by Bridget Jennings 17 Sep '25

17 Sep '25

Kia ora koutou, Apologies for cross-posting. As a follow-up to our recent CatSIG discussions about professional development and education opportunities the CatSIG committee is doing further work investigating the need for a New Zealand-based cataloguing paper. We’ve put together a short survey specifically about this topic – link here<https://lianza.wildapricot.org/EmailTracker/LinkTracker.ashx?linkAndRecipie…>. The survey runs until 15 October. Please pass this on to any colleagues or associates that may be cataloguers or people interested in cataloguing; the more responses we get the better the picture of the appetite for a cataloguing paper.

Feedback Survey about Form Subdivision ($v) Omission from Subject Headings
by Tali Boardman 25 Aug '25

25 Aug '25

The ALA Core Subject Analysis Committee Working Group on $v Retention invites you to participate in a survey investigating potential impacts on library collections, catalogues, staff, and patrons of the Library of Congress' omission of form subdivisions ($v) in subject headings as part of their "Modern MARC<https://www.loc.gov/cds/downloads/ModernMARC.pdf>" cataloguing practice. (For a detailed explanation of the change, a periodically-updated informational statement from the Working Group can be found here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IVzQP5483TEorq1ncrL6af68b0Dw4tA7GhaQOQS…>.) This survey is intended for library workers, archivists, and others utilizing Library of Congress subject headings in their institutions. Please feel free to share widely with anyone you think might be affected by the omission of $v and interested in providing feedback. The survey will take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete; it contains three sections related to genres and form subdivisions ($v) in your catalogue and library processes. You will also be asked to identify the kind of library you work for and your role(s), the ILS (integrated library system) and discovery layer/public-facing catalogue your institution uses, and which library information networks you utilize. The survey is anonymous and does not collect personal information of any kind. Survey results will be used to inform the Working Group's advocacy work. Please click the following link to participate: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSerZt_dstDv9QM27YRX4n__c59AgztlyjX… The survey will close on Friday, September 19, 2025. If you have questions about the survey or Working Group, please email Deborah.Tomaras(a)marist.edu<mailto:Deborah.Tomaras@marist.edu>. Thank you for contributing to the conversation!

A change in coding for NLNZ local genre/form terms
by Joanne Rowan 15 Jul '25

15 Jul '25

Kia ora koutou, The National Library of New Zealand (NLNZ) is changing the subfield 2 coding of its established local genre/form terms, and dropping the use of subfield 5 for these terms. Our practice had been to code our local genre/form terms as 655 7 ‡a <term> ‡2 local ‡5 Nz (for example, 655 7 ‡a Sophisticated picture books. ‡2 local ‡5 Nz) From 14 July 2025 onwards, we will be using 655 7 ‡a <term> ‡2 nznb (for example, 655 7 ‡a Sophisticated picture books. ‡2 nznb) The change in coding eliminates the need for subfield 5, and provides consistency with our other authority work. You can request a file of MARC21 authority records for NLNZ genre/form terms by contacting nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz>. Please email nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> with any questions.

This document is used as a starting point for NLNZ cataloguers but may be of interest to others. As well as links to all our MAPs and supporting documentation it includes an expected workflow, questions to start your thinking when deciding how to describe a resource and links to resources to help make decisions. NLNZ cataloguers are now training in music sound recordings and cartographic resources and you will start to see records for these resources soon.
