  Digital Initiatives of the Research Libraries Group
RLG membership is open to any not-for-profit institution with an educational, cultural, or scientific mission and a commitment to improving access to research materials.
RLG has launched a project called "the FAST track to improving access to archival collections." This project is training staff in the field in the use of SGML to encode their finding aids and will result in a central point of access to internationally held archival collections.
RLG is pursuing international collaboration by embracing globally scattered partners and learning how to incorporate international initiatives that build collections of research materials without regard for their physical location.

 Dublin Core Metadata in the RLG Information Landscape
Erway described some of the responsive RLG member projects to create digital content, and articulate and promulgate digital standards or "best practices." She also discussed the Arches infrastructure[4], RLG's approach to meeting many of the challenges to information management posed by the Internet environment, such as persistent naming, document authentication, licensing, document display, and security.
RLG continues to work on a wide variety of digital initiatives[5], with the goal of providing access to digital content through a Web-based "umbrella interface" that will draw upon all the components of Arches functionality and allow nearly seamless integration of diverse RLG databases as well as a wealth of remote resources.
As RLG pursues its digital initiatives it is keeping the Dublin Core elements in focus, closely monitoring applications such as that proposed in the CIMI Metadata Test Bed[17], which will evaluate the use of the Dublin Core for museum data.

RLG member representatives had numerous opportunities to learn more about the proposal and to have their questions answered through a variety of channels leading up to a vote by RLG member institutions.

 RLG Authority Record Assistant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Currently, if you pass or put a record, the bib record will be passed/put unless you have moved to the authorities module and found your record.
RLG is aware that this is not necessarily the desirable result but did not promise any quick fix.
It was suggested that a Reformat command would be helpful to redisplay the generated authority record before it is entered (since the active authorities window closes when you enter, it is not currently possible to enter and then redisplay the record with field rearrangement, etc.).

 Research Libraries Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Based in Mountain View, California, RLG was founded by a group of major research libraries and museums in 1974, 2 years after another library consortium, OCLC, was founded.
A major motivation for RLG’s establishment was dissatisfaction among research institutions with OCLC’s record keeping.
In May 2006, RLG announced that it will merge with OCLC; its catalog will become part of OCLC's WorldCat, and its current programs will become a new OCLC division, to be operated out of the existing Mountain View office.

The Permanent Committee on Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality asked the Minister of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality to carry out an evaluation, in collaboration with the Council on Animal Affairs, of the situation last winter in relation to the red deer, cattle and horses in the Oostvaardersplassen.
The Minister requested that the advice be based in part on data from the State Forest Service and that it should in any case examine the relationship between ecological management of the populations of Heck cattle, Konik horses and red deer on the one hand, and animal welfare on the other.

It’s mindblowing to think that RLG employees did not find out any sooner than the rest of us, and that either organization has yet to consult its members.
However, RLG plans to do so, but it will be interesting to see how this pans out.
I think it is ironic that RLG (founded in 1974) is based in the same town as Google (founded in 1998).

 Tony Gill's Blog: RLG and OCLC to merge   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Both RLG and OCLC are often known as "library utilities," because they provide products and services to libraries around the World -- most notably the "union catalogues," massively aggregated bibliographic databases with hundreds of millions of records about the book holdings of libraries everywhere.
The part of RLG that I used to work for, Member Programs, will continue as RLG-Programs, a division of OCLC Programs and Research.
I'm sure there are many good and valid business reasons for this merger, many of which are set out in the press release, "RLG to combine with OCLC." Still, for the library world, it feels a bit like the equivalent of Apple and Microsoft merging.
