Apologies for the confusion

varied programme of speakers.
The Committee is delighted to announce that Deirdre Kiorgaard, Director,

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

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.

Good afternoon
Over the next few weeks National Library will send out a series of key
messages about the new services which your library, as a Te Puna
subscriber, is encouraged to use.
Today we talk about the WebCat development that was so well-received at
the recent Road Shows up and down the country
WebCat now has the ability to save records from remote databases to Te
Puna when the relevant record is not found in Te Puna. You can then add
your library’s holding and retrieve records as you …
[View More]currently do.
This new WebCat functionality was expressly developed by National
Library to support the OCLC initiative, as a way of providing New
Zealand libraries with access to a greatly extended range of
bibliographic records.
For contractual reasons links to WorldCat will not be available until 1
July, but we are pleased to let you have a preview of the functionality
by providing links to two other databases unhindered in this way.
For those who would like to look at how this will work you can now save
records from:
· National Bibliographic Archive
· Libraries Australia Bibliographic Database
· Others will follow
You can either go into Te Puna and trial it for yourself or look at
some screen shots at http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/news/future.htm
The click on WEBCAT GATEWAY DEVELOPMENT
Points to note:
New buttons are labelled:
o REDO your search on OCLC WorldCat (next to search button - if
your search returned no results)
o Import from Gateway (Far left on top toolbar)
o Save this record to the NBD (immediately above the Detailed/MARC
view of the record)
When you are in a remote database the screen is coloured slate grey and
blue, and a message about which database you are using is displayed at
the top of the result set
You will know when you have been successful in saving the record from
the remote database of your choice when you are back with the familiar
pink and blue WebCat colour scheme.
The Webcat development uses Z39.50 capability and here are some search
tips to help you get started when connected to Worldcat’s Z39.50
server using Webcat:
