Abstract
This chapter describes the emergence of the differentiation between traditional librarianship with its focus on collections, which has become incorporated into today’s library discovery systems, and information science with its focus on retrieval, which has become incorporated into algorithms and ontologies for today’s global Internet, which together comprise the contemporary discipline of library and information science.
