Abstract

SR Ranganathan in 1931 proposed a theory called The Five laws of library science. This theory became a foundation for the world of librarianship and influenced the library science. The emerges of technology in life made it necessary to redefine the five laws of librarianship. This research aims to describe how the theory is applied and in which part is not relevant and needs to be redefined for the sake of library progress. This research used a literature review by reading the original book entitled The Five Laws of Library Science by SR Ranganathan and compiled the five laws with the characteristic of Generation Z to be able to get new laws that fit this era The main findings of this research are (1) information: Focus on Content, not Container, (2) user Engagement, (3) Quantitative Analysis of Information, (4) learning Common (Online and Offline).
