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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives ).

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. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents ).

Introduction

This document was developed to provide a standard way to represent an item in various kinds of applications in libraries or related organizations. Usually, libraries have local identification systems for the items they hold. But when an item is handled beyond the boundary of the library, for example in an interlibrary loan transaction, local identification systems do not continue to function for the overall identification of the item. This document is intended to be used in systems in which items are manipulated beyond the owning institution.

It is true that the combination of the library identifier and its local item identifier generally works for identification. In some cases, however, it might be necessary to add a collection identifier. This identifier addresses the issues involved in external circulation of materials, facilitating global item identification.

This document is designed to maximize the discretion of the holding organizations, to minimize any difficulties in its application. It is simple and easy and promotes the cooperation of libraries.

1 Scope

This document specifies the International Library Item Identifier (ILII), which is used for the unique identification of items held by libraries and related organizations. “Library and related organization” here refers to an organization within the scope of ISO 15511. “Items” here refer to materials identified and managed by a concerned organization.

The purpose of ILII is to facilitate unique identification of library items when information about them is shared among library applications. Examples of such system(s) include interlibrary loans and shared print agreements.
