IFLA Committee on Standards Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN 1. IFLA: a standards organisation? • « Standards » : generic term used in IFLA documentation (i.e web site, strategic plan and in professional units • « Standard »: used rarely in IFLA titles: e.g. ISBD: International Standard Bibliographic Description) • IFLA standards publications commonly use terms such as « guidelines », « recommendations », « requirements », « principles » • « standard » needs to be better defined in IFLA Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN IFLA standards mostly « guidelines »? • Most IFLA standards are «guidelines »: set of proposals, suggestions (best practices) • Exceptions: ISBD are considered as standard cataloguing rules (similar to national cataloging codes); Conceptual model FRBR is considered the standard to describe bibliographic and autority data relationships • IFLA – does not yet have a formal structure of a standard organisation (AFNOR, BS, ANSI, ISO) even though it has similar processes • IFLA standards can influence or be used by other standard organisations (or vice versa) Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN IFLA Strategic Plan 2010-2015 Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN IFLA Guidelines Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN Manifesto Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN Other types of publications Patrice Landry Standard bibliotecari in era digitale 15 giugno, 2012 Département fédéral de l'intérieur DFI Office fédéral de la culture OFC Bibliothèque nationale suisse BN 2.
