The object of study of librarianship is derived from the business of libraries. It is the study of the occurrence and development of libraries, organization and management, as well as the science of the laws of library work.

① Intelligence research is the object of scientific information.

② Intelligence research on scientific information generation, connotation, characterization, dissemination, circulation and other characteristics and laws of their own, as well as effective processing, dissemination and utilization of scientific information technology and means.
