The Five Laws of Library Science (book)

*The Five Laws of Library Science* by S.R. Ranganathan outlines core principles for effective library management and information organization. They are: 1) Books are for use—library materials should be accessible and actively utilized. 2) Every reader their book—each individual needs tailored access to information. 3) Every book its reader—every resource should find its appropriate user. 4) Save the time of the reader—organize systems for quick, easy access. 5) The library is a growing organism—collections and services evolve with user needs. These laws emphasize user-centered service, efficient access, and adaptable systems in information management.
