The Department of Library and Information Science at University of Calicut is one of the pioneer departments in the field of Library and Information Science education in India. The Department was established as a full-fledged department of study and research in 1985.

It has also launched M.Phil and Ph.D programmes (part-time and full-time) in Library and Information Science.
