The term library and information science (LIS); most librarians consider it as only a terminological variation, intended to emphasize the scientific and technical foundations of the subject and its relationship with information science. Knowledge is often costly to create, and that is why much of it is created in industrial countries. The availability of information and facilities to store and exploit it, give a country, technological, political, and more socio-economic benefit to a country. It has also a fundamental value of enriching a country to provide a high quality of social life to its people. LIS should not be confused with information theory, as it is the mathematical study of the concept of information. LIS can also be seen as an integration of two field's library science and information science. A document management system (DMS) is a computer system (or set of computer programs) used to track and store electronic documents and/or images of paper documents. The term has some overlap with the concepts of content management systems. It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems and records management systems. Document management systems commonly provide storage, versioning, metadata, security, as well as indexing and retrieval capabilities.
