Ranganathan’s 5 Laws of Library Science

Topically speaking…
• Ranganathan’s Fifth Law: The Library is a growing organism
• Science & Collections are both global resources
• STEM, STEAM, and STM

“To be clear, science is not a political construct or a belief system.
It provides testable, fundamental knowledge of the world and how
things work. Science alone cannot provide policy solutions to the
many challenges that society faces, but scientifically informed
perspectives must be taken into account for decisions to be made
by the best available evidence. The serve the public interest,
information should be rigorously evaluated and held to the highest
possible standard, a process that the practice and products of
science help to accomplish. For policies to be successful, we must
first understand the current state of knowledge so that policy-
makers can design policy interventions that will be effective.” She
continues, “Similarly, economic prosperity and innovation in the
United States depend on a healthy research and development
enterprise that enables scientific thought to flourish.”

“Bad libraries build
collections, good
libraries build services,
great libraries build
communities.” Lankes, R. David (2012). From a tweet, June 11.

More from Lankes…
“Good libraries focus on users. That is they evaluate the utility of the collection in relation to user needs. What do people want and need in terms of the collection, and how does that balance with all the other things the library does (reference, programming, digital resources, instruction, etc.). Here not only do we look at user data such as circulation and such, but the whole user experience.” Lankes, R. David (2016). The New Librarianship Field Guide. MIT Press.

Two Roads to Open Access
The Gold Road publish in an open access journal
but you don’t have to, instead you can
The Green Road archive a legal copy of your article in a
digital repository

Seeking Transparency
“I am deeply concerned about the potential quantification of scholarly impact. This is a terrible, and morally bankrupt, idea…I think it’s essential that any metrics that receive broad adoption be fully transparent and reproducible.” – Clifford Lynch

More from Clifford Lynch
• “…develop appropriate new genres of scholarly communication for the digital environment.” Librarians he says can help, but libraries must “recognize the emergence of these genres in a timely manner and respond by collecting, organizing, curating and preserving them.”
