The Centre for Library and Information Management Studies at Sir Dorabji Tata Memorial Library, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, is a major Centre involved in capacity building for LIS professionals. It offers PG Diploma, Master's, and PhD Programmes in the Library and Information Science discipline, with a focus on digital libraries, knowledge organisation, e-Resources Management, and web-based information services. TISS is happy to announce admissions to the 17th Batch of "Post Graduate Diploma in Digital Library and Information Management" for the year 2026-27. This cutting-edge, one-year dual-mode programme uses contact classes for on-campus (Physical) sessions and the Moodle e-learning platform for its off-campus sessions. It aims to develop trained human resources to manage digital libraries and electronic resources. There is a burgeoning need for trained librarians in light of national priorities such as Digital India, the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), and the National Knowledge Commission (NKC). With an emphasis on open-source software, some of the tools we focus on include Digital Libraries (DSpace), Content Management Systems (Drupal, Joomla), Library Automation (Koha), OJS, CORAL eResources Management, etc. The salient features of this programme are a well-crafted curriculum, expert faculty, enhanced emphasis on hands-on lab experience, sound theory and experiential learning unique to TISS.
