Hi all, I am Michael May, new "Classics Editor" at dLIST, the Digital Library of Information Science and Technology: http://dlist.sir.arizona.edu/ dLIST has received written permission from the copyright owner of works by S.R. Ranganathan to post electronic copies of several of SRR's books at the dLIST site, including the original 1931 edition of The Five Laws of Library Science, the main premise of which is "Books are for use!" Despite being out of print (a reprint is planned for later this year by Ess Ess Publications of India <http://www.essessreference.com/servlet/esgetbiblio?n=000313>), Five Laws is arguably the most important work in library science to date. We have experimented with PDF by posting the prefatory pages and Chapter 1 here: http://genie.sir.arizona.edu/1115/ However, Five Laws is over 500 pages and includes numerous illustrations. I believe a text or html version would be much easier to access and preserve. What advice do you have about how to proceed? I was thinking about starting by recruiting volunteers from the LIS community to transcribe the text. What should I think about or plan for before asking people to help? Does Project Gutenberg already have resources available that could help us? I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or advice. Thanks. Mike
