Standards Activities

More than 60 OCLC staff contribute time and effort to support standards-related bodies and activities.

Much of the work on standards takes place through various initiatives, working groups and task forces, some of which report to associations and organizations (such as the American Library Association) whose main mission may or may not be focused on the development of standards.
