The April-June 2014 issue (Volume 45, Number 2) of the Pakistan Library and Information Science Journal (PLISJ), a quarterly publication of the Library Promotion Bureau (LPB), Karachi, has arrived with more content and pages than previous editions.
The latest issue of the PLISJ is spread over no less than 116 pages which includes 28 pages of Urdu content. The cover of the quarterly journal looks graceful in blue while the publication of photographs of its team members as well as the contributors in four-colour has made the cover pages even more attractive.
As usual the LPB President, Prof Dr Ghani-ul-Akram Sabzwari, who is also the Chief Editor of the PLISJ, has penned another thought-provoking editorial in which he has touched on the history of the institution he has founded and run with incredible passion for quite a few decades now.
“We have completed 44 years of the PLISJ. We have been striving hard during these years to encourage our professional friends to publish their research work in the journal. Our main objective has been to reduce dependence on foreign literature. Besides the PLISJ, we have published 67 books on LIS out of which 54 are in stock,” he noted.
