Abstract:
In 1931, S.R. Ranganathan, an unknown literary scholar and statistician from India, published a curious manifesto: The Five Laws of Library Science. The manifesto, written shortly after Ranganathan's return to India from London—where he learned to despise, among other things, the Dewey decimal system and British bureaucracy—argues for reorganizing Indian libraries. Ranganathan believed that India's libraries, many of which had been established by the British, could promote radically egalitarian ideals if they followed five fundamental laws.

Abstract:
S. R. Ranganathan’s work Five Laws of Library Science published in 1931 shaped library science and has served as a foundation for the profession of librarianship. The five laws of librarianship need to be revised as technology progressed in society. With the rise of digital libraries, however, it is essential to take a second look at these laws and see how they've held up in the face of new technologies. This study tries to explain how the theory is put into practice and to identify areas where it needs to be reformulated for the benefit of libraries. The Five Laws of Library Science by S. R. Ranganathan was reviewed for this research's literature study, and the five rules were combined with the traits of Generation Z to create new laws that are appropriate for this period. The research’s primary conclusions are (1) Information: Emphasize Content Over Container; (2) User Engagement; (3) Quantitative Information Analysis; and (4) Common Learning (Online and Offline).

R. Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science in marketing library and information resources and services. Marketing in librarianship is an act of planning, organizing, dissemination and controlling of information services on a proactive and users’ oriented way that ensures the patron's satisfaction while achieving the objectives of the parent organization. The paper, therefore, emphasized more on the importance of using the laws as a guiding principle to provide adequate service delivery to the users. To achieve maximum utilization of library resources, librarians must improve the way they market their services because marketing is vital to the growth and development of any library irrespective of the parent organization.

Abstract:
Almost all public libraries in Sri Lanka use the Dewey Decimal Classification for classifying their collections. The Dewey Decimal Classification is a classification system that is being revised in line with the expansion in various subject areas. This feature is particularly evident in the classification of original and translated fiction works. The primary objective of this study is to conduct an observational study of the methods used in classifying fiction collections in the grade 1 public libraries of the Western Province. The main point revealed is that although librarians have accepted the need to use the latest edition of the Dewey Classification for the classification of fiction collections, the implementation of the changes has been delayed due to various reasons. It was observed that there are many confusions and errors, especially in the classification of translated literature. Since literature is a field that is diversifying rapidly compared to all other subject areas, this updating is essential. If public libraries do not have this up-to-dateness, it will be a violation of reader rights, a violation of Ranganathan's five laws, and a prevention of opportunities for readers to be exposed to the genre, geographical and linguistic diversity of world literature. It was also observed that the use of color codes in classification is not done with a standard. Therefore, it is recommended that public libraries should immediately abandon the old methods and use the latest edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification in classifying fiction works, and if color codes are used, they should do so in a standardized manner. Also, holding workshops to increase the awareness of public library staff on the classification of fiction works and emphasizing the importance of library staff engaging in self-study to develop their knowledge of world literature will lead to an increase in the quality of the classification of fiction works.

Abstract:
RESUMO O acesso à informação é um direito de todos os cidadãos. Considerando-se a multiplicidade de sujeitos informacionais, entende-se que é necessária uma reflexão acerca da acessibilidade informacional em bibliotecas. Essa reflexão contribui para que pessoas ouvintes, surdas, cegas, autistas, com deficiência física, múltipla, entre outras, possam ter acesso à informação, seja em meio impresso ou virtual. Tendo em vista esse cenário, realizou-se um diálogo das Cinco Leis de Ranganathan no contexto da acessibilidade na Biblioteconomia e na Ciência da Informação no Brasil. A partir desse diálogo, conclui-se que a temática é investigada em muitas linhas de pesquisas em Programas de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação, estão presentes no cotidiano de trabalho do bibliotecário e se inter-relacionam em um movimento cíclico e dinâmico para democratizar a informação. Assim, entende-se que a leis continuam atuais podendo ser contextualizadas na perspectiva da gestão inclusiva para prover melhorias para as bibliotecas, permitindo que o bibliotecário reflita a respeito das suas práticas nesse contexto e que se aproprie da sua responsabilidade social, contribuindo, assim, para a eliminação de barreiras. Compreende-se como indispensável perceber os diferentes tipos de usuários e suas especificidades de acesso à informação e repensar as formas de processar, compartilhar e disseminar a informação.

Abstract:
<em>It can be bibliometrically proved that S R Ranganathan is the greatest thinker in the field of library science that the world has ever produced. The number of original contributions he made in this field, fundamental ideas he gave birth to, and the philosophy he advanced are all unmatched in the world. Years ago Chakraborty and Chakraborty showed that Ranganathan was miles ahead of others in his field. It is rather unfortunate that most of his followers chose to parrot him rather than delving deep into his ideas and philosophy and contribute substantially to remove the shortcomings and extend the horizon of Ranganathan school of thought. If a sincere effort is made today to quantify the extent of contributions made by his followers to his school of thought, the sum total may not be very encouraging.</em>

Implementation of five library laws according to Ranganathan are (1) Library collections must be regularly evaluated. The results of this evaluation can then be used as a reference in weeding activities. It is intended that each book can be used optimally. (2) A series of procurement procurement proseas that include user analysis, selection, selection, and procurement policies must be oriented to user needs. It aims to make every information that users need available in the library. (3) Accuracy in the processing and display management becomes important in information retrieval. It is intended that every book in the library can be accessed. (4) Libraries must provide easy access to users to get information as effectively and efficiently as possible. This is so that users do not waste time looking for collections in the library. (5) Libraries must adapt to the changing environment that is always developing. The development and fulfillment of a stable source of information aims to keep all parts of the library current and reliable.Keywords: S.R.

Abstract The present study contextualizes Ranganathan’s main theoretical contributions to the classification theory and addresses the Five Laws of Library Science. The major milestones in philosophical and bibliographic classifications are presented to show that the classification system has evolved from purely philosophical schemes, which were focused on the systematization of knowledge, into modern bibliographic classification systems. Facet analysis is considered a contribution to the classification process since it allows the use of an approach that encompasses different points of view of the same subject, as opposed to the enumerative systems. This article also discusses Ranganathan’s five fundamental categories, known as Personality, Matter, Energy, Space and Time, and points out to criticism of this form of categorization in the literature. The Spiral of Scientific Method and the Spiral Model of Development of subjects are presented; the latter is the meta-model of the former. The Colon Classification, which was first published in 1933, was also discussed. Finally, the applicability of the faceted classification in today’s world was addressed.

Abstract:
Pre-university education is significant in every student’s life as it shows the career future of every youth. Hence, the pre-university colleges are responsible for providing good qualitative education with knowledge towards present studies and future career life of all students. To impart knowledge to pre-university students and teachers, libraries in pre-university colleges play a significant role. Realizing the importance of the library in colleges, Dr. S.R. Ranganathan has contributed Five Laws of Library Science, ideals and principles, which every pre-university college needs to adopt. In this context, the present study has been made in the Kalyan-Karnataka region to know whether the pre-university college libraries are following standards, principles and guidelines contributed by Dr. Ranganathan. It is found that, the majority of these libraries don’t have their own library building, libraries are not managed by full-time professional librarians, these libraries are operating on a closed access basis, and only a few libraries have classified and cataloged information sources and so on. Hence, it is suggested to the management to look after the problems faced by pre-university libraries and follow the guidelines, principles and ideals of Dr. Ranganathan for students’ overall academic and educational development at the pre-university level.

Discutem-se as “Cinco Leis da Biblioteconomia” ou Cinco Leis de Ranganathan e suas implicações para as bibliotecas, unidades de gestão da informação e ambientes que propiciem a geração e o desenvolvimento de novos conhecimentos. O indiano Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan, ao formular suas Leis, ainda em 1928 – os livros são para usar; a cada leitor seu livro; a cada livro seu leitor; poupe o tempo do leitor; a biblioteca é um organismo em crescimento – preconiza que as bibliotecas existem para suprir as demandas sociais. Sob esta perspectiva, as referidas leis, publicadas, pela primeira vez, em 1931, sob o título “Five Laws of Library Science”, persistem atuais, haja vista que as bibliotecas são sempre instituições sociais. Transcorridos mais de 80 anos, os cinco preceitos resistem ao tempo. Persistem como essenciais para quem consegue visualizar, na Biblioteconomia, chance inigualável de exercer a cidadania e lutar pelo acesso universal, oportunizando aos cidadãos informações compatíveis às suas demandas informacionais. Trata-se de paper de cunho resultante de pesquisa bibliográfica com o objetivo macro de constatar o nível de atualidade e de legitimidade das referidas normas que comprovam ser a sociedade a única meta que justifica a Biblioteconomia como profissão. Isto porque o domínio de fluxo informacional contínuo e inesgotável que caracteriza o século XXI não altera a função social indelével da instituição biblioteca, sobretudo, em se tratando das bibliotecas físicas que sobrevivem como realidade ao lado das bibliotecas eletrônicas digitais e virtuais.

Abstract:
The Nigeria French Language Village Library (NFVL) as a special library due to the uniqueness of its collection and clientele also double as an academic library, existing in an inter-university centre with operation similar to that of libraries in a conventional university system. The focus of this paper is therefore to reveal the use of the NFLV library, its quality and functionality in terms of resources both human and materials. The paper presents the concept of total quality system in a library and the impact of Ranganathan’s five laws of library science in quality service delivery. It also presents brief history of the establishment of the Nigeria French Language Village as “ a child of necessity” because as a result of the down torn in the Nigerian economy in the early 80s the Nigerian currency-the Naira was devalued and parents could no longer finance their wards offering French as a course of study in France and Francophone countries. The Library (Bibliotheque Tunde Fatunde) was also established as a prototype of what obtains in France as its collections were catalogued and classified using the Dewy Decimal Classification (DDC) scheme. It received donation of information resources from organizations in France as well as the French Government. The Nigerian government equally financed the library through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund). The paper reveals that the services provided by the NFLV library are just like every other library of similar status. The paper also discusses the functionality of special libraries for quality control in the library. Some challenges facing special libraries by extension NFLV library in terms of quality, functionality and use were revealed. The paper concluded by reiterating the major aspects of the work and in this research and made necessary recommendations that will enhance better workings in the library.

Abstract:
Purpose The recent COVID-19 pandemic affects all segments of the population in all possible fields of life. To encounter this critical situation and to safeguard the health of the library users &amp; library staff, the library services have been forced to adapt and accept the “new normal” and give a greater use and reliance on virtual space than ever before with physical spaces. This paper aims to demonstrate an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solution that can be practically implemented in the form of a “InfoBot” or “Chatbot” to fulfil user needs 24/7 with minimal or without human intervention. Design/methodology/approach To give a general overview of the use of AI Chatbot in libraries and its multitasking features followed by the practical implementation, a versatile AIchatbot service, Engati is used as a target bot with its basic free plan. Findings The study findings reveal that AI Chatbots offer a dependable solution for the libraries to initiate virtual assistance, thus augmenting the reference service while adding a newer dimension to virtual reference service. Social implications Innovative and intelligent information service would be overcoming the time and location barriers reaffirming the concept of “library without walls” while falling in line with the five laws of library science as propounded by Dr S.R. Ranganathan, the father of library science in India. Originality/value Though the implementation of bots and chatbots is not a purely novel concept to explore, no such research has been conducted focusing particularly on its exceptional benefits in the library in reference to the recent pandemic.

Abstract:
S.R. Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science provide a broad framework for designing and evaluating library programmes, activities and services. The laws continue to be extensively cited even today suggesting their continued relevance. This paper attempts to interpret the five laws in the present day context of information abundance, digital revolution, currently available resources and services, and user behaviours. The idea has been to suggest how libraries and librarians can better connect to those behaviours. After examining the changing roles of the Five Laws on the basis of findings of recent research, the paper suggests reordering and reframing of the Five Laws of Library Science. A number of recommendations for realizing the intent of the laws have also been made.

Purpose This conceptual paper reinterprets S.R. Ranganathan’s five laws of library science in the context of artificial intelligence (AI), examining their continued relevance and adaptability in the digital age. By aligning AI capabilities with these foundational principles, this paper aims to explore how AI can enhance information access, optimize resource management and personalize library services while maintaining the ethical and philosophical core of Library and Information Science (LIS). Design/methodology/approach This study uses a conceptual analysis approach to critically examine AI applications in LIS, including automated cataloging, AI-driven search systems, personalized recommendations and intelligent chatbots. It also addresses ethical considerations such as algorithmic bias, data privacy and equitable access. This paper proposes an AI-enhanced reinterpretation of Ranganathan’s laws, offering a guiding framework for responsible AI adoption in libraries. Findings This study highlights the transformative potential of AI in libraries, demonstrating its ability to improve operational efficiency, user engagement and accessibility. However, it also emphasizes the necessity of aligning AI implementation with ethical principles to prevent biases and ensure inclusivity. By conceptualizing an AI-driven adaptation of Ranganathan’s laws, this paper provides a roadmap for integrating AI into library services without compromising their core values. Originality/value This research offers a novel perspective by reconceptualizing Ranganathan’s five laws in the era of AI, providing LIS professionals with a theoretical framework to guide AI integration. It contributes to the discourse on ethical and sustainable AI adoption in libraries, ensuring that technological advancements support rather than undermine traditional LIS principles.

Abstract:
Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan, an Indian librarian, and mathematician developed the Five Laws of Librarianship in 1931. Principles drawn from these laws undergird the design and delivery of library services to date. The second law states that “every reader his or her book”. This implies that libraries should deliver services and resources which are customised for the specific needs of unique categories of their users. The degree to which academic libraries in Kenya offer appropriate services to persons with disabilities (PWDs), particularly in the post-COVID-19 era, is unknown. This paper evaluates the services offered to PWDs by academic libraries in Kenya using Tangaza University College Library as a case study. Specifically, the paper assesses the preparedness of academic libraries in Kenya to meet the information needs of PWDs, identifies the services and resources offered to PWDs by academic libraries in Kenya, evaluates the usability of the services, and proposes a framework for providing information services to PWDs in academic libraries in Kenya in the post-COVID 19 era. This paper was developed using concurrent triangulated mixed methods research through which quantitative and qualitative data was collected from 11 librarians and 9 PWDs using questionnaires and interviews respectively. Due to the small number of the target population, a census was used. The findings of the study reveal that academic libraries are least prepared to offer information services and materials to PWDs. Although commendable efforts are being made, there are gaps in the conceptualization, design, and delivery of the services. There is a need for a framework to mainstream the needs of the PWDs in the bouquet of services offered by academic libraries in Kenya. The findings contribute to the discourses on the emerging role of libraries in safeguarding the information and communication rights of PWDs in Kenya and abroad in the post-COVID era. A framework to enhance information services to PWDs by academic libraries in Kenya is proposed.
