Information and documentation -- Determination of price indexes for print and electronic media purchased by libraries
Information and documentation -- Determination of price indexes for print and electronic media purchased by libraries
ISO 9230:2007 specifies a method for the determination of price indexes relating to the prices of print and electronic media acquired by libraries. It is not meant for calculating a price index of the national media production. The media included are restricted to books, serials and databases.
It is intended primarily for use by the library community, although it is accepted that other organizations may also find it useful. It focuses on compiling price indexes on the base of national and international sources, relevant to one country or region and different types of libraries. Different indexes will be appropriate to different types of library, according to the types of material in their collections. ISO 9230:2007 presents a methodology allowing for a general index which could be calculated from subsets of data, and could be weighted according to local needs. It introduces sampling methods for the selection of materials on which to base calculations.
Note that ISO 9230:2007 describes indexes of prices, not of costs. Local cost indexes can be compiled instead of price indexes where there is insufficient uniformity of pricing structures to permit the calculation of price indexes, or as an additional tool for libraries. Guidelines for the calculation of local cost indexes are given in Annex B.
Information et documentation -- Détermination des indices de prix pour les documents imprimés et électroniques acquis par les bibliothèques
L'ISO 9230:2007 spécifie une méthode de détermination d'indices de prix relatifs aux documents imprimés et électroniques acquis par les bibliothèques. Elle n'est pas destinée au calcul d'un indice de prix de la production nationale des documents. Les documents visés sont limités aux livres, aux publications en série et aux bases de données.
Elle est destinée à l'usage de la communauté des bibliothèques, bien qu'il soit convenu que d'autres organismes puissent la trouver utile. Elle met l'accent sur la constitution d'indices de prix fondés sur des sources nationales et internationales, pertinentes pour un pays ou une région et pour différentes catégories de bibliothèques. Des indices différents seront appropriés à des catégories différentes de bibliothèques, selon les catégories de documents présentes dans leurs collections. La présente Norme internationale décrit une méthode permettant d'établir un indice général calculé à partir de sous-ensembles de données et de le pondérer en fonction des besoins locaux. Elle introduit des méthodes d'échantillonnage pour le choix des documents servant au calcul.
Il est à noter que l'ISO 9230:2007 décrit des indices de prix et non des coûts. Des indices de coût local peuvent être constitués à la place des indices de prix là où la structure des prix n'est pas assez uniforme pour permettre le calcul d'indices de prix ou bien à titre d'outil complémentaire pour les bibliothèques.
Informatika in dokumentacija - Določanje indeksov cen za tiskane in elektronske medije, ki jih nabavijo knjižnice
Ta mednarodni standard navaja metodo za določanje indeksov cen v zvezi s cenami za tiskane in elektronske medije, ki jih nabavijo knjižnice. Standard ni namenjen izračunu indeksa cen nacionalne proizvodnje medijev. Obravnavani mediji so omejeni na knjige, serijske publikacije in zbirke podatkov.
OPOMBA: Dodatne podrobnosti so navedene v točkah 2.2 in 3.1.
Uporabljala naj bi ga zlasti knjižnična skupnost, čeprav je splošno sprejeto, da se zdi koristen tudi drugim organizacijam. Standard se osredotoča na zbiranje indeksov cen v okviru zbirke nacionalnih in mednarodnih virov, ki se nanašajo na eno državo ali regijo ter različne vrste knjižnic. Različni indeksi bodo ustrezni za različne vrste knjižnic glede na vrste gradiva v njihovih zbirkah. Ta mednarodni standard predstavlja metodologijo, ki omogoča splošen indeks, ki bi ga bilo mogoče izračunati na podlagi podnizov podatkov in bi se lahko ovrednotil glede na lokalne potrebe. Standard uvaja metode vzorčenja za izbiro gradiv, na podlagi katerih temeljijo izračuni.
Opozoriti je treba, da ta mednarodni standard opisuje indekse cen, ne stroškov. Zbirajo se lahko lokalni indeksi stroškov
namesto indeksov cen, kadar obstaja zadostna enotnost struktur določanja cen, da se omogoči izračun indeksov cen, ali kot dodatno orodje za knjižnice. Smernice za izračun lokalnih indeksov stroškov so podane v dodatku B.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Introduction
The intention of this International Standard is to provide the international library community with a
methodology for establishing national price indexes for the documents they acquire. This second edition has
been expanded to cover electronic as well as printed books and serials, and electronic databases.
A problem well known to libraries is the difficulty of controlling the amount of funding made available annually
for acquisitions.
If libraries generally acquired documents, in one physical medium, solely from national sources, and had
stable budgets, the problems of budget control for library documents would be simple. This is, however, not
the situation. Libraries now have to cope with information of a greater variety than before, and from
international sources. These developments in the information world are accompanied by general economic
developments that seem to create reductions and instability in library budgets.
Under such circumstances the demand for effective library management grows, and with it the demand for
tools for library management. Use of price indexes is, of course, only one element in library management
practice, but one which is nevertheless necessary for relevant budget control. National price indexes are not
only needed for funding but also for negotiation with vendors and publishers.
Price indexes do not relate only to national production, but to materials of both national and international origin
used by libraries. It is not intended that price indexes constructed according to this methodology should in any
way replace general consumer price indexes or specific indexes set up by the trade. However, indexes can
normally be regarded as accurate only within a specific environment. The experience that led to the
preparation of this International Standard was the difficulty in applying indexes of non-library origin to library
management.
It is easy to understand the difficulties of reporting prices when one takes into consideration the international
background of most library and information work, which can involve many countries and currencies.
This International Standard is intended to be, therefore, an accepted tool for library management.
It has been necessary to apply certain limitations to this International Standard.
Though libraries in most countries still spend the majority of their financial resources on print media (books
and journals), there is a growing collection of electronic documents that can be more important for use. The
priority between these groups can differ from library to library, but they are dealt with together in this
International Standard. Increasingly, libraries are acquiring large electronic collections, and one of the key
reasons for revision of this International Standard was to incorporate methodologies appropriate to a range of
digital documents. This International Standard therefore covers books and serials in both print and electronic
forms, and databases. It was decided to continue to exclude from this International Standard criteria which
could be used for price indexes for other types of physical media. This International Standard does not ignore
the need to deal with these other physical media. They have, however, been excluded in order to bring this
work to a conclusion.
In the future, when more experience is gained, any revision of, or addition to, this International Standard could
include other physical media.

L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.

Introduction
La présente Norme internationale a pour but d'offrir à la communauté internationale des bibliothèques une
méthode pour établir les indices nationaux de prix des documents qu'elles acquièrent. Cette seconde édition a
été étendue afin de couvrir les livres et les publications en série électroniques aussi bien qu'imprimés, ainsi
que les bases de données électroniques.
La difficulté de contrôler le montant des crédits consacrés annuellement aux acquisitions est un problème
bien connu des bibliothèques.
Si les bibliothèques n'acquéraient en général que de documents sur un seul support matériel, uniquement
d'origine nationale, et si elles avaient des budgets stables, les problèmes de contrôle budgétaire des
documents des bibliothèques seraient très simples. Telle n'est pas cependant la situation. Les bibliothèques
doivent maintenant faire face à des informations d'une plus grande diversité qu'auparavant et provenant de
sources internationales. Cette inflation dans le monde de l'information est accompagnée d'évolutions
économiques générales qui semblent entraîner une réduction et une instabilité des budgets des bibliothèques.
Dans ces circonstances le besoin d'une gestion efficace des bibliothèques s'accroît et avec elle, la nécessité
de disposer d'outils à cet effet. Le recours à des indices de prix n'est, bien sûr, qu'un élément des pratiques
de gestion des bibliothèques, mais un élément néanmoins nécessaire à un contrôle budgétaire pertinent. Les
Indices Nationaux des Prix ne servent pas uniquement à l'établissement des budgets mais également aux
négociations entre fournisseurs et éditeurs.
Les indices de prix ne se rapportent pas seulement à la production nationale, mais aux documents d'origines
nationale et internationale, utilisés par les bibliothèques. L'intention n'est pas que les indices de prix construits
selon cette méthode remplacent de quelque façon que ce soit, les indices généraux des prix à la
consommation ou les indices spécifiques définis par le commerce. Cependant, les indices ne peuvent être
normalement considérés pertinents que dans un environnement spécifique. L'expérience qui a conduit à
l'élaboration de la présente Norme internationale résulte de la difficulté d'appliquer à la gestion de
bibliothèques des indices d'origine externe.
Il est aisé de concevoir les difficultés de collecte des prix quand on considère l'arrière-plan international de la
majeure partie des tâches de bibliothèque et d'information qui peut concerner de nombreux pays et monnaies.
La présente Norme internationale est censée être un outil reconnu pour la gestion des bibliothèques.
Il a été nécessaire d'appliquer certaines limites au champ de la présente Norme internationale.
Bien que les bibliothèques dans la plupart des pays consacrent la majeure partie de leurs ressources
financières aux imprimés (livres et journaux), les collections de documents électroniques dont l'utilisation peut
s'avérer plus grande, s'accroissent. La priorité entre ces deux types peut différer d'une bibliothèque à l'autre,
mais ils sont traités ensemble dans la présente Norme internationale. De plus en plus, les bibliothèques
