Information Science

Definition of Information Science as it relates to Science, Computer Science, Computer Systems

Information Science concerns the study, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information in all its forms, from digital to print media. It encompasses both theoretical and practical approaches to understanding how information functions within various contexts, including computer systems. Drawing on elements from mathematics, statistics, logic, linguistics, psychology, and organization theory, it seeks to develop models of information behavior, design databases, optimize retrieval processes, understand the impact of technology on society, and ensure effective communication between humans and machines. It is intricately linked with computer systems in terms of their design, use, management, and evaluation, but extends beyond computers to encompass broader aspects of information management and utilization across various domains such as libraries, archives, museums, and businesses.
