ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries F ebru ary 1983 / 47 • Y a l e U n i v e r s i t y has been awarded a Title II-C grant of $400,000 by the U.S. Office of Education to undertake a joint project with Cornell and Stan­ ford University Libraries, the Hoover Institution, and the Research Libraries Group. The goal is to design and implement enhancements to RLIN that will fa cilita te the acquisition, cataloging, and management of manuscript and archival materi­ als. The development of a standard bibliographic exchange format will enable Cornell.

Project activities in 1983 will include determining cataloging stan­ dards; establishing guidelines for authority con­ trol: and producing user documentation for dis­ semination to other RLG institutions.
