Library Cataloging
RedLightGreen
RLG's RedLightGreen (formerly known as the Union Catalog Project) is now online.
To simplify record retrieval for Web users, RLG has adapted the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records established by the International Federation of Library Associations and the Library of Congress, which distinguishes between a work, an expression, a manifestation, and an item. Data manipulation using this approach will aggregate what can be an overwhelming number of editions into a manageable set of works that match a user's search terms.
