The Guide to the Library Binding Institute Standard for Library Binding was published in 1990 preserving controversies and compromises of the day. In 2006, it was decided to harmonize its numbering system with the new battery of standards. It turned out that nearly all the concerns raised then have since been resolved. So a substantial revision was undertaken, and the new guide reflects current best practice for librarians and collection managers. There is no index.

The study of ethics, essential for effective acquisitions librarians and collection managers, is largely missing from standard library science curriculum. New library professionals must learn about ethics in librarianship on the job, supplemented by reading, attending conferences, and participating in webinars. Guide to Ethics in Acquisitions provides an historical perspective on ethics related to acquisitions of library materials and gives practical examples of situations that require thoughtful consideration of ethical behavior. Ethical issues include: 
<ul>
<li>conflict of interest,</li>
<li>vendor relations,</li>
<li>intellectual freedom,</li>
<li>access, and</li>
<li>privacy.</li>
</ul>The Guide also examines <ul>
<li>different ethical codes in librarianship, </li>
<li>how these codes have evolved to reflect the changes in library practice, and </li>
<li>how they impact acquisitions and related activities.</li>
</ul>While the primary focus is on acquisitions, some of these ethical issues have direct impact on the larger collection management of the library. Consequently, the Guide also examines a collection management perspective, but only insofar as it is related to acquisitions. Written from the perspective of an academic library, the Guide to Ethics in Acquisitions can easily be used by those working in other types of libraries, such as school, public, or special.

While most of us are generally unaware how critical they are, standards make twenty-first century libraries, information services, and publications of all kinds work. In this environment, everyone working with systems, circulation, resource sharing, digital initiatives, preservation, collections or special collections, and even public services can benefit from learning more about standards. An improved understanding of standards, on which librarians rely, will lead to greater application and adoption of these technologies. By better understanding how standards are developed, more librarians can turn to the standards process when they have ideas for how to improve their work. The Critical Component: Standards in the Information Exchange Environment paints a complete picture of information standards in 11 chapters and 9 case studies, which provide: 
<ul>
<li>an overview of standards and their benefits to libraries and other cultural organizations</li>
<li>the process of developing, approving, and maintaining formal standards</li>
<li>players in the information landscape</li>
<li>basic standards concepts</li>
<li>specific purposes of standards, including identifiers, description, discoverability, and preservation</li>
<li>an overview of how new standards are marketed and adopted</li>
<li>ways that individuals can get involved in standards work</li>
<li>a look at the future of standards</li>
</ul>The ongoing educational, research, and entertainment missions of libraries and other cultural organizations rely on standards that underlie interoperability and data exchange, unique identifiers and authority control, ontologies, barcodes, patron management, resource sharing, discovery, web-based services, software, digital collections, preservation, metadata management, bibliographic control, and resource layout. Greater understanding of and appreciation for these information standards that permeate our work and our institutions will only help us and our institutions.
