Ranganathan in the 21st Century Anne Welsh, Lecturer in Library and Information Studies

The book has evolved ...

... and so has the library ...

... our principles remain

1. Books are for use

Digitization

Aggregation http://www.wdl.org http://www.europeana.eu

2. Every reader his book

Feed Me! Librarians use social media feeds to keep up-to-date with publications of interest to their patrons, repurpose and pass them on.

3. Every book its reader

OPAC

OPAC 2.0

4. Save the time of the reader

5. The library is a growing organism
