Abstract :

Though some reports suggest that in-service training of library personnel started first time in India in the beginning of 20th century, yet the LIS education as university course started quite late as compared to other disciplines in undivided India. Geographically distribution of LIS education centres in India presents an interesting feature. Calcutta, Baroda and Lahore (in undivided India) set the motion and then Andhra and others followed. 1940s and 1950s have been the turning point so far the progress of LIS education is concerned. Spread of LIS education has been so that during last one century more than 100 universities have been imparting LIS education with quite a few colleges offering LIS education too. The preset study makes an Endeavour to trace the chronology of development of and chorology of distribution of LIS education in India.
