Nga Upoko Tukutuku Maori Subject headings update, February 2015
by Catherine Amey 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Tena tatou katoa We are pleased to announce that Nga Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Maori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in December 2014. There are 14 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and also a significant number of changed terms. Nga kaupapa hou / New terms * Ana = Caves * Aria whakaako= Pedagogy * Eke hoiho= Horse-riding * Haereere ana = Caving * Haereere awa = River activities * Hokakatanga = Sexual behaviour and identity * Kaituhi = Authors * Kanga = Corn * Mahaki = Humility * Moari = Traditional swings * Poraka = Frogs * Ritenga = Practices, Processes, Rites, Rituals * Whakahihi = Arrogance, Pride, Vanity * Whakataetae hoiho = Equestrian events Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms A number of existing terms have been amended, some of which have been changed significantly. These terms include: *The terms for sexuality and sexual organs have revised to clarify the distinction between physical anatomy and sexual identity. A new term, Hokakatanga has been added to encompass all aspects of sexuality relating to the physical, emotional and mental aspects of sexual behaviour and identity, while the scope of the existing term Taihemahema is now limited to sexual organs. *A new term Kaituhi has been added to refer to authors, writers, and scribes. Previously, authors had been subsumed within the more general term Hunga mahi toi , which denotes artists and creators of all kinds. *A long-standing request for a term for frogs has now been resolved. The term Poraka has been created, and is located as a narrower term of Aitanga pepeke, the domain of insects, arthropods, and hopping and jumping animals. *The scope of the term Tikanga (ceremonies, customs, protocols, traditions) has been revised and a new narrower term Ritenga has been added. The latter describes methods of applying cultural practices, and can also apply to Western ideas of rites and rituals. *The scope notes relating to the atua Tangaroa and Hinemoana have been revised to make it clear that Tangaroa is the guardian of the sea, and all things living in it, while Hinemoana is the embodiment of the deep seas and the guardian of instruments made of seashells. *The scope and relationships of the terms Kirehu (idoms), Kiwaha (colloquial idoms) and Pepeha (tribal mottos) have been clarified and expanded. We apologise for the absence of macrons. It has not been possible to include these, for technical reasons relating to the email client. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>. Na nga kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

by Amanda Cossham 16 Jan '15

Dear all I am trying to get some indication of how many NZ libraries are currently using WebDewey. This is in the light of a planned revision of the module on DDC in the cataloguing and classification course I teach. I'd like to know whether it's worth while adding in additional content that focuses on WebDewey.

CatSIG is looking for some new committee members
by Joanne Rowan 17 Oct '14

17 Oct '14

Thank you to those who attended the AGM. We had one volunteer to join the committee. Thank you Anoushka McGuire. We are looking for one or two more people to join the committee and share the workload. If you are looking for new opportunities for you professional registration journal this is a good option. Below is some information on what is involved in being on the committee. There is not a huge amount of work involved. We have one/two meetings per year by phone. The rest of the committee business is carried out by email. Each person is responsible for one/two area of the committee's work: * CatSIG information on the LIANZA website. This information needs to be kept up-to-date and any new information about training opportunities added. * CatSIG gmail list. This needs to be monitored to ensure emails are responded to promptly. Usually general queries or applications for sponsorship or training course we are running. * CatSIG's representative on the DescribeNZ wiki moderators group. A meeting is held every two months, the person needs to look at the wiki and contribute ideas on content and ways to continue to improve it. This can be done in conjunction with other members of the committee. * Listserv "bounce". The listserv automatically generates an email when someone subscribes or unsubscribes to the listserv these are bounced to an email address rather than going out to every listserv member. Likewise, any email sent to the listserv by someone NOT subscribed to the listserv also bounces. Emails from non-subscribers are forwarded to the list. * Secretary - taking minutes in meetings * Treasurer - sign off on invoices for payment along with another member of the committee and forward these to LIANZA for payment, and send out invoices for any training sessions we run using a template. Please respond by 31st of October if you are interested to jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz> Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor c/o Serials Unit Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz>
