Updated and employable curriculum, practice-led teaching and practice-supported learning, hands-on through online and offline resources, exposure to the advanced techniques in the field of librarianship, computing, internet and library software training facilities, library practicing in world-class MAHE Libraries, and internships are some of the features of the department.
