Overview

The SHPT School of Library Science, founded in 1961, is a Department of the SNDT

Women's University, and is situated on its Churchgate Campus. The Department

started by offering a Post-Graduate Diploma course in Library Science. Over the years,

following a policy of evaluating and revising its courses at regular intervals, the

Department has aimed to keep up with the expanding needs of the job market by

introducing new courses and upgrading existing courses.

Thus, the Postgraduate B Lib

Sc. degree course replaced the original diploma course in 1964 and was restructured

thereafter to B L I Sc. to keep abreast with the developments in the field. The Master's

course was introduced in 1978. In 2012, two-year integrated MLISc course was

started. The Ph.D. Programme was introduced in 1985. Revision of curriculum is done

at regular intervals.
