How can we assure that we are doing the

right things?

How can we assure that we are doing the

right things?For everyone?That will save resources?That will improve services?

That will be adopted?

“You would be a fool to design a

system based on an interchange

protocol.”

- Mark Bide, EDItEUR

Some “next generation library

systems” are already in production

Defining what you are by what you are not

Not designing a specNot picking

winners/losersNot advancing any

“agenda”

A good specification is

necessary

A good specification is

necessarybut it is not sufficient

It is in…. Adoption

(or rather, in its absence)

The point at which most standards fail is not prior to consensus

How can NISO help?
