Library science and information science are two
closely related and often intersecting disciplines
that deal primarily with the organization and
retrieval of information. Library science is an interdisciplinary social
science incorporating the humanities, law and
applied science and studying topics related to
libraries; the collection, organization and
dissemination of information resources; and the
political economy of information. Library science
has also historically included archival science,
although a conceptual distinction between libraries
and archives has evolved over time. [Adapted from Wikipedia]
