Technical Committee 46 «Information and Documentation» of the International Standard Organization (ISO/TC 46) is published. Even a short description of ISO/TC 46 activities visually demonstrates what incredible and truly revolutionary changes happened during the last 60 years in the library, documentation and information work. The modern ISO/TC 46 structure is given, the work trends of its four subcommittees and numerous working groups, the interaction with other ISO technical committees and international organizations is characterized. Importance of standardization problems in the field of library and information science and of librarianship, in particularly, is confirmed by the authors’ practical work lasting for many year. The proposed information permits to better imagine the preparation process of the international standards and necessity of Russian specialists’ participation.
