This Association of Vision Science Librarians revision of the "Standards for Vision Science Libraries" aspires to provide benchmarks to address the needs for the services and resources of modern vision science libraries (academic, medical or hospital, pharmaceutical, and so on), which share a core mission, are varied by type, and are located throughout the world.
Through multiple meeting discussions, member surveys, and a collaborative revision process, the standards have been updated for the first time in over a decade.
While the range of types of libraries supporting vision science services, education, and research is wide, all libraries, regardless of type, share core attributes, which the standards address.
The current standards can and should be used to help develop new vision science libraries or to expand the growth of existing libraries, as well as to support vision science librarians in their work to better provide services and resources to their respective users.
本《视觉科学图书馆员协会标准》修订版旨在为现代视觉科学图书馆(学术、医学或医院、制药等)的服务和资源需求提供基准,这些图书馆有共同的核心使命,但类型各异,遍布世界各地。
通过多次会议讨论、成员调查和协作修订过程,该标准在十年来首次得到更新。
虽然支持视觉科学服务、教育和研究的图书馆类型范围很广,但所有图书馆,无论类型如何,都具有标准所涉及的核心属性。
现行标准可以而且应该用于帮助建立新的视觉科学图书馆,或扩大现有图书馆的发展,以及支持视觉科学图书馆员更好地为各自用户提供服务和资源。
