Információtudományhoz, commonly translated as Information Science, is an interdisciplinary field that studies the collection, classification, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information. It explores the nature of information itself, how humans interact with it, and the technologies that facilitate its management. The field draws upon and contributes to areas such as computer science, library science, cognitive science, sociology, and linguistics.

The core concerns of Information Science include developing systems and tools for organizing and accessing information, understanding user needs and behaviors in information seeking, and analyzing the social and ethical implications of information technologies. It examines how information is created, transformed, and used within various contexts, from academic research to everyday life. Key research areas include information architecture, human-computer interaction, data science, digital libraries, and the study of misinformation and disinformation.

Information Science aims to improve the accessibility, usability, and impact of information for individuals and society. It plays a crucial role in developing effective information systems, promoting information literacy, and addressing challenges related to the ever-increasing volume and complexity of digital information. Professionals in this field often work in libraries, archives, museums, technology companies, research institutions, and government agencies.
