The statement is true because the question mentions that there are 13 digits preceded by the letters "ISBN" printed in bold. This suggests that the given information is accurate and there are indeed 13 digits following the "ISBN" letters.

The statement is false because NBC offers more than just two services to publishers. While ISBN and ISSN are two of the services provided by NBC, there are other services like barcoding, cataloging, and metadata management that are also offered. Therefore, the statement that there are only 2 services offered by NBC to publishers is incorrect.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that the Deposit of Library Material Act 1986 in Malaysia requires all local publishers to deposit copies of their printed and non-printed materials to the National Library of Malaysia. This act is compulsory, meaning that all publishers are legally obligated to comply with this requirement. Therefore, the statement "Deposit of Library Material Act 1986 (Akta 331) is an act that compulsory for all local publishers in Malaysia to deposit 5 copies of any printed materials and 2 copies of non-printed materials for National Library of Malaysia" is true.

The given statement states that one of the activities of Persatuan Pustakawan Malaysia (PPM) is to co-organize activities every 2 years. The word "True" indicates that the statement is correct. Therefore, it can be inferred that PPM indeed engages in co-organizing activities every 2 years.

The statement is true because it states that there are three index publications, namely the Malaysian Periodicals Index, Index to Malaysian Conference papers, and Malaysian Newspaper Index. This implies that there are indeed three specific index publications in Malaysia.

The given statement is true. The International Serial Data System (ISDS) is a center under the National Library of Malaysia (NLM) that is responsible for issuing ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) for serial publications in Malaysia. The ISSN is a unique identifier assigned to serial publications to facilitate their identification and retrieval. Therefore, the statement accurately reflects the role and responsibility of ISDS in Malaysia.

Once an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is assigned to a book, it will not be re-used for any other book. This is because each ISBN is unique and serves as a permanent identifier for a specific edition of a book. Reusing an ISBN would create confusion in the publishing industry and make it difficult to track and identify different books. Therefore, it is true that an assigned ISBN will not be re-used.

The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) is a unique identifier assigned to serial publications, such as magazines, journals, and newspapers. By having an ISSN, Malaysian serials can gain international recognition and exposure, which can ultimately lead to increased sales. This is because the ISSN helps in cataloging and indexing the publications, making them more easily discoverable by potential buyers and researchers. Therefore, it can be concluded that having an ISSN can indeed promote sales of Malaysian serials.

CIP (Cataloguing in Publication) is a service provided by the National Library of Malaysia to publishers. This service allows new Malaysian books to receive cataloguing data before they are published. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

The correct answer is true because the process of how CIP (Cataloging in Publication) works is accurately described in the given statement. The author or publisher sends information to the PNM (Preassigned Control Number) agency, which then performs cataloging and sends the CIP data back to the publisher. The publisher can then print the CIP data on the publication.

The statement suggests that NBC produced special bibliographies which listed the prime ministers both in print and online. This indicates that NBC created a book that included information about the prime ministers and made it available in both printed and online formats. Therefore, the statement is true.

The statement is true because one of the scopes of ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is indeed e-books. ISBNs are unique identifiers assigned to books and other published materials to facilitate their identification and tracking. In recent years, with the rise of digital publishing, ISBNs have also been used for e-books to ensure their proper cataloging and distribution. Therefore, the statement is correct.

The statement is true because one of the scopes of ISBN (International Standard Book Number) includes loose-leaf publications. ISBNs are unique identifiers assigned to books and other published materials, and they help in the identification and tracking of these items. Loose-leaf publications are books or documents that are not bound together but rather consist of separate pages that can be easily added or removed. Including loose-leaf publications within the scope of ISBN allows for proper identification and management of these types of publications in the publishing industry.

The statement is false because ISBN is not only assigned to books, but also to other forms of publications such as cassettes, newsletters, and pamphlets. ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique identifier used worldwide to distinguish and track various types of publications, not just books.

The explanation for the given correct answer is that ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is indeed divided into five parts of variable length, with each part being separated by a hyphen or space. This division helps in identifying and organizing books in a standardized manner, making it easier for publishers, booksellers, and libraries to manage and track inventory.

The statement is true because an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) consists of five parts: Code for Book Industry, Group Identifier, Publisher Identifier, Title Identifier, and Check Digit. These parts help in identifying and categorizing books based on their industry, group, publisher, title, and a check digit for verification purposes.

Publishers who want to get an ISBN for their publication do not need to pay certain charges to the National ISBN Center.

ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a unique identifier assigned to each published book. By having an ISBN, publishers can establish their ownership over the books they publish. This identification system helps in tracking and managing the distribution of books, preventing unauthorized copying or distribution, and protecting the intellectual property rights of publishers. Therefore, it is true that one of the benefits of ISBN is to strengthen the ownership of the books by publishers.

According to the theory, the ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) should be displayed on a print publication, preferably in the upper right corner of the cover. This helps to easily identify and classify the publication. Therefore, the statement "True" is the correct answer.
