A Bird's Eye View of LIS Education, Research and Training in India by Professor A. A. N. Raju

About the Book

Library and Information Science (LIS) Education in the Country has a history of a century.  During these hundred years it saw several ups and downs and slowly emerged as one of the important professional disciplines to train the required manpower.

Several books have been published on various facets of LIS education in the Country. The present book “A Bird’s Eye-view of LIS Education, Research and Training in India” is another latest addition to existing literature on LIS education in the country.  The ten Chapters in the Book throw fairly bright light on the state of LIS education in the country.  Especially Chapter-8: Ph.D. Output in LIS Departments is the highlight of this book which provides information about the year wise award of Ph.Ds of forty LIS Departments in the Country.  Chapter-10: Future of LIS Education, Research and Training in India is another important and useful chapter presented in the book.  Rarely such information was available from already published books on LIS Education.  Concerted and sincere efforts have been made to collect as much information as possible from LIS Departments. 

It is hoped that the latest Volume on LIS Education, Research and Training in India shall meet the needs of LIS professionals, teachers and research scholars in the country and elsewhere.
