In the present paper an attempt has been made to compare the Ranganathan's first law of library science and Newton's first law of motion. The book will be on the library stack; will not move unless somebody pushes it. Library staff must take certain measure to reach the book in to the hands of the readers (it may be book, document and information). The librarian who would like to flourish his career and to be a successful librarian must keep the first law of Library Science in his mind. And the librarian who wants to maintain his library service-fully must have to apply these laws in his/her library. These laws may be considered as the main motto of library science. For the effective use of the library resources, the library professionals and resources must be in motion.

Abstract


In the present paper an attempt has been made to compare the Ranganathan's first law of library science and Newton's first law of motion. The book will be on the library stack; will not move unless somebody pushes it. Library staff must take certain measure to reach the book in to the hands of the readers (it may be book, document and information). The librarian who would like to flourish his career and to be a successful librarian must keep the first law of Library Science in his mind. And the librarian who wants to maintain his library service-fully must have to apply these laws in his/her library. These laws may be considered as the main motto of library science. For the effective use of the library resources, the library professionals and resources must be in motion.
