Library & Information Science (LIS) is the field that studies the organization, retrieval, and dissemination of information. It encompasses the management of libraries, archives, and information centers, as well as the development of information systems and technologies.

LIS professionals play a crucial role in connecting people with the information they need. They organize and classify information, develop search tools, and provide reference services. They also design and manage library facilities and collections.

The field of LIS has evolved significantly with the advent of digital technologies. Libraries have transitioned from physical spaces to online platforms, offering a vast array of digital resources and services. LIS professionals now need to be proficient in information technology and data management.

LIS graduates find employment in various sectors, including libraries, archives, museums, government agencies, corporations, and educational institutions. They contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage, facilitate research, and support lifelong learning.
