Andy Woodworth has printed an update of Ranganathan’s Five Laws, only how they relate to Ebooks:
Five Laws of Library Science (Ebook edition)
- Ebooks are for use.
- Every reader his or her ebook.
- Every book, any ereader.
- Save the time of the ereader patron.
- The library is an evolving organism.
See Andy’s post for his full details, but these are a great reminder that the more things change, the more we have to remember our fundamental principles.
