Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Define ILSA. ILSA stands for the Indian Library Science Abstracts. It is an abstracting service that covers literature on library and information science published in India.

Step 2: Identify the publishing body. ILSA is a key publication of IASLIC (Indian Association of Special Libraries and Information Centres). IASLIC was founded in 1955 and is a non-profit organization that promotes special librarianship in India.

Step 3: Differentiate from other organizations. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{IFLA: International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions.} \\ \bullet & \text{ASLIB: Association for Information Management (formerly Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux) in the UK.} \\ \bullet & \text{UGC: University Grants Commission of India.} \\ \end{array}\] While these are important bodies, IASLIC is the one directly responsible for publishing ILSA.
