The ISBD for Manifestation Task Force can now present a first draft of the ISBDM. This draft will be the basis for a review process, which will be a step-by-step procedure outlined below.

ISBDM review phase plan

  1. ISBDM Task Force Review (from mid July until the end of September 2023)
  2. ISBD Review Group Review (beginning of November until end of December 2023)
  3. Experts Review (from mid February until mid April 2024)

ISBDM review phase completion

The World-wide review response submission is now closed. The ISBD Review Group and the ISBD for Manifestation Task Force have received 8 responses containing feedback about the draft ISBD for Manifestation (ISBDM). The Task Force has started to look at and process the responses, and will incorporate relevant feedback to the draft ISBDM as soon as possible. 

After an initial check, the Task Force did not see anything in the feedback delaying the planned submission of the ISBDM to the internal IFLA standards approval process in fall 2024, before its publication planned at the end of 2024, or beginning of 2025.
