The common ground between LS and IS,which is a strong one,is in the sharing of their social role and in their general concern with the problems of effective utilization of human graphic records.But there are also very significant differences in several critical respects,among them in (1) Selection of problems addressed and in the way they were defined;(2) theoretical questions asked and frame works established; (3) tools and approaches used;(4)the nature and strenth of interdisciplinary relations established and the dependence of the progress and evolution on interdisciplinary approaches.All of these differences warrant the conclusion that Librarianship and Information Science are two different fields in a strong interdisciplinary relation,rather than one and the same field, or one being a special case of another

Bates(2007)using the term LIS  to describe not only Librarianship and Information Science,but also she calls  "a spectrum of related information  disciplines"
