LIBRARY SCIENCE


Library science (often termed library studiesbibliothecographylibrary economy) is an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary field that applies the practices, perspectives, and tools of managementinformation technologyeducation, and other areas to libraries; the collection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information resources; and the political economy of information. Martin Schrettinger, a Bavarian librarian, coined the discipline within his work (1808–1828) Versuch eines vollständigen Lehrbuchs der Bibliothek-Wissenschaft oder Anleitung zur vollkommenen Geschäftsführung eines Bibliothekars. Rather than classifying information based on nature-oriented elements, as was previously done in his Bavarian library, Schrettinger organized books in alphabetical order.The first American school for library science was founded by Melvil Dewey at Columbia Universityin 1887.
