Abstract

This work, presented in May 2022, at the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the death of Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892-1972), takes as its starting point the book Documentation: genesis and development, published in 1971. This book is the result of a conversation that Ranganathan had with young librarians in Bangalore, India, in 1970. The purpose is to reconstruct the central concepts contained in his work, which are the document and Documentation, from the conception of a Ranganathan at the end of his days, whit a wealth of experiences, memories and trips.
