Introduction Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the current standard for creating bibliographic descriptions for our published collections. As a new standard, it is under active development and improvement and recent changes to the Steering Committee responsible for the standard will give New Zealand Cataloguers the opportunity to have direct influence on the direction and development of this standard. The Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA (JSC), is currently transitioning to a new governance model, to be in place by 2019. This began at the November 2015 meeting of the JSC, where the first step taken was to rename the Committee the RDA Steering Committee (RSC): http://www.rda-rsc.org/. The RSC's new governance model is designed to widen international participation in the development of Resource Description and Access (RDA), and now the new structure will include six regional representatives: Africa, Latin American and the Caribbean, North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) have been until now, providing Australian representation to the RSC and now it expected that representation will be supported by the wider Oceania region, including New Zealand and other Pacific countries. ACOC and LIANZA's Cataloguing Special Interest Group (CatSIG) have agreed to convene an Oceania RDA group to support the Oceania representatives to the RSC and to the RDA Board. This Oceania group will be called ORDAC (Oceania RDA Committee). The Committee's support will include reading the proposals for changes to RDA which are put to RSC for discussion at the annual meeting, formulating an ORDAC response to each proposal, and preparing ORDAC proposals ( http://rda-rsc.org/newrscdocs ). Committee The ORDAC committee will be made up of: Catherine Argus - ACOC Chair, NLA representative Edith Fullalove - ALIA representative Ebe Kartus - Australian representative on the RDA Steering Committee (RSC), ALIA representative Melissa Parent - Australian representative on the Dewey Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee (EPC), ALIA representative Jenny Stephens - NLA representative Monika Szunejko - NLA representative Plus up to three representatives from NZ We are looking for up to three people to join this group, with the first meeting for 2017 on Friday 24th February. Expected workload and process: ORDAC has a shared wiki space where the RSC discussion documents are posted in the lead up to the annual meeting of the RSC. All committee representatives are expected to read the proposals and comment using the wiki. If there is a need for more in-depth discussion, then a teleconference is scheduled. The workload increases in the lead up to the annual meeting as the group finalises formal responses to proposals, but the group may also spend time formulating new proposals at any time through the year. Additionally, as ORDAC is a new committee, a new terms of reference will need to written. The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 17th February 2017.

Updated Terms of Reference for CatSIG
by Anoushka McGuire 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Good afternoon New Zealand cataloguers, The CatSIG committee would like to share that our updated Terms of Reference were accepted by LIANZA Council at the December meeting, and are now live on the CatSIG site: http://www.lianza.org.nz/catsig These ToR were discussed and approved at the October 2016 CatSIG AGM. The biggest changes are the addition to our statement of purpose which explicitly states that CatSIG will support the development of international cataloguing standards, and the creation of the new key committee roles, representatives to ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee), of which there will be up to three. The establishment of ORDAC is part of the recent change in the RSC (RDA Steering Committee) governance structure and will provide an opportunity for New Zealand cataloguers to contribute directly to the development of RDA. There will be more information about these new roles shortly. Have a good weekend everyone!

Barcode scanners
by Dames, Rebecca 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Kia ora koutou, Tis the season for giving, and I have been blessed to receive a brand-new barcode scanner at my desk this morning :) It’s fantastic! It got me thinking about all the time and frustration I had suffered with my old, temperamental one(s), that I put up with for far too long. So I’m sharing my joy with my new toy, and I’d like to encourage you to consider the usefulness of your scanner, and whether it’s time to submit an application for a new one, while people are in a giving sort of mood.

Suggestions wanted for new headings to include in Nga Upoko Tukutuku
by Anoushka McGuire 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Tena kotou katoa, Te Whakakaokao (the Māori Subject Headings working group) is calling for more suggestions for new headings to include in Nga Upoko Tukutuku. We're having a hui in early December, so now's the perfect time to scour your shelves or talk to your reference staff about those collection items you couldn't find a good term for. You can suggest the Māori term you think is relevant or just give us the English equivalent, but either way we need to know what the resource is (ISBN and/or OCLC number are great identifiers) so we can take a look ourselves. We're also always interested in any questions you have about existing headings, particularly if you think the scope notes need expanding or if you think something else should be included. Suggestions and questions are welcome any time at reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>, but with a hui coming up and a bit of space on the agenda for new suggestions it'd be great to get some requests in by mid-November. naku na Charlotte Christensen, on behalf of Te Whakakaokao
