Cataloguing fiction intended for children and young adults
by Sandra McKenzie 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Kia ora koutou The National Library of New Zealand is changing its approach to subject headings when cataloguing fiction intended for children and young adults. For many years, we have followed the standards of the Library of Congress in its Children’s and Young Adults’ Cataloging Program (previously called the Annotated Card Program), using Children’s Subject Headings (MARC coding 650_1) in bibliographic records for this type of material. We have now decided to stop this practice, preferring instead to use Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) and/or standard Library of Congress Subject Headings with the subdivision "Juvenile fiction" as appropriate. As with adult materials, we will continue to add a local genre/form term to support the retrieval of New Zealand literature, for example: 655 7 |a Children's stories, New Zealand. |2 local |5 Nz Regards Sandra Sandra McKenzie | Acting Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 2 National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial +64 4 4623926 | Extn: 3926 | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs

Changes to the Beta RDA Toolkit
by Catherine Amey 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Kia ora tātou I just thought I’d point out that there have been some helpful new changes to the Beta RDA Toolkit, live this morning! There’s now a persistent blue button taking you back to the top of the longer element pages, and the rather opaque Detailed, High-level and Parent element groups have been removed (as discussed at the CatSIG seminar yesterday). There have also been some layout changes, with instruction options highlighted more clearly. This seems very timely, and highlights the agile nature of the Toolkit, Have a lovely weekend Catherine Catherine Amey Authority Record Coordinator National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa PO Box 1467, Wellington 6140, New Zealand Direct Dial: +64 4704485 | Extn: 3485 | www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua [cid:image008.jpg@01D357A2.44114FA0]
