Standards for Library

 

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international nongovernmental organization made up of national standards bodies; it develops and publishes a wide range of proprietary, industrial, and commercial standards and is comprised of representatives from various national standards organizations. ISO has a membership of 165 national standards bodies. Source: https://www.iso.org/about-us.html

ISO compliance refers to the creation of, and adherence to, policies, processes, and procedures. ISO standards include ISO 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14971.

Benefits of Adoption ISO standards:

• Improved quality of services: By following standardized guidelines, libraries can ensure that their services are consistent, reliable, and meet the needs of their users.
• Enhanced efficiency and effectiveness: ISO standards can help libraries streamline their operations, improve resource management, and make better use of technology.
• Increased accountability and transparency: By demonstrating compliance with ISO standards, libraries can show their commitment to quality, accountability, and transparency.
• Greater collaboration and interoperability: ISO standards promote international cooperation and interoperability among libraries, facilitating resource sharing and knowledge exchange.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is the national standards body of India, established in 1947 to foster and develop standardization activities in the country. Its work significantly impacts various sectors, including library science, by ensuring quality and uniformity in information management and service delivery. Here's how BIS contributes to the field of library science:
