Introduction

[edit]

The Central Department of Library and Information Science (CDLIS), Tribhuvan University (TU), was established in 1995 (2052 BS) with the aim of producing professional librarians in Nepal. Initially, CDLIS had launched a one-year course for a Bachelor of Library Science (BLib.), which continued for six years. Afterwards, BLib was upgraded to Masters of Library and Information Science (MLISc) in 2000 as an annual academic system. CDLIS had incorporated course curriculum oriented to the manual approach of library management to the digital information management approach in MLISc. The course was reviewed in 2014 as the TU has adopted a semester system for university-level degree courses.

This three decades of journey covered by CDLIS is successful for producing more than 300 professional librarians who are serving in different libraries of Nepal. From 2024 onwards,[1] the newest course curriculum of MLISc has been implemented by CDLIS. The faculties of CDLIS are Lila Nyaichyai, Ph.D., Nira Mananddhar, Sarita Gautam and Parbati Pandey.

It has its own department-level library and a computer lab too.
