Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science form the philosophical foundation for librarianship, documentation, and information services, enunciated in 1928, guiding all library activities, policies, and innovations.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Objectives (2.0)

Ranganathan’s Five Laws serve as norms, precepts, and guides for good practices in librarianship, extending to documentation and information systems/services. Learners will explain library/documentation/information activities aligned with these laws and use them as logical principles for initiating new activities.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Introduction (2.1)

Five Laws enunciated in 1928 by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, Librarian of University of Madras, first presented at Provincial Educational Conference, Chidambaram, December 1928. Post-1924 education at University of London School of Librarianship and observations of English libraries, Ranganathan sought generalizable principles for efficient library organization, management, operation, and universal service. These principles embed latent practices for future emergence.
The Five Laws:

  • Books are for use
  • Every reader his/her book
  • Every book its reader
  • Save the time of the reader
  • The library is a growing organism

Every library service/activity derives rationale from one/all laws; they test completeness of library work. They form philosophical basis for all library programs/services, valid for modern information systems (books=knowledge/information; readers=users). Carriers/channels evolved from print to other forms, but service philosophy unchanged.
Restated Laws (modern context):

  • Documents/information are for use
  • Every user his/her document/information
  • Every document/information its user
  • Save the time of the user
  • Documentation/information system is a growing organism.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

First Law “Books are for Use” (2.2)

Not self-evident historically; medieval monastic libraries chained books for preservation over use (pre-printing era scarcity). Practice persisted post-printing invention. Today, books available without hindrance; all policies maximize use.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications of the First Law (2.2.1)

  • Location: Central, convenient, noise-free for serious study. Public library: quiet central area; school/college: prominent; university: “heart” reflected geographically—easy accessibility.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Library Hours: Convenient to users; many Indian school/college/public libraries open when users unavailable.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Library Building and Furniture: Functional + aesthetic; racks not too high; children’s furniture specially designed/attractive/comfortable to encourage visits.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Staff: Qualified for efficient organization/services; courteous, cheerful, helpful (“service with a smile“); everything serves readers. Unhelpful staff deters users permanently; staff credibility (knowledge/attitude) crucial for book use.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Second Law “Every Reader His/Her Book” (2.3)

Variant: “Books for All”—mandatory service per need, universalizing/democratizing library service. Pre-democracy: privileged access only; democracy requires educated citizenry, making knowledge access basic right.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications of the Second Law (2.3.1)

Obligations: state, library authority, staff, reader.

  • Obligation of the State: Develop/maintain library system via legislation (finance/coordination); set goals maximizing service output from limited funds. Public library system primary, but state responsible for school/college/university/special libraries (marginal public role for students/teachers/researchers).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Obligation of the Library Authority:
    • Choice of Books: Judicious selection via user surveys (Unit 12); formulate policy per clientele needs; buying unwanted over demanded violates law.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
    • Choice of Staff: Adequate/competent team essential; helps exploit relevant resources; inadequate staff prevents service.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Obligations of the Staff: Reference service to understand needs/provide comprehensive info (beyond demanded books); library catalogue with profuse analytical/cross-references for chapters/pages; help locate micro-documents (periodical articles) via bibliographies/indexing/abstracting amid scattered literature.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Obligations of the Reader: Follow loan/use rules; avoid over-retention, misplacement, mutilation, theft (violates others’ access); user education programs essential.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Resource Sharing (2.3.2)

No library self-sufficient (even Library of Congress, Washington; Lenin State Library, Moscow); share resources locally/state/regionally/nationally/internationally via national/international agencies—key to fulfilling Second Law.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Third Law “Every Book Its Reader” (2.4)

Book-focused: every book finds appropriate reader/use; unused books = dead investment/waste.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Open Access (2.4.1)

Open access: Classified shelf arrangement + reader freedom; browsing discovers unknown interests. Staff: maintain classification, shelf rectification, guides (shelf/bay). Readers: no reshelving (misplacement risk), avoid mutilation/theft/hiding. Advantages (browsing related fields) outweigh disadvantages (misplacement/unsocial acts, controllable but not eliminable).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Services (2.4.2)

  • Lists of New Additions: Regular compilation/distribution.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Display of New Books: Prominent display.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • Book Exhibition: Periodic/topical/unused books to attract readers.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – The Library Catalogue (2.4.3)

Well-designed catalogue + added entries + reference service (like Second Law).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Fourth Law “Save the Time of the Reader” (2.5)

Busy readers need exact/fast service; time waste deters visits; momentary interests vanish if delayed.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Open Access (2.5.1)

Advocates open access vs. closed (requisition/trial-error wastes objective (actual) + subjective (felt) time). Open: reader handles books unconsciously; proper arrangement saves both.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Classification and Cataloguing (2.5.2)

Proper classification (related subjects together), reader-approach catalogue, reference service, stack guides; speedy acquisition.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Charging System (2.5.3)

Avoid register entry (time-consuming); modern: ticket/photo/computerised systems reduce issue/return time.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Fifth Law “Library is a Growing Organism” (2.6)

“Organism” (not organisation)—living entity: child growth (fast/physical/visible); adult growth (internal/qualitative/cell replacement). Library dynamic, not static; plan from start. Components: book stock, staff, readers, physical infrastructure (building/furniture/equipment)—all grow.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Book Stock (2.6.1)

Initial fast growth impacts stack/catalogue rooms/racks; interpolation causes shelf movement/relabelling; update stack guides.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Readers (2.6.2)

Grow per First Law; need more space.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Staff (2.6.3)

Quantitative/qualitative increase for new/diversified services (intensified reference, tech-backed info), admin growth.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Classification and the Catalogue (2.6.4)

Hospitable classification (no shared numbers for differing depths); interpolatable catalogue (e.g., card).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Modernisation (2.6.5)

Large/growing libraries: computerise housekeeping (acquisition/circulation/cataloguing).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Provision for the Future (2.6.6)

Building plans: horizontal/vertical expansion space.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Implications – Weeding out of Books (2.6.7)

Adult-like: remove obsolete/unwanted for relevant; self-renewing library (weeded = added post-maturity, rate slows); weeding ≠ discarding (store centrally for occasional use/cooperation).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

A Wider Interpretation of the Five Laws (2.7)

Fundamental/farsighted for changing society (Unit 1.10); last 50 years: Information Technology enables instant access/download regardless of location/bulk/variety; use/service problems persist (parameters changed).
Restated Laws fit:

  • 1st: Info as resource-transformer for national development (harness/exploit/utilise).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • 2nd: Exact needs, non-discriminatory, user-centered (optimum recall/precision).Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • 3rd: Focus generated info on users (“right info to right user”); full transfer chain; marketing/use professional.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • 4th (+ corollary: save staff time): Speed/effectiveness via IT.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
  • 5th: Systems-approach, self-adapting for dynamic needs; multi-directional info growth matches institutions.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​

Summary (2.8)

Laws as mainsprings/philosophy of librarianship; rationale for all activities; alert to innovations; yardstick for validity; infinite innovativeness. Reinterpreted for info context/national development/information society.Block-1-BLIS-01-Unit-2.pdf​
