Wheelers is looking for professionally qualified Cataloguers to join our
team.
Wheelers is New Zealand's leading library supplier and provider of
outsourced selection, cataloguing and processing services and the business
is continuing to grow.
We offer you the opportunity to work with an innovative company dedicated to
providing excellent service.
Our main client base for cataloguing is New Zealand public libraries.
Cataloguers at Wheelers are responsible for bibliographic cataloguing, both
copy and original, Dewey classification and assigning fiction genres.
Cataloguing and classification are done according to national and
international practices and standards (RDA, AACR2, MARC21, LCSH, LCNA and
Dewey 23), as well as to individual client requirements.
Cataloguers are expected to meet company standards in terms of quality,
timeliness and quantity of work output.
Substantial copy cataloguing experience is essential. Candidates with
experience cataloguing for a public library in the last 3 years will have a
significant advantage.
Experience with original cataloguing would be an advantage but is not
required.
We value people who are collegial, self-motivated and flexible in their work
habits.
We have a wonderful supportive team and offer flexible working hours, with
the possibility of remote working.
Ideally, we are seeking someone to work full time. There is flexibility
regarding the number of hours per week or job sharing, as the appointment of
the best candidate is paramount.
We are conveniently located on the Auckland North Shore in Glenfield.
If this opportunity sounds interesting to you, we’d love to hear from you.
For a Job Description and/or any queries contact Samantha Carroll, People &
Capability, at samanthac(a)wheelers.co.nz
Apply by emailing a covering letter with your CV to samanthac(a)wheelers.co.nz
You must be legally entitled to work in NZ to apply for this position.

Kia ora,
ORDAC are seeking feedback on a draft proposal to add options to RDA allowing for the recording of dual-language names, both as corporate bodies and as places, and as the Oceania representative to the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) I'd like your help in making sure we get good community input.
Dual-language naming is increasingly common in our region. This occurs where a corporate body or place is known by a name that includes words from more than one language. Uluru/Ayer's Rock and Aoraki/Mt Cook are identifiable places where the names appear in this form in the relevant gazetteer. While using only part of the name would still be recognisable, the official form is to include both at the same time regardless of which language you are speaking when you use them.
Please do take the time to read the draft proposal document and consider the following questions:
* regardless of whether you would use the added options at your own institution, do they make sense to you or is something unclear/missing?
* do you have any examples from other countries/situations where the same problem occurs?
If you have any feedback, please send it directly to charlotte(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:charlotte@rdatoolkit.org> so we can refine this proposal before it is presented to the RSC in 2024.
The proposal can be found here: http://rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/Consultation%20version%20-%20ORDAC%20RSC…
