The Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS) has given permission to dLIST to digitize Dr.SRR's books and make them accessible to users. The first book taken up is the Five Laws of Library Science. After preliminary tests, other books will be taken up. Kindly note that the contacts with and permission given to dLIST (Prof. Anita Coleman) precedes the meeting of Dr.Raghavan, Dr. Prasad, Prof Arunachalam at Mr. Satyanarayana's daughters wedding date. Perhaps you are aware that Anita Coleman of the Univ. of Arizona, who initiated the Dr SRR project was a student of Dr. Raghavan and that was connection as to how it all started. The other project is a joint effort of SRELS and the ISI Library, Bangalore. (Dr. Krishnamurthy). Best regards Sincerely A.

People working in non-LIS areas will also discover by "googling" that ideas on which they are working now were already in the minds of Dr. Ranganathan. {truncated]
