Survey on Soft-Deprecated Terms: Please respond by 15 September 2023
by Charlotte Christensen 06 Aug '23

06 Aug '23

[Apologies for cross-posting] In case you haven't seen this on RDA-L, there is an open survey on soft-deprecated elements in the Official RDA. The RSC are very interested in responses to inform whatever thinking descriptive communities have done on this, whether having decided for or against, or whether communities simply haven't considered them at all yet. Further details are available in the original email from the RSC Secretary, copied below. The survey is open for just over a month, so please take the time to have a look and discuss and help us provide an Oceania perspective on how you see the future of these elements. ngā mihi, Charlotte Christensen Oceania representative to the RDA Steering Committee Charlotte Christensen RLIANZA Mātanga Whakaahuaanga Kohinga Matua Senior Collection Description Specialist Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand Direct Dial: 07 867 1234 www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> | dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs [Logo-test] From: Anne Welsh via ALA Connect <Mail(a)ConnectedCommunity.org> Sent: Friday, August 4, 2023 8:52 PM To: Charlotte Christensen <Charlotte.Christensen(a)dia.govt.nz> Subject: RDA-L : Survey on Soft-Deprecated Terms: Please respond by 15 September 2023 Dear all The RSC made a commitment to the library community during the 3R Project that any existing element in original RDA would be retained...

During the course of the re-design, several elements were identified as being redundant with other elements or were considered to be too granular in scope. The RSC refers to these elements as being soft-deprecated. In the RDA Toolkit, soft-deprecated elements are identified by an Option in the Prerecording section that directs a user to the recommended element. Agencies may apply the option if they wish. The RSC is interested in how communities plan on approaching the soft-deprecated elements, and will be grateful for your time in sharing your plans with us via this survey on soft-deprecated terms<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd47nD-Xk_QwqU5anUZwHbW6ydELVPR505…>. This will help the RSC reach a decision on whether the soft-deprecated elements should remain or be removed, in full or in part, from RDA. The survey<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd47nD-Xk_QwqU5anUZwHbW6ydELVPR505…> is intended to help the RSC understand which descriptive communities are currently planning to use some soft-deprecated elements. For our purposes, knowing that you have made no decision is valuable data, so please do not worry if you have not reached a decision yet. As well as the choice between soft-deprecated terms and new terms, so you can provide detailed information, there is also a free text box at the end of the survey, so you can give context or simply a more general response. We will be grateful to receive responses between now and 15 September 2023. This will give us time to analyse the results ahead of our October meeting. For those who would like an easy document to share with colleagues for discussion ahead of completing the survey, we are pleased to share a link to the RDA Registry<http://www.rdaregistry.info/Aligns/alignSoft2Rec.html> for that. RDA Examples Editor, Honor Moody, has also made a quick and easy link for those of you who are less technically-minded, which allows you to download exactly the same spreadsheet<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S0LNlL0GHyAWFA1ACrEsPkVaSRbjPEmRLdz…> at the click of your mouse.

by Anoushka McGuire 30 May '23

30 May '23

Kia ora koutou, The Oceania region RDA Committee (ORDAC) is pleased to present a series of three webinars exploring concepts from the Official RDA guidance, presented by ORDAC member and Oceania RSC representative Charlotte Christensen based at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa. The RDA Guidance chapters are key to understanding Official RDA works concepts and how to interact with the standard. These sessions provide the step before beginning to describe a resource, exploring terminology and structure that will be key to following more community-focused sessions in the future. The guidance is relevant to all descriptive institutions and communities, not just libraries, and no prior knowledge of Official RDA is assumed for attendees. All are welcome to attend, whether your organisation has implemented RDA or you're just curious. The webinars are free, and will be recorded and made available afterwards. Session 1 Covers: Official vs Original RDA: familiar and new; terminology; navigating element pages 7 June 3pm NZST / 1pm AEST / 12:30 ACST / 11am AWST Session 2 Covers: entities; manifestation statements; transcription; sources of information 14 June 3pm NZST / 1pm AEST / 12:30 ACST / 11am AWST Session 3 Covers: entity boundaries; diachronic works; aggregates; representative expressions; implementation scenarios; community resources 21 June 3pm NZST / 1pm AEST / 12:30 ACST / 11am AWST Please use this link to register: https://ala-events.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__5xg5EiIQomL7W4dz4uRdg Anoushka ORDAC Chair Anoushka McGuire | Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1, National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4524 | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs
