Fall 2009 Question 3
Ranganathan has suggested that a guiding principle should be to “Save the time of the reader.” In your answer, discuss if library catalogs and indexing databases actually save the time of the reader. • If they do, describe how they accomplish this; include at least three features of these information sources to discuss how they succeed in saving the reader’s time • If they do not, argue why they do not accomplish this; describe their functions and how they fail in saving the reader’s time
