Education for Knowledge Organization: The Indian Scene.

This paper briefly traces the history of library education in India and examines the status of bibliographic organization and control in the country as a major factor influencing the nature and content of courses in knowledge organization. The two basic documents from the University Grants Commission-the first one issued in 1965 and the recent one in 2001-that have influenced university-level course contents are examined. Finally, the nature of changes that are being brought about in recent years in some universities are highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
