Contributors for the next Catapult issue
by Tamsyn Bayliss 31 May '16

31 May '16

Dear colleagues, We're planning the March issue of Catapult and are looking for your contributions! The tentative theme is 'future-forward'- as inspired by Kevin Ford's recent visit and his talk on BIBFRAME. (Reminder- the webcast is still available to view here: http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/lianza-catsig) Do you have views on RDF, BIBFRAME, linked data, the future of the library catalogue and cataloguing, or examples of how your library is planning or has implemented new systems? Also, on a broader tangent - if you've read something interesting, started a new role, attended a workshop or completed a cataloguing project and would like to share, we'd love to include it too. The deadline for contributions will be Friday 4th March. Please get in touch with ideas to either/ both of us at: Tamsyn Bayliss tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com> Jessie Moir jessiem(a)hdc.govt.nz<mailto:jessiem@hdc.govt.nz> Many thanks, Tamsyn and Jessie Tamsyn Bayliss | Cataloguing Librarian | Auckland War Memorial Museum | Tamaki Paenga Hira | The Domain, Private Bag 92018, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, New Zealand | www.aucklandmuseum.com<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/> | M | P +64 9 309 0443 ext 7258 | F +64 9 379 9956 | E tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/>[cid:image002.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/whats-on/exhibitions/air-new-zealand-75-years> [cid:image003.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://www.facebook.com/AucklandMuseum?ref=hl>[cid:image004.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://instagram.com/aucklandmuseum/>[cid:image005.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://twitter.com/aucklandmuseum/>[cid:image006.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://www.youtube.com/user/aucklandmuseum>[cid:image007.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph>[cid:image008.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/collections-research/collections>[cid:image009.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://store.aucklandmuseum.com/>[cid:image010.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/venue-hire>[cid:image011.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/get-involved/donate-sponsor-support/make-a-do…> Auckland Museum Trust Board ("Auckland Museum") accepts no liability for any opinion contained in this email.

In addition, relationship designators for the terms printer, printer of plates, publisher, and bookseller have been reviewed and finalized. Scope for each of the three is now consistent no matter the time period; and the definition for publisher includes mention of both editorial and financial responsibility. publisher [no change to proposed new scope note]: Use for the entity that bears editorial and/or financial responsibility for publishing, releasing, or issuing a resource. bookseller [no change to proposed scope note]: Use for the entity that buys and sells books or other types of printed material. [new terms printseller and mapseller may be proposed for more specific designations] printer of plates [scope note revised]: Use for the entity responsible for the production of printed leaves of plates included in a book as intended by the publisher. [a qualifying phrase has been added to SN for printer] printer [no change to scope note]: Use for the entity responsible for the production of printed matter. For a person who physically operates a printing press, use pressman. For the person responsible for the production of printed leaves of plates included in a book as intended by the publisher, use printer of plates. 3. Since we received no comments or objections to the proposed scope notes for the terms below, they will be added to the Genre Terms thesaurus as they appear on the blog. Funeral addresses Funeral sermons Gothic novels Glossaries Ghost stories Gazetteers Gallows speeches Plays Slave narratives The comment period for all terms runs from May 23 to June 3, 2016.

CatSIG is looking for expressions of interest in presenting at a Cataloguers Day we would like to hold in October around our AGM. Topics that came out of list years survey that people would like to hear more about are: * Are you a special format cataloguer, who would be interested in sharing you knowledge about cataloguing these resources using RDA? * Have you been involved in some research or a project around cataloguing or metadata you would like to share? * Would you like to share your experiences using different metadata formats? * Do you have experience managing data sets that would be useful to share with other cataloguers? * With the recent changes to a new library management systems by some libraries, here is an opportunity to share your experiences in cleaning up your data pre or post migration. Please let us know what other topics would you be interested is hearing about? Presentations can be either hands on workshops or seminars, with sessions being between half an hour to an hour in length. If you are interested in doing a presentation please email catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> by 22 June with an abstract, and what BOK/s your presentation relations to.

That examples page also includes a link to rball versions of some of the bibliographic examples; they are available in both RIMMF native RDA format and RDF linked data format. These examples may be accessed from the RDA Toolkit website (http://www.rdatoolkit.org/examples/MARC) or from the link on the Tools tab in RDA Toolkit (http://access.rdatoolkit.org/) The examples are freely available to all. No subscription to RDA Toolkit is required to access and download the examples.
