International collaboration permeates all RLG actions.
Members develop protocols to accommodate international traffic and expedite delivery.
With the ILL manager, members will be able to request and deliver documents across platforms while tracking all transactions with all partners. RLG provides access to holdings of major European libraries in the same format as bibliographic records stored in the RLIN union catalog. RLG offers centralized access to dispersed archival collection guides, which can in turn link to digital materials. RLG's Archival Resources service, released in September 1998, indexes finding aids stored on servers worldwide. RLG is developing best practices for long-term retention of digital materials through a series of symposia and international working groups involving RLG members.
