Since its establishment in 1974, the Department of Library Science has undergone significant transformations in both its name and academic programs. In 1992, the department expanded its facilities by establishing a Library Science Laboratory and a Computing Laboratory for Information Science. Two years later, in 1994, it introduced a Master of Arts program in Library and Information Science. Further curriculum revisions were made in 2002, when the undergraduate program was renamed as the Bachelor of Arts in Information Science. In the same year, the department also launched a Master’s program in Information Management and Public Relations. At the doctoral level, the department initially offered a Ph.D. in Information Studies, which later evolved into the Ph.D. in Information Science, supported by the Fulbright Foundation. In line with broader administrative restructuring within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Department of Library and Information Science was officially renamed the Department of Information Science, reflecting its expanded scope and interdisciplinary focus.
