| Abstract: | Paul Evan Peters begins his discussion of library standards with a convincing argument that the acceptance by librarians of
the need for order and standards is not a character flaw. Rather, in promoting the use of standards, librarians are efficiently
forwarding their missions to build and organize collections and to make them accessible to their clients. Pointing out the
economic realities of contemporary libraries, Peters further argues that standards are appealing because they help librarians
to control costs.

Organization and principal representative of the American Library Association to Accredited Standards Committee X3 (Information
