In the Service of Library, the consumer is the user; the commodity served is systematised knowledge-that is, subject; and the distributor of the commodity is the library profession. To perform this work efficiently, the library profession should acquire some knowledge of commodities to be served that is the Universe of Subjects, particularly its development, structure and the interrelation among the subjects. Such a study is, in fact, the necessary implication of the Five Laws of Library Science. Learning the structure and development of the Universe of subjects-that is, the patterns of subjects and their mode of development-has helped the researchers in the formulation of the methodology for the design of the schemes of classification in particular and for research in library and information science in general.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR J.K. Khanna
The author has M.A., Ph.D. (Pol. Science), and M.Lib. Sc., Ph.D. (Library Science) to his credit. S.R.Ranganathan who created men out of clay has also divine eyes. Discerning the real mettle of the author, he wrote to the latter, immediately before his death, to stay in the profession and work for its elevation. In Ranganathan's words: For the last 10 years I had been observing the rapid degeneration in the profssion. It is for a person like you to take off the coat as I did my self in my younger days and work hard to put the profession on the right rails. Influenced by the same advise of the Philosopher ----King (Ranganathan ), the author dropped the very idea of switching over of the teaching of Political Science, and re-dedicated himself to the profession. By burning mid-night-oil, he has enriched the profession. He authorship spans numerous research papers and highly appreciated 8 books in India and abroad.
