Free webinar series in June: Finding your way with RDA
by Anoushka McGuire 30 May '23

30 May '23

Kia ora koutou, The Oceania region RDA Committee (ORDAC) is pleased to present a series of three webinars exploring concepts from the Official RDA guidance, presented by ORDAC member and Oceania RSC representative Charlotte Christensen based at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa. The RDA Guidance chapters are key to understanding Official RDA works concepts and how to interact with the standard. These sessions provide the step before beginning to describe a resource, exploring terminology and structure that will be key to following more community-focused sessions in the future. The guidance is relevant to all descriptive institutions and communities, not just libraries, and no prior knowledge of Official RDA is assumed for attendees. All are welcome to attend, whether your organisation has implemented RDA or you're just curious. The webinars are free, and will be recorded and made available afterwards. Session 1 Covers: Official vs Original RDA: familiar and new; terminology; navigating element pages 7 June 3pm NZST / 1pm AEST / 12:30 ACST / 11am AWST Session 2 Covers: entities; manifestation statements; transcription; sources of information 14 June 3pm NZST / 1pm AEST / 12:30 ACST / 11am AWST Session 3 Covers: entity boundaries; diachronic works; aggregates; representative expressions; implementation scenarios; community resources 21 June 3pm NZST / 1pm AEST / 12:30 ACST / 11am AWST Please use this link to register: https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__5xg5EiIQomL7W4dz4uRdg Anoushka ORDAC Chair Anoushka McGuire | Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1, National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4524 | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Metadata new and changed terms update - Paengawhāwhā/Āperira/April 2023
by Catherine Amey 01 May '23

01 May '23

Tēnā tātou The latest collection of new and changed Ngā Upoko Tukutuku headings are now available for use on the National Library website.<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> Below is a selection of the changes - please explore the website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> for the full list. These were created during hui early in 2023 and later last year, so it’s wonderful to be able to share these. This update is relatively small, but we are planning another release after the next hui in May and July. We’d love to have more requests to work on - tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te pae tukutuku! Sending in requests is 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 in English where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. Please get those suggestions rolling in and we'll add them to our worklist. Details of the Paengawhāwhā/Āperira/April 2023 release This update includes a number of terms which may be useful in the context of environmental change. The rōpū created a term for sea level rise, Piki o ngā tai, which links to the existing terms Huringa āhuarangi (Climate change), Te mahana haere o te ao (Global warming) and the new term Pae moana, which refers to the surface of the sea. Pae moana may also be used for works about sea levels or the sea horizon. Other new terms relating to the Taiao (Environment) include Horanuku (Landscapes) and Paerangi, which describes the horizon in a general sense. Te Whakakaokao has also created new terms relating to social conditions. While most Covid-19-related restrictions have been removed, lockdowns are still in recent memory and protecting whānau remains important. The term Aukati rori may be used for community checkpoints to safeguard iwi and hapū in the context of Covid-19 and other situations where communities are at risk. Utu kaimahi (Wages) is another term of topical interest. On a lighter note, there are now new terms for both contemporary and long-established recreational activities. In the context of waka ama, the term Kaihoe has been created to describe paddlers. Tauwhāinga-toru refers to triathlons, while Mū tōrere is a classic game using counters on an eight-pointed star design. Ngā Upoko Hou – Full list of new terms Aukati rori – Iwi checkpoints Hiakai - Hunger Horanuku - Landscapes Kaihoe - Paddlers Kōrere – Feeding funnels Mū tōrere - Traditional game using counters on an eight-pointed star design Pae moana – Sea levels Paerangi - Horizon Piharau - Lampreys Piki o ngā tai – Sea level rise Tauwhāinga-toru - Triathlons Te Ao Mārama – World of light Toi tangata - Humanities Utu kaimahi – Remuneration, wages Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Latest National Library of New Zealand Policy Statements available in the new RDA Toolkit
by Anoushka McGuire 12 Jan '23

12 Jan '23

Tēnā koutou/Greetings to you all, The National Library of New Zealand has loaded a second test set of Policy Statements to the RDA Toolkit. Following the December 2022 release, these are now visible at: https://access.rdatoolkit.org/. What Policy Statements are included? Following our successful load of Policy Statements for the Manifestation entity for the September 2022 release of the Toolkit, we have now added Policy Statements for Agent, Collective agent, Corporate body, Family, Person, and Timespan entities. Our aim is to have Policy Statements at every element in the RDA Toolkit plus at all options on Entity and Guidance pages. If you don’t see any Policy Statements on a page, it simply means we didn’t include them for this test load. Where are the Policy Statements? You can explore our Policy Statements in the Toolkit via the link in the Policies tab or by selecting ‘NLNZ PS’ from the menu at the top right of any of the element pages. If the NLNZ Policy Statements don’t appear in the list, you may have to update the settings in your Views. What about supporting documentation? Throughout the NLNZ Policy Statements you’ll see references to the NLNZ Guidance. This is a document to support cataloguers to use the NLNZ Policy Statements in conjunction with the RDA Toolkit, similar to the Metadata Guidance Documentation<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.g…> produced by the Library of Congress and Program for Co-operative Cataloguing (LC-PCC). Right now the link is pointing to a temporary document<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.rd…> in the RDA Toolkit. The NLNZ guidance will be made available later, together with other supporting documentation and the NLNZ Application Profile. This is really exciting, where can I find out more information? The recording of the presentation about the work that the NLNZ has been doing to prepare for switching to the new RDA Toolkit which was part of the October 2022 LIANZA CatSIG professional development webinar series is available now on the LIANZA YouTube channel<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…>. If you have any specific questions about the NLNZ Policy work, please do get in touch with the NLNZ cataloguing teams at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz>.
