Library Manual Book Description The aim o this book is to serve as such a manual for the semiprofessionals and the honorary workers. It is a popular epitome of the essence of most of the treatises enumerated as the first 26 items in the bibliography at the end of this book. The parts1,2 and 6-on the Laws of Library Science, Public Relation, and Rural Library Service-are also intended to give a helpful orientation to the members of the Local Library Authorities that is, those in the top-management of the District Central Libraries and he Advisory Committees of the branch libraries and ofthe service stations of the libraries . The book as a whole can form the basis of the training to be given to semi-professionals. In fact, in the short period of training expending only to three or four months, the best that can be done will be to train the candidates in effectively using this book in their day-today work in their libraries, with a proper sense of perspective. Thus, this manual has been designed to be a book for the work-table. The instruction in the course for the semi-professionals may also aim at appetizing the trainees to look up some of the basic treatises epitomized in this book, Perhaps, a perusal of the first three parts may induce the top-management ad the honorary workers also to make a study of the Five laws of library science and the Reference service, of which parts1,2,3 and 6 are a rapid summary. Parts 2 and 6 have been newly added and parts 1 and 3 have been expended and completely re-written in this edition, to meet the needs of member of Library Authorities and other honorary workers Dr. S. R. Ranganathan (1892-1972) is world renowned in the field of library and information science. There is hardly any aspect of library science and library service that he has not touched and made significant contributions to it. His works Five Laws of Library Science laid the foundation of library and information service; and Prolegomena to Library classification.
