Present paper explores the integration of Library Information Sciences (LIS) into the domain of Sports Sciences to enhance research methodologies and promote data literacy. With the growing complexity and volume of sports-related data, there is a critical need for effective information management and research skills among sports professionals and academics. By leveraging the principles of LIS, this study aims to bridge the gap between data generation and its meaningful application in sports contexts. We examine the role of LIS in organizing, accessing, and utilizing sports data, as well as its impact on research quality, data interpretation and decision-making processes. Through case studies and a review of best practices, this research highlights the potential of LIS to foster a culture of evidence-based practice in Sports Sciences, ultimately contributing to more informed and effective sports strategies. The findings suggest that a multidisciplinary approach, combining LIS with sports expertise, can significantly enhance the research capabilities and data literacy of sports scientists, coaches and athletes.
