DICTIONARY OF TERMS IN LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SCIENCE

Author: Dr. Savita Mittal , Mohammad Nasir

Library and information science is, as the name implies, a combination of two fields: (i) library science; and (ii) information science. The joint term is associated with schools of library and information science (SLIS). The first use of this combined term was in the School of Library Science at the University of Pittsburgh, which added information science to its name in 1964. Thereafter followed other American library schools, and by the 1990s almost all former library schools had added information science to their names. A similar development has taken place in many other parts of the world.
