Study Notes
Overview of Library Information Science (LIS)
- LIS combines elements from both library science and information science.
- Encompasses disciplines such as Information Management, Archival Science, Digital Libraries, Knowledge Organization, Information Retrieval, and User Experience.
Transaction Processing Systems (TPS)
- TPS handles routine business transactions, including sales, receipts, payroll, cash deposits, and reservations.
- Processes large data volumes essential for daily operations.
- Examples of TPS applications include payroll systems and inventory management.
Management Information Systems (MIS)
- MIS aids managers in decision-making using internal information like sales reports and production schedules.
- Supports structured decision-making processes at various management levels.
Functions of Information Systems
- Collect, process, store, and deliver information necessary for business tasks.
- Executed on computing devices, focusing on efficiency.
- Functions include data summarization, sorting, and merging.
Types of Information Systems
- TPS: Handles daily transactions at the operational level.
- Office Automation Systems (OAS) and Knowledge Work Systems (KWS): Support office tasks and knowledge management.
- DSS (Decision Support System): Facilitates complex decision-making using analytical tools and large data sets.
- Executive Support Systems (ESS): Designed for senior executives to support strategic decisions.
Decision Support Systems (DSS)
- Analyzes large amounts of data to aid in decision-making.
- Functions include data modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and providing analytical tools.
Group Decision Support Systems (GDSS) and Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW)
- GDSS enhances group decision-making through tools for brainstorming, voting, and prioritizing.
- CSCW enables information sharing and collaborative decision-making within teams.
Specific Information System Examples
- Sales management systems, inventory control systems, budgeting systems, management reporting systems, and human resource management systems.
- Financial Planning systems support budgeting and investment analysis.
