Library and information science

Library and information science (LIS)^[1]^[2] are two interconnected disciplines that deal with information management. This includes organization, access, collection, and regulation of information, both in physical and digital forms.^[3]^[4]

Library science and information science are two original disciplines; however, they are within the same field of study.^[5]^[6] Library science is applied information science.^[7] Library science is both an application and a subfield of information science. Due to the strong connection, sometimes the two terms are used synonymously.
