RLG to Merge with OCLC

Though I am watching this with interest, I'm not overly concerned about the how-will-it-affect-us issues. It's probably a good thing for us, if OCLC makes good use of RLG innovations like RedLightGreen. Were we RLG members, I'd be more concerned, as it sounds like they are the ones set to be "absorbed." It's not a done deal, the RLG member institutions have to vote on and approve the decision by June 7, but it sounds like it's going to go down.
