Fundamentals of Library Science

Libraries are democratic institutions that exist for the enjoyment and benefit of all. As a result, the best strategies for promoting library use have received a lot of attention in recent years. How can libraries entice more people to visit? How can all classes have access to the facilities for using them? The best ways to help people who want to use libraries and time-saving strategies for readers and library staff are a couple of the issues that need to be addressed.

S. R. Ranganathan outlined the fundamentals of running a library system in his 1931 theory, “The Five Laws of Library Science” The laws are widely acknowledged as the cornerstones of the philosophy of many librarians from around the world. According to Ranganathan's The Five Laws of Library Science, these rules are as follows:

1. Books are for use.
2. Every person his or her book.
3. Every book its reader.
4. Save the time of the reader.
5. A library is a growing organism.

The purpose of the Fundamental of Library Science Book is to cultivate students' capacity for critical thought, particularly with regard to the objectives of libraries and information centres. in order to prepare students for careers in libraries and information services. to teach students how to manage information resources (both printed and digital). to make information sources easier to provide and access. to teach students how to access, manage, service, and archive information using information technology tools and techniques. to advance library and information science's current state of knowledge through extension, research, and publication efforts.
