About the Book

This comprehensive reference and examination guide on Library and Information Science (LIS) has been carefully compiled to provide students, researchers, and professionals with a broad overview of the discipline. Based on extensive research and organized in a systematic manner, the book serves as both a knowledge resource and a competitive examination preparation tool.

The book is divided into three major sections. The first section presents a rich collection of factual and reference information covering important historical developments in Library and Information Science, abbreviations, notable books and authors, terminology and their originators, library laws, bibliometric laws, cataloguing codes, conferences and seminars, library associations, institutions, public library acts, classification systems, library software, indexing techniques, and the contributions of leading personalities in the profession.

The second section focuses on the core subject areas of Library and Information Science, including the foundations of librarianship, library and information centre management, knowledge organization through classification and cataloguing, and the application of information technology in libraries and information services.

The third section is designed specifically for competitive examination preparation and includes questions from various examinations along with recent UGC-NET question papers and their answers. This makes the book particularly valuable for candidates preparing for UGC-NET, SET, SLET, librarian recruitment examinations, and other professional tests in the field.

Combining reference material, theoretical concepts, and examination-oriented content, this book is an excellent resource for B.Lib.Sc., M.Lib.Sc., and research students, as well as practicing librarians and information professionals.
