S.R. Ranganathan, considered by librarians all over the world to be the father of
modern library science, proposed five laws of library science in the early 1930s.
Most librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of the philosophy of their
work and service in the library. These laws are: Books are for use, Every reader his
or her book, Every book its reader, Save the time of the reader, and The library is
a growing organism. The Five Laws of Library Science are some of the most influential
concepts in the field. Since they were published in 1931, these five laws "have remained
a centerpiece of professional values ..." (Rubin 2004). These basic theories of Library
Science continue to directly impact the development of this discipline and the service
of all libraries. [From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia]. The book has been reprinted
over twenty-five times to meet the demand from libraries, students of library and
information science and information professionals. In 2006 when DLIST (University
of Arizona) placed a test version of the contents page and first chapter of the first
edition of the book on the Internet, there were some 640 downloads in twenty-four
hours. The "five laws" are equally valid in the present digital / information age
as they have been in the conventional library environment. - Publisher
