Ranganathan in the 21st CenturyAnne Welsh, Lecturer in Library and Information Studies

The book has evolved ...

... and so has the library ...

... our principles remain

1. Books are for use

Digitization

Aggregation

2. Every reader his book

Librarians use

social media feeds

to keep up-to-date

with publications of

interest to their

patrons, repurpose

and pass them on.

Feed Me!

3.

Every

book

its

reader

OPAC

OPAC 2.0

4. Save the time of the reader

5. The library is a growing organism
