The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the recent trends and development of LIS education and training in India. It has noted that first decade of 21st century was notable for library and information science education in India. A number of universities and institutions have initiated library and information science education and training program. Many universities and institutions have changed the nomenclature of LIS program, revised the curriculum, shifted from certificate course to master degree program to research study, and international collaboration. It is observed that many LIS schools have changed their curricula from minor tinkering to full revision, from traditional course to digital course. LIS schools opened-up for more interdisciplinary, more practical/practice oriented rather than theoretical classes, and also come forward for international collaboration. But, some of the LIS schools still suffer for their existence due to traditional course curricula, lack of infrastructure, lack of computer lab, and lack of teaching faculty and staff. An attempt has been made in this paper to review the trends of LIS education in India under three important phases; genesis of LIS education; LIS education during 1947-2014; and emerging trends in the new millennium in order to cover the important milestones that occurred in Indian LIS education.The literature that informs the study came from a wide range of sources.The paper provides useful current information to inform LIS professionals, fraternities, researchers, students and other stakeholders on the growth and development of LIS education in India. The article provides latest information regarding universities, institutions and colleges those imparting education, research and training program in library and information studies.Keywords

Empowering LIS professionals and making them acquainted with the latest technology based services to work competently in modern libraries is discussed in the paper. The paper examines the perceptions of recent Library and Information Science (LIS) graduates about their respective LIS curriculum and seeks suggestions. Participants include LIS professionals from a wide range of institutions including universities, research institutions, colleges, government departments, Corporate/Industrial Sector as also LIS Research Scholars from different parts of India. Results indicate that recent library and information science graduates are not satisfied with the curriculum, infrastructure, lab facilities and teaching methodologies. Professionals have also responded that the current program should be reviewed and revised according to the changing needs of the market. Suggestions for further research are proposed to study the need and expectations of the employer.Keywords

The growing implication of information technologies for educational institutions in general and learning in particular has been a subject of discussion. Nowadays, it has become essential for every educational institution to adopt new teaching and learning techniques. E-learning is seen as an option to deliver courses via Internet irrespective of the place. This research seeks to understand the preferences and experiences of students with regard to e-learning and also their awareness about the modules of the e-learning application (Moodle) being provided by the institution. The survey was conducted in the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. A questionnaire was used to collect the data from the students. 124 responses were received from post-graduate and doctoral level research students. The collected data was further analysed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and interpreted according to the objectives of the study. It is found that students are aware of e-learning management tool (Moodle) but, they are not aware of the various modules of Moodle and how to use these institutions should provide proper training and awareness program to the students in Moodle.Keywords

The main purpose of the study is to explore the pattern and trends of library usage. This study is based on library circulation data. Many tools and applications have been used for the research and data visualization e.g. Tableau, Voyant Tools, MSExcel, Google Ngram Viewer etc. The data set of library transaction was collected from the KOHA (Open Source Library Automation Software) of Sir Dorabji Tata Memorial Library (SDTM Library) of Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai. The research has been undertaken with the raw transaction data from the 2014 to 2018 time period. The striking trend suggests that from the year 2015 the number of books checked-out is declining every year. From the research it is also found that on Mondays maximum number of library transactions takes place at TISS library. Text visualization reflects that TISS library holds books in major domains of social sciences.Keywords
