    This research answers two research questions: (1) The realistic relationship among the three majors of library science, information science, and archival science at home and abroad; (2) The development prospects of the three majors of library science, information science, and archival science in 2029. After questionnaire surveys and network surveys, the paper classifies the relationships among library science, information science, and archival science at home and abroad into five: library science as leader, information science as leader, archival science as leader, library science and information science as leaders, the balanced manner. In the development of disciplines in mainland China, the leading types of archival science are more abundant than in foreign countries. Through ethnographic future interview research, the paper summarizes the unique missions, research objects, and stereotypes of the three majors proposed by 54 young scholars; the discourse power of three majors where the young scholars come from ranks as information science first, library science second, and archival science as the third. The paper summarizes the most optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely scenarios of the three majors' basic survival status, development scale, and trend of technology integration, society serving ways, scientific research and education, and talent cultivation in 2029. Personal literacy, discipline development, basic theory and knowledge innovation, research skills and methods, and integration of theory with practice are classified from the actions that respondents will have to make to achieve the most likely prospects in 2029. This paper further combs the relationships of the three subjects of library science, information science and archival science in 2029, including six types of relations, nine first-level discipline names (if still under a first-level discipline), and two types of separation (if scattered across different first-level disciplines).

    At present, the development of the library, information and archives management is entering a new bottleneck period. There are not only disagreements within the disciplines, but also fierce competition from other disciplines. It is facing problems such as relatively low disciplinary influence, unclear name and orientation, and weak sense of identity within disciplines. Therefore this paper combines the marketization trends of current higher education institutions, and believes that it is necessary for the library, information and archives management to further define the discipline orientation, explore the advantages and values of the disciplines, enhance the visibility and attractiveness of the disciplines, and strengthen the sense of identity and cohesion within the discipline through brand building. We hope that this study can provide a reference for the further development of the library, information and archives management.

    A content analysis was conducted to identify the library theory of high frequency use in the past decade. We coded 15 research themes used in library theory, and classified these topics from high to low frequency use and growth through time series analysis. Five ways of the usage of theory were proposed. The content analysis of 1703 articles shows that: (1) The basic theory of library science is insufficiently explored, and new research themes such as digital humanities, big data application, academic social network and information literacy have emerged. Theoretical foundation should be constantly consolidated, and new discipline growth points should be explored. (2) The use of theory has the largest proportion of theory placement, and theory generation accounts for the smallest proportion. It is necessary to encourage theory innovation to promote the sustainable development of library science.
