Glimpse of SR RANGANATHAN 

  August 12th is being celebrated as National Librarian's Day in India, in remembrance of national professor of library science, Dr S R Ranganathan (1892-1972). Dr. Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan was born on August 9, 1892 Shiyali, Madras and died on September 27, 1972 in Bangalore.  12th August is being celebrated as Librarian's Day in honour of his Birth Anniversary.
