LIANZA CAT SIG - CATALOGUING UPDATE AND DISCUSSION FORUM
Tuesday May 20, 10.00AM-11.00AM
It has been a while since cataloguers have had a chance to get together to kōrero about cataloguing issues, and a lot has been going on! This is an opportunity to come together virtually to discuss what’s happening in the cataloguing world, including the progress of Official RDA.
As a starting point, these are some discussion questions we want to discuss:
Cataloguing in general
* Are you a sole cataloguer, or are you in a team?
* How much cataloguing is a part of your role?
* How much original / copy / [other] cataloguing do you do?
* What has changed over the last few years with respect to cataloguing in your institution?
* What challenges are at the forefront of your mind and your colleagues ' minds?
* Do you feel you have enough cataloguing support in your role?
Official RDA
* Have you had a chance to engage with official RDA, e.g. in training, reading, or watching webinars?
* What changes have you seen coming through in catalogue records (e.g. NLNZ official RDA implementation)?
* How have these changes affected what you do?
* What approach have you taken to decide how to respond to the changes?
* Have you started original cataloguing using Official RDA
Communication
* How much communication do you have with cataloguers outside of your institution?
* Would it be helpful to have more communication?
* What ways?
