He helped develop the CONSER Standard Record, which has come to be the foundation for other PCC standard records. Dr. Jones was a key member of the RDA Steering Committee’s Aggregates Working Group, and he chaired that group’s Serials Task Force.
Dr. Jones’s publications and conference presentations are both theoretical and practical. He is a highly regarded leader in the serials community and beyond, and his many contributions to the field have had lasting impact.
