One of the important challenges facing the society is how to organize, control and access information. The technological advancements have made information available in greater quantities and increasingly diverse forms. Books, Journals, newspapers and non-book materials have joined electronic publishing, multimedia and internet to provide multiple choices for sources both for individuals and organizations. Libraries are now universally recognized as important social institutions, playing important role in providing right information on diverse subjects as per the growing need of the society at right time and right place. Since the profession of library science has social orientation therefore, needs young men and women with a sense of dedication and a spirit of service.
