SECTION A

KIGANDA HIGH SCHOOL PAGE 1

1.Read the passage below and answer the question after it.
A library refers to a collection of books. Some people have just a couple of
books in their bookshelves, which they describe as personal or home
libraries. This is understandable in the general context that a library is a
collection of books. In specific terms, a structure qualifies as a library
only when it has a minimum of 500 text books, not less than that. An
ordinary library has the following sections: Open shelves section, short
loan (book loan) section and reference loan.
The open shelves section is meant for all authorized library users. Users
can access books for books foe reading during prep. Most texts here
concern the main subject areas. Books from open shelves can be lent out
for a maximum of two weeks
The short Ivan section contains rare books of those that are in short supply but on high
demand. Borrowing is done overnight, in the evening or for two hours during, the day.
Anyone who overstays with a resource material is surcharged.
The reference section contains books used for reference only. Such as
dictionaries, at lases, encyclopedias, etc. Books in this section cannot be
lent out of the library.
A school library serves several functions. Its is an important research
place, a reference facility a learning resource centre for both leaners and
their instructors/ teachers, and a refreshment facility where individuals
can read newspapers, periodicals or novels as a pastime.
There should be a clear policy about how the library ought to be used in
a given environment. The librarian should work out a reading schedule
to accommodate all interest groups (all those who wish to use it at any
time) and ensure there are guidelines in place so that the facility does
not close down (there should be a librarian who should design a
lending/borrowing policy). He/she should also make the knowledge
acquisition processes easy and less cumbersome for users (the library is
a friend of learners and teachers). The librarian should also establish
rapport with all users, especially youthful learners, who should be
coaxed into developing interest in library use and application.
In the library reading resources are all classified. To classify books
means to arrange or group them according to the topic, title and author.
This is vital because it gives library users easy time in locating the books
they wish to read from the shelves. In sum, classification is the primary
key to assembling, finding, selecting and rejecting (discriminating) books.
Correct books and other materials classification is the starting point of to
the successful management of a library. This is done according to subject
groups or through catalogues on the shelves.

After classification, books are then arranged on the shelves. Arrangement
of books and other information materials is done by the guidance of the
classification system used. Books are arranged alphabetically e.g books
on mathematics authored by different people will be arranged by
considering the first alphabet of the author’s surname.
