The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the recent trends and development of LIS education and training in India. It has noted that first decade of 21st century was notable for library and information science education in India. A number of universities and institutions have initiated library and information science education and training program. Many universities and institutions have changed the nomenclature of LIS program, revised the curriculum, shifted from certificate course to master degree program to research study, and international collaboration. It is observed that many LIS schools have changed their curricula from minor tinkering to full revision, from traditional course to digital course. LIS schools opened-up for more interdisciplinary, more practical/practice oriented rather than theoretical classes, and also come forward for international collaboration. But, some of the LIS schools still suffer for their existence due to traditional course curricula, lack of infrastructure, lack of computer lab, and lack of teaching faculty and staff. An attempt has been made in this paper to review the trends of LIS education in India under three important phases; genesis of LIS education; LIS education during 1947-2014; and emerging trends in the new millennium in order to cover the important milestones that occurred in Indian LIS education.The literature that informs the study came from a wide range of sources.The paper provides useful current information to inform LIS professionals, fraternities, researchers, students and other stakeholders on the growth and development of LIS education in India. The article provides latest information regarding universities, institutions and colleges those imparting education, research and training program in library and information studies.Keywords

Participants include LIS professionals from a wide range of institutions including universities, research institutions, colleges, government departments, Corporate/Industrial Sector as also LIS Research Scholars from different parts of India. Results indicate that recent library and information science graduates are not satisfied with the curriculum, infrastructure, lab facilities and teaching methodologies. Professionals have also responded that the current program should be reviewed and revised according to the changing needs of the market. Suggestions for further research are proposed to study the need and expectations of the employer.Keywords

The exponential growth of number of journals and increasing prices has engendered the idea of open access among academic communities. To boost the open access movement and to make it a success many institutions, organizations and funding agencies are framing policies making it mandatory for researchers/academicians to make their intellectual publications available on open access platform. The paper aims to examine the copyright issues related to mandatory open access self-archiving and the availability of defined policies to guide the authors of scholarly publications in mandatory deposition. The relevant data for the study was collected through published literature and websites. The result shows that along with the early advocates, many other Indian institutions and publishers are also gradually moving towards the open access platform. However, sufficient information is not available on the website of institutional repository to determine the archiving rights of the authors.Keywords
