PLACEMENT BROCHURE 2014-16MASTERS IN LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE
Centre for Library and Information Management Studies was established in 2012 in the library along with the launch of its academic programmes. Currently it offers PG Diploma, Masters and Ph.D programme in Library and Information Sciences.
Master of Library and Information Science is a full-time master's programme with a batch strength of 15 seats. Our first batch of 14 students have graduated last may 2015. As early as 2000, TISS saw a great need for trained manpower to deal with the digital libraries and e-resources. We have been a major hub of training and capacity building for information professionals ever since. We launched “Master of Library and Information Science” in 2013. Besides an excellent academic exposure, the students are also provided a unique learning experience, through practical based lab sessions and field based internships.
This is our second batch with extensive training in modern library administration, classification and ontology, cataloguing and metadata, digital libraries, content creation and management, web based information services, etc. The students have strong orientation towards research, analysis and practice and have the capacity to perform in any sector like academic and research libraries, corporate libraries and information centres, publishers and content providers, NGOs, School, Public libraries etc.
I am sure in this batch of students, the employer will find highly motivated, well trained professionals with adequate skills and temperament that will add tremendous value to their organisation.
We at CLIMS, are very pleased and proud with the young library and information science (LIS) professionals, who are being trained at our Centre. I am sure they will contribute significantly to LIS profession in India and I wish them all the very best in their journey.
