In my opinion, information must "exist" in some real sense, or people's claims to study it scientifically would be meaningless. The study of a specific subset of information - namely, recorded knowledge - in its generation, dissemination, categorization, organization, and societal use, is the special province of LIS. Librarians and other information professionals seek to understand how that process works, and how to help people get the best use out of it. By whatever term we choose to describe it, LIS can be seen as a set of theories, techniques, standards, and practices directed to the understanding of the process of knowledge transfer, and its facilitation and fostering through professional practice.
