Five laws of library science

The Five laws of Library Science is a theory that S. R. Ranganathan proposed in 1931, detailing the principles of operating a library system.

  • Books are for use.
  • Every person his or her book.
  • Every book its reader.
  • Save the time of the reader.
  • A library is a growing organism.

By updating the key words to the current high-tech era, those five laws can be used as-is for software. Similar to Alireza Noruzi's "Five Laws of the Web"

Replace ... With

  • Book ➡️ Software
  • Reader ➡️ User
  • Library ➡️ Application

Five laws of software applications

  • Books are Software is for use.
  • Every person his or her book Software.
