The fourth edition of Who’s Who in Library and Information Science in Pakistan has been published recently by the Karachi-based Library Promotion Bureau, who had brought out its earlier editions in 1969, 1987 and 2004.
The book has been compiled by Dr Ghaniul Akram Sabzwari, the founder of Library Promotion Bureau, and one of the towering figures in the field of Library and Information Science in Pakistan with Abdul Samad Ansari, another veteran in the profession, being a co-compiler.
The fourth edition of Who’s Who in Library and Information Science in Pakistan has been made available in both paperback as well as hardbound editions, priced Rs 300 and Rs 350 respectively.
The book is not only available from the Head Office of Library Promotion Bureau, housed in Block 9 of Federal-B-Area in Karachi but it can also be acquired from the sales office of the bureau located in Texas, USA, and Ontario, Canada, with the international prices being US$15 for paperback and US$20 for hardbound.
It goes to the credit of the compilers to have acquired the brief profiles of as many as 345 individuals belonging to the profession Library and Information Science.
“After great strenuous efforts we have been able to acquire bio-data of 345 persons. The sad part of the story is that our senior librarians and LIS faculty members were quite indifferent to our constant reminders and requests. We picked up bio-data of 702 professionals, who did not respond, from our previous second and third editions,” the compilers wrote in the introduction to the book.
They have acknowledged the support of Prof Dr Nasim Fatima, Dr Rais Ahmed Samdani, Prof M Wasil Usmani, Prof Ramooz Khan, Prof Dr Rubina Butt, Prof Frazana Shafiq, Munir-ul-Haq Shahid, Amna Khatoon and Naheed Pervez, expressing their gratitude for being a helping hand in the project.
Who’s Who in Library and Information Science in Pakistan is an invaluable contribution to the profession and it’s a kind of reference book that should be a part of every library in the country.
