Revisiting Ranganathan’s Laws: Data-Driven Insights on Libraries and Technology

Abstract

This study analyzes how modern libraries are keeping up with Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science, especially
when it comes to user engagement, technology, and adapting to evolving needs. By analyzing data with Python, this
study dives into key factors like how often people visit libraries, why they go, how helpful the staff are, the ease of using
RFID and self-service tools, and overall satisfaction with digital resources. The results highlight the importance of
libraries embracing new technology, expanding their offerings, and putting users first. Ultimately, this study provides
practical insights to help libraries improve accessibility, engagement, and satisfaction—ensuring they stay relevant and
continue to grow in the digital era
