Last July we posted that several important and influential books by one of the all-time great minds in librarianship and IR, S.R. Ranganathan, would be made available via the dLIST (Digital Library of Information Science and Technology). At that time, Ranganathan’s classic, “The Five Laws of Library Science” was available. Since then, these books have become available:
