These terms include: Hi ika, now covering all aspects of fishing and fisheries, including fishing tools and fishing grounds. Papaho, meaning main means of mass communication, now includes radio, television and film with links to newspapers and periodicals. Waiata meaning songs has been expanded to include contemporary Maori songs. Moteatea, meaning Maori songs has now been redefined as Traditional laments.

Please also note that our contact email address has changed from @natlib.govt.nz to @dia.govt.nz since the 1 February merger of the National Library with the Department of Internal Affairs.

As Te Puna partners, this is your chance to have your say in how we can together make further improvements to the National Union Catalogue (NUC), and other services, over the next few years. Te Puna is a collaborative effort and we want to work with you to ensure that you are getting what you need out of it. Cataloguers Come and find out more about RDA so you are ready to go mid-year when the results of the American trial are due. Interloan The VDX is being upgraded so come and have a look at what has changed and find out how you can streamline your interloan processes. The programme<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/services/national-collaborative-services/subscrib…> includes an exciting mix of workshops and speakers, including Lynn Silipigni Connaway from OCLC who will be presenting the results of her research into changing user patterns for information discovery.
