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.
