Introduction

Information Science is a wide term which most learners don't understand.

“Information science is the science and practice dealing with the effective collection, storage, retrieval, and use of information. It is concerned with recordable information and knowledge, and the technologies and related services that facilitate their management and use.

We can therefore conclude that information science is a field of study concerned about storage of information, management of information and technologies involved. It can therefore be applicable in any industry.
