Library and Information science is the study of issues related to libraries and the information fields. This study includes academic subjects concerning how library and information resources are used and how people interact with library and information systems. It also deals with ideas and methodologies about the relations among management of knowledge, information, and libraries issues.

The Department of Library and Information Science intends to educate students in full coursework that includes basic and upper training issues related to libraries and the information fields. The guidelines of the Department include educational purposes that are academic and practical subjects in information service and information utility.

The Department consists of several branch areas, but the most important goal of this department is offering knowledge for efficient retrieval of relevant information. Basic topics include the acquisition, cataloging, classification, and preservation of library and information materials. In a more present-day view, a fervent outgrowth of LIS is information architecture.

Recently, certain areas of interest in Library and Information Science have extended into computer-based cataloging. Thus, the need of graduates in Library and Information Science is increasing. Graduates can find careers in database cataloging or specialize in archive retrieval. Students also have the option to enter graduate school to further their studies and marketability.
