About the Book
This comprehensive volume is an important contribution to the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) in India, focusing on the biographical documentation of eminent personalities associated with the profession. While biographical dictionaries exist for many disciplines and professions at national and international levels, there has long been a need for a dedicated and organized biographical reference source in the field of Library and Information Science in India.
The book attempts to fill this gap by compiling valuable biographical information about distinguished professionals and contributors in the LIS domain. The entries are systematically arranged alphabetically by surname or personal name, making the publication easy to consult and use as a reference resource.
Each biography follows a structured format and includes important details such as name, date and place of birth, childhood, education, occupation, marriage and family, awards and honours, membership of professional organizations, foreign visits, publications, professional contributions, hobbies and interests, retirement details, and present address. This organized presentation offers readers a detailed understanding of the lives, achievements, and professional contributions of important personalities in Library and Information Science.
The publication serves as a valuable reference work for librarians, researchers, academicians, students of Library and Information Science, historians of librarianship, and professionals interested in the development and contribution of LIS experts in India. Though not claimed to be fully exhaustive, the book represents a significant and meaningful step toward documenting the history and personalities of the LIS profession in the country.
