Question

Assertion (A) : Authority work deals with formulation and recording of authorised access points. 
Reason (R) : Without authority control, the burden is placed on user.

The correct answer is
(A) is true, but (R) is false.

Assertion (A) Analysis: Authority Work

The assertion posits that Authority work pertains to the creation and documentation of authorised access points. This is accurate. Authority work, particularly in library and information science, focuses on establishing and maintaining standardized forms of names, subjects, and titles to ensure consistency and facilitate information retrieval.

Reason (R) Analysis: User Burden

The reason suggests that the absence of authority control places the burden entirely on the user. While a lack of consistent access points does complicate searching for users, this statement is considered false.

Authority control is designed to streamline the information retrieval process. Its absence creates inconsistencies within the information system itself, which poses challenges beyond just the user. The primary goal is to improve the system's integrity and usability, not merely to shift a burden. Therefore, the reason is evaluated as false.

Conclusion

Assertion (A) correctly defines the scope of authority work. Reason (R) presents an incomplete or inaccurate view of the consequences of lacking authority control, making it false. Hence, (A) is true, and (R) is false.
