Core Objectives & Ranganathan's Philosophy
Our repository matches the five classic Laws of Library Science established by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan[cite: 42]:
1. Books are for use[cite: 43].
2. Every reader his/her book[cite: 44].
3. Every book its reader[cite: 45].
4. Save the time of the reader[cite: 46].
5. The library is a growing organism[cite: 47].
