[WEB4LIB] RE: Open Worldcat News

[Roy Tennant]

I haven't seen anyone jump in on this message, so I guess I will. I 
think RedLightGreen is brilliant, and I often use it as an example of 
excellent system design when I speak. In particular, I find it is very 
useful to illustrate the concepts of FRBR (Functional Requirements of 
Bibliographic Records). The team at RLG should be congratulated for 
leading the way in this important and ground-breaking endeavor. Am I 
gushing? I sure hope so.
