Abstract

For the development in any field of education literature’s role is inevitable. Same is the case with the Library and Information Science. This study is conducted for the purpose to integrate and

present library professionals with the current state of Pakistani LIS literature available in various forms produced by LIS professionals. As unfortunately less literature is produced in the field of Library & Information Science in Pakistan. The students, teachers and researchers rely on foreign library literature for keeping themselves up to date and completing their research endeavors. Therefore it is recommended that a network of the libraries of LIS schools should be established to facilitate the search and access to the existing LIS literature.
