<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1311453, member: 26302"]But that is the entire purpose of having a standard. I look up stuff on the internet and find wrong information all of the time. There is no review process on so many internet posts, its easy to get wrong information. This is the continuing value of standards which have been vetted by experts. The second reason a Krause will always be needed is for numbering and having a common nomenclature. A third reason is websites can change at the whim of the owner. How would you like to organize your collection on a website for 15 years, and then one day they reorganize, renumbered, and reattributed a lot of the material?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry but I do not see the need for standard references ever going away.
