The Fall 2011 issue of NISO’s Information Standards Quarterly magazine is now available in open access in PDF from the NISO website. In this issue of ISQ, we provide several specific examples of the benefits of implementing standards, ranging from savings in staff time to improved customer service and a way to attract new customers. Specific case studies are included for the NISO Circulation Interchange Protocol (NCIP), the Standardized Usage Statistics Harvesting Initiative (SUSHI), and the Shared Electronic Resource Understanding (SERU).
