Importance of Library
Teaching is co-operative enterprise. Teacher must have the necessary tools for teaching purposes in the
shape of libraries and laboratories as also the right type of students. The library is the heart of all the
Universitys work; directly so, as regard its research work, and indirectly, as regards its educational work,
which derives its life form research work. Scientific research needs a library as well as its laboratories,
while for humanistic research the library is both library and laboratory in one. Training in higher braches
of use the tools, and if the library tools are not there, how can the student learn to use them? Present
Trumans Commission on the Higher Education sys, The library is second only to the instructional staff in
its importance for high quality instruction and research. Both for humanistic and scientific studies, a
first class library is essential in university.(Dr. S Radhakrishnan, Chairman UGC,1948)
Five Laws of Library Science
The Five laws of library science is a theory proposed by S. R. Ranganathan in 1931, detailing the
principles of operating a library system. Many librarians worldwide accept them as the foundations of
their philosophy.
These laws are:
1. Books are for use.
2. Every reader his [or her] book.
3. Every book its reader.
4. Save the time of the reader.
5. The library is a growing organism.


Fifth Law: The library is a growing Organism
This law focused more on the need for internal change than on changes in the environment itself.
Dr. Ranganathan argued that library organizations must accommodate growth in staff, the physical
collection, and patron use. This involved allowing for growth in the physical building, reading areas,
shelving, and online catalog.
Fifth law of library science The library is a growing organism. This means that a library is always
changing. The books need to be updated over time, new books should be bought and old books
replaced.
Now we have more than 300 students, more than 15 faculties, 10-15 staffs and more than 5000
books.
New Concept of Laws of Library Science
1. Web resources are for use.
2. Every user has his or her web resource.
3. Every web resource its user.
4. Save the time of the user.
5. The Web is a growing organism.
In this new concepts we are in a good position in web resources and providing students time to time,
