S.R. Ramamrita Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science (1931) has long served as a philosophy for the practice of librarianship. The original five laws remain relevant almost ninety years after they were originally proposed (Ranganathan, 1931). As new modes of information and access, as well as resources and technology, have come into existence, these laws have remained flexible and open to adaptation. However, library literature has not yet situated Ranganathan's Five Laws within the context of open educational resources (OER). As freely accessible teaching and learning resources, OER reflect the core values of Ranganathan's Five Laws; further, viewing OER through Ranganathan's lens offers new opportunities for librarians to situate their OER work within one of the discipline's most foundational philosophies. The following sections introduce Ranganathan's five laws and their recent adaptations and provide a new interpretation of these laws within the context of OER. The implications for situating OER within Ranganathan's Five Laws are also shared. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
