Our latest official news
RLG's RedLightGreen is now mid-way through its pilot year. I want to let you know about recent improvements we have made and new information available to you for communicating about this project with your community of users.
As you know, RedLightGreen launched as a live system in September 2003 at www.redlightgreen.com, and is moving into its second semester of testing. More members will be joining the effort to investigate future directions and promote awareness of the resource. Current pilot partners are Columbia University, New York University, Princeton University, Swarthmore College, and the University of Minnesota.
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded RLG additional funding to continue development and to ensure availability of the service at no cost to users through September 2004.
Promotional texts and graphics are now freely available to any library for promoting RedLightGreen on its campus. We invite you to create links to RedLightGreen and use these materials in any way you'd like for reaching the widest possible audience. Just click the Information for Librarians link within RedLightGreen.
Other news about the system:
RedLightGreen now has an additional 1.5 million records, providing even
more material for users to "search, find, and get."
The interface has been redesigned with a new color palette to give it a
more updated look and feel.
The new "Your List" feature enables students to create a citation list
that is persistent across sessions.
This spring we will be conducting studies with registered users from
partner campuses to prioritize continued improvements based on what
they most value and desire.
We are always interested in hearing about your experience using RedLightGreen. Let us know via the feedback link within the system, or contact RLG program officer Merrilee.Proffitt@notes.rlg.org.
