Information and documentation -- Determination of price indexes for print and electronic media purchased by libraries

This International Standard 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.
NOTE Further details are given in 2.2 and 3.1.
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. This International Standard
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 this International Standard 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 sp�cifie une m�thode de d�termination d'indices de prix relatifs aux documents imprim�s et �lectroniques acquis par les biblioth�ques. Elle n'est pas destin�e au calcul d'un indice de prix de la production nationale des documents. Les documents vis�s sont limit�s aux livres, aux publications en s�rie et aux bases de donn�es.
Elle est destin�e � l'usage de la communaut� des biblioth�ques, bien qu'il soit convenu que d'autres organismes puissent la trouver utile. Elle met l'accent sur la constitution d'indices de prix fond�s sur des sources nationales et internationales, pertinentes pour un pays ou une r�gion et pour diff�rentes cat�gories de biblioth�ques. Des indices diff�rents seront appropri�s � des cat�gories diff�rentes de biblioth�ques, selon les cat�gories de documents pr�sentes dans leurs collections. La pr�sente Norme internationale d�crit une m�thode permettant d'�tablir un indice g�n�ral calcul� � partir de sous-ensembles de donn�es et de le pond�rer en fonction des besoins locaux. Elle introduit des m�thodes d'�chantillonnage pour le choix des documents servant au calcul.
Il est � noter que l'ISO 9230:2007 d�crit des indices de prix et non des co�ts. Des indices de co�t local peuvent �tre constitu�s � la place des indices de prix l� o� la structure des prix n'est pas assez uniforme pour permettre le calcul d'indices de prix ou bien � titre d'outil compl�mentaire pour les biblioth�ques.

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.
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.
ISO 9230 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 8, Quality — Statistics and performance evaluation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9230:1991), which has been technically revised.

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.

3 Presentation
3.1 General
To prevent confusion the following overall presentation should be used. In this presentation, monographic
series are included in the definition of monographs (2.15), and series of regular conference proceedings,
yearbooks and annuals are included in the definition of periodicals (2.19). This is in line with the definitions
given in ISO 2789.
If other presentations are given the actual choice should be stated.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
ISO 9230:2007(E)
3.2 Preferred presentation
The preferred presentation is as follows:
a) monograph/book index (including monographic series):
1) in print form;
2) in electronic form (eBooks);
b) serials index:
1) newspapers:
i) in print form;
ii) in electronic form;
2) periodicals (including series for regular conference proceedings and annuals):
i) in print form;
ii) in electronic form;
c) databases index.
3.3 Geographical coverage
Price indexes relate to documents (books, serials or databases) published in a single country of origin, and
should be initially calculated in the currency units of that country. Libraries acquiring material from more than
one country may aggregate the separate indexes for those countries into a single index for local use using
appropriate weighting factors and currency exchange rates.
Titles published in more than one country shall be included in the indexes for each country in which they are
published. Titles sold worldwide from a single published source shall be included in the index only for the
country of publication.
4 Structure of price
4.1 General
The price index deals with prices requested by publishers, not the payment made by customers. Payment
made by the customer can be identical with the price requested by the publisher, but can differ because of
special agreements (e.g. deduction within large scale purchases), special offers (e.g. for members of a society,
for students), or different prices for different methods of ordering and payment.
NOTE The costs of acquiring materials, e.g. postage, payment fees, are excluded.
4.2 Price differences
The same title can be offered in different countries with different prices (e.g. US books, journals, or databases
may be offered at a higher price in Europe than in USA). For a national price index, the local price should be
calculated.
Prices (level and development) can vary according to subject or category. Publishers often classify their
publications into these groups.
6 © ISO 2007 – All rights reserved

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 9230:2007(E)
Prices for online access to digital material for libraries, educational institutions, etc. may differ according to the
size and type of the institution (e.g. number of students and / or researchers).
4.3 Prices for books
4.3.1 Print or microform books
The same title of a printed book can have different prices according to format:
⎯ hardcover edition;
⎯ paperback (soft cover) edition;
⎯ microform;
⎯ book club edition.
Books can be printed for stock or can be printed on demand.
Books can be offered as part of a subscription or within a membership of a book club.
4.3.2 eBooks
An eBook title may be offered in various formats for different readers. Prices may or may not vary according to
formats.
eBooks can be sold as single titles or as bundles (collections for education or professional interest, e.g. law
collection). The prices of bundles are dealt with under prices of databases.
eBooks can be offered as part of a subscription or within a membership of a book club.
For libraries, eBooks can be licensed with an agreement on special arrangement (e.g. pay-per-view for a
certain time period, permission to offer a certain number of time limited accesses, permission to offer a certain
number of concurrent users). Formats can be either online access or download to readers.
4.4 Prices for serials
4.4.1 General
Serials are published in paper, microform, and/or digital format.
Prices may vary according to use, i.e. either personal bona fide use or library use. For personal use there may
be a price differentiation for different groups (e.g. students).
Subscription prices (postage and handling excluded) are often lower than buying the single issues one by one.
The most common price offers are:
⎯ print edition only;
⎯ print edition with online access rights;
⎯ online only.

ISO 9230:2007(E)
4.4.2 Licensing prices
eJournals are often licensed, not bought, and online access to a licensed issue expires if the license is not
renewed. Permanent access to eJournals depends on the license as follows.
⎯ Customers may receive rough data and store the eJournal on their own server but without the search
interface of the publisher.
⎯ Customers may use the licensed material on the publisher’s server paying a small additional fee.
⎯ For personal use the customer may also print the licensed journal and thus keep the content, but in
another format and without the services of the online edition.
Access to eJournals is licensed for a well-defined group of authorised users (e.g. defined by IP-addresses),
and license prices may differ depending on the size and status of the group.
4.4.3 Bundling of titles — Consortia prices
eJournals can be offered in bundles (all serials of one publisher, subjects). Prices of such bundles can differ
for single libraries or for national, regional or other consortia. The price of a bundle will in most cases be lower
than the sum of the list prices of the licensed journals. Consortia can also bargain for cross access (access to
journals subscribed to by members of the c

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.
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.
ISO 9230 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 46, Information and documentation, Subcommittee
SC 8, Quality — Statistics and performance evaluation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9230:1991), which has been technically revised.

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.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9230:2007(E)

Information and documentation — Determination of price
indexes for print and electronic media purchased by libraries
1 Scope
This International Standard 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.
NOTE Further details are given in 2.2 and 3.1.
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. This International Standard
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 this International Standard 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.

3.2 Preferred presentation
The preferred presentation is as follows:
a) monograph/book index (including monographic series):
1) in print form;
2) in electronic form (eBooks);
b) serials index:
1) newspapers:
i) in print form;
ii) in electronic form;
2) periodicals (including series for regular conference proceedings and annuals):
i) in print form;
ii) in electronic form;
c) databases index.
3.3 Geographical coverage
Price indexes relate to documents (books, serials or databases) published in a single country of origin, and
should be initially calculated in the currency units of that country. Libraries acquiring material from more than
one country may aggregate the separate indexes for those countries into a single index for local use using
appropriate weighting factors and currency exchange rates.
Titles published in more than one country shall be included in the indexes for each country in which they are
published. Titles sold worldwide from a single published source shall be included in the index only for the
country of publication.
4 Structure of price
4.1 General
The price index deals with prices requested by publishers, not the payment made by customers. Payment
made by the customer can be identical with the price requested by the publisher, but can differ because of
special agreements (e.g. deduction within large scale purchases), special offers (e.g. for members of a society,
for students), or different prices for different methods of ordering and payment.
NOTE The costs of acquiring materials, e.g. postage, payment fees, are excluded.
4.2 Price differences
The same title can be offered in different countries with different prices (e.g. US books, journals, or databases
may be offered at a higher price in Europe than in USA). For a national price index, the local price should be
calculated.
Prices (level and development) can vary according to subject or category. Publishers often classify their
publications into these groups.

SIST ISO 9230:2014
ISO 9230:2007(E)
Prices for online access to digital material for libraries, educational institutions, etc. may differ according to the
size and type of the institution (e.g. number of students and / or researchers).
4.3 Prices for books
4.3.1 Print or microform books
The same title of a printed book can have different prices according to format:
⎯ hardcover edition;
⎯ paperback (soft cover) edition;
⎯ microform;
⎯ book club edition.
Books can be printed for stock or can be printed on demand.
Books can be offered as part of a subscription or within a membership of a book club.
4.3.2 eBooks
An eBook title may be offered in various formats for different readers. Prices may or may not vary according to
formats.
eBooks can be sold as single titles or as bundles (collections for education or professional interest, e.g. law
collection). The prices of bundles are dealt with under prices of databases.
eBooks can be offered as part of a subscription or within a membership of a book club.
For libraries, eBooks can be licensed with an agreement on special arrangement (e.g. pay-per-view for a
certain time period, permission to offer a certain number of time limited accesses, permission to offer a certain
number of concurrent users). Formats can be either online access or download to readers.
4.4 Prices for serials
4.4.1 General
Serials are published in paper, microform, and/or digital format.
Prices may vary according to use, i.e. either personal bona fide use or library use. For personal use there may
be a price differentiation for different groups (e.g. students).
Subscription prices (postage and handling excluded) are often lower than buying the single issues one by one.
The most common price offers are:
⎯ print edition only;
⎯ print edition with online access rights;
⎯ online only.

ISO 9230:2007(F)
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
acquièrent d'importantes collections électroniques, et l'un des raisons clés de la révision de la présente
Norme internationale a été d'y ajouter des méthodes appropriées à un éventail de documents numériques. La
présente Norme internationale couvre donc les livres et les publications en série sous les formes imprimée et
électronique ainsi que les bases de données. Il a été décidé de continuer à exclure de la présente Norme
internationale des critères pouvant servir à établir des indices de prix pour d'autres types de supports
matériels. La nécessité de traiter de ces autres supports matériels n'est pas sous-estimée dans la présente
Norme internationale. Ils en ont cependant été exclus afin de mener la tâche commencée à son terme.
À l'avenir, à la lumière de l'expérience acquise, toute révision ou enrichissement de la présente Norme
internationale pourrait comprendre ces autres supports matériels.

NORME INTERNATIONALE ISO 9230:2007(F)

Information et documentation — Détermination des indices de
prix pour les documents imprimés et électroniques acquis par
les bibliothèques
1 Domaine d'application
La présente Norme internationale 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.
NOTE De plus amples détails sont donnés en 2.2 et en 3.1.
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 la présente Norme internationale 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.
Des lignes directrices pour le calcul d'indices de coût local, sont données dans l'Annexe B.

ISO 9230:2007(F)
3.2 Présentation recommandée
La présentation recommandée est la suivante:
a) indice des monographies/livres (collections de monographies comprises):
1) sous forme imprimée;
2) sous forme électronique (livres électroniques);
b) indice des publications en série:
1) journaux:
i) sous forme imprimée;
ii) sous forme électronique;
2) périodiques (y compris les collections d'actes de colloques à parution régulière et les annuels):
i) sous forme imprimée;
ii) sous forme électronique;
c) indice des bases de données.
3.3 Couverture géographique
Les indices de prix concernent des documents (livres, publications en série ou bases de données) publiés
dans un seul pays d'origine et il convient de les calculer d'abord dans la devise de ce pays. Les bibliothèques
achetant des documents originaires de plusieurs pays peuvent agréger les indices propres à ces pays dans
un indice unique d'usage local en utilisant des pondérations appropriées et le taux de change des devises.
Les titres publiés dans plusieurs pays doivent être compris dans les indices de chaque pays où ils sont
publiés. Les titres vendus dans le monde par un seul éditeur doivent être compris uniquement dans l'indice du
pays de publication.
4 Structure des prix
4.1 Généralités
L'indice des prix traite des prix demandés par les éditeurs, non du paiement effectué par les clients. Le
paiement effectué par les clients peut être identique au prix demandé par l'éditeur mais il peut différer en
raison d'accords particuliers (par exemple remise pour achats en nombre), d'offres spéciales (par exemple
pour les membres d'une association, des étudiants) ou de prix différents pour différents modes de commande
