These standards and guidelines, which build upon previous editions, are intended to help LC/NLS network libraries serving the blind and physically handicapped maintain the best service levels for eligible individuals and organizations. The goal is to provide appropriate service standards for the development, deployment, and evolution of LC/NLS network library services and activities, including direct patron services, collection development and management, outreach efforts, the production of local materials, and more. The addition of the section on BARD is a major addition to this edition as well as changes to staffing guidelines which are more in line with the current reality of staffing levels at the network libraries.
