Department Of Library & Information Science

Department of Library and Information Science is one of the six earliest departments of the University. BLISc. Course has been introduced from the session 1985 – 86. In the session 1987 – 88 MLISc. programme is added. Research is part and parcel from the beginning of the journey. The Department became renowned very soon.

New inclusion from emerging fields in curriculum

Interdisciplinary activities are very much prominent in this department because of the nature of course contents of its BLISc and MLISc programmes. This initiative brings the students into contact with the knowledge generated in other disciplines and subsequently applied in LISc for its development. As a method of discovery, research sets no subject boundaries to this department. The research works carried out by different scholars are accelerated through cross-fertilisation of ideas drawn from Logic, Linguistics, Epistemology, Sociology, General Systems Theory, Electronics and Tele Communications, Environment Studies, Artificial Intelligence, Cybernetics, etc. The use of ideas and techniques developed in other subject fields facilitates the students and researchers to obtain new blends of knowledge and skills required in the design and development of tools and techniques of information processing along with the information systems and services of the future.
