NISO draft standard on preservation product information

The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has
distributed a draft standard on Preservation Product Information to
NISO Voting Members for ballot.  "Guidelines for Preservation
Product Information" (ANSI/NISO Z39.77-199x) provides guidelines on
information that should be included in advertisements, catalogs, and
promotional materials describing products used for the storage,
binding, or repair of library materials.  The guidelines apply to a
wide range of library materials, including books, pamphlets, sound
recordings, videotapes, films, compact disks, manuscripts, maps, and
photographs.

The ballot period ends on November 15, 1997.  Copies of the draft
standard are available to interested parties at a cost of $35.00.
