Abstract

The information standards and specifications are very important for providing better services to the end-users. In this case, almost all the levels of library activities the standards and specifications should maintain. The network-based library automation is the main task to maintain, the overall work process within the library and information centers. In this article, the author focuses on the specific library standards used for operating the network-based library automation-related process. There are many standards and specifications are available for library and information systems, resources, services, and other areas. This paper highlights the important areas of ICT based LIS standards like bibliographical data, metadata, information processing, and retrievals, networking, digital library, internet, and Web, etc. This study focuses on the Information and Communication based Library and Information Science international standards used by the library professionals to organize, processes, maintain, operate, and disseminate the quality of products and service to the end users. With standards and specifications Library and Information Science professionals can easily maintain the overall processes and functions of a library work without more effort. This article focus only few standards and specification but there are many number of technical and performance standards not covered in this article.
