Message from
the Dean

In today’s pragmatic world, the most trustable information source still remains an interface between a library and a librarian. To keep this trust going, the students in Faculty of Library and Information Sciences are taught to manage and make use of information which is centred towards facilitating the learning process. I believe the major significance of this program is not only to manage the resources but also to have an apt understanding of this knowledge. The Parul University libraries have been serving this purspose by providing students and research persons with extensive and distinctive range of books as well as digital resources. We train our students to create the same atmosphere, which inspires learning and transforms them into ideal professionals who are responsible for driving this field. We focus on not only training librarians but on developing people who are passionate for knowledge. I welcome you to the Faculty of Library Sciences.

What Students Say

I always considered Library and Information Sciences as a minor field. But after joining this program in PU, I became more broad minded regarding it. I learnt that, there is no point biasing the traditional and digital means of information and they can indeed go hand in hand.

Fuzel Siddiqui

This program is not pursued by many since it’s a road less taken. I am glad I chose Parul University to pursue this, as I was opened to a variety of opportunities.

Himadri Pandey

The lectures at PU were very live and interactive. I gained a great experience by working in the fully equipped library of my institute.

Jayraj Barot

Skills like management, communication, science and computer have been deeply inculcated in me. All thanks to my teachers for incorporating these in me due to which I’m able to assist great librarians today.
