Contribute to the development of a Registry of Copyright Evidence
The work undertaken by RLG Partner institutions for this project was an early step in contributing to the development of the Registry of Copyright Evidence. This registry will ultimately lead to the creation of a consistent, accepted process for libraries, archives and museums to gain permission to provide access to high-risk or specialcollection materials.

Terminology Services
A team at OCLC Research is putting the finishing touches on an experimental web services environment for controlled vocabularies that will support: search for a concept/heading in a controlled vocabulary; retrieval of a single vocabulary record by its identifier; return of search results in vocabulary records in HTML, MARC XML, Zthes 1.0, and SKOS; search using SRU CQL syntax.
