- "Information science is primarily concerned with analysis, collection, classification, manipulation, storage, retrieval, movement, dissemination, and protection of information."
- "Practitioners within and outside the field study the application and the usage of knowledge in organizations."
- "The aim is to create, replace, improve, or understand the information systems."
- "Historically, information science (informatics) is associated with computer science, data science, psychology, technology, library science, healthcare, and intelligence agencies."
- "Information science also incorporates aspects of diverse fields such as archival science, cognitive science, commerce, law, linguistics, museology, management, mathematics, philosophy, public policy, and social sciences."
