	S. R. Ranganathan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		His most notable contributions to the field were his five laws of library science and the development of the first major analytico-synthetic classification system, the Colon classification.
		It was during this period that he produced what have come to be known as his two greatest legacies: his five laws of library science (1931) and the Colon Classification system (1933).
		Ranganathan headed the Indian Library Association from 1944 to 1953, but was never a particularly adept administrator, and left amid controversy when the Delhi Public Library chose to use the Dewey Decimal Classification system instead of his own Colon Classification.

	Application of Ranganathan's Laws to the Web: the Five Laws of the Web
		For Ranganathan and his followers, the five laws were a first step toward putting library work on a scientific basis, providing general principles from which all library practices could be deduced (Garfield, 1984).
		Gorman's laws are not a revision of Ranganathan's laws, but another completely separate set, from the point of view of a librarian practicing in a technological society (Middleton, 1999).
		Another aspect of this law is its emphasis on a mission of use both by the individual seeker of truth and for the wider goals and aspirations of society.

		And yet it was in respect to these same laws that a convention of one of the great political parties, held in Maine in August, 1877, unanimously resolved that "enacted in the infancy of the republic, they have proved their wisdom by long and varied experience.
		By act of parliament, therefore, in 1849, all British navigation laws of a restrictive character, with the exception of such as pertained to the coasting trade, were repealed; and, in 1854, the British coasting trade also was thrown open, without restriction, to the participation of all nations.
