*** UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JOINS REDLIGHTGREEN PARTNERS ***
RLG's Mellon-funded project code-named "RedLightGreen" is moving forward to pilot use. The entire RLG Union Catalog (except for the serials and archival-and-mixed-materials files) has been converted to RedLightGreen format and loaded into the database that will be at the heart of the system.
The University of Minnesota will join Swarthmore, NYU, and Columbia in testing how their undergraduates will react to a freely available and custom-tailored version of RLG's union catalog. The RedLightGreen database and discovery system will be promoted on the partner-testers' campuses during the upcoming academic semester.
For more information on this project, which has great potential to transform online catalog use, see http://www.rlg.org/redlightgreen/ and contact Merrilee dot Proffitt at notes dot rlg dot org.
