*** Third Member Advisor Joins Web Catalog Project ***
Last month I reported further on our Mellon-funded Union Catalog on the Web project. We're happy to announce that Columbia University has joined New York University and Swarthmore College as an active partner. In the next few weeks we will be adding more information to the project Web page (http://www.rlg.org/ucw.html) about what we've learned from work to date. If you have questions or comments about this project, please contact Merrilee dot Proffitt at notes dot rlg.org.
From RLG EXECUTIVE BRIEFING, February 2003
*** Union Catalog on the Web -- What's That Code Name? ***
Many members have been intrigued and want to know more about how RLG is approaching the presentation of the union catalog as a general Web resource, and we have wanted to share more of what we're learning in this project. Recently we recast the RLG Web page (now at http://www.rlg.org/redlightgreen/index.html). You'll find new illustrations there of the developing interface's screen design and new information in a January 2003 report called "Mining the Catalog" (at http://www.rlg.org/redlightgreen/mining.html). As you'll quickly see, in the Web site we've adopted the working name from the pilot interface -- RedLightGreen -- to capture attention and save some syllables. I hope you'll spend some time with this additional detail about the project and send any questions and comments to Merrilee dot Proffitt at notes dot rlg.org.
