Karachi University Profile History and Details :
Spread over 1200 acres of land, University of Karachi was established through the parliament as a Federal University in 1951. However, through another act of the parliament in 1962 its status was redefined as university of the province of Sindh. On 23rd October, 1950 the Karachi University Act was passed and after an amendment in 1951, it was enacted and Prof A. B. A Haleem was appointed as its first Vice Chancellor. For the first two years, the University of Karachi remained as an examination University for the affiliated colleges. In the year 1953, it started its teaching and research activities at two Faculties of Arts and Science. Opened with an initial intake of 50 students, the university is now a sprawling structure of 53 Departments and 20 world class and highly reputable Research Centers and Institutes, under eight faculties of Arts, Science, Islamic Studies, Pharmacy, Management and Administrative Sciences, Law, Education and Medicine. At present, the enrolment of regular students at the Campus is slightly over 24,000. There are over 800 teachers and more than 2500 supporting staff.
The University in the beginning was housed in small buildings adjacent to the Civil Hospital. Meanwhile, due to rapid expansion, it began to be felt that the space in which the university was functioning was not enough for its needs. Moreover, the atmosphere of the congested and polluted area was not conducive to higher education and research. Thus, a plot of 1279 acres of land was acquired on the Country Club Road (now University Road) and on 18th January 1960 the university was shifted to the new campus. Thus began, a new phase in the life of the university. The day is still commemorated by various old students' Association and the University administration jointly.

The Central library of the University of Karachi is housed in a unique building, resembles a huge Ship. It is not only located in the center of the campus, but in fact a hub of academic and research activities of the one of the largest universities of the country.
The Library was founded in 1952, when the University of Karachi itself came into being. In 1975 after the death of Prof. Dr. Mahmud Husain then Vice Chancellor and renowned scholar, the library was named as Dr. Mahmud Husain Library in recognition of his services to scholarship, education and for the promotion of librarianship in Pakistan. The Library has a collection of more than 350,000 books and the same number of bound volumes of research and scientific journals. Library also has the status of UNO depositary center. A valuable collection of rare books and manuscripts consists of about 6000 volumes dated back to 16th century and the Personal book collections of 46 Scholars, writers and renowned academicians are also the part of the Library. The most significant of all is the personal collection of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, stored in the original antique book cabinets received as a part of the collection. Original photographs, letters and Posters of the Freedom Movement are also an asset for the Library.

The World E-Book Library Association is the world’s largest eBook provider. Founded in 1996, the World E-Book Library Association is a global coordinated effort to preserve and disseminate classic works of literature, serials, bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other reference works in a number of languages and countries around the world with a mission to aid students and educators by providing them the world's most complete collection of electronic text books, and documents on-line as well as offer a variety of services and resources that support and strengthen the instructional programs of education, elementary through post baccalaureate studies.
ESDU provides validated engineering design data, methods and software and considered as the source for critical information and insight. Digital Library has decided to extend the access of ESDU for all the academic institutes (Public & Private Sector Universities).
The World Bank is now allowing access to thousands of its datasets, which should help academics and practitioners work with the development data that was restricted to subscribers in the past. For more information click here
