# RLG Programs at Art Libraries Society of North America annual conference Date & Location: April 26 -30, Atlanta, Georgia. Events: Friday, April 27, 3:30-5:00pm – RLG Programs Round Table The RLG Programs Roundtable provides a forum for exposition and q & a on the emerging Programs agenda. Since the RLG/OCLC combination, RLG Programs has found its home in OCLC Programs & Research, where the community expertise of programs staff and the technological capability of research staff provides fertile ground for cutting-edge projects. Highlights of the agenda: We talked about a project to analyze the bibliographic collections of four major NYC art museum libraries—how do their collections overlap and diverge? We discussed a project to enable better sharing of art museum descriptive records and digital images—what standards, techniques and tools can provide better access to museum collections, and who is starting to use them? We got an update on on the SHARES technical transition from Dennis Massie; he also discussed a vision of the future where SHARES is less about interlending software and more about expanding the kinds of collaborative activities that bring SHARES partners together. And as if that weren't enough, for those of you who wanted to hear about the integration of RLG databases into the OCLC environment, Glenn Patton (Director of WorldCat Quality Management) presented on progress migrating the RLG Union Catalog and SCIPIO. The traditional round-robin wrapup capped the meeting. Presenters: Günter Waibel, RLG Programs, OCLC Dennis Massie, RLG Programs, OCLC Glenn Patton, OCLC Ken Soehner, Thomas J.
