Libraries have been at the heart of knowledge preservation, education, research, and information sharing for centuries. In today's rapidly evolving information society, libraries are no longer limited to physical collections of books; they have transformed into dynamic centers that provide access to digital resources, knowledge networks, and advanced information services. Understanding the principles and practices of Library Science is therefore essential for students, professionals, researchers, and anyone interested in information management.

This book, Library Science, offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). It explores the historical development of libraries, the organization and management of library systems, the acquisition and maintenance of collections, and the methods used to classify, catalog, and retrieve information effectively.

The book is organized into eight carefully structured chapters that guide readers from foundational concepts to modern technological applications. Readers will learn about library administration, collection development, cataloguing and classification systems, reference services, library automation, digital libraries, and various information sources. Practical examples and real-world applications are included throughout the book to strengthen understanding and professional skills.

A significant focus is placed on contemporary developments such as digital resources, electronic databases, metadata management, institutional repositories, RFID technology, integrated library systems, and information literacy programs. These topics help readers understand how libraries are adapting to technological advancements and changing user expectations.
