Author reminds readers of the first principles of librarianship as enunciated by S R Ranganathan, the great Indian library theorist, and explores their meaning in the digital age with stress to law libraries. Opines that as information professionals struggle through the myriad crises that challenge the budgets, the resources, the physical space and in some cases the profession’s very existence-it is easy to forget that at the heart of every library beats a basic tenet derived from Ranganathan’s first principles to unite patrons with information.
