Library Science

A career in Library Science allows you to apply your experience and education to help a school, college, university, municipality, or private organization provide library services. Find both online and campus based Library Science schools, courses or classes that award a variety of diplomas, degrees or certificates for successful completion. Library science or librarianship are the study of issues related to libraries and the information fields. This includes academic studies regarding how library resources are used and how people interact with library systems. These studies tend to be specific to certain libraries at certain times. The term library and information science (LIS) is sometimes used. The organization of knowledge for efficient retrieval of relevant information is also a major research goal of LIS. Basic topics in LIS include the acquisition, cataloging, classification, and preservation of library materials. In a more present-day view, a fervent outgrowth of LIS is information architecture. LIS should not be confused with information theory, the mathematical study of the concept of information, or information science, a field related to computer science and cognitive science.
