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.
