What is information science?
Information science is an interdisciplinary science primarily concerned with the collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval and dissemination of information. It studies, among other subjects, the application and usage of knowledge in organizations, and the interaction between people, organizations and information systems. It is often, though not exclusively, studied as a branch of computer science or informatics and is closely related to the cognitive and social sciences. It is also studied at the light of interpersonal communication and media. Information Science focuses on understanding problems and then applying information (and other) technology as needed. Some of the fields targeted by Information Science are: human-computer interaction, groupware, the semantic web, value sensitive design, iteractive design processes and the ways people generate, use and find information. Information Science should not be confused with information theory, the study of a particular mathematical concept of information. ==Relation with Informatics== Much of what is called "Informatics" today was once called "Information Science" at least in fields such as Medical Informatics. However when library scientists began to adopt also the phrase "Information Science" to refer to their work, the term informatics emerged in the United States as a response by computer scientists to distinguish their work from that of library science. In the UK, Informatics is a term for the science of information that studies natural, as well as artificial or engineered, information-processing systems. ==Other similar nomenclatures== Library scientists use sometimes the term 'Information Science' to refer to their work Computer science is sometimes called by some authors (erroneously) 'Information Science'.
