address all aspects of an I&R service’s operation including service
delivery, the resource database, reports and measures, cooperative
relationships and organizational requirements. They define the
information and referral process in concrete terms, establish criteria
for database development, mandate support for community planning
activities, incorporate a broad view of collaboration at the local,
state or provincial, regional and national levels and include provisions
for the socially responsible use of technology. The National 2-1-1
Initiative and U.S. Administration on Aging have adopted the basic
concepts in the Standards for I&R for older persons, as has the U.S.
military for staff in their Family Services/Support Centers.
