19、e to the library and information services community on the collection and reporting of statistics.Clauses 2 and 6 form the core of this International Standard. Clause 2 provides definitions for most of the elements which constitute a library service; these are for statistical purposes only. Clause 6

20、 recommends how each of these elements should be counted. Users will need to consult both clauses for the complete picture.This International Standard includes definitions and counting procedures for all types of resources and services that libraries offer to their users. The former Annex A, includi

21、ng definitions and procedures for electronic resources and services, has been integrated into the main part of the standard, as these resources and services have become a normal part of library activities.In order to explain the reasons for incorporating a number of new library services into this In

22、ternational Standard, Clause 3 has been added to describe the current tasks of libraries.It is recognized that not all measures specified in this International Standard can be collected by libraries of different types and sizes. To give greater completeness, several additional measures (important fo

23、r some sectors only) are described in Annex A. The aim is to ensure that, where a particular statistic is collected, the same definitions and methods are used.Annex B is important for the compilation and publication of national statistics so that they can be truly comparable between countries and ov

24、er time.The strong requirement to describe and publicize library activities can only be satisfied if data collection in libraries follows the lines of this International Standard. As far as possible, it is advisable that libraries collect all data named in this International Standard that concern th

25、eir activities.Developments in relation to this International Standard will be monitored and additional statistical measures will be incorporated as needed.An alphabetical index is given in Annex C.
