library and information science

Library and Information Science (LIS) is a fascinating field that combines historical traditions with modern technological advancements. It's not just about books anymore; it's about all forms of information.

Information isn't just data; it's data that has meaning and context. It reduces uncertainty and helps us make decisions. In LIS, we're concerned with how information is organized, preserved, and made available to users. Think about a library catalog: it takes raw data about books (title, author, publisher) and turns it into organized information that helps you find what you need.
