S. R. Ranganathan
Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (; 12〔http://publications.drdo.gov.in/gsdl/collect/dbit/index/assoc/HASH5351.dir/dbit1205003.pdf〕 August 1892 – 27 September 1972) was a mathematician and librarian from India.〔A Short Biography." Indian Statistical Institute.〕 His most notable contributions to the field were his five laws of library science and the development of the first major analytico-synthetic classification system, the colon classification. He is considered to be the father of library science, documentation, and information science in India and is widely known throughout the rest of the world for his fundamental thinking in the field. His birthday is observed every year as the National Library Day in India.〔Broughton, Vanda (2006). ''Essential Classification''. London, Facet Publishing. ISBN 978-1-85604-514-8 Indian Statistical Institute Library and Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science. "S. R. Ranganathan"〕
He was a university librarian and professor of library science at Benares Hindu University (1945–47) and professor of library science at the University of Delhi (1947–55). The last appointment made him director of the first Indian school of librarianship to offer higher degrees. He was president of the Indian Library Association from 1944 to 1953. In 1957 he was elected an honorary member of the International Federation for Information and Documentation (FID) and was made a vice-president for life of the Library Association of Great Britain.〔"Ranganathan, Shivala Ramanrita (1892–1972)."

==Early life and education==
Ranganathan, born on 12〔 August 1892 to Ramamrita, in Tanjore in British-ruled India.
Ranganathan began his professional life as a mathematician; he earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in mathematics from Madras Christian College in his home province, and then went on to earn a teaching license. His lifelong goal was to teach mathematics, and he was successively a member of the mathematics faculties at universities in Mangalore, Coimbatore and Madras (all within the span of five years). As a mathematics professor, he published a handful of papers, mostly on the history of mathematics. His career as an educator was somewhat hindered by a handicap of stammering (a difficulty Ranganathan gradually overcame in his professional life). The Government of India awarded Padmashri to Dr. S.R. Ranganathan in 1957 for valuable contributions to Library Science.〔Srivastava, A.P. (1977). Ranganathan: A pattern maker.
