About
The Institute of Information Management (IIM) at the University of the Punjab, Lahore, provides high-quality education and research to support Pakistan’s evolving information society. With a distinguished faculty of PhDs and visiting experts, IIM has developed robust infrastructure to adapt to digital advancements. Recognizing the shift from physical libraries to digital environments, the institute rebranded from ‘Library and Information Science’ to ‘Information Management’ in 2014 to address emerging needs. Established in 1915 by Asa Don Dickenson, IIM is Asia’s oldest institution in this field, pioneering research and education. Upgraded to an institute in 2021, it offers BS, Master’s, MPhil, and PhD programs, producing top professionals nationally and internationally. IIM ranked 51-70 in the QS subject rankings (2024) and leads Pakistan in PhD faculty and research publications. Since 1996, it has published Pakistan Journal of Information Management & Libraries, a SCOPUS-indexed journal. IIM celebrated its centenary in 2015 with great enthusiasm.
