^{The Discipline of Library and Information Science  was introduced in one of the affiliated colleges of the University known as K.P. Guru Bhasha Bharti way back in 1970s. However, the Teaching of this discipline due to one reason or the other could not be introduced at the UTD level. It was strongly felt that the student of Mahakaushal region were being deprived of pursuing MLIS course at Jabalpur. Keeping in view the convenience, interest , demand and reduction in financial burden of the students of this discipline the R.D. University, Jabalpur instituted M.LIB I. Sc. course at UTD level from the year 1998. The department of Library and Information Science which is integrated part of the University Library has been successfully imparting instructions to M.Lib.& I.Sc. students for the last four years. <br></p>The experience of the university indicated that it was necessary for keeping high academic standards and preparing well equipped professionals, the curriculum of this discipline should not be diluted. For this reason the curriculum was continuously upgraded during the past four years. This eventually made the Library and Information Science curriculum compatible to any other leading university of the country. From the year 2002 the university has decided to introduce BLib.I.S.c. along with the existing M.Lib.I.Sc. course which means that there shall be a integrated two years course leading to B.Lib.I.S.c and MLib.I.Sc. In all there are 30 seats for B.Lib.I.Sc and 20 seats for M.Lib.I.Sc. These courses in Library and Information Science are being run under Self Financing Scheme( SFS). The admission is subject to Entrance Test as well as Merit.}
