is a global set of conferences run by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, under the
slogan "Ideas Worth Spreading".[4] TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event;[1] the annual
conference series began in 1990.[5] TED's early emphasis was technology and design,
consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to include talks
on many scientific, cultural and academic topics.[6

groups of shelf marks and select the location(s) at which you assume to find the
titles.
o

By selecting ("+") or ("-" ) placed before the respective group of shelf marks,
you will differentiate this group further or close it respectively.

By selecting "Show results", you will obtain a list of Gttingen University

Catalogue titles comprising all the titles of the respective shelf mark group.

5. CCF stands for:

Common Communication Format

7. Chain procedure was initiated in:

8. In AACR-2, entry is Made under title when..
9. Write Anglo-American cataloguing rules.
The Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR) are a national cataloging code first published in
1967. AACR2 stands for the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition. It is published
jointly by the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, and the Chartered
Institute of Library and Information Professionals in the UK. The editor is Michael Gorman, a Britishborn librarian living in the Chicago area and honored by both the ALA and CILIP. AACR2 is designed
for use in the construction of cataloguesand other lists in general libraries of all sizes. collected at
the present time.
10. What is Cross Reference Entries?
The term cross-reference can refer to either:

An instance within a document which refers to related information elsewhere in the same
document. In both printed and online dictionaries cross-references are important because they
form a network structure of relations existing between different parts of data, dictionary-internal
as well as dictionary external.[1]

In an index, a cross reference is often denoted by See also. For example, under the
term Albert Einstein in the index of a book about Nobel Laureates, there may be the crossreference See also: Einstein, Albert.

In hypertext, cross-referencing is maintained to a document with either in-context (XRIC) or

out-of-context (XROC) cross-referencing. These, are, similar to KWIC and KWOC.

In programming, "cross-referencing" means the listing of every file name and line number
where a given named identifier occurs within the program's source tree.

In a relational database management system, a table can have an xref as prefix or suffix to
indicate it is a cross-reference table that joins two or more tables together viaprimary key.

SECTION B (Attempt any five questions)

11. What do you know about reference entries in cataloging?

12. Describe the rules for description.
PURPOSES OF ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION Archival description serves to identify and
explain the context and content of archival material in order to promote its
accessibility.20 The Bentley research group identified three specific purposes of
archival description, and the methods by which these are achieved.21 The purposes
are: 1. To provide access to archival material through retrievable descriptions; 2. To
promote understanding of archival material by documenting its content, context
and structure; and 3. To establish grounds for presuming the authenticity of archival
material by documenting its chain of custody, arrangement, and circumstances of
creation and use.

This part of the rules contains instructions on the formulation of descriptions of

archival fonds, series, collections, and discrete items. Those descriptions need (in
most instances) headings added to them to make the descriptions accessible. For
instructions on the formulation of such access points, see part II. (0.21.) 0.22. The
rules are based on the archival principle of respect des fonds and the framework of
the General International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD(G)).7 They follow
that framework exactly in the order of elements and their prescribed punctuation.
IFLA has developed, and is developing, specialized ISBDs for specific types of
material, also on the basis of the ISBD(G). Close correspondence will therefore exist
between chapters in part I and the corresponding ISBD.

13. What do you know about serial publication? Explain.

serial publication - a periodical that appears at scheduled times
serial, series
instalment, installment - a part of a published serial
periodical - a publication that appears at fixed intervals
semiweekly - a periodical that is published twice each week (or 104 issues per year)
weekly - a periodical that is published every week (or 52 issues per year)
semimonthly - a periodical that is published twice each month (or 24 issues per year)
monthly - a periodical that is published every month (or 12 issues per year)
quarterly - a periodical that is published every quarter (or four issues per year)

14. Discuss the purpose of uniform title.

A uniform title in library cataloging is a title assigned to a work which either has no title or has
appeared under more than one title. It is part of authority control. The phrasesconventional
title and standard title are sometimes used;[1] Resource Description and Access uses preferred title;
and the 2009 Statement of International Cataloguing Principles deprecates it in favour of authorized
access point.
There are many instances in which a uniform title can be used. Anonymous works such as sacred
texts and folk tales may lack an obvious title: for instance, the Bible, Epic of Gilgamesh, Beowulf or
the Chanson de Roland. Works of art and music may contain no text that can be used for reference.
A uniform title allows all of the works to fall under one title and will reference all of the items to which
the uniform title applies.
For example, if a library had 10 copies of Crime and Punishment but each copy was in a different
language, an online library catalogue can display all of the copies of the book together under the
chosen uniform title. The library could also list any copies of Crime and Punishment in other
mediums, such as film adaptations or abridged editions, under the same uniform title. This can help
a library patron when searching the online catalog find all of the versions of Crime and
Punishment at once instead of searching for each foreign title or film individually.

15. What do you mean by classified catalogue code?

16. Describe the types of entries.
When entering a reference in the database, the first thing to decide is what type of
entry it is. No fixed classification scheme can be complete, but BibTeX provides
enough entry types to handle almost any reference reasonably well.
References to different types of publications contain different information; a reference
to a journal article might include the volume and number of the journal, which is
usually not meaningful for a book. Therefore, database entries of different types have
different fields. For each entry type, the fields are divided into three classes:
required
Omitting the field will produce a warning message and, rarely, a badly
formatted bibliography entry. If the required information is not meaningful, you
are using the wrong entry type. However, if the required information is
meaningful but, say, already included is some other field, simply ignore the
warning.
optional
The field's information will be used if present, but can be omitted without
causing any formatting problems. You should include the optional field if it will
help the reader.
ignored

17. Describe the added entries according to CCC.

In library and information science, cataloging (or cataloguing) is the process of creating metadata
representing information resources, such as books, sound recordings, moving images, etc.
Cataloging provides information such as creator names, titles, and subject terms that describe
resources, typically through the creation of bibliographic records. The records serve as surrogates
for the stored information resources. Since the 1970s these metadata are in machine-readable form
and are indexed by information retrieval tools, such as bibliographic databases or search engines.
While typically the cataloging process results in the production of library catalogs, it also produces
other types of discovery tools for documents and collections.
Bibliographic control provides the philosophical basis of cataloging, defining the rules for
sufficiently describing information resources to enable users to find and select the most appropriate
resource. A cataloger is an individual responsible for the processes of description, subject analysis,
classification, and authority control of library materials. Catalogers serve as the "foundation of all

library service, as they are the ones who organize information in such a way as to make it easily
accessible".[1]

SECTION C (Attempt any three titles)

Title 01: (C.C.C.)
Indias trade agreement with foreign countries

Ministry of Commerce
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry administers two departments, the Department of
Commerce and the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion. The head of the Ministry is a
Minister of Cabinet rank. The incumbent Minister of Commerce and Industry (Independent Charge)
is Nirmala Sitharaman,[1][2] who has held the post since 27 May 2014. Nirmala Sitharaman is also
Minister of State for Finance and Corporate Affairs under the Ministry of Finance headed by Arun
Jaitley.

Government of India
The Government of India (GoI), officially known as the Union Government and also known as
the Central Government, was established by the Constitution of India, and is the governing
authority of the union of 29 states and seven union territories, collectively called the Republic of
India. It is based in New Delhi, the capital of India.
The basic civil and criminal laws governing the citizens of India are set down in major parliamentary
legislation, such as the Civil Procedure Code, the Indian Penal Code, and the Criminal Procedure
Code. The union and individual state governments all each consist of executive, legislative and
judicial branches. The legal system as applicable to the federal and individual state governments is
based on the English Common and Statutory Law. Because the seat of government is in New Delhi,
"New Delhi" is commonly used as a metonym for the Central Government.

New Delhi
New Delhi ( /nju dli/ (UK), /nu dli/ (US)) is the capital of India and seat of the executive,
i

legislative, and judiciary branches of the Government of India. It is also the centre of
the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. New Delhi is situated within the metropolis
of Delhi and is one of the eleven districts of Delhi National Capital Territory. The metropolitan area
has population of around 23 million and city population is around 11 million.
It is said to be place of pandava capital, Indraprastha. The foundation stone of the city was laid
by George V, Emperor of Indiaduring the Delhi Durbar of 1911.[4] It was designed by British
architects, Sir Edwin Lutyens and Sir Herbert Baker. The new capital was inaugurated on 13
February 1931,[5] by India's Viceroy Lord Irwin.
