SIBID standards at the beginning of the XXI century: Renovation and expansion of information

Abstract

The current Russian national and interstate standards on information, librarianship and publishing (SIBID), their connection with the previous standards are explored. The article opens with the deployed preamble to the List of standards, which gives information about the methodological decisions taken and determines the mandatory and optional elements to be used in records. The List of standards consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to the national standards of the Russian Federation, and the second part - to the interstate and other applicable SIBID standards. National standards provide an optimal set of description areas and elements to reflect national standards in catalogs and bibliographic publications, but interstate standards also allow for brief records. We also consider the impact of the Russian national and interstate standards on information, librarianship and publishing, their connection with the previous standards.
