Project Briefing: Spring 2004 Task Force Meeting
----------

 

RedLightGreen Update

Merrilee Proffitt
Program Officer, Member Initiatives
RLG, Inc.


One year ago, RLG was preparing to launch RedLightGreen, a free online service based on the records in the RLG Union Catalog aimed at college undergraduates and optimized to provide access to a wealth of high quality, trusted, print resources through a simple, easy-to-use interface. At the Spring 2003 CNI Task Force Meeting, we gave a presentation that highlighted use of FRBR, MARC in XML, data mining, user studies, and future directions. Now, with a full semester and more of academic trial use, further user studies, and with continued funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, RLG will report on:

  • Who's using the system, and how?
  • Further findings from extended user studies, and how user studies have specifically influenced interface design and helped dictate future directions for the service
  • How institutions can join an expanded partnership for RedLightGreen - for free
  • Planned future directions for the service
