The U.P.L.A. Newsletter marks a significant revival of the Uttar Pradesh Library Association-Lucknow Branch's publication initiative in collaboration with the Central Body, formerly known as the 'UPLA Newsletter', which was discontinued due to some unavoidable circumstances in 2000 after publishing its 19 volumes till 1999. It was first published by the Lucknow Branch in 1981.

The U.P.L.A. Lucknow Branch 2024 relaunched this publication in both digital and print formats, quarterly after a long gap of 25 years in October 2025, titled 'U.P.L.A. Newsletter; Vol. 45, Issue 01; July-Sept 2025.

After a twenty-five-year hiatus, the newsletter was relaunched by the U.P.L.A. Lucknow Branch in 2025, in both print and digital formats, on a quarterly basis. The revived issue was formally released in October 2025 as U.P.L.A. Newsletter, Volume 45, Issue 01 (July–September 2025).

To maintain continuity, the discontinued period from 2000 to 2024 has been treated as gap years, corresponding to Volumes 20 to 44, with Volume 45 continuing the series.

The newsletter aims to serve as a professional platform for documenting and disseminating the achievements and initiatives of libraries and Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals across Uttar Pradesh, while also highlighting developments at the national and international levels.

I extend my best wishes for the success of Volume 45, Issue 02 (October–December 2025) and convey warm greetings for a happy Gregorian New Year 2026.
