RLG's RedLightGreen Project
RLG is looking at a user friendly interface to the union catalog.
The RedLightGreen project is a whole new way of thinking about library catalogs. Catalogs today are optimized for inventory control and transaction management - not necessarily information discovery. By taking the large, multi-institution database that is the RLG Union Catalog, and mining it for conceptual relationships and holdings data, RedLightGreen aims beyond what both catalogs and Internet search engines can provide.
