Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Library and Information Studies! This programme seeks to equip students with a sound theoretical base in library and information science and with extensive practical skills relevant to library services in the 21st century. Our graduates leave the programme well-prepared to provide support to professional librarians in a wide range of library functions and to respond to the needs of a variety of information users. 

The programme, through its course offerings, takes into consideration the technological and managerial changes which have created demands for paraprofessionals with strong interpersonal and organizational skills who have an understanding of information systems and technology and a commitment to high standards of ethical and professional conduct.
