About the Book

This comprehensive glossary has been prepared to meet the growing need for updated terminology in the rapidly evolving field of Library and Information Science. Libraries and information centres are continuously influenced by changes occurring in society, technology, and information management practices. These developments are reflected in library services, professional practices, and modern information handling techniques.

During the last two decades, the increasing application of computers, information technology, and the emergence of the internet have introduced a large number of new concepts and technical terms into Library and Information Science. This glossary incorporates both traditional library science terminology and modern terms associated with digital technologies, information systems, networking, and electronic information management.

The publication has been specially compiled for students of Library and Information Science, working librarians, information professionals, teachers, researchers, and practitioners in the information sector. It aims to provide readers with a reliable and practical reference source that supports learning, teaching, professional work, and management responsibilities throughout different stages of their careers.

Written in a clear and accessible style, this glossary serves as a valuable reference tool for understanding the terminology used in modern libraries, information centres, digital environments, and information technology applications in Library and Information Science
