New LC Subject Heading ‘White privilege (Social structure)’ approved and ‘Primitive societies’ removed
by Catherine Amey 18 Aug '22

18 Aug '22

Tēnā koutou Some good news for a rainy Friday (at least here in Te Whanganui a Tara). The June 2022 list of new and changed subject headings approved by Library of Congress has just been posted: https://classweb.org/approved-subjects/2206.html Of particular note, the subject heading White privilege (Social structure)<https://lccn.loc.gov/sh2022005885> is now available for use. It has taken nearly 15 years for this term to be approved – please see the Cataloging Lab<https://cataloginglab.org/kb/white-privilege/> if you are interested in the history of this proposal. Please also note that the inappropriate term ‘Primitive societies’ has been deleted, to be replaced by the subject headings Anthropology<https://lccn.loc.gov/sh85005581> and Prehistoric peoples<https://lccn.loc.gov/sh85080302>. While ‘Prehistoric peoples’ still seems problematic (as it implies some peoples lack history), it is great to see that ‘Primitive societies’ has been removed. A number of associated terms have also been changed or deleted, such as ‘Industries, Primitive’, ‘Primitive property,’ etc. Nāku noa Nā Catherine Catherine Amey Mātanga Metararaunga Whaimana, Authority Metadata Specialist Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand PO Box 1467, Wellington 6140, Aotearoa New Zealand 021 026 03324 | www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> (He Pākehā ahau; pronouns: she/her/hers) The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Te Tari Taiwhenua Department of Internal Affairs [cid:image001.jpg@01D8B3B6.EA7D7560] [58326FF6]I usually work from home on Tuesdays (at Orange)

TMDC is a group of dozens of cataloguers, librarians, archivists, scholars, and information professionals with a concerted interest in improving the description and classification of trans and gender diverse people in GLAMS (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums and Special Collections). The Collective’s primary goal was to develop a set of best practices for the description, cataloguing, and classification of information resources as well as the creation of metadata about trans and gender diverse people, including authors and other creators.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori metadata new and changed terms update - Hune/Pipiri/June 2022
by Catherine Amey 01 Jun '22

01 Jun '22

Kia ora The latest collection of new and changed Ngā Upoko Tukutuku headings are now available for use on the National Library website<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnatlib.go…>. These are the product of our recent Zoom hui, so it’s wonderful to be able to share these. We’d also 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. Our next hui will be in June and July 2022, so please get those suggestions rolling in and we'll add them to our worklist. Training opportunities in 2022 If you haven’t already enrolled in the 2022 combined Mātauranga Māori and Tukua workshops, there are still places available for the online training hui in July and October. The programme will be free of charge in 2022, so this is the perfect time to attend! Please register your interest on the Te Rōpū Whakahau website<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrw.org.n…>. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Details of the Hune/Pipiri/June 2022 release We have added a number of terms which may be used to describe taonga in library and archival collections. These include Tokotoko (Tikanga tuku iho), ceremonial staffs which may also be used as walking sticks and Papa hou, square or rectangular carved boxes for holding treasured items. Terms have also been created for Kumete whakairo (Carved food bowls with lids), Kumete (Food preparation containers) and Ipu (Bowls and Containers). On a related note, a new term has been added for sculpture, Tāraitanga, while Taputapu whakairo refers to carving tools. The terms relating to jewellery, adornments and personal items have been clarified and expanded. The new term Taonga whakarākei has been added as a collective term for adornments and body ornaments worn to signify status, leadership and whakapapa, or at significant events. It does not include necklaces and earrings, which are instead classed with Whakakai (Jewelry). Narrower concepts of Taonga whakarākei include Tāpeka (Diagonal shoulder belts or sashes), Tīpare (Headbands) and Heru (Combs). As Heru have a functional as well as a decorative purpose, Heru also sit under the broader term Taputapu, which encompasses utensils, property and equipment. Please note that at the time of this release we are aware of an issue with the Taonga whakarākei display that means the heke (narrower terms) are not displaying correctly. This will be corrected during the next release, but in the meantime the relevant narrower terms mentioned above are all accessible via search or alphabetical browse. Some of the terms relating to Tangihanga have been revised and expanded. Kirimate may be used to describe mourners while Kahu whakatere refers to burial wraps and shrouds, predominantly woven from harakeke. We have added new terms to describe buildings and structures in both historical and contemporary contexts. These include Kāuta (Cookhouses and kitchens), Wharau (Temporary shelters) and Tēneti (Tents).
