As of December 22nd.<br><br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><b>January
2005:</b> RLG releases test versions of the RLIN21 client for RLIN SCIPIO
contributors and for RLIN NACO contributors. <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><b>January
28:</b> <b>End date for <i>all</i> bibliographic record retrieval and
input using RLIN Terminal for Windows.</b> RLIN NACO contributors
<i>only</i> continue to use RLIN Terminal for Windows software past this
date to create, update, and submit name authority records in the LC/NACO
Authority File (NAF). <br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><b>February
1:</b> RLG database users begin searching the newly migrated databases,
and all users who enter records directly in the RLG Union Catalog and
SCIPIO begin working in the migrated databases with the RLIN21 client.
<br>
<font face="Symbol">·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><b>Later
in February:</b> RLIN NACO contributors all switch to using the RLIN21
client with the newly migrated authority file—becoming <i>RLIN21</i> NACO
contributors.</blockquote></body>
