Overview
The Normalization Rules Standing Group (NRSG) works under the auspices of the Alliance Shared Content and Technical Services Program. It is composed of staff from Alliance libraries with expertise in discovery, cataloging, and metadata. The NRSG develops normalization rules that enable Primo VE to effectively display the metadata from Alliance MARC records.
