Marathwada
University, now since 14th January 1994. Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar Marathwada University introduced the Post graduate
Diploma in Library Science Course during 1968, with the
persistent efforts of the University Librarian Late Shri N. A.
Gore. During the year 1969, in all Universities in India the
nomenclature of the course was changed from Diploma in Library
Science to Bachelor of Library Science, hence the examination
of the course was conducted as Bachelor of Library Science in
March/April, 1969.
Even though the course was started during the year 1968, the
statutory inception of the Department took place in the year
1979. The Master of Library Science course was introduced
during the year 1985-86 with the untiring efforts of the
University librarian Shri R.G.Jogdeo.
Considering the importance of information in day-to-day life,
and it is primary function of the Librarians to disseminate
the information to their users, the subjects Information
Science and Information Service were introduced in the course,
hence the nomenclature of the courses as well as Department
was changed from "Library Science" to "Library
and Information Science". Department started facilities
leading to Ph.D. degree from the year 1996.
Originally the Department started function in one wing of the
University Library, while from the year 1995 , the Department
has its own building. Prof.Yeshpal, Chairman of UGC, performed
the stone laying ceremony of the Department's building and it
was completed during the year 1992-93.UGC is generous to give
the grant of Rs.12.00 Lakhs for the extension of Library and
Information Science building during 9th plan period.
