The book covers the following chapters:
• Foundation of Library and Information Science – Questions on the historical, social, and philosophical bases of librarianship.
• Library Management – Questions on principles of administration, planning, and leadership.
• Knowledge Organisation: Library Classification – Questions on systematic arrangement of knowledge for efficient access.

• Information Processing and Retrieval – Questions on techniques and technologies for transforming data into meaningful information.

By presenting the subject matter in a question–answer format, the book aims to simplify complex theories, encourage self-study, and provide a ready reference for examinations. It is designed to serve as both a textbook and a guide, helping students build a strong theoretical foundation while developing confidence in applying their knowledge.
This book is the English translation of the book “Granthalaya Evm Soochna Vigyan B. Lib. ISc. Gyandarshika” and we have updated and added the questions as per new syllabus.
