Dear Sir/Madam, The report “Reordering Ranganathan: Shifting user behaviours, shifting priorities” brought out by OCLC is very interesting to read. The authors of the report have done extensive research to show us why Ranganthan’s classic work “Five Laws of Library Science” is very much relevant for libraries to thrive and success in meeting user’s needs in today’s technological driven information society. This report is also an eye opener for Indian LIS research community to look for inspiration and ventured into philosophical underpinnings of LIS domain. We must acknowledge OCLC for revisiting Ranganthan for showing the way for libraries to success in the 21st century. We Indian should have been at the forefront in revisiting Ranganathan’s works to inspire LIS community. But Indian LIS research community for no good reason has not been seen or taken up research seriously on Ranganathan’s works. It is worth mentioning that, it was Pauline Atherton Cochrane an American who revisited Ranganthan’s Five laws in 1970’s (see Putting Knowledge to Work: An American View of Ranganthan’s Five Laws of Library Science). Kathryn La Barre of University of Illinois has done a Ph.D., on Ranganthan’s Faceted Analysis and its application in organizing website or classifying web documents (see The Use of Faceted Analytico-Synthetic Theory in the Practice of Website Construction and Design). Now it is OCLC which is brought out a very significant report on Ranganthan’s Five Laws. It is a proud movement for Indian LIS community that S.R. Ranganathan even today is a revered figure in world LIS community. We must also ponder that why we Indian LIS community is not seen Ranganathan’s contribution very seriously as much as western LIS community is considering him for reviving or inspiring library community to chart out future course of action? Very much thankful for Sri N.V. Sathyanarayana of Informetics India Limited to brought this important report to the notice of Indian LIS community. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.
