Five Laws of Library Science
In the context of library science Dr. S. R. Ranganathan conceived the five laws of library science in 1924. The statement embodying these laws were formulated i.e. the laws took the final form in 1928 and a detailed account of these laws and their implication were published in the form of a book in 1931 by Bombay Asia Publishing House. Most librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of their philosophy. The five laws of library science are: a) Books are for use. b) Every reader his / her book (i.e. books are for all). c) Every book its reader (i.e. every book in a library must find its reader) d) Save the time of the reader (i.e. a user is supposed to be a busy person. So his / her time must be saved). Corollary: Save the time of the staff. e) Library is a growing organism (A library always grows in terms of document i.e. book, reader or user and staff).
