Image
  Standards are used as broad lines and guidelines for the processes related to planning and implementing Library services. Standards are not a substitute for planning, but rather they are levels that represent the minimum requirements and resistances necessary for Library service. If they exceed this limit, they are acceptable, effective and recognized .. and If it fails to reach this minimum, it will be ineffective and unacceptable.
