Standards are "living" documents and because up to 15% of them change every year, it is very difficult and time-consuming to ensure a collection is up-to-date. Standards On-Line Premium (Library) is a tailored service designed specifically for Public Libraries in Australia. This Service is ideal for NSW Council Libraries when the sheer size and cost of purchasing and maintaining individual Australian Standards is difficult to manage, and provides the most efficient, trouble-free way to maintain a collection of Australian Standards on behalf of their residents.
