Introduction to Library Science

Library Science is a modern discipline. Earlier regarded as storehouses for preservation of manuscripts and books for reading and reference purposes, publicly or privately, the functions of Library today have assumed multifold dimensions today. Librarianship today deals with not only procurement, arrangement, maintenance and indexing of books, journals and audiovisual materials but also ensuring that the information reaches the reader/seeker. Computers and Internet play a vital role in this function. Present work is a fruition of painstaking efforts with a view to highlight different dimensions of Library Science and the prospects thereof for those having an inclination towards it.
