contents of Library and Information Science education. Library and Information Science (LIS), as other fields require consistent reforms and modifications in its
curriculum structure to make library professionals self reliant to fulfill the requirement of current situation. This paper analyses the current trends of curriculum and course content revision in Library and Information Science Education in India.
