This 6th edition of the Standards for Professional Information and Referral is a comprehensive upgrade and there are small and large changes throughout the document. In reality, it should all be read carefully! A more significant change is that Quality Indicators have been introduced that can be used to determine the degree of adherence to the standards or achievement of quality goals. These indicators are ideals that support and provide a framework for the actual standards. In addition to these changes, there are a number of new Standards that are being introduced such as Additional Channels for Access, Content Management and Indexing, and Program Evaluation and Quality Assurance. A detailed review of the changes in this English-version 6th edition can be found on the AIRS website – link here Download English-version 6th edition Standards >>>
