Special issue of NISO Information Standards Quarterly on Organization and People Identifiers

From Cynthia Hodgson, ISQ Managing Editor:

The Summer 2011 issue of NISO’s Information Standards Quarterly magazine is now available in open access in PDF from the NISO website. Guest Content Editor, Helen Henderson, Managing Director at Information Power Ltd. has assembled an excellent overview of the major standards and initiative on the special issue theme of Organization and People Identifiers. As she states in her introductory letter: “Identifiers have always been essential standards in libraries and publishing. Content identifiers, such as the ISBN, are well established, but institutional and personal identifiers are much newer, the need having emerged as more and more content is available electronically.”

Both the entire issue and individual articles may be freely downloaded. Visit: http://www.niso.org/publications/isq/2011/v23no3/
