Survey on use of Library of Congress subject headings in NZ libraries
by Hazel Loughrey 10 Sep '21

10 Sep '21

Tēnā koutou, You are invited to participate in a survey on what New Zealand libraries do with Library of Congress subject headings they consider outdated, biased, or offensive. The goal of this research is to capture what librarians and libraries do at a local level. The research will be written as an assignment for the course 74342 Research Paper, which I am taking as part of my degree with the Open Polytechnic. Participants will not be identified and no personal data will be collected. It may also be written up for presentation at a conference or in a short article. Participants who are working or have recently (last 5 years) worked in cataloguing in a New Zealand library are invited to participate. To participate, please fill in this form<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>. Thank you, Hazel Loughrey HazelLoughrey(a)myop.ac.nz<mailto:HazelLoughrey@myop.ac.nz> Research supervisor: Dr Amanda Cossham, amanda.cossham(a)openpolytechnic.ac.nz<mailto:amanda.cossham@openpolytechnic.ac.nz>

CatSIG convenors report
by Joanne Rowan 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Kia ora all, Thank you to all of those of you who attended the first CatSIG Talks for this year today. Please find below the convenors report. Convenor’s Report for the year 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 The Committee The committee members for the past year were Tamsyn Bayliss, Anoushka McGuire, Sue McMillan, and Chris Todd. Chris and Anoushka are the CatSIG representatives on the ORDAC committee. Everyone has agreed to remain on the committee for another year. Membership Based on the current membership list received from LIANZA, CatSIG has 146 members (compared to 136 in May 2020). I am pleased to see the number of CatSIG members increasing again after declining over the last couple of years. Activities CatSIG Talks (October/November 2020) – 107 people registered for the Zoom session. It was well-received by the people who attended. Thank you to all the presenters who took the time to share their knowledge Catapult : newsletter of the LIANZA Cataloguing Special Interest Group<http://describenz.squarespace.com/new-page-1/> has continued to be published regularly and made available on the DescribeNZ section of the LIANZA website. Sara Sladwick from the University of Auckland has compiled this year’s issues. We appreciate her contributions to keeping this newsletter going. We welcome any articles or cataloguer profiles as this helps to make Catapult a success. If we continue to have problems receiving content from the cataloguing community, we will need to reassess how many issues we publish a year. The other option is to look into different ways to keep the cataloguing community up to date. DescribeNZ All the content on the DescribeNZ wiki has been moved to a section on the LIANZA website. This has brought us into closer alignment with LIANZA. Budget LIANZA budget requirements have changed, and they require a neutral budget for events or a profit. SIGs can choose to be budgeted or unbudgeted SIG depending on the events they plan for the year. CatSIG has had a neutral budget with no incomings or outgoing in this financial year, and we are operating as an unbudgeted SIG. We need to make sure our costs cover our outgoing when we run events. The zoom sessions we have run over the last couple of years has assisted with this. Closing remarks Activities such as organising training and producing Catapult take a great deal of time and effort, and we would not be able to continue these without the hard work of the committee and the support of CatSIG members. Thank you! We would welcome any new members. Ngā mihi, Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor

Cataloguing maps
by Jessie Moir 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hello all Later this year I will be going through the collection of old maps (mostly local to Hawke's Bay) that we have in our stack with the view of getting them catalogued and therefore accessible for our patrons. I would imagine that some at least would turn out to have full records in Te Puna/OCLC. However, some may require original cataloguing. I don't have any experience of cataloguing maps - only some theoretical knowledge from back when I did my library studies. Does anyone know of short courses or can recommend a book that would give me enough knowledge to do a reasonable effort if some do require original cataloguing?

Resources and Suggestions for Cataloguing and Acquisitions Work
by benjamin mehrtens 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hello everyone, Please ignore my last post. I don’t know why it was scrubbed and uploaded as an HTML attachement. I would like some suggestions on professional resources, as I would love to work in acquisitions, search librarianship, or especially cataloguing in the near future and was wondering if there are any updated textbooks or resources I should look at, meetings or people I could talk to (I understand RDA and MARC have had some updates recently too)? I have copies of Developing Library and Information Center Collections and Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (2014-2016 editions). I have graduated with the level 5 diploma in library and information studies and an MIS and have recently obtained work in IM/ records management, but I want to keep my interests and options open. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Benjamin.
