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
