PLB at a Glance
**************************************************************************************
    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.
