"It's a shame, really, that Microsoft is eschewing Web-based standards in its upcoming Internet Explorer 7. The new browser will NOT support the CSS2 standards, and that means bad news for both Web publishers and anyone who regularly uses the Web. Find out why, even with the new version, Internet Explorer Version 7 will be substandard, and what you can do about it, in this report."

Re: [LIS-Forum] Information required on Special Library Standard
by Rajesh Chandrakar 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

Dear Hena S Gupta, Yes, there is International Standard called "ANSI/NISO Z39.7 -2004 Information Services and Use: Metrics & statistics for libraries and information providers--Data Dictionary". This standard has been developed by the National Information Standard Organization (NISO), USA, identifies categories for basic library statistical data reported at the national level, and provides associated definitions of terms. In doing so it deals with the following areas: reporting unit and target population, human resources, collection resources, infrastructure, finances, and services. In addition, the standard identifies new measures associated with networked services, databases, and performance. The standard is not intended to be comprehensive in scope. Instead, it presents a framework for comparable library data by describing common elements pertaining to libraries of various types in the US. It does not address detailed statistics for specific areas where it seems more appropriate for experts in those areas to make recommendations (e.g., music, government documents, maps). Section 5 of this standard deals with the "Infrastructure", the website is http://www.niso.org/emetrics/current/section5.html. This standard has been developed for all kind of libraries, where you can look at your special library requirement. I hope this will help you.
