Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science -- Reinterpreted

Connaway and Faniel have attempted to reframe Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science from being centered on books and information scarcity, to addressing the age of the Internet and information plenty. Ranganathan's five guiding principals were:

  1. Save the time of the reader.
  2. Every person their own book.
  3. Books are for use.
  4. Every book its reader.
  5. A library is a growing organism.
