Information and documentation - International library statistics

ISO 2789:2006 specifies rules for the library and information services community on the collection and reporting of statistics
for the purposes of international reporting,
to ensure conformity between countries for those statistical measures that are frequently used by library managers but do not qualify for international reporting,
to encourage good practice in the use of statistics for the management of library and information services, and
to specify data provision required by ISO 11620.

Information et documentation - Statistiques internationales de bibliothèques

L'ISO 2789:2006 fournit des règles à la communauté des bibliothèques et des services d'information pour la collecte et la présentation de statistiques
en vue de l'établissement de synthèses sur le plan international,
pour assurer la conformité entre pays de mesures statistiques fréquemment utilisées par les gestionnaires de bibliothèques mais sans pour autant servir à l'établissement de synthèses internationales,
pour encourager une bonne pratique des statistiques dans la gestion des bibliothèques et des services d'information, et  
pour définir les données exigées par l'ISO 11620.

Informatika in dokumentacija - Mednarodna statistika za knjižnice

Ta mednarodni standard določa pravila za knjižnice in skupnost informacijskih storitev za zbiranje in poročanje statistike – za namene mednarodnega poročanja, - za zagotavljanje skladnosti med državami za tiste statistične ukrepe, ki jih pogosto uporabljajo vodje knjižnic in ki ne ustrezajo mednarodnemu poročanju, - za spodbujanje dobre prakse pri uporabi statistike za vodenje knjižnic in informacijskih storitev, ter za določevanje zbiranja podatkov po ISO 11620.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 2789 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 8, Qualitiy — Statistics and performance evaluation.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 2789:2003), which has been technically revised
to identify and overcome problems in the practical application of ISO 2789:2003 and to take account of the
rapid developments in electronic library services.

Introduction
This International Standard provides guidance to the library and information services community on the
collection and reporting of statistics.
Clauses 3 and 6 form the core of this International Standard. Clause 3 provides definitions for most of the
elements which constitute a library service; these are for statistical purposes only. Clause 6 recommends how
each of these elements should be counted. Users will need to consult both clauses for the complete picture.
In addition to the original purposes of giving general guidance on the keeping of library statistics for the
compilation of national statistics used for international reporting, there is a particular requirement to specify
data provision required by ISO 11620.
This International Standard includes definitions and counting procedures for electronic resources and services.
With regard to those clauses of the body of this International Standard that concern such electronic resources
and services, readers should particularly bear in mind the important explanations and guidelines of Annex A.
The form of an annex was chosen as it allows a more detailed description of methods and problems in
measuring use of electronic library services.
It is recognized that not all measures specified in this International Standard can be collected by libraries of
different type and size. To give greater completeness, several additional measures (important for some
sectors only) are described in Annex B. The aim is to ensure that, where a particular statistic is collected, the
same definitions and methods are used.
All the annexes are normative. Annex C is important for the compilation and publication of national statistics
so that they can be truly comparable between countries and over time.
The strong requirement to describe and publicize library activities can only be satisfied if data collection in
libraries follows the lines of this International Standard. As far as possible, libraries should collect all data
named in this International Standard that concern their activities.
The presentation and publication of statistics always need careful attention but are considered to be beyond
the scope of this International Standard.
This International Standard will be maintained by a Working Group that will monitor developments and
incorporate additional statistical measures as needed.

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies rules for the library and information services community on the collection
and reporting of statistics
⎯ for the purposes of international reporting,
⎯ to ensure conformity between countries for those statistical measures that are frequently used by library
managers but do not qualify for international reporting,
⎯ to encourage good practice in the use of statistics for the management of library and information services,
and
⎯ to specify data provision required by ISO 11620.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 Libraries
3.1.1
administrative unit
any independent library, or group of libraries, under a single director or a single administration
NOTE 1 The term “independent” does not imply legal or financial independence but only that the library is a
recognizably separate unit, typically within a larger organization.

1) ISO/TR 20983 and ISO 11620:1998/Amd. 1 will be incorporated into the second edition of ISO 11620.
NOTE 2 Typically, the administrative unit is an organization containing a central/main library, branch libraries and
administrative functions. See the Example in 6.1.1.
3.1.2
branch library
part of a larger administrative unit providing, in separate quarters, a service for a particular user group (e.g.
children, faculties) or for a locally defined clientele
NOTE Institute, departmental and other affiliated libraries are included. Mobile libraries are excluded.
3.1.3
central library
main library
usually that part or those parts of an administrative unit where the main administrative functions and the
important parts of the library collection and services are located
NOTE An administrative unit comprising several branch libraries does not necessarily include a central library.
3.1.4
external service point
point away from library premises at which a certain service is regularly offered to users
NOTE 1 This includes places within a locality at which library material is deposited for informal circulation to a restricted
group of users but without other library services, for example, old peoples' homes, community centres, collections for
hospital patients, etc. Mobile libraries are excluded.
NOTE 2 The points at which mobile libraries stop are not counted as external service points.
NOTE 3 A simple PC connection to a place outside the library (e.g. in a students' home) is not counted as an external
service point.
3.1.5
library
organization, or part of an organization, the main aims of which are to build and maintain a collection and to
facilitate the use of such information resources and facilities as are required to meet the informational,
research, educational, cultural or recreational needs of its users
NOTE 1 These are the basic requirements for a library and do not exclude any additional resources and services
incidental to its main purpose.
NOTE 2 Where a library has more than one function (e.g. school library and public library), it generally either decides

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
L'attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l'objet de
droits de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L'ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne
pas avoir identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L'ISO 2789 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 46, Information et documentation, sous-comité
SC 8, Qualité — Statistiques et évaluation de la performance.
Cette quatrième édition annule et remplace la troisième édition (ISO 2789:2003), dont elle constitue une
révision technique afin d'identifier et de régler les problèmes d'application pratique de la norme
ISO 2789:2003 et de prendre en compte le développement rapide des services électroniques des
bibliothèques.

Introduction
La présente Norme internationale fournit des règles à la communauté des bibliothèques et des services
d'information pour la collecte et la présentation de statistiques.
Les Articles 3 et 6 forment le cœur de la présente Norme internationale. L'Article 3 fournit les définitions de la
plupart des éléments composant le service d'une bibliothèque; ces définitions ne s'appliquent que dans une
perspective statistique. L'Article 6 indique comment compter chacun des éléments définis. Les utilisateurs
devront consulter les deux sections pour disposer d'une vue complète.
Aux objectifs initiaux, qui consistent à édicter des règles générales de tenue des statistiques de bibliothèques
en vue de leur recueil à l'échelle nationale puis de l'établissement de synthèses internationales, s'ajoute une
exigence particulière pour spécifier les données requises par l'ISO 11620.
La présente Norme internationale comprend les définitions et les procédures de comptage pour les
ressources et services électroniques. À la lecture des parties de la présente Norme internationale concernant
ces mêmes ressources et services électroniques, il convient que les lecteurs aient particulièrement à l'esprit
les explications et conseils importants de l'Annexe A. La présentation en annexe a été retenue car elle permet
de décrire plus en détail les méthodes et les problèmes concernant la mesure de l'utilisation des services
électroniques des bibliothèques.
Il va sans dire que l'ensemble des données définies dans la présente Norme internationale ne peuvent être
collectées par des bibliothèques de types ou de tailles différents. À titre de complément, l'Annexe B décrit des
données supplémentaires (qui n'ont d'importance que dans certains cas). Ces précisions visent à s'assurer
que l'on utilise bien les mêmes définitions et les mêmes méthodes lors de la collecte de telles données
statistiques.
Toutes les annexes sont normatives. L'Annexe C est importante pour recueillir et publier des statistiques
nationales qui soient véritablement comparables entre les pays et dans le temps.
On ne peut satisfaire la forte demande de description et de diffusion de l'activité des bibliothèques que si la
collecte des données dans les bibliothèques suit les lignes de la présente Norme internationale. Autant que
possible, il convient que les bibliothèques collectent toutes les données de leur activité citées dans la
présente Norme internationale.
La présentation et la diffusion de statistiques nécessitent toujours une attention particulière mais sont
considérées comme demeurant hors du champ d'application de la présente Norme internationale.
La maintenance de la présente Norme internationale sera assurée par un groupe de travail qui en supervisera
les développements et incorporera de nouvelles mesures statistiques en fonction des besoins.
