​​​A SharePoint Site Collection is composed of Lists and Libraries that contain information.

A List has one or more fields, or columns, such as "Title", "Date", etc. It has one or more records, or rows. Each record has information for each of the fields. Lists can be sorted and filtered by using a View.

A Library allows users to upload files, such as Word Documents, Excel Spreadsheets, PDF files, etc. A Library also contains fields which as used as meta-data to describe the file. Libraries can also be sorted and filtered by using a View.

Every List and Library has a predefined Web Part that can be added to a SharePoint page and set to a specific View (see Links example below).
