It is not clear to me why ISO 28560-2 is being proposed and not ISO 28560-3. It is my understanding that there are very few libraries in the US currently using the first, and there are hundreds of libraries using the latter, with millions of ISO 28560-3 encoded tags currently in use. I understand that our system, and likely many others will not have a major problem in accommodating both data formats, but I do not understand why libraries should have to make such changes when the -3 (Danish model) has proven so effective and is in such wide spread deployment.
Submitter Proposed Solution
Allow for the ongoing use of the ISO 28560-3 within the proposed NISO standard.
