Dr. S. R. Ranganathan- The Universal Librarian

Abstract

As we remember and pay our homage and tribute to Dr. S.R. Ranganathan, those of us who were his students in1954-55 can recall with pleasant memory the intellectual ferment that bubbled excitedly in the profession those days and the inspiration and the spirit of dedication transplanted by our teachers in the students of Library Science all over India. The single most important contribution of Dr. Ranganathan as I would like to recall is the invincible message of a “profession with a mission” and the job satisfaction in the usefulness of providing reference service and other library services for the user’s satisfaction.
