. What is the role of an Electronic Resource Management (ERM) system in a library?

    Answer: To track licenses, subscriptions, and access terms for electronic resources

    An ERM system centralizes information about license terms, renewal dates, costs, and access conditions for all electronic subscriptions.

  4. A library implements a 'maker space' with 3D printers. Which intellectual property concern should librarians address when patrons print objects?

    Answer: Patrons may upload and print copyrighted or patented designs without authorization

    Reproducing copyrighted 3D designs or patented objects without permission can infringe intellectual property rights, requiring library policies to address this.

  5. Which authentication method do academic libraries most commonly use to grant off-campus access to licensed databases?

    Answer: EZproxy reverse proxy server

    EZproxy authenticates remote users and proxies their database requests through the library's IP range, satisfying publisher license requirements.

  6. What does 'digital divide' refer to in the context of public library services?

    Answer: Unequal access to technology and internet connectivity among different population groups

    The digital divide describes disparities in technology access based on socioeconomic, geographic, age, or other demographic factors.

  7. A library wants to stream a documentary film for a public program. Which copyright provision is MOST likely to permit this use without additional licensing?

    Answer: Section 110(1) of the Copyright Act, which allows face-to-face teaching exemptions in nonprofit educational institutions

    Section 110(1) allows nonprofit educational institutions to perform copyrighted works in face-to-face teaching activities without a separate license.
