*Maulana Azad Library*

Maulana Azad Library is regarded as the second largest University Library of
Asia with more than 13.5 lakh books, E- Books and other documents. The
foundation of the Library was laid in 1875 when Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, a great
social reformer of his time, established a School that later became
Mohammaden Anglo Oriental College in 1877 and finally Aligarh Muslim
University in 1920 by an Act of Parliament. The foundation stone of the
Library was initially laid by Lord Lytton, the then Viceroy of India. That
is why the Library was originally named as Lytton Library. The foundation
stone of the present grand seven storied building of Maulana Azad Library
was laid on November 12, 1955 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, ex Prime Minister
of India, who most graciously came again to inaugurate the Library on
December 6, 1960. The library has thus completed 50 years. It was named
after Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the great Educationist, Statesman and the
first Education Minister of independent India. During the last couple of
years, library services in the University have been substantially updated
and modernized. Developments in the library services with the advent of
latest ICT applications include- campus wide access to Online Catalogue,
Digital Resource Centre with 2 lakh e-books / Encyclopedias and many
language learning softwares, online journals; Automatic Security Gate for
books; CCTV etc. As a sequel to that the library has recently received IP
based online access to almost all important Internationally reputed Full
Text Data Bases namely ‘Web of Science’, ‘Science Direct’, ‘SciFinder
Scholar’, ‘ERMED Consortia’, ‘J-Gate’, ‘BIOSIS’ and ‘DELNET’. The Library
serves the University community from 8 AM to 2 A.M. (next day). About 5000
students, teachers and other members of the University visit the Library
daily.



*Department of Library and Information Science*

Department of Library and Information Science of Aligarh Muslim University
is a premier institution in the field of Library and Information Science in
India with a history that reaches back about sixty years. The foundation of
the Department was laid way back in 1950-51 with the introduction of a
‘Certificate Course in Library Science’, by the then University Librarian,
Padma Shri Prof. S. Bashiruddin. Encouraged by the success of the
certificate course, late Prof. S. Bashiruddin introduced ‘Bachelor of
Library Science’ in 1958-59 with full time lecturers for the first time in
the country. The Certificate course was discontinued in 1968-69.
Subsequently, ‘Master of Library Science’ was introduced in 1970-71. Another
pioneering step taken by the department in the year 1986-87 was the
introduction of Library Science as a subsidiary subject at B.A level in the
Faculties of Arts and Social Science. Realizing the need and importance of
research in the subject, the Department started M.Phil/Ph.D programmes since
1990-91. The teaching faculty of the department includes one Professor,
three Associate Professors, two Assistant Professors, and two Guest
Faculties. Using the modern ICT facilities in the dept, the faculty members
are engaged in active research on various aspects of LIS. At present, the
department has two ongoing projects sponsored by ICSSR and Department of
Science and Technology Govt. of India. In the past also few UGC sponsored
projects have been successfully completed. The guild of academic activities
such as conferences, seminars, workshops and extramural lectures of eminent
scholars have always been regular features of the department.
