Dr. Ranganathan’s Five Laws

Earlier this week, I mentioned Rangantathan’s Five Laws of Library Science. Today, I am going to post these five laws, let you gnaw on them, and let me know what you think about them - their overall accuracy, and their validity in a digital age. I want to hear from you all in the comments!

1. Books are for use.
2. For every reader, his or her book.
3. For every book, its reader.
4. Save the time of the reader.
5. A library is a growing organism.

- Jason Dean
