Global Libraries Standards: Library Resource Management
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.
From this standpoint, setting and developing unified standards that guide libraries and information centers becomes an urgent necessity, especially when planning library or documentary services followed by evaluation of their performance.
As a continuation of The Global Libraries Standards Articles , we present a new standard “Library Resource Management”.
