Ranganathan in 2011

I'm thinking about the Five laws of library science that is a theory proposed by S. R. Ranganathan in 1931, detailing the principles of operating a library system.
These laws are:
  1. Books are for use.
  2. Every reader his [or her] book.
  3. Every book its reader.
  4. Save the time of the reader.
  5. The library is a growing organism.
And now, in 2011 ... what happens with open access and the Institutional Repository (IR)?


One can speak of digital Five laws of Library and information science (LIS)?
For example:
  1. Record are for use.
  2. Every reader his [or her] record.
  3. Every record its reader.
  4. Save the time of the reader.
  5. The IR is a growing organism.
