History
Library Education was initiated in the form of a Diploma in Librarianship by the then
Bombay University Library in 1943 at the Fort Campus. The increasing demand of the
course led to the establishment of the Department of Library Science in 1964 and the
Diploma course was converted into full time degree course of Bachelor of Librar y
Science. In 1967 the Master of Library Science course was introduced. In 1984 the
Department was shifted from the Fort Campus to the Jawaharlal Nehru Library at Vidyanagari Campus.
The Bachelor of Library Science course was first revised in 1978 , so as to strengthen
the professional contents and to include the modern techniques of Documentation and Information studies. A project report was also added as a component to introduce an element of research in the course. Practicals in Indexing and Abstr acting were also
added. In 1995- 96, project work was replaced by practicals on Computer. A separate
computer laboratory was set up in the Department so as to provide hands on experience to the students on computer applications. New topics in tune with the current developments in the field were introduced. From the academic year 1997- 98 the nomenclature of the Bachelor’s degree was
changed to Bachelor of Library & Information Science and Master’s degree was changed to Master of Library & Information Scienc e respectively. The nomenclature of
Department was also changed to the Department of Library and Information Science.
The course was further revised in 1995- 96 and partly in 2000, 2005 and 2006.
The Ph.D . programme in Library Science was initiated from t he year 1995- 96. The
Credit Based Semester System for the Bachelor of Library & Information Science
Course was introduced from the academic year 2012- 2013.
Based on UGC guidelines the one year Bachelor of Library & Information Science (BLISc.) and one year Master of Library & Information Science (MLISc.) courses were
converted into two years integrated Master of Library & Information Science course from the academic year 2015- 16. It is designed, keeping in view the changing ICT trends in
the Library Science profession as well as the requirements of the academic, public and corporate sector libraries. This integrated course has replaced the earlier one year
BLISc and one year MLISc courses. BLISc w ill now cease to exist. Choice B ased Credit
System (CBCS) will be introduced from academic year 2016- 2017.

The Department functions as a unit with University Library and is housed in ‘C’ wing of
J. N. Library building. The Department has made substantial contribution in the field of
Library & Information Science by producing eminent professionals who are occupying
key positions in Universities, Government Departments, Public Sector Undertakings and industrial establishments in India and abroad. This forms a strong and resourceful
