50 Years of Indian Librarianship

G. Devarajan (Editor)

Synopsis Information is a vital resource and valuable input for sustainable social development. Development of various types of libraries in India was in a sluggish pace during the post independence period. Attempts were made for the establishment of various types of libraries during the post independence period because of the initiative of various organisations. Now it is time to make an objective assessment in the development of libraries and librarianship in India during the past 50 years at the time when India celebrates the 50th year of independence. This volume contains sixteen learned articles focused on various aspects of public libraries, academic libraries, special libraries and library and information science education and research during the past five decades in India. This book is useful to the libraries, students, research scholars and teachers in library and information science. It is a valuable addition to library and information science literature.
