Continuing Professional Development Programmes for Library and Information Science Professionals in India

An Exploratory Study

Abstract

This paper traces the contribution of LIS departments and libraries of schools, institutions, organisations and associations in organising Continuing Education and Professional Development (CEPD) Programmes for LIS professionals in India. CEPD Programmes inculcate moral values, disseminate up-to-date information and knowledge as well as develop the skills of LIS professionals. This paper aims to find out the CEPD Programmes organising institutions, their frequency of organisation, geographical locations, by analysing the data collected from the information brochures of such programmes released by the organisers.
