Abstract: Due to the ever-increasing nature of digital information, library and information science (LIS) professionals discover new ways to deal with the digital information resources in libraries.

In this context, this article explores the role of CSIR-NISCAIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources) in education and training for library and information management with special reference to professional development activities on digital libraries.
