29、 not part of Information Services and Use: Metrics and Statistics for Libraries and Information Providers Data Dictionary, ANSI/NISO Z39.7-2013. It is included for information only.) About This Standard This standard was first published in 1968, reaffirmed in 1974, and revised in 1983, 1995, and 200
30、4. This 2013 revision is the fifth edition of the standard. 2004 Edition: Online Data Dictionary The 2004 revision differed significantly from its predecessors in its approach. It took the path of developing a web-based utility for identifying standard definitions, methods, and practices relevant to
31、 library statistics activities in the United States. Like the previous editions of Z39.7 the aim of the standard remains: to assist librarians and researchers now defined as the information community by indicating and defining useful quantifiable information to measure the resources and performance
32、of libraries and to provide a body of valid and comparable data on American libraries. The 2004 edition also changed the name from Library Statistics to its current title, Information Services and Use: Metrics and Statistics for Libraries and Information Providers Data Dictionary. When the standard
33、came up for is regular review in 2000, NISO organized an invitational workshop to explore directions and possible parameters for revising Z39.7 to reflect the current best practices. The NISO Forum on Performance Measures and Statistics for Libraries was held February 15-16, 2001 in Washington, D.C.
34、 In a structured setting, the Forum participants interactively examined current standards and best practices for library statistics and performance measures. Forum participants charted approaches to the issues including the data collection categories and performance measures that might be changed, a
35、dded, or deleted and what organizations should participate on the standards committee tasked to revise and/or expand the NISO standard. Current standards and best practices for library statistics and performance measures were discussed and identified as critical to the next edition of Z39.7. The 200
36、4 revision absorbed the de facto definitions established through the national program for collecting data about libraries (i.e., the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) survey program), and relevant U.S. association definitions, methods and practices of data collection. The value of this
37、 approach is that it recognizes the guidelines and best practices in the area of library statistics across the community, not only at the national survey level. As in the 1995 edition, most of the data elements included appeared on one or more of the national and association surveys. In addition, re
38、levant definitions from the international standard ISO 2789 developed were incorporated. 2013 Edition: Continuous Maintenance In 2008, at the recommendation of NISOs Business Information Topic Committee, the standard was transferred to a continuous maintenance mode. A Z39.7 Standing Committee was fo
39、rmed to review comments and suggested changes on a biannual basis, initially at the midwinter and annual conferences. The Data Dictionary was modified to allow anyone to comment online. The accepted comments and additional changes made by the Z39.7 Standing Committee to reflect changes in cited stat
40、istics surveys and new statistics to reflect changes for electronic documents and related services were added. One notable change is the integration of the former Appendix regarding Methods of Measurement into the body of the standard. The 2013 version is an aggregation of all the changes made since
41、 the standard was transferred to continuous maintenance. After using the online data dictionary, it became more apparent that document layout and organization were not fully complete. Some sections have been cleaned up, reformatted, and better organized. Also, the e-metrics have been integrated to m
42、ake them easier to use. ANSI/NISO Z39.7-2013, Information Services and Use: Metrics and Statistics for Libraries and Information Providers Data Dictionary viii Note that the surveys listed after the individual data elements collected that data element at some point, but they may not necessarily be c
43、ollecting it at the present time. Links for surveys lead the user to the main page for the survey series, which link to historical surveys as well as the current survey. Instructions for Submittal of Proposed Change to ANSI/NISO Z39.7 Under Continuous Maintenance If a provision of the standard is pr
44、oposed to be added or deleted, the text of the provision must be submitted in writing. Comments or proposals for revisions to any part of the standard may be submitted to NISO any time. Submissions must be accompanied by the submitters name, affiliation, telephone number, and e-mail address. Written
