Library and Librarian Service in India

印度的图书馆诞生于英殖民统治时期。在印度独立后,被誉为"印度图书馆学之父"的阮冈纳赞为她的发展作出了重要贡献,而印度政府的重视也促使其发展更加系统化。印度国家图书馆馆藏丰厚多彩,管理科学化、制度化;德里公共图书馆的特色服务,得到读者的赞扬。印度的图书馆在提高印度人民整体素质方面正起着积极作用。

India's library in its modern sense was born in the colonial period.After independence,Ranganathan,known as the founding father of India's library,contributed much to librarian service and development in the country.Since then the Indian government has paid enormous attention to the public service that brings about its systematic progress.Among the advantages is the operation and management of library in a scientific and institutional way.
