   Generalised Library Directory Services documents

   -- Posted 17 March 2003 --

   The team of librarians from the National Library of Australia has the task of revising ISO 2146: Information and documentation -- Directories of libraries and related organizations. They have proposed that a generalised form of the IPIG Directory Services for Interlibrary Loan would provide a robust core for the full directory, and are suggesting a limited number of structural changes to this directory to provide the core.
