17、ization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been establish

18、ed has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

19、 International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Pu

20、blication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such paten

21、t rights. ISO 2789 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee SC 8, Qualitiy Statistics and performance evaluation. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 2789:2003), which has been technically revised to identify and overcome

22、problems in the practical application of ISO 2789:2003 and to take account of the rapid developments in electronic library services.

23、Introduction This International Standard provides guidance to the library and information services community on the collection and reporting of statistics. Clauses 3 and 6 form the core of this International Standard. Clause 3 provides definitions for most of the elements which constitute a library

24、service; these are for statistical purposes only. Clause 6 recommends how each of these elements should be counted. Users will need to consult both clauses for the complete picture. In addition to the original purposes of giving general guidance on the keeping of library statistics for the compilati

25、on of national statistics used for international reporting, there is a particular requirement to specify data provision required by ISO 11620. This International Standard includes definitions and counting procedures for electronic resources and services. With regard to those clauses of the body of t

26、his International Standard that concern such electronic resources and services, readers should particularly bear in mind the important explanations and guidelines of Annex A. The form of an annex was chosen as it allows a more detailed description of methods and problems in measuring use of electron

27、ic library services. It is recognized that not all measures specified in this International Standard can be collected by libraries of different type and size. To give greater completeness, several additional measures (important for some sectors only) are described in Annex B. The aim is to ensure th

28、at, where a particular statistic is collected, the same definitions and methods are used. All the annexes are normative. Annex C is important for the compilation and publication of national statistics so that they can be truly comparable between countries and over time. The strong requirement to des

29、cribe and publicize library activities can only be satisfied if data collection in libraries follows the lines of this International Standard. As far as possible, libraries should collect all data named in this International Standard that concern their activities. The presentation and publication of

30、 statistics always need careful attention but are considered to be beyond the scope of this International Standard. This International Standard will be maintained by a Working Group that will monitor developments and incorporate additional statistical measures as needed. SANS 2789:2009This s tandard

32、cumentation International library statistics 1 Scope This International Standard specifies rules for the library and information services community on the collection and reporting of statistics for the purposes of international reporting, to ensure conformity between countries for those statistical

33、measures that are frequently used by library managers but do not qualify for international reporting, to encourage good practice in the use of statistics for the management of library and information services, and to specify data provision required by ISO 11620. 2 Normative references The following

34、referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 11620:1998, Information and documentation Library performan

36、 purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 Libraries 3.1.1 administrative unit any independent library, or group of libraries, under a single director or a single administration NOTE 1 The term “independent” does not imply legal or financial independence but only that

37、 the library is a recognizably separate unit, typically within a larger organization. 1) ISO/TR 20983 and ISO 11620:1998/Amd. 1 will be incorporated into the second edition of ISO 11620.

38、 SABS .ISO 2789:2006(E) 2 ISO 2006 All rights reservedNOTE 2 Typically, the administrative unit is an organization containing a central/main library, branch libraries and administrative functions. See the Example in 6.1.1. 3.1.2 branch library part of a larger administrative unit providing, in separ

39、ate quarters, a service for a particular user group (e.g. children, faculties) or for a locally defined clientele NOTE Institute, departmental and other affiliated libraries are included. Mobile libraries are excluded. 3.1.3 central library main library usually that part or those parts of an adminis

40、trative unit where the main administrative functions and the important parts of the library collection and services are located NOTE An administrative unit comprising several branch libraries does not necessarily include a central library. 3.1.4 external service point point away from library premise

41、s at which a certain service is regularly offered to users NOTE 1 This includes places within a locality at which library material is deposited for informal circulation to a restricted group of users but without other library services, for example, old peoples homes, community centres, collections f

42、or hospital patients, etc. Mobile libraries are excluded. NOTE 2 The points at which mobile libraries stop are not counted as external service points. NOTE 3 A simple PC connection to a place outside the library (e.g. in a students home) is not counted as an external service point. 3.1.5 library org

43、anization, or part of an organization, the main aims of which are to build and maintain a collection and to facilitate the use of such information resources and facilities as are required to meet the informational, research, educational, cultural or recreational needs of its users NOTE 1 These are t

44、he basic requirements for a library and do not exclude any additional resources and services incidental to its main purpose. NOTE 2 Where a library has more than one function (e.g. school library and public library), it generally either decides what is its primary function or, in extreme cases, divi

45、des its functionality and report data accordingly. 3.1.6 library of an institution of higher education library whose primary function is to serve students, academic and professional staff in universities and other institutions of education at the third (tertiary) level and above NOTE It can also ser

46、ve the general public. 3.1.7 mobile library library, sometimes a division of a public library, using transport means and furnished to provide documents and services directly to users as an alternative to access on library premises NOTE Adapted from ISO 5127:2001, definition 3.2.16. 3.1.8 national li
