FW: [ordac-l] Announcement about IFLA Library Reference Model
by Anoushka McGuire 28 Sep '17

28 Sep '17

Good morning New Zealand cataloguers, My apologies – I had intended to forward this to the list last week but it got lost in the pre-conference rush. Apologies too if you have already seen this announcement. King regards, Anoushka Anoushka McGuire | Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4524 | www.natlib.govt.nz The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs The following announcement about the IFLA Library Reference Model was posted today on the RSC website:<http://rda-rsc.org/> IFLA Library Reference Model The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) welcomes the publication of the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM) as an IFLA standard. The LRM was endorsed by the IFLA Professional Committee in August 2017; the final version is available at: https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11412.<https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11412> There are no significant changes to the LRM from the draft version used for the RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign (3R) Project by the RSC and its working groups. The project includes development of RDA as an implementation of the new model, which consolidates the separate IFLA Functional Requirements models on which RDA is based. The RSC recommends RDA Toolkit users to familiarize themselves with the LRM in preparation for the release of the new Toolkit in 2018.

Reminder to put in an expression of interest for the RDA original cataloguing webinar series
by Joanne Rowan 26 Sep '17

26 Sep '17

CatSIG is looking at the possibility of offering a webinar series from Farkas Training in Australia to provide some RDA training in November. There is the possibility of follow up sessions next year with either face-to-face or additional webinar training on the 'look and feel' of the upgraded RDA toolkit (which will be released in late April). The webinar series is based on the two-day 'Cataloguing the RDA Way' course, and covers the same material in a series of five 2-hour sessions, offered on alternate days between 20 and 29 November. Participants will receive electronic copies of the manual, and a set of exercises they will be asked to do in their own time between sessions. Each session comprises a review of the exercises from the previous webinar, the time and ability to forward questions and obtain answers online, and the new material presented with the aid of powerpoint slides and the Toolkit. Participants will be given access to the Toolkit for the duration of the series. Cataloguing the RDA way The course focuses on practical cataloguing using the RDA Toolkit and instruction sets. All aspects of RDA are covered in the detail need to create complete bibliographic records. The Trainers, Lynn Farkas and Helen Rowe are experienced cataloguers, qualified trainers and designated RDA trainers. In the last three years, Helen and Lynn have delivered webinars and face-to-face RDA training to many hundreds of librarian and technician cataloguers across Australia. They also teach cataloguing online to undergraduate and masters students in the School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University, and have written workbooks on cataloguing and reference services in the 'Learn Library Skills' series published by TotalRecall Press, USA. Gaining more familiarity with the toolkit now, will assist with understanding and using the revised toolkit when it is released next year. We need a minimum of 10 people for the webinars to go ahead. The costs would be NZ$500. Can you please email catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> if you are interested in participating in this webinar series. The closing date for expressions of interest is 29 September.
