Library Administration Book

Library Administration

Works of Dr. Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (S.R. Ranganathan) need no introduction. They are renowned not because they cover certain facet of library and information science, but because they have been written by the father of library science in india, Dr. Ranganathan. These library science classics have been reprinted to make Dr. Ranganathan's work available to the current generation of librarians and for those to come. The book is a remarkable illustration of the application of systems analysis, study of work flow, and time and motion study to libraries. It also illustrates the need for the library manager and management to pay attention to the minutae of library work and at the same to have a holistic view of libraryâ??s functions. It is only very appropriate that Ranganathan provides an extract from the â??Motherâ?? (page 66-72) by the mystic Shri Aurobindo to support this holistic approach to library administration.
