Social media is for use - increasingly in libraries by librarians

Every social toot its user

Save time of user by providing information he or she seeks using the social tool he or she is familiar with

Basheerhamad Shadrach

In 2019 Basheerhamad Shadrach proposed the five laws of knowledge adapted from those of Ranganathan: 

Knowledge is for use in all forms

Every citizen has the right to access all forms of knowledge

Every Knowledge [sic] is for access by ''all'' without discrimination of any kind

Save the time of ''all'' knowledge seekers 

A Knowledge system is one that evolves with time to achieve all of the above laws.
