"The immediate goal for RLG's "RedLightGreen" project (formerly known as
the Union Catalog on the Web) is to offer rich, reliable library
information that is unique in the Web environment and to deliver that
information in ways that meet the expectations of Web-savvy users."

"RedLightGreen at a glance

Goal: To help students find authoritative sources for research
information, by leveraging data contained within the RLG Union Catalog

Intended users: Undergraduate students

Interface: Publicly accessible Web site

Underlying data: 126 million bibliographic records representing 42
million titles

Technologies used: IBM DB2, XML, Recommind MindServer

Pilot deployment: Scheduled for fall 2003"

"Responding to new expectations in this environment, libraries, archives,
and museums have begun asserting their role in the information discovery
process, rethinking and repositioning their traditional toolthe catalog.
In 2002, RLG began working to reinvent and transfer its largest
bibliographic database, the RLG Union Catalog, to the open Web environment
in a completely new way.

This database was formed by the collaborative contributions of RLG member
institutions. The wealth of information and worldwide scope of the 23-year
old catalog (over 40 million descriptions of books, maps, films,
recordings, and manuscripts from 300 countries, in over 370 languages)
make it a tremendous potential resource for an enormous Web audienceas it
has long been for the students and scholars at subscribing libraries and
research centers."

In all, this search produced 484 citations.

Judging, from this search alone, I would not consider this tool as one
limited to undergraduate use. This would be beneficial for high school
students as well. Going the other direction, forget graduate students,
this tool will benefit faculty and teacher research and be a tremendous
boon to the graduate student, of course.

To further illustrate the value of this tremendous tool, here is a full
record as a sample of this database's contents from the search above:
