The goal of this temporary project (it will run during 2013) is to support the work of the Library of Congress, OCLC, and others in determining what the future of bibliographic description will hold. It is now available at <http://experimental.oclc.org/marcusage/> and any feedback or requests for specific reports are welcome. Any of you eager to know just how often a MARC field or subfield occurs in WorldCat? Check it out! - Karen

Pilot RDA cataloguing course
by Janess Stewart 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Apologies for cross-posting. Dear colleagues The National Library of New Zealand (NLNZ) is planning to conduct a pilot course in Original Cataloguing in RDA in Dunedin in February 2013. The intention is that, if successful, this would be followed by courses in other parts of the country. The NLNZ intends to transition from cataloguing with AACR2 to RDA around April 2013. Three days is not sufficient to cover every aspect of RDA but the course will provide a starting point for original cataloguing in the new standard. It covers the basics of cataloguing using RDA with an emphasis on monographs, as well as use of the online toolkit. Content will be delivered using presentations, discussion and practical exercises. The course will use the materials developed by the National Library of Australia for their Resouce Description and Access : train the trainer course. It will held at the University of Otago on February 19, 20 and 21, 2013. The cost to attendees is not finalised but will be limited to catering. Attendees are responsible for their own travel related expenses. Copies of the full documentation will be made available online and should be printed out by attendees prior to the course. In addition, there will be precourse reading. Prerequisites It is expected that those attending the course have an excellent working knowledge of AACR2 and will have access to the RDA toolkit in their library by the end of February 2013. Subscriptions to the toolkit are available to New Zealand libraries via EPIC http://epic.org.nz/about-epic/subscription-options#Opt-in Expressions of interest Places on this pilot course are limited to a maximum of 12 participants, so please register your interest by submitting an expression of interest (EOI) with the following information: · Name and contact details · An indication of what you hope to gain from the training and how you might use it in your library EOIs should be submitted by email to janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> by close of business on Thursday 24 January 2013. Allocation of course places A notification of your course enrolment will be sent to you after the EOI period has closed. In the event that a course is over subscribed, other applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified of the situation. Individuals will be informed if a place becomes available. Further information I am on leave in the new year until January 22nd, so any enquiries about the course during that time should be directed to Chris Todd by email at chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz> or by phone on (04) 4743093.

OCLC and NZ holdings

FORWARDED ON BEHALF OF Ruth Lewis. PLEASE REPLY TO: Ruth.lewis(a)lincoln.ac.nz<mailto:Ruth.lewis@lincoln.ac.nz> Hi all Two questions about OCLC and Te Puna: 1 Can someone tell me how to see only NZ holdings on OCLC? We are using the Connexion client. 2 If we delete holdings from OCLC, I think they are automatically reflected in Te Puna. Does the same happen the other way round i.e. if we deleted from Te Puna, would that show in OCLC?

How to prepare for RDA
by Chris Rae Todd 22 Nov '12

22 Nov '12

Hi folks, I thought some of you might be interested in this compilation of some emails originally sent to the AUTOCAT email list 1. What is the best way for catalogers to prepare for the full implementation of RDA on March 31, 2013? What do you recommend in terms of courses, webinars, training materials, handbooks, etc.? David Simon Librarian II New Haven Free Public Library New Haven, CT Phone: 203-946-7459 Fax: 203-946-8140 Email: dsimon(a)nhfpl.org<mailto:dsimon@nhfpl.org> 2. I found the free webinar on the RDA Toolkit to be very helpful. You learn to navigate the rules and what's in them. Barbara Brownell. Multicultural Books & Videos 3. a. http://www.loc.gov/catworkshop/RDA training materials b. Use of controlled substances )-: This is not an official statement from LC. The first reflects official LC policy and what is done within LC, and is available free for all. The second does not reflect LC policy, but might help in its own way. Aaron Wolfe Kuperman Library of Congress, ABA USPL, Law Cataloging Section This is NOT an official communication from the Library of Congress. 4. The Library of Congress has comprehensive training material available online, for free. Look under the Training block at: http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/ Adam Schiff has an excellent side-by-side comparison between AACR2 and RDA. Multiple versions are available at his home page: http://faculty.washington.edu/aschiff/ The following websites offer various snapshots of the changes associated with RDA: Changes from AACR2, by the JSC: http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/5sec7rev.pdf MARC21 changes for RDA, by LC: http://www.loc.gov/marc (select "RDA in MARC" link on the page) OCLC changes for RDA: http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/technicalbulletins (#258, 260, 261) The following titles are available from ALA Publishing (www.alastore.ala.org<http://www.alastore.ala.org>), as a sample of handbooks, read the reviews and decide whether to buy: Oliver, Chris. Introducing RDA: a Guide to the Basics. (ISBN: 978-0-8389-3594-1) $45. Maxwell, Robert. Maxwell's Handbook for RDA: Explaining and Illustrating RDA, Resource Description and Access using MARC. (ISBN: 978-0-8389-1172-3) $85. El-Sherbini, Magda. RDA: Strategies for Implementation. (ISBN: 978-0-8389-1168-6) $65. ALA's ALCTS (Association for Library Collections and Technical Services), offers a number of webinars: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/cat. (Pay at first, then they transition to free later on.) A variety of state and regional groups are offering various programs, workshops, etc. In general, paying for training offers the ability to ask questions as you go. Free material requires more self-motivation to navigate and may have a scope or focus beyond your immediate needs. One must therefore balance time and money investments in choosing which route to follow. In the end, nothing replaces access to and working with the actual standard though. Catalogers currently trained in AACR2 may find the "backdoor" access of the online Toolkit's mapping from AACR2 to RDA to be particularly beneficial at first -- the FRBR underpinnings of RDA results in some unexpected locations for various rules (the new locales make sense when one reflects on things, but can be challenging to find in the heat of the moment). The print version offers an access model that may be more financially palatable, at the detriment of lacking the online version's bells and whistles, and of being somewhat out of date. John F. Myers, Catalog Librarian Schaffer Library, Union College Schenectady NY 12308 myersj(a)union.edu<mailto:myersj@union.edu> 518-388-6623 5. I was actually thinking about this some myself this week. Here are three helpful tools I have found. ALCTS YouTube channel for RDA: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1AAFB573158DC4A1&feature=plcp ALCTS webinar archive: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/past/webinar LibGuide on RDA from the University of Montana: http://libguides.lib.umt.edu/RDA I have to say, I have found the LibGuide to be the most helpful of these so far. I was thinking about creating a LibGuide for the other employees at my library, but I may just share this one with them and save myself the work. I hope these resources help! Emily Krug Emerging Technologies and Cataloging Librarian Somerset Community College Learning Commons Somerset, KY 606-451-6715 emily.krug(a)kctcs.edu<mailto:emily.krug@kctcs.edu> 6. Lots and Lots of training. Repetition to become familiar with the concepts and applications. I noticed the LC RDA training courses can be helpful, but some were prepared in March, and a lot of things have changed since then. I got a bit lost because the version of RDA I was looking at on my computer did not look the same as the version in March 2012, so once you get past that and past the increasing amount of outdated information shared, they can be helpful. Since my emphasis is authority control, I am getting the most out of MARC21 for Authority data and cross-checking against RDA, LC PCC PS, LC guidelines and DCMZl. I was worried I was getting too old to pick up this new way of looking at things, but I think I may have a handle on it...only because we have been going over and over and over these principles. Judith Kirk Coordinator, Authority Control Western Michigan University Libraries Kalamazoo, MI 49008 I hope people find at least some of these responses useful cheers Chris Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz> The National Library is pleased to announce the official reopening on 27 November 2012 of its refurbished Wellington building.
