Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) launched the Master’s Degree Programme in 1994 to impart high level skills and training necessary for those aspiring to hold higher positions in library and information centres in the country. Since then tremendous changes have taken place in the discipline - in information handling and organisation, management and dissemination of information. The development in Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) particularly the Internet technology has added new
dimension in information processing and its access. These changes have resulted in changes in the structure of the information institutions, systems and programmes. To prepare the library and information professionals for the changing scenario, the Programme has been completely revised to help professional development not only for those who are already employed in different types of libraries and information institutions but also for those who have to take up library and information science as a profession and
upgrade their knowledge and qualification. The revised Programme comprises nine courses out of which seven are Core Courses. Six courses are devoted to various information related areas, application of information communication technologies, management of library and information centres, etc. And the seventh core course in on Project Work/Dissertation. In addition to this, there are two Elective Courses designed to impart specific skills required in particular types of libraries or in developing specialisation in selected areas of the discipline. These elective courses are to be chosen out of the six elective courses offered by the University.
The curriculum incorporates compulsory practical components wherever required, aimed at exposing the students to some important areas of Information Technology such as CD-ROM, Online Searching of Databases, Database Design using readily available software packages such as CDS/ISIS, and Internet Searching, etc. The practical component relates to courses MLII-101, MLII-102, MLII103 and MLII-104. Particulars regarding the organisation of practical component will be communicated to the students by the coordinators of the respective Study Centres. Every student has to undergo this
practical component as a pre-requisite for completion of the MLIS Programme. For those courses where there is no practical component, students are to participate in seminars in the respective areas. The objective of organising seminars is to provide students some communication skills and also opportunities for interactive group discussions. The performance of the students would be evaluated and marks awarded to them based on their presentation and participation in the seminar. Apart from the practical assignments
and seminars, a student has to complete and submit one tutor marked assignment (TMA) for each course. It is imperative on the part of each student to be present at the practicals and the seminars and take active part in it. Submission of all the assignments is compulsory and students are to secure, minimum pass percentage (40%) in the assignments. It must be mentioned here that a candidate becomes eligible to appear at term-end examination, only after fulfilling all the above mentioned conditions without any exception. Candidates are also advised to note that the MLIS Programme is offered, for the time being, only through English Medium..
