 History
 The first American school of Library science was
founded by Melvin Dewey at Colombia University
in 1887.
 In India the existence of in service training was
initiated by John Macfarlane, the first librarian of
the Imperial Library (Now National Library) at
Calcutta from 1901-06, as mentioned in some
reports. In subsequent years, the training
programme was opened to the staff of other libraries

1939), the ruler of Baroda state called the American
librarian Mr. William Allenson Borden (1853-1931), a
disciple of Melvil Dewey to create a cadre of men for
the newly established libraries in the state library

class for working librarians of town libraries was

departure of Borden
Dr. Siyali Ramamrita Ranganathan
 The Father of Library and Information
Science in India (12 August 1892 – 27
September 1972)
 Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan was a
mathematician and librarian from India.
His most notable contributions to the field
were his five laws of library science and
the development of the first major faceted
classification system, the colon
classification.
Level of LIS Education
Library and Information Science Education in
India is presently offered at different level like :
 Bachelor’s Degree
 Master’s Degree
 M.Phil
 Ph.D.
Certificate course
 In 1912, the Punjab University called another
librarian Mr. Asa Don Dickinson (1876–1960)
from USA. He started the second educational
course of three month duration in library science
in the year 1915. This happens to be the first
university course in India. Mr. Asa Don
Dickinson later become the Librarian of
Panjab University, Lahore (now Pakistan)
during 1915–1916.
 ii) Andhra Desa: The Andhra Desa Library

Mysore Mr. M. Visweswaraya.
 iv) Madras Library Association: A summer
school for college librarians and lecturers in

Post Graduate Diploma
 University of Madras: University of Madras, in 1937,
introduced a one year Post Graduate Diploma course in place

first P G Diploma in library science in India.
 ii) Banaras Hindu University: The second university to start
a post graduate diploma course was
the Banaras Hindu University in 1942.
 iii) Bombay University: University of Bombay initiated a
diploma course similar to Banaras Hindu University in 1943.
 iv) Government of India’s in-Service Training Course: A

organizations was started in 1953. This course was
recognized as equivalent to the university diploma courses.
Degree Courses
 Aligarh Muslim University :
 In 1947, Aligarh Muslim University started
B.Lib. Science Course for the first time in the
country.
 ii) University of Delhi: University of Delhi was
the first university to establish a full fledged
Department of Library Science in 1946. It also
instituted the first post diploma degree course in
1948. In 1949, the structure was changed. The
programme of Master of Library Science was
introduced as a two year course with the first
year leading to Bachelor of Library Science.
 In between 1956-59, six new LIS departments
were established at Aligarh Muslim University,
MS University of Baroda, Nagpur University,
Osmania University, Pune University and
Vikram University.
 iii) Madras University:

recommendation of Review Committee Report
of UGC in introducing different degree courses
Five Year Integrated Course in
LIS
 : In 2010, University of Calcutta introduces five
year integrated course in Library & Information
Science and thus becomes the first university to
launch such course in LIS domain. The entry
qualification for this course was set at Higher
Secondary (10+2) in Arts / Science or
Commerce. Launching of this course will force
the learners to choose the LIS by choice and not
by chance. It will again help the students to
grasp and understand the contents for LIS in a
better and exhaustive way.

programme. The duration of M. Phil programme
in almost all universities in this country is one
year.
Ph.D. Programme
 i) University of Delhi: The credit for introducing
the doctoral degree programme in library science
