The Pakistan Library Bulletin (PLB)
is the only journal which is being published regularly and timely from
Pakistan since 1968. In the begining was started in mimeograph form
in 1966. After getting the declaration from the government PLB is being
published as quarterly since 1968.
A group of serious, sincere and like
minded librarians established an organization viz Library Promotion Bureau
in the later part of 1965 in Karachi. The prime objective of this organization
was to creat conductive atmosphere for producing library literature in
Pakistan which was the need of the hour. By this time library science was
accepted as an academic discipline in the country and classes on
postgraduate level had been started since 1956 in various universities
of Pakistan. Library training schools had also come into being as early
as 1952 under the local library associations which were providing library
education and training at undergraduate level. This had created a demand
for library books and journals. Being conscious of all these facts it was
on the top of the agenda of Bureau's publications programme to bring out
a library journal beside other publications. Therefore, the Bureau soon
after establishment published Pakistan Library Bulletin (PLB).
To bring out a professional journal
in Pakistan without any financial support is a very difficult task. Besides
financial problems there was a great dearth of writers. The editors motivated
fellow librarians to pick up pen and start writing. They approached
people in different fields also to express their views about the usefulness
of libraries and their role in the pursuit of knowledge and research. Speeches,
messages, reports, reviews and articles of promoninent persons were published
in the journal. Similarly processdings of Pakistan Library Association
(PLA), Society for the Promotion and improvement of Libraries (SPIL) and
other organizations were covered and published. Foreign librarians and
educationists were also approached who contributed their articles and views
in the journal.
The Pakistan Library Bulletin was
first published under the editorship of Dr.Ghaniul Akram Sabzwari
between September 1968 to 1975 and then under the penmanship of Muhammad
Adil Usmani since September 1977 to December 2000 and now once again PLB
is being published from January 2001 under the Chief Editorship of
Dr.Ghaniul Akram Sabzwari. It has become the most consistent and reliable
journal for information professionals in Pakistan and the Gulf region.
