CatSIG Professional Development Seminar, July 2007
CatSIG is pleased to announce a one day seminar with an exciting and
varied programme of speakers.
The Committee is delighted to announce that Deirdre Kiorgaard, Director,
Bibliographic Standards and Strategy, National Library of Australia and
Chair of the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of Anglo-American
Cataloguing Rules will be our key presenter.
Ms. Kiorgaard will give two presentations on the JSC's work on RDA as
well as a demonstration of how FRBR fits into the model. This will be
the only opportunity New Zealand librarians and interested parties will
have to hear about these developments before the publication of RDA in
2009.
The Committee has achieved a coup in attracting Ms. Kiorgaard whose
presentations will be of interest to a wide community and we encourage
you to attend.
Other presenters are Chris Todd who will regale us with tales from her
year in Cambodia on VSA; Leonie Hayes from the University of Auckland
will demonstrate ResearchSpace and discuss metadata, cataloguing and
repositories and Amanda Cossham from The Open Polytechnic will discuss
the rapidly growing discipline of information architecture.

"Information architecture: a brief tour"
Amanda will introduce the discipline of information architecture and
discuss its relevance to cataloguing librarians. Information
architecture is a developing discipline that has been defined as the
construction of a structure, or the organisation of information. This
includes using taxonomies, tags, faceted classification and
folksonomies. Information architecture is one of the ways that we can
start to deal with the 'unintended consequences of the information age'
- information overload, information anxiety and junk information.
