Changes to LC/NACO authority records
by Judith Keats 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Dear colleagues, In preparation for Resource Description & Access (RDA), the Library of Congress (LC) has implemented the second phase of changes to their Name Authority File, which also contains name authority records created by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) members including the National Library of New Zealand. Phase 2 changes are automated changes to 1XX access points/headings, 4XX See references and 5XX See also references in authority records that are not acceptable under RDA. These changes include the modification of Bible and Koran headings and the spelling out of abbreviations such as Dept. and months. For full details of the changes, see Summary of programmatic changes to the LC/NACO authority file at http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/pdf/lcnaf_rdaphase.pdf See references for the AACR2 heading are added to each changed authority record. Some New Zealand examples of 1XX access points/headings that have just been changed are: New Zealand. Department of Conservation University of Canterbury. Department of Civil Engineering Gordon, Harry, 1925 November 9- Warner, Lionel, -1986 Occasional publications (Victoria University of Wellington. Department of Politics) These changes began last week and will continue for the rest of March until all identified access points/headings have been changed. The order of these changes is based on the order in which the authority records were originally created and the change to one authority record does not trigger a change to related authority records or to records with an extension of that name. This means that in the short term 500 See also references in some authority records could be changed before the 100 access point/heading they refer to. These changes will result in a considerable amount of bibliographic file maintenance which will be worked through both globally and manually over the coming weeks. During this time of change, please continue to use the authorised form of access point/heading in your bibliographic records.

Resource Description & Access (RDA) Update March 2013
by Christine Todd 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

RDA Implementation The National Library will start using RDA as the standard for descriptive cataloguing of textual monographs (both print and digital) from early April 2013. We will continue to use existing AACR2 records for older material and for non-New Zealand material, but all new records will follow RDA. Other formats will be phased in over the next few months as we develop our cataloguing policies and workflows. We expect to be using RDA for all materials, with the possible exception of rare books, by December 2013. The Library's RDA cataloguing policy document is available on the DescribeNZ wiki here<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/38345502/National%20Library%20o…>. RDA Training In February, the National Library cataloguing team leaders (Chris Todd, Janess Stewart and Andra Patterson) presented a pilot National Library of New Zealand version of the National Library of Australia's RDA Train the Trainer course to a group of cataloguers in Dunedin. We plan to offer further courses after May 2013, once our RDA implementation is underway. Deborah Fritz of The MARC of Quality<http://www.marcofquality.com/> has presented the first of two webinars on Rudimentary RDA. The second webinar will be held in early April and is already fully subscribed. Deborah will be in New Zealand from around late August and we expect that other courses will be available then. The National Library RDA training materials are also available on the DescribeNZ wiki here<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/26674876/RDA%20Training> Please contact any of us if you have questions about RDA: Chris Todd christine.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:christine.todd@dia.govt.nz> Janess Stewart janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> Andra Patterson andra.patterson(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:andra.patterson@dia.govt.nz> Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: christine.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz>
