It later changed its name to School of Library, Archive and Information Studies[3] and then to Department of Information Studies.[5]

The School formerly awarded a Diploma in Librarianship. From 1970 onwards, this Diploma was known as a Diploma in Library and Information Studies. From 1947, the School also awarded a Diploma in Archive Administration. From 1966, the School also awarded Master of Arts (MA, by examination), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in Librarianship or Archives (the MPhil and PhD degrees are awarded for a thesis or dissertation).[6] From 1972, the School also awarded a Master of Science (MSc) degree in Information Studies.[3]
