A '''library and information scientist''', also known as a '''library scholar''', is a researcher or academic who specializes in the field of [[library and information science]] and often participates in [[Academic writing|scholarly writing]] about and related to library and information science. A library and information scientist is neither limited to any one subfield of library and information science nor any one particular type of library. These scientists come from all information-related sectors including library and book history.
