Information Studies is a diverse, fascinating and expanding field. As the information sector tsof society evolves, so will the use of technological systems to acquire, store, organize, and deliver information. How do human beings fit into this new world?
The field of Information Studies is recognized as the leader in addressing the information needs of human beings. Information professionals are engaged in helping people locate and obtain information they need for decision-making at work and at home. The information professional's critical function is to fit information systems to human needs, rather than requiring the human needs to be adapted to information systems.
