What's library science?

The study of the Dewey Decimal System.

The University of Illinois Champaign is well known for its quality Library and Information Science program. I'm participating in their online program known as LEEP; students from all over the country can take classes together. I am enjoying the experience; before this, I've never taken online classes.

Can you explain library science to me?

[bestworkothlo]

I never liked the few online courses I tried, it was too much like PBEM.

Wiki is your friend, Asher.

Information technology, archiving, information organization, management, collection development, cataloging, budgeting, and many other areas are studied, with application of practical methods/approaches to these different areas of librarianship. Adding the word "science" to things that are not "science" could not be any more annoying. Decent schools like Harvard realized this and changed their "political science" departments to "government" departments.

"Library science" takes humanity back about 200 years

Have they taught you the Library Scientific Method yet?

I can't remember the last time I went to a library. Really.

Aren't they obsolete?

Libraries are run by complete idiots. It is no wonder they have taken to calling themselves scientists to hide this fact. Even finding books is a nightmare. God willing in a few years all books will be digitized and librarians will find new work as "sanitation engineers" or Domino's "pizza delivery experts."
