We, the editors, sincerely felt that it is our professional duty to bring out this "Biographical Dictionary of Indian LIS Professionals" against great odds and difficulties. The entries are arranged alphabetically by surname / personal name. Under each entry, the information about individual biographies is presented, as far as possible in the following sequence viz. 1. Name, 2. Date and Place of Birth, 3. Childhood, 4. Education, 5. Occupation, 6. Marriage and family, 7. Awards, Prizes and Honours, 8. Membership of Professional Bodies, 9. Visits abroad, 10. Publications, 11. Professional Contribution, 12. Hobbies and Interests, 13. Retirement and 14. Present address. This compilation is not a comprehensive one but a very small and significant step in that direction. The Editors sincerely believe and hope that the LIS Profession appreciates the intellectual labour that has gone into this compilation and wholeheartedly support this very important publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive biographical guide to the scientific achievements, personal lives, and struggles of women scientists from around the globe. International Women in Science: A Bibliographical Dictionary to 1950 presents the enormous contributions of women outside North America in fields ranging from aviation to computer science to zoology. It provides fascinating profiles of nearly 400 women scientists, both renowned figures like Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie and women we should know better, like Rosalind Franklin, who, along with James Watson and Francis Crick, uncovered the structure of DNA. Students and researchers will see how the lives of these remarkable women unfolded, and how they made their place in fields often stubbornly guarded by men, overcoming everything from limited education and professional opportunities, to indifference, ridicule, and cultural prejudice, to outright hostility and discrimination. Included are a number of living scientists, many of whom provide insights into their lives and scientific times. Those contributions, plus additional previously unavailable material, make this a volume of unprecedented scope and richness.
