Survey on use of Library of Congress subject headings in NZ libraries
by Hazel Loughrey 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Tēnā koutou, You are invited to participate in a survey on what New Zealand libraries do with Library of Congress subject headings they consider outdated, biased, or offensive. The goal of this research is to capture what librarians and libraries do at a local level. The research will be written as an assignment for the course 74342 Research Paper, which I am taking as part of my degree with the Open Polytechnic. Participants will not be identified and no personal data will be collected. It may also be written up for presentation at a conference or in a short article. Participants who are working or have recently (last 5 years) worked in cataloguing in a New Zealand library are invited to participate. To participate, please fill in this form<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>. Thank you, Hazel Loughrey HazelLoughrey(a)myop.ac.nz<mailto:HazelLoughrey@myop.ac.nz> Research supervisor: Dr Amanda Cossham, amanda.cossham(a)openpolytechnic.ac.nz<mailto:amanda.cossham@openpolytechnic.ac.nz>

Cataloguing maps
by Jessie Moir 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hello all Later this year I will be going through the collection of old maps (mostly local to Hawke's Bay) that we have in our stack with the view of getting them catalogued and therefore accessible for our patrons. I would imagine that some at least would turn out to have full records in Te Puna/OCLC. However, some may require original cataloguing. I don't have any experience of cataloguing maps - only some theoretical knowledge from back when I did my library studies. Does anyone know of short courses or can recommend a book that would give me enough knowledge to do a reasonable effort if some do require original cataloguing?

Resources and Suggestions for Cataloguing and Acquisitions Work
by benjamin mehrtens 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hello everyone, Please ignore my last post. I don’t know why it was scrubbed and uploaded as an HTML attachement. I would like some suggestions on professional resources, as I would love to work in acquisitions, search librarianship, or especially cataloguing in the near future and was wondering if there are any updated textbooks or resources I should look at, meetings or people I could talk to (I understand RDA and MARC have had some updates recently too)? I have copies of Developing Library and Information Center Collections and Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (2014-2016 editions). I have graduated with the level 5 diploma in library and information studies and an MIS and have recently obtained work in IM/ records management, but I want to keep my interests and options open. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Benjamin.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Metadata new and changed terms Hōngongoi/Hūrae/July 2021
by Catherine Amey 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Pipiri/Hune/June Te Whakakaokao/Māori Metadata Working Group hui of 2021 are now available for use on the National Library website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>. Tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's a really easy process: if you're handling a collection item that is either in te reo Māori or has content about Māori, and you can't find an existing term in our thesaurus to suit your item, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> with your suggestion and the details of what you were working on. Suggestions where you don't know a Māori term are just fine and proposals for new terms and clarifications of existing terms are very welcome! He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Ao whakarahi – Augmented reality Hoa – Friends, companions Kōkōwai – Red earth pigments Kōnene - Refugees Kōtore huia – Huia bird tail feather Manene - Immigrants Moko tuauri - Dinosaurs Ngū - Squid Ongaonga - Nettles Para kore – Waste minimisation, Zero waste Puia – Volcanoes, geysers Rererangi - Aircraft Rongoā Pākeha – Western medicine, pharmaceuticals Tarakihana - Tractors Tātarāmoa – Bush lawyer Tēina - Younger siblings of the same gender Toi matihiko – Digital art Tuāhine – Sisters of a male Tuākana – Elder siblings of the same gender Wāhi haumaru kararehe – Wildlife refuges, sanctuaries Whakatuwheratanga – Opening ceremonies Wharekōti - Courthouses More information about new and changed terms Te Whakakaokao has created several new terms allowing family relationships to be described more precisely. These include Tēina, younger siblings of the person described, Tuākana, elder siblings of the same gender, and Tuāhine, referring to sisters of a male. It was important to create specific terms to reflect that there is no acceptable generic translation of the English concepts of brother and sister. A term for friends, Hoa, has also been added. Some new terms may be relevant in the context of schools, libraries and museums. The term Moko tuauri may now be used for dinosaurs, while Tarakihana is a term for tractors and Rererangi applies to aircraft of all kinds. The scope of Iwi taketake has been extended to include ancient indigenous civilizations and Pukapuka kāhui korero (Bibliography) now also encompasses book history and the book trade. As technology evolves, new usages emerge. A term has been created for augmented reality, Ao whakarahi. Also in the field of artistic creation, Te Whakakaokao has developed a term for digital art, Toi matihiko. Te Whakaokao carefully considered a request for terms for Western medicine in the context of the changing usage of the term rongoā. We finally decided to create a new term Rongoā Pākehā for Western medicine and pharmaceuticals. This sits alongside the existing term Rongoā, Māori medicine, reflecting the centrality of mātauranga Māori to Ngā Upoko Tukutuku. The scope of the existing term Kararehe (Animals) has been refined to confirm that this term may be used for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and insects. This adjustment has led to some changes to the scope notes for other terms, such as Mātauranga kararehe (Zoology), Kararehe kaikino (Animal pests) and Koiora orotā (Pest control). These terms may be used in the appropriate contexts for all kinds of animals. We also now have a term for squid, Ngū. Other new terms may be applied to resources about conservation and the environment. These include Para kore, waste minimisation and Wāhi haumaru kararehe, which may be used for wildlife sanctuaries and refuges. New terms for plant species have been created, such as Ongaonga (Nettles), and Tātāramoa (Bush lawyer). Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao
