The purpose of this paper was to reflect on interdisciplinary issues to promote the understanding of the main issues involved in this process. For this purpose, we first discuss the different interpretations that seek to explain the foundations of Information Science from a theoretical, disciplinary perspective to better understand its constitutive nature. Then, from an interpretative approach of theoretical Information Science, we seek to highlight the elements that characterize it as an interdisciplinary discipline, emphasizing its relations with Library Science. We also endeavor to identify interdisciplinary connections between the two fields through the analysis of interpretations expressed by main the theorists in Information Science. We also endeavor to identify interdisciplinary connections between the two fields through the analysis of interpretations expressed by main the theorists in Information Science. We conclude that Library Science and Information Science have common features: they facilitate access to information and researchers can develop interdisciplinary practice through this common bond.
