Synopsis In India "Library and Information Science" is relatively a new discipline and people in this country are yet to evaluate it properly. The Library movement in India has come of age now, but the appreciation of the nature and amount of work involved in organizing a library for the service of society, is not much. In fact, we as a nation and as a society are far from being part of the library culture, which is very much in vogue in the West. The author has done an in depth study of the discipline and has discussed its future prospects in this country after analysing all the factors in a thorough manner. She has elaborately covered all related aspects, viz: role, working, significance and impact of libraries in the social context of our country. This book is a result of painstaking research and serious studies, spanned over years. It has come up as an exclusive and exhaustive work in the area of "Library and Information Science".
