Maulana Azad Library
Maulana Azad Library is regarded as the second largest University Library of Asia with more than 13.5 lakh books, E- Books and other documents. The foundation of the Library was laid in 1875 when Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, a great social reformer of his time, established a School that later became Mohammaden Anglo Oriental College in 1877 and finally Aligarh Muslim University in 1920 by an Act of Parliament. The foundation stone of the Library was initially laid by Lord Lytton, the then Viceroy of India. That is why the Library was originally named as Lytton Library. The foundation stone of the present grand seven storied building of Maulana Azad Library was laid on November 12, 1955 by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, ex Prime Minister of India, who most graciously came again to inaugurate the Library on December 6, 1960. The library has thus completed 50 years. It was named after Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the great Educationist, Statesman and the first Education Minister of independent India. During the last couple of years, library services in the University have been substantially updated and modernized. Developments in the library services with the advent of latest ICT applications include- campus wide access to Online Catalogue, Digital Resource Centre with 2 lakh e-books / Encyclopedias and many language learning softwares, online journals; Automatic Security Gate for books; CCTV etc. As a sequel to that the library has recently received IP based online access to almost all important Internationally reputed Full Text Data Bases namely ‘Web of Science’, ‘Science Direct’, ‘SciFinder Scholar’, ‘ERMED Consortia’, ‘J-Gate’, ‘BIOSIS’ and ‘DELNET’. The Library serves the University community from 8 AM to 2 A.M. (next day). About 5000 students, teachers and other members of the University visit the Library daily.

Department of Library and Information Science
Department of Library and Information Science of Aligarh Muslim University is a premier institution in the field of Library and Information Science in India with a history that reaches back about sixty years. The foundation of the Department was laid way back in 1950-51 with the introduction of a ‘Certificate Course in Library Science’, by the then University Librarian, Padma Shri Prof. S. Bashiruddin. Encouraged by the success of the certificate course, late Prof. S. Bashiruddin introduced ‘Bachelor of Library Science’ in 1958-59 with full time lecturers for the first time in the country. The Certificate course was discontinued in 1968-69. Subsequently, ‘Master of Library Science’ was introduced in 1970-71. Another pioneering step taken by the department in the year 1986-87 was the introduction of Library Science as a subsidiary subject at B.A level in the Faculties of Arts and Social Science. Realizing the need and importance of research in the subject, the Department started M.Phil/Ph.D programmes since 1990-91. The teaching faculty of the department includes one Professor, three Associate Professors, two Assistant Professors, and two Guest Faculties. Using the modern ICT facilities in the dept, the faculty members are engaged in active research on various aspects of LIS. At present, the department has two ongoing projects sponsored by ICSSR and Department of Science and Technology Govt. of India. In the past also few UGC sponsored projects have been successfully completed. The guild of academic activities such as conferences, seminars, workshops and extramural lectures of eminent scholars have always been regular features of the department.

Pune Toy Library

How about joining a library for your six-month-old? Although toy libraries are common in the West, the concept is relatively new in India. At Chinchwadgaon in Pune, 54-year-old Shashikala Subhash Surana, a life insurance agent, has been running a toy library in the neighbourhood.

In London, the government runs such libraries which are free for children, but they are not found here . Shashikala offers four types of memberships ranging from Rs450 to Rs1,500 per quarter.

The toy library took its baby step in July 2009 and attracted many parents. The library has toys and puzzles for babies, constructive games and fun-and-learn games for older kids. Care has been taken to ensure that the materials used are safe and non-toxic. In all, there are 415 games, 250 books, and 150 CDs.

Members are allowed to take materials worth the amount of their membership and return them after eight days. 

In case the child loses a small part of a game, the parents are asked to pay only for the lost bit. If a major part is lost and the game cannot be played further, an appropriate amount is recovered.

Libraries v/s Internet

Are libraries finished? Five arguments for and against

With more than 400 public libraries under threat of closure, the campaign to save them is gathering pace. But in an age of downloads, cheap books and easy online shopping, can this great British institution survive?

Some of the UK's best-selling authors have joined the fight against "cultural vandalism" by backing a national day of protest read-ins against library closures on Saturday.

But no matter how eloquently Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy or author Colin Dexter extol their virtues, the fact is library visitor numbers - like their budgets - are falling.

Campaigners say they are irreplaceable doors to learning more relevant now than ever before, but for others the speed and breadth of the web has rendered them obsolete dinosaurs.

So what can the internet provide that a library can't, and when is there simply no online substitute for a trip to your local library? Here are five examples on either side:

Only at a library

1. Specialist research As tempting as it is to view the web as a panacea for gathering information, there are gaps only library documents, books and maps can fill.

Local and family historians as well as academic and historical researchers are among those who still rely heavily on paper and print.

Historian and author Andrew Dalby, 63, who edits pages for online encyclopaedia Wikipedia from his home in France, says he still needs regularly visits to good libraries in England.

"It's amazing what you can find online and also amazing what nobody managed to produce yet," he says.

"Those libraries that have managed to retain older collections need to go on retaining them... we need that evidence of ingenuity, originality and inspiration that we can lose if we only look at things produced in the last few years."

2. Environment to learn Sometimes there's no substitute for human contact. Mr Dalby says just being in a place surrounded by books and information with help at hand to access them is invaluable.

Whilst some will crave the refuge of silence libraries offer, others such as the vulnerable and isolated have a place to interact, learn and meet people.

Librarian and campaigner Lauren Smith, 23, says some lonely people would be even more isolated by being left on their own in a room trying to use the internet.

3. Expert staff Anyone who's spent five minutes trawling the thousands of medical and health websites will know the perils of misinformation.

Librarians have specialist knowledge and are trained to find reliable information and evaluate it - a skill as relevant in the digital age as it has always been.

Mr Dalby says simple Google searches are hit and miss, throwing up websites edited to varying degrees of academic rigour and professionalism. Librarians can help navigate through the "labyrinth" of information and around these pitfalls, he says.

4. Free internet access With 30% of the population still without a home internet connection, libraries are for many their first and last online experience.

Although some charge after a certain period, all libraries should offer at least some free online access.

Ms Smith says libraries reduce the "digital divide" by offering free access to those who can't afford a pc or monthly subscriptions.

5. Engage in local democracy Community forums in libraries are the perfect place to meet and engage in local politics because they're neutral, non-judgemental spaces, Ms Smith says.

"The problem with the internet is people flock together and have similar views, there's no real dialogue between people who have different views," she says.

"Libraries do so much more than just give information, there are community discussion groups... and reading groups where you can talk about green initiatives or economic issues."

Only online

1. Searchability The speed of research and interactivity of the internet make it an altogether richer experience than traditional libraries.

Mr Dalby says: "You can get lost in the world of information on the internet but we gain and lose.

"We tend not to read things all the way through anymore. You find a link, follow it and never go back to what you were originally reading, which is perhaps bad for the attention span.

"On the other hand, it's serendipity. It's wonderful that you can leap on from one source of information to another, from one question to another series of questions, it is a wonderful resource."

2. Digital books Forget catching a bus to the library to carry home a limited number, yet heavy stack nonetheless, of books.

For those who can afford a portable reader like a Kindle or iPad, the convenience of accessing books on a beach, up a mountain, or anywhere else for that matter, can be irresistible.

But with sales of e-books fast catching up paperbacks, the full impact on traditional publishers has yet to be revealed.

3. Comfort in numbers OK, forums and social networks can be an impersonal way to interact, but sometimes magic happens. Mr Dalby explains: "Sometimes the right answer just comes when people ask each other questions on forums.

"One adds one bit of information, another something else, and that information could be questioned by a third or fourth person.

"You create something together like bees in a hive, like bees building a honeycomb".

4. Brings niches together If you had a niche interest in something, it wasn't always easy to find someone with the same niche interest, now it really is, says Mr Belam.

"If you were, say, a Leeds United fan in Croydon, you used to have to join a club or put leaflets in your local library, then hope you find people in common.

"Community activity used to revolve around notice boards in town halls and libraries, now your notice board is global."

5. Self-publishing Mr Belam says the traditional barriers to publishing have been shifted by the advent of do-it-yourself e-books on the internet.

Whereas information in libraries has been limited to the books on its shelves - the information which managed to get published, sites like Blurb allow you to print on demand, he says.

Various sites allow you to download software which will format your manuscripts.

"You used to only be able to publish news by owning the printed presses, and you needed a publisher to agree to publish your book, now you can publish books on demand," he says.
