Abstract

Discusses the role of the British Standards Institution (BSI) in formulating bibliographic standards. Outline how library stanbdards have developed and why librarians need to standardize. The democratic aspect of BSI's work has been adversely affected by its 1990 decision to move its IT related activities to a new body; Delivery Information Solutions to Customers through International Standars (Disc), which operates on the basis of standards being formulated only by those prepared to pay a separate subscription. Questions whether BSI is the most appropriate body to serve the interest of the library and information services community. Proposes an alternative standards umbrella that would be better informed and more representative on LIS matters, and canvasses opinion as th whether the UK Library Association could handle standards work on behalf of BSI
