Library and Information Science

The gradual spread of the concept of democracy, the expansion of education, the intensification of research activities, and the rapid increase in production of recorded knowledge, have led to the expansion of libraries and the development of their services. A public library is an important element in the life of a community and is an indispensable part of an educational institution, school, college or University.

Librarianship is a growing field, which has by now attained the status of a separate discipline in the universe of knowledge. It presents challenges and interesting situations to library personnel. The management of these libraries needs persons with good academic and professional qualifications. Library work is primarily a social service, and therefore, needs young men and women with a sense of dedication and a spirit of service.
