R. Ranganathan in 1931, detailing the principles of operating a library system. Many librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of their philosophy. These laws are: 1. Books are for use. 2. Every reader his [or her] book. 3. Every book its reader. 4. Save the time of the reader. 5. The library is a growing organism.
Fifth Law: The library is a growing Organism This law focused more on the need for internal change than on changes in the environment itself. Dr. Ranganathan argued that library organizations must accommodate growth in staff, the physical collection, and patron use. This involved allowing for growth in the physical building, reading areas, shelving, and online catalog. Fifth law of library science The library is a growing organism. This means that a library is always changing. The books need to be updated over time, new books should be bought and old books replaced. Now we have more than 300 students, more than 15 faculties, 10-15 staffs and more than 5000 books. New Concept of Laws of Library Science 1. Web resources are for use. 2.
