by vinod mishra 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Dear All After working on open source software since 5/6 year and implementation of the same at NIT Rourkela and various library, i would like to suggest use open source solution with in-house staff only if? 1. If you have dedicated library professional who are willing to give their personal time to library after office hour i.e. who works for library at home too. 2. If Library managers personally willing to give time to library and company to team at-least. 3. If staff are active member/always following open source email groups/social site groups and various discussion forums. 4. If you bother about value of money/public money. 5. If you have capability to take risk/challenge as good administrator. 6. If you have passion to do something new and extra ordinary. 7. If you are ready to spent many sleepless nights during implementation. 8. If your main technical person have primary objective to give priority to project rather than their own priority so he/she can't left project in middle. 9. If you are willing to work as per international standards. 10. If you want to get better recognition among subject fraternity and may be many IF? Hence, you may check above before taking decision else lot of commercial vendors are available to make you fool ?

Five Laws of Library Science
by Salman Haider 18 Sep '17

Five Laws of Library Science <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/09/five-laws-of-library-scie…> https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/09/five-laws-of-library-scie… *FIVE LAWS OF LIBRARY SCIENCE* - The Five laws of library science is a theory proposed by S. R. Ranganathan in 1931, detailing the principles of operating a library system. Five laws of library science are called the set of norms, percepts, and guides to good practice in librarianship. Many librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of their philosophy. Dr. S.R. Ranganathan conceived the Five Laws of Library Science in 1924. The statements embodying these laws were formulated in 1928. These laws were first published in Ranganathan's classic book entitled Five Laws of Library Science in 1931. These laws are: *1. Books are for use.* *2. Every reader his / her book.* *3. Every book its reader.* *4. Save the time of the reader.* *5. The library is a growing organism.* These laws of Library Science are the "fundamental laws" of Library Science. These are applicable to any problem in the areas of library science, library service, and library practice. These laws are like pot containing oceans. Prior to their enunciation, the subject of Library Science had no philosophy. These laws gave a philosophical base, guaranteeing an everlasting future to the subject of library science, the profession of librarianship, and the use of libraries. These laws have provided a scientific approach to the subject of library science. *CONTENTS * *First Law: Books Are For Use* Implications of First Law 1. Open Access 2. Location 3. Library Hours 4. Library Building and Furniture 5. Book Selection Policy 6. Library Techniques 7. Publicity 8. Library Staff 9. Reference Service *Second Law: Every Reader His/Her Book* Implications of Second Law 1. Obligations of the State 2. Obligation of the Library Authority 3. Obligation of Library Staff 4. Obligation of the Reader *Third Law: Every Book Its Reader* Implications of Third Law 1. Open Access 2. Book Selection 3. Shelf Arrangement 4. Easy Accessibility 5. Cataloging 6. Reference Service 7. Publicity 8. Extension Service *Fourth Law: Save The Time Of The Reader* Implications of Fourth Law 1. Open Access 2. Location 3. Shelf Arrangement, Classification, and Cataloging 4. Stack-Room Guides 5. Issue and Return 6. Reference Service 7. Documentation Service 8. Library Staff *Fifth Law: The Library Is A Growing Organism* Implications 1. Balanced Growth 2. Casting Off the Old (Obsolete) and Preserving Valuable Books 3. Choice of a Classification Scheme 4. Choice of a Catalog Code 5. Modernization 6. Staff 7. Library Building - Provision for Future 8. Safeguards *Five Laws of Library Science - S.R. Ranganathan (Digitized Book)* *Variant of Five Laws of Library Science* *Five Laws of Library Science Infographic* READ FULL MULTIMEDIA ARTICLE FROM SOURCE: *Five Laws of Library Science* <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/09/five-laws-of-library-scie…> *Salman Haider* Librarian -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
