Developed nationally, delivered locally: taking forward the Resource Discovery Network

Abstract

Following an introduction describing the history of Resource Discovery Network “RDN”, the authors look to the future, particularly the RDN’s relationship to subject librarians’ activity in developing local lists of web links. Research showing the considerable overlap in content between the RDN and such lists is presented and, in the context of a future strategy for offering RDN content through local institutional interfaces, initial developments using XML as well as future plans in this area are outlined.
