कुछ दिलचस्प तथ्य जो कि डॉ॰ रंगनाथन का कार्य के प्रति जनून को दर्शाती हैः
- रंगनाथन सप्ताह में सात दिन और औसतन 16 घंटे कार्य करते थे।
- मद्रास विश्वविद्यालय के लाइब्रेरियन के 20 वर्षों के दौरान उन्होंने कोई छुट्टी नहीं ली।
- वे गांधी जी से बहुत प्रभावित थे। अच्छी आय के वावजूद वे बहुत ही साधारण तरीके से जीवन-यापन करते थे।
- वह आमतौर पर नंगे पांव ही लाइब्रेरी में चलते थे। वे कहा करते थे कि पुस्तकालय उनका घर समान है, और कोई भी अपने ही घर के अंदर जूते नहीं पहनता।
- पुस्तकालय उनके दिल-जान में बसता था। कभी-कभी तो वे अपने काम पर इतना तल्लीन हो जाते थे कि खाने के समय का भी भान नहीें होता था तथा बिना सोये ही पूरी रात बिता देते थे।
- वे समय के बहुत पाबंद थे। वे कभी किसी मीटिंग में देर से नहीं पहुंचे। वे पुस्तकालय भी सबसे पहले पहुंचते और वहां से निकलने वाले सबसे आखिरी व्यक्ति होते थे।
- वे प्राप्त हुए पत्रों के जवाब उसी दिन दे देते थे। वे प्रत्येक पत्र को पढ़ते थे और हस्तलिखित उत्तर ही देते थे।
- वे जीवन के अंतिम वर्षों तक अनुसंधान कार्य में सक्रिय सक्रिय रहे।
यद्यपि डॉ एस आर रंगनाथन का जन्म 9 अगस्त को हुआ था। जब उन्हें स्कूल में भर्ती कराया गया था, तो उनकी जन्म तिथि 12 अगस्त दर्ज की गई थी। अतः 12 अगस्त को ही उनकी याद में राष्ट्रीय लाइब्रेरियन डे (National Librarian’s Day) मनाया जाता है।

Carla Hayden has an audacious plan to make Library of Congress available to you online
CNET spoke with Hayden about her massive effort to digitize the biggest library in the world.
Ambitious doesn't begin to describe Carla Hayden's plan to make the Library of Congress' collection available to the world. Audacious may be closer to it. Hayden, the 14th person to steward the Library, wants to "throw open the treasure chest" by digitizing its vast collection and making it accessible online. The five-year plan's understated name -- Enriching the Library Experience -- doesn't capture its scope. Hayden wants people to engage with everything from the letters of Abraham Lincoln to early-edition Batman comics.
Carla Hayden is the first African American and first woman to serve as the Librarian of Congress. Among other tasks, she is in charge of the library's ongoing digitization efforts.
Tom Williams
Where are you in the digitization process?
Hayden: The library has been digitizing its special collections for over 20 years. And we have made quite a bit of progress. For instance, in the past year, we've digitized more than 7.1 million items. Most of the things that we're putting online now have never been able to be digitized before. We've recently been putting up the collection of the baseball scout Branch Rickey, who wrote scouting reports for Ernie Banks and Henry "Hank" Aaron. When you put these things online, you are really expanding the reach. And so this is going to be a continuing effort because history never stops. And we are continually getting special collections. We just purchased the collection of the composer Billy Strayhorn, who was a partner with Duke Ellington. You know, Take the A Train and all that. And we're digitizing the Rosa Parks collection.
