The study and application of methods for efficiently gathering, filing away, retrieving, and utilizing data are known as "information science." It focuses on information and knowledge that can be captured in some way, as well as the tools and services that make them usable. Information science is the study and application of methods to ensure that people can find and use the data they need to make decisions about their personal, professional, and civic lives. Information science is concerned with the dissemination of recorded human knowledge, with an emphasis on information manipulation (representation, organization, and retrieval) rather than knowledge itself. If you're trying to solve a problem involving information, chances are good that information science has already gathered and applied the relevant theories, principles, techniques, and technologies from other fields. Computer science, cognitive science, psychology, mathematics, logic, information theory, electronics, communications, linguistics, economics, classification science, systems science, library science, and management science are just some of the fields that have been merged to form what is now known as information science. They address issues related to the creation, structuring, representation, processing, dissemination, and consumption of data and knowledge.
