Library Science, now often referred to as Library and Information Science (LIS), is an interdisciplinary field that applies the practices, perspectives, and tools of management, information technology, education, and other domains to libraries. It focuses on collecting, organizing, preserving, and disseminating information and knowledge resources. In an increasingly digital world, LIS professionals ensure access to vast amounts of information, both physical and digital. For instance, a librarian at the National Library of India ensures historical texts are preserved and accessible to researchers, while a digital librarian at a corporate firm might manage vast databases of market research, ensuring employees can quickly find relevant data for decision-making.
