Kia ora koutou
The latest release of our practical training resources in Official RDA is now available through Niche Academy. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz
The tutorials in this release include:
* Serial works
* Archived websites
* Music scores
These tutorials are aimed at cataloguers already describing these types of resources and they assume you have completed all the previous training.
There is also a new tutorial on parallel aggregates. This tutorial is limited to describing parallel aggregate text resources with a static extension plan.
Resources to support your RDA training<https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz/course/78231?categoryId=27693> has been updated and includes the on-request resources listed in the Phase 1 training plan so you can access them directly.
We’ve also added a new document to our resources on the Toolkit: RDA Toolkit - NLNZ approach to resource description<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=efa32f78-2ecd-4f…>. This document is used as a starting point for NLNZ cataloguers but may be of interest to others. As well as links to all our MAPs and supporting documentation it includes an expected workflow, questions to start your thinking when deciding how to describe a resource and links to resources to help make decisions.
NLNZ cataloguers are now training in music sound recordings and cartographic resources and you will start to see records for these resources soon.
Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have questions about our training materials, or just want to talk about RDA.

Kia ora,
This has been posted a few times to a few places already, but just in case anyone's missing the registration link here it is<https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_396-KxPqTKSnRKNYezWL_g#/regi…>.
This time it's Australia's turn to tell us what's happening on their side of the ditch with transitioning to Official RDA. The last two sessions about NLNZ's experience are up on the RDA Toolkit website<https://www.youtube.com/@RDAToolkitVideo> if you're wanting to review, but this one's an entirely Aussie show so come along and hear all about it.
