SHPT School of Library Science

The SHPT School of Library Science, founded in 1961, is a Department of the SNDT Women's University, and is situated on its Churchgate campus. The Department started by offering a Post-Graduate Diploma course in Library Science. Over the years, following a policy of evaluating and revising its courses at regular intervals, the Department has aimed to keep up with the expanding needs of the job market by introducing new courses and upgrading existing courses. Thus, the Postgraduate B Lib Sc. degree course replaced the original diploma course in 1964 and was restructured thereafter to B L I Sc. to keep abreast with the developments in the field. The Master's course was introduced in 1978. The Ph.D. Programme was introduced in 1985. Syllabus have been revised regularly at the interval of five to six years.

The Department now offers the following post-graduate courses in Library and Information Science, viz.
* Master of Library & Information Science (M.L.I.Sc.) .
* Ph.D in Library and Information Science.
* Online course in Archives Management and School and Children's Librarianship

It also conducts on a regular basis Library Continuing Education Programmes for working librarians.
