The ISO 2789:2003 standard related to “Information and Documentation – International Library Statistics” provides definitions and specifications for the collection and reporting of statistics regarding both traditional and electronic library services. In recent years, a new emphasis has been put on the quality measurement of library services as well as on the usage statistics of library resources. The ISO 11620:1998 “Information and Documentation: performance indicators for libraries” and its recent amendment aim to support these requirements. The new ISO 2789:2003 specifies data provision as requested in ISO 11620. The standards are now available in Hungarian language, together with ISO/TR 20983:2003 “Information and Documentation: performance indicators for electronic library services.”
