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
