Serials, one of the more complicated areas of library technical endeavors, has lacked the benefit of standards for a long time. Even now, with standards beginning to be available, the majority of institutions are not working within standard serials formats. A survey to determine the use of serials standards in libraries was conducted in 1988 by the American Library Association, Resources and Technical Services Division, Serials Section, Committee to Study Serials Standards. In the spring of 1988 a survey was sent to a group encompassing the Association of Research Libraries members, CONSER participants, United States Newspaper Program participants, Microform Project libraries, and some vendors and librarians who attended the Committee meetings on a regular basis. The survey questionnaire assessed the current level of serials standards awareness of librarians and vendors. Topics included the type of serials systems used, standards relevant to serials control and union listing and whether or not they are implemented, types and levels of training staff received in the application of standards, benefits of the standards, and areas where standards are most needed.
连续出版物是图书馆技术工作中较为复杂的领域之一，长期以来一直缺乏标准的支持。即便到了现在，虽然标准已开始出现，但大多数机构仍未采用标准的连续出版物格式。1988年，美国图书馆协会资源与技术服务部连续出版物分会研究连续出版物标准委员会开展了一项关于图书馆连续出版物标准使用情况的调查。1988年春，调查问卷被发送给了一个涵盖研究图书馆协会成员、CONSER参与者、美国报纸计划参与者、缩微胶片项目图书馆以及一些定期参加委员会会议的供应商和图书馆员的群体。调查问卷评估了图书馆员和供应商对连续出版物标准的当前认知水平。主题包括所使用的连续出版物系统类型、与连续出版物控制和联合编目相关的标准以及这些标准是否得到实施、员工在标准应用方面接受的培训类型和水平、标准的益处以及最需要标准的领域。
