National Library seeks input into support plan for transition to new cataloguing standard
by Sandra McKenzie 31 Mar '26

31 Mar '26

Kia ora koutou, The National Library is thinking about ways to best support the transition of New Zealand libraries to the cataloguing standard Official Resource Description and Access (RDA). This standard will come into effect next year, replacing the Original RDA which will not be accessible via the Web after May 11, 2027. Original RDA was first published online in June 2010, with the last update in April 2017. As you will appreciate, information technology has changed a lot since then. There have already been changes in MARC records sourced from the National Library of New Zealand, and over the coming months, New Zealand libraries will be seeing changes in records sourced internationally as the transition to the Official RDA gets closer. You can read more about the changes in our MARC records here: https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/cataloguing-standards-at-the-national-lib… If you would like to send in ideas, or get in touch for more information, please email Sandra McKenzie, Senior Collection Description Specialist, National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa (email:sandra.mckenzie@dia.govt.nz) before 30 April 2026. Thank you in advance for your manaakitanga and ideas.

Subject analysis working group findings (it's more interesting than this subject line suggests)
by Tali Boardman 30 Jan '26

30 Jan '26

Kia ora, [Apologies for cross-posting. Please feel free to share widely.] The ALA Core Subject Analysis Committee’s Working Group on $v Retention has released its report of research findings and recommendations deriving from the Group’s literature review and library worker survey, which garnered 699 responses, representing multiple library roles, library types, and library communities worldwide. The full report with findings and recommendations may be read here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12sYgYhVSyM1nObY-QeH-VySjYHxoSQTEj2xwBFT… The Group’s work began in March 2025, amid library community concerns about the Library of Congress’s (LC) January 2025 announcement that they would be discontinuing use of form subdivisions ($v) in subject headings, in favor of only including Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT). A form subdivision is the section of a subject heading that specifies that a topic appears within a specific form or media, for example the ending parts of the following subjects: Berlin (Germany) $v Guidebooks; Dinosaurs $v Juvenile fiction; Mendieta, Ana, $d 1948-1985 $v Catalogs; Miniature books $v Specimens. Some key findings from the Group’s research: * No user studies to date demonstrate that removing $v improves patron search or recall. * Patrons primarily do basic keyword searches, and examine the first few search results screens and individual records, valuing subject context and glanceability. Having found records of interest, patrons click on the subject strings (including those with $v) to find other materials. Faceting and advanced searches are not generally utilized by patrons. * 59% of survey respondents report that omitting form subdivisions would make patron searching more difficult (as opposed to 14% that say it wouldn’t), and 57% assert that $v omission would impede access to specific collections and types of material (versus 12% that say it wouldn’t). Missing form subdivisions disproportionately impact vulnerable library patrons, including children and socioeconomically challenged communities, who may lack search skills or public catalogs with robust genre display/search options. * 60% of public catalogs lack a dedicated search genre/form search option, so patrons could not search by form as they could by title, author, or subject. 42% of public catalogs lack dedicated genre/form facets for filtering search results, so patrons would be unable to narrow a topic by form if $v were omitted. * 55% of survey respondents were unaware that LC planned to omit form subdivisions, indicating a lack of adequate outreach and input-gathering from LC. Percentages are higher in certain library types. * 71% of respondents to question 3.8 oppose $v omission, whereas only 14% support it. * Requiring libraries to individually add $v information or configure catalogs disproportionately impacts lesser-resourced libraries, who are least likely to have time, knowledge or resources. 67% of libraries have no time and/or knowledge to add form subdivisions into their catalogs individually for all records that might require them. 55% of libraries cannot or are unsure of their ability to change their public catalog indexes and/or display if needed. In light of these findings and more, the Working Group’s top recommendations are that the Library of Congress: * continue providing form subdivisions in all applicable subject strings included in bibliographic records shared with other libraries, as a public service for library patrons and less-resourced institutions; * continue accepting proposals for new form subdivisions to allow growth for continued patron benefit and to maintain data interoperability between libraries; * retain all authority records containing form subdivisions and all Library of Congress Subject Headings Manual documentation pertaining to their use; * and commit to broad-based outreach regarding all future vocabulary decisions to allow all of the library community to participate in decision-making related to changes that impact them and their patrons. The Working Group requests that our colleagues read the report and consider supporting the Group’s recommendations. Given the centrality of user needs fulfillment and equitable access to the library profession, it is imperative for us all to support the most vulnerable libraries and their patrons, and oppose changes that leave these communities behind. Organizations wishing to endorse the recommendations can do so via this form: https://forms.gle/XwmvnfCQ7TkriRky7, or by contacting Group chair Deborah Tomaras at Deborah.Tomaras(a)marist.edu<mailto:Deborah.Tomaras@marist.edu>.

Response to the Library of Congress' Genre/Form Subdivisions Announcement
by Joanne Rowan 12 Jan '26

12 Jan '26

[Please forgive cross-posting] Dear colleagues: The Library of Congress has, as of yesterday, circulated an announcement<https://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/subject/form-announcement.pdf> and an FAQ<https://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/subject/formfaq.pdf> about discontinuing the use of $v (form subdivisions) in new cataloging. In the interest of transparency, it should be known that questions in the FAQ were taken, largely verbatim, from a set prepared by the ALA Subject Analysis Committee's Working Group on $v Retention, endorsed by multiple library organizations, and sent to the Library of Congress on September 15, 2025. The complete set of questions and signatories can be seen here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1Xh_J1qQ3ACnV…>. While we are glad that the Library of Congress responded to our questions, it is disappointing that the answers were not provided before a final decision on $v was made, and before the library community, which has a substantial stake in the development and usage of Library of Congress vocabularies, could fully understand the implications of this change and weigh in. Further, the answers provided within the announcement and FAQ raise further questions. We urge our colleagues to carefully scrutinize the information in those documents: * no future development of $v allowed (i.e., no possibility of $v Young adult fiction, or $v Kits, or anything else the community still using $v might feel necessary and useful) * the potential "modification" (i.e., removal?) of $v in already existing authority records * no guarantee of retention of either documentation or authorities related to $v long-term * no planned replacement of incredibly popular audience-inclusive $v (e.g., for children's and YA materials) with LCGFT alternatives * no consultation with the library community about which $v will receive LCGFT alternatives or in what form * undercutting of search and display functionality currently existent in a majority of libraries, in favor of fields and functions (655, and particularly 3XX) largely unavailable in library catalogs for post-coordinated searching at this time, and potentially unable to be implemented in the future * scant acknowledgment of the impact on patrons of the lack of "high-level consistency for many terms" in library catalogs, particularly for historic records lacking LCGFT and/or LCDGT * and so on The Working Group has been assessing the ramifications of the discontinuation of $v on library collections, catalogs, services, and—most importantly—library patrons. We are currently drafting our report, including results of a librarian survey which garnered 699 responses across all library types (academic, public, school, tribal, special, governmental, consortial, etc.), and from several countries. We intend to circulate the report widely when completed, hopefully by the end of January, and we hope that the library community and particularly its member organizations will consider our evidence and recommendations. We respectfully request that the Library of Congress delay implementing this change and finalizing a decision on $v before the release of the report, and the gathering of input and addressing of concerns from the library community. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Deborah Tomaras, chair of ALA SAC Working Group on $v Retention Deborah Tomaras (she/her) Metadata and Resource Management Librarian James A.

Practical training for Official RDA - new NLNZ resources released
by Joanne Rowan 22 Oct '25

22 Oct '25

Kia ora koutou The latest release of our practical training resources in Official RDA is now available through Niche Academy. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz The tutorials in this release are: * Amalgamations * Cartographic resources (draft) The Amalgamations tutorial is part of our core practical training. It covers amalgamations that are a seamless mix of still image and text. The Cartographic resources tutorial is a draft and is missing several lessons which we plan to add after the next Toolkit release in February 2026. We have released this tutorial as a draft as we are aware that some libraries are well on the way to implementing Official RDA and may be interested in our thinking for describing this type of resource. As there are now a large number of tutorials they have been arranged in three categories. Training in the first category covers basic concepts. The second category is foundational practical training and assumes a good understanding of the concepts covered in the first category. Training in the third category covers optional additional formats. These are format-specific tutorials aimed at cataloguers already describing these types of resources and assume you have completed the training in the first and second categories so have a good knowledge of Official RDA. Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have questions about our training materials, or just want to talk about RDA.

MARC21 Bibliographic to LRM/RDA/RDF Mapping and Transformation Project Releases Phase I Deliverables
by Ebe Kartus 02 Oct '25

02 Oct '25

Apologies for cross-posting! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 1, 2025 MARC21 Bibliographic to LRM/RDA/RDF Mapping and Transformation Project Releases Phase I Deliverables The MARC21 Bibliographic to LRM/RDA/RDF* Mapping and Transformation (MARC2RDA) Project is pleased to announce the successful completion of its first phase. This open-source project began in 2021 at the University of Washington Libraries in Seattle, and has evolved into an independent, volunteer-led initiative. The aim of the MARC2RDA Project is to create a robust mapping and transformation between legacy MARC21 Bibliographic records and LRM/RDA/RDF. Phase I focused on mapping and converting MARC21 Bibliographic fields considered core in the PCC Bibliographic Standard Record (BSR) for single expression manifestations and select aggregate manifestations. In other words, this first phase has addressed non-aggregates and simple augmentation aggregates. Records for resources not addressed in Phase I are filtered out of the transformation and not processed. Deliverables are accessible through the MARC2RDA Project Landing Page< https://marc2rda.info/wiki/doku.php?id=start>. We welcome the community to provide feedback using the "Community Feedback Template" to create issues in the Project GitHub Repository.< https://github.com/crystalyragui/MARC2RDA/issues/new/choose> To see feedback provided by yourself and others, click here< https://github.com/crystalyragui/MARC2RDA/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aope… >. MARC2RDA Project Phase I outputs provide critical infrastructure and sample data for LRM**-compliant linked data systems across the global library community. The project benefited from active engagement by an international team of RDA**, cataloging, coding, and linked data experts, as well as support from staff and students at the University of Washington Libraries. The team welcomes ongoing exploration, community feedback, and contributors interested in lending a hand with Phase II. Deliverables of Phase I Include: * A GitHub release featuring: * MARC21 Bibliographic to LRM/RDA/RDF mappings as .csv files * MARC21 Bibliographic to LRM/RDA/RDF Transformation, including: * XSLT stylesheets * Documentation for running the transformation * Extensive project documentation in support of further development and community engagement * Transformed MARC21 Bibliographic records output as LRM/RDA/RDF, including: * Subsets of records from the Library of Congress, University of Washington Libraries, and National Library of New Zealand * The full set of transformed records is available as a triplestore * A web-based transformation tool for use with small sets of records, which does not require users to download or run the full XSLT transform on their own For more information about project deliverables, please visit the MARC2RDA Project Landing Page.<https://marc2rda.info/wiki/doku.php?id=start> Phase II of the MARC2RDA Project will start in November 2025.

29 Sep '25

كل ما تحتاج معرفته حول شهادة الأبوة بالمغرب يمكنك تحميل الطلب من خلال الرابط المباشر https://www.targir.com/2025/04/blog-post_14.html معلومات شاملة لاستخراج شهادة الأبوة والإجراءات القانونية المرتبطة بها ما هي شهادة الأبوة في المغرب؟ شهادة الأبوة وثيقة قانونية تصدر بناءً على حكم قضائي، وتُثبت العلاقة البنوية بين الطفل ووالده البيولوجي، في حال عدم وجود عقد زواج رسمي أو تسجيل سابق. تُعَد هذه الشهادة جزءًا من الإجراءات القضائية التي تدخل ضمن قضايا الحالة المدنية. الحالات التي تستوجب استخراج شهادة الأبوة 1. الأطفال غير المسجلين في الحالة المدنية عندما يولد طفل خارج إطار الزواج أو لم يُسجَّل بصفة قانونية في دفتر الحالة المدنية، يحتاج الأب إلى رفع دعوى للحصول على شهادة الأبوة. 2. إثبات النسب في غياب عقد زواج في حالات عدم توفر وثيقة الزواج بين الأبوين، يُلجأ إلى المحكمة لتقديم التصريح بالأبوة. إجراءات الحصول على شهادة الأبوة أولا: رفع دعوى أمام المحكمة يتوجب على الأب أو ولي أمر الطفل تقديم طلب إلى المحكمة الابتدائية التي يقع فيها مقر سكن الطفل أو الأب، وذلك من أجل إصدار حكم قضائي بإثبات الأبوة. ثانياً: الوثائق المطلوبة نسخة من بطاقة التعريف الوطنية عقد الازدياد الخاص بالطفل (إن وُجد) شهادة طبية للولادة شهادة السكنى وثائق أو إثباتات تدعم علاقة الأب بالطفل نموذج شهادة الأبوة pdf تتيح بعض المواقع الإلكترونية تحميل نموذج شهادة الأبوة PDF قابل للطباعة، غير أن إصدارها الرسمي لا يتم إلا بعد حكم قضائي، ويتم توجيهها لمصلحة الحالة المدنية لتسجيل الطفل. الأسئلة الشائعة حول شهادة الأبوة هل يمكن تقديم طلب شهادة الأبوة إلكترونياً؟ لا، المسطرة تظل قضائية وتتطلب الحضور أمام المحكمة. ما هي مدة الحصول على شهادة الأبوة؟ قد تختلف المدة حسب عدد الجلسات، ولكن عادة ما تستغرق بين شهر إلى ثلاثة أشهر، حسب تعقيد الملف. صلة بين شهادة الأبوة وبعض التصاريح القانونية الأخرى تم الربط ضمن هذا الدليل بين شهادة الأبوة وبعض المفاهيم القانونية الأخرى التي يبحث عنها الكثير، مثل: 1. التصريح الأمني وتصريح السفر غالباً ما يُطلب في بعض الحالات القانونية توفير تصريح أمني عند استخراج أوراق ثبوتية، كما هو الحال في: الأوراق المطلوبة لاستخراج تصريح السفر من منطقة التجنيد تصريح أمني مستعجل التصريح الأمني الإلكتروني 2. استبدال التصريح برخصة قيادة في حالات مثل شروط إصدار رخصة قيادة بعد التصريح أو تجديد التصريح إلى رخصة، من المهم التأكد من إثبات الهوية القانونية، وهو ما يجعل شهادة الأبوة ضرورية في بعض الحالات القانونية الخاصة. شهادة الأبوة الغاية من هذه الوثيقة هي إثبات علاقة الأبوة بالابن سواء كان راشدا أم قاصرا وغالبا ما تطلب في بعض المساطر الإدارية. صاحب الطلب المغربي المقيم بالخارج الوثائق المطلوبة بالنسبة للراشد : · بطاقة التسجيل ؛ · الدفتر العائلي بالنسبة للقاصر : · بطاقة تسجيل الأب ؛ · الدفتر العائلي . المصلحة المكلفة باستلام الوثائق المطلوبة المصالح القنصلية التابعة لمحل إقامة صاحب الطلب المصلحة المكلفة بتقديم الخدمة المصالح القنصلية التابعة لمحل إقامة صاحب الطلب في حالة تعذر الحصول على الخدمة مؤسسة الوسيط لأجل الاتصال وزارة الشؤون الخارجية والتعاون مصدر المعلومات (الإدارة المعنية) وزارة الشؤون الخارجية والتعاون_أرشيف يمكنك تحميل الطلب من خلال الرابط المباشر نموذج شهادة الأبوة بالمغرب محكمة الأسرة بـ: [اسم المدينة] رقم الملف: [يُترك للمحكمة] رقم القضية: [يُترك للمحكمة] بيان تصريح بالأبوة أنا الموقع أسفله: الاسم الكامل: [الاسم الكامل للأب] رقم بطاقة التعريف الوطنية: [رقم CIN] تاريخ ومكان الازدياد: [تاريخ ومكان ولادة الأب] العنوان الكامل: [عنوان الإقامة] المهنة: [المهنة الحالية] أُصرّح بموجب هذا، وبكامل قواي العقلية والقانونية، بما يلي: أن الطفل (ة) المسمى (ة): [اسم الطفل/ة] المولود (ة) بتاريخ: [تاريخ الولادة] بـ: [مكان الولادة] هو(هي) ابني/ابنتي البيولوجي(ة)، وقد وُلد(ت) نتيجة علاقة أبوية قائمة بيني وبين السيدة: [اسم الأم]، المولودة بتاريخ: [تاريخ ميلاد الأم]، والحاملة لرقم بطاقة التعريف الوطنية: [رقم CIN الأم]. وأتحمل كامل المسؤولية القانونية والأبوية تجاه هذا الطفل/ة، وأطلب من المحكمة الموقرة إصدار حكم قضائي يثبت نسب الطفل لي، وتمكينه من التسجيل في الحالة المدنية. الإمضاء الإسم الكامل: _____________________ التوقيع: ___________________________ التاريخ: ____ / ____ / ________ ملاحظات : يُرفق هذا النموذج بالوثائق الداعمة كـ: نسخة البطاقة الوطنية، شهادة السكنى، شهادة الولادة، وغيرها. يُودَع لدى كتابة ضبط المحكمة الابتدائية (قسم قضاء الأسرة) التي يقع ضمن اختصاصها محل ولادة الطفل أو محل سكن الأب.

Feedback Survey about Form Subdivision ($v) Omission from Subject Headings
by Tali Boardman 26 Aug '25

26 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.

A change in coding for NLNZ local genre/form terms
by Joanne Rowan 16 Jul '25

16 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.

02 May '25

LIANZA CAT SIG - CATALOGUING UPDATE AND DISCUSSION FORUM Tuesday May 20, 10.00AM-11.00AM It has been a while since cataloguers have had a chance to get together to kōrero about cataloguing issues, and a lot has been going on! This is an opportunity to come together virtually to discuss what’s happening in the cataloguing world, including the progress of Official RDA. As a starting point, these are some discussion questions we want to discuss: Cataloguing in general * Are you a sole cataloguer, or are you in a team? * How much cataloguing is a part of your role? * How much original / copy / [other] cataloguing do you do? * What has changed over the last few years with respect to cataloguing in your institution? * What challenges are at the forefront of your mind and your colleagues ' minds? * Do you feel you have enough cataloguing support in your role? Official RDA * Have you had a chance to engage with official RDA, e.g. in training, reading, or watching webinars? * What changes have you seen coming through in catalogue records (e.g. NLNZ official RDA implementation)? * How have these changes affected what you do? * What approach have you taken to decide how to respond to the changes? * Have you started original cataloguing using Official RDA Communication * How much communication do you have with cataloguers outside of your institution? * Would it be helpful to have more communication? * What ways? If you can’t make it but want to send some feedback, contact catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com>.

Kia ora koutou, National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa understands that the Library of Congress has proposed changes to their current subject headings relating to Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico. The Policy, Training, and Co-operative Programs Division of the Library of Congress will make the final decisions on changing these headings.

The National Library of New Zealand uses LCSH in the records we create. The National Library of New Zealand will now also create local authorities for Mount Denali and the Gulf of Mexico and use these for all records in our catalogue to which they apply. The National Library of New Zealand will keep a watching brief on any further changes that may be proposed for the LCSH.

28 Feb '25

Kia ora koutou In August 2024 NLNZ cataloguers began cataloguing using Official RDA. In December 2024 we released the first part of our practical training resources. The second part of our practical training in Official RDA is now available through Niche Academy. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz The tutorials in this release cover aggregate manifestations and encoding Official RDA in MARC 21. The new tutorials have been added to the Practical Cataloguing pathway. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz/pathway/79487 There is also a bonus tutorial with some miscellaneous extra lessons. We may add more lessons to this tutorial over time. NLNZ has implemented Official RDA for serial works and music scores and we hope to release tutorials covering these formats following the July Toolkit release along with a tutorial on parallel aggregates. As our implementation proceeds we’ve changed some of our earlier decisions on how we encode Official RDA in MARC 21. We’ve updated the website to reflect this and you can see the updated decisions here https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/cataloguing-standards-at-the-national-lib… Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have questions about our training materials, or just want to talk about RDA.

RDA Steering Committee January meeting - public session
by Bridget Jennings 17 Jan '25

17 Jan '25

Kia ora koutou, apologies for cross-posting. Below is an invitation from Charlotte Christiansen to attend the public session of the next RDA Steering Committee meeting next week. Ngā mihi, Bridget Jennings CatSIG Committee Kia ora, Happy 2025 everyone, I hope you've had an enjoyable holiday period. Next week is the January meeting for the RDA Steering Committee (RSC). The public session falls for us on Thursday 23rd, 8am (NZDT)/6am (AEDT)/3am (AWST) which means a very early start for some and an almost-work-hours start for others. There are no proposals or discussion papers on the agenda this time, but there will be a demonstration of the German cataloguing manual used by the DACH region (Germany, Austria & German-speaking Switzerland) in their implementation of Official RDA. This is a very different approach to that taken by National Library of New Zealand and may be of interest as a contrasting example of how communities are implementing Official RDA. Please note that public sessions of RSC meetings are not recorded to watch later. If you are interested in attending the session please email the RSC Secretary on rscsecretary(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:rscsecretary@rdatoolkit.org> to be included as an observer and to receive the relevant attendance information. Ngā mihi, Charlotte Christensen, MLIS, RLIANZA Oceania region representative to the RDA Steering Committee

Practical training for Official RDA
by Joanne Rowan 02 Dec '24

02 Dec '24

Kia ora koutou In August 2024 NLNZ cataloguers began cataloguing using Official RDA. The first part of our practical training in Official RDA is now available through Niche Academy. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz This release has tutorials to help you prepare for practical training, begin to describe information resources using RDA elements with no range or a range of Nomen, and learn the patterns when determining values for Authorized Access Points. It also includes a number of resources to support training, including training MAPs, worksheets and extra readings and activities. Further training will be released over the next twelve to eighteen months. A second release of basic practical training is scheduled for February 2025. This will include aggregate manifestations and encoding Official RDA into MARC 21. Training and beta-testing is underway for serial works and music scores and we expect to release these training resources mid 2025. During 2025 NLNZ cataloguers will train in formats such as sound recordings, integrating resources and cartographic resources with the associated training materials released through 2025 and 2026. To hear more about the NLNZ journey to implementation of Official RDA see presentations by Anoushka McGuire’s https://oclc.wistia.com/medias/awt6os4j02 and Charlotte Christensen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMdMuhqRZeY Charlotte’s presentation starts at 01:00:43.

Unfortunately, following extensive testing of a variety of solutions, we have exhausted available workarounds to enable access to users external to the University of Auckland.

Cataloguing standard feedback requested
by Charlotte Christensen 05 Sep '24

05 Sep '24

Kia ora, We're coming up quickly to the November RDA Steering Committee (RSC) meeting and we have a number of papers for discussion on the agenda. More information about RDA as a standard and about the RSC's role can be found here: https://www.rdatoolkit.org/rsc. Oceania is represented on the RSC through ORDAC (Oceania region RDA Committee) and currently by me as the ORDAC representative to the RSC. RDA Steering Committee<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/rsc> The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is responsible for maintaining RDA: Resource Description and Access. RDA is a package of data elements, guidelines, and instructions for creating library and cultural heritage resource metadata that are well-formed according to international models for user-focussed linked data applications. RDA is published by: www.rdatoolkit.org As always, it would be great to get any feedback that is relevant to descriptive specialists in our region; these are the opportunities to contribute to RDA to make sure it really is an international standard and not just dictated to us by the needs and desires of others. Proposals We have three proposals to consider, including a minor revision to ORDAC's own paper on dual-language names. All of these are fairly straightforward, but if you have any comment on any or all of them I would be very happy to hear it: * RSC/ORDAC/2024/1/rev<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/sites/default/files/uploads/RSC_ORDAC_2024_1_rev…> - Proposal on dual-language naming of Corporate Body and Place This is simply a minor revision of wording and placement of options from previous version which was circulated at the beginning of the year. It has taken time to help people in other regions understand why this is important to us, but we have made significant progress and expect to vote on this at the coming meeting. * RSC/ExamplesEditor/2024/1<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/sites/default/files/uploads/RSC-ExamplesEditor-2…> - Proposal to add glossary definitions for fictitious entity and non-human entity While the terms are explained in the RDA guidance<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Guidance/Index?externalId=en-US_topic_cnj_hxj…>, they also appear as terms on various element pages and the Examples Editor has recommended that the definitions be added to the glossary for easier reference. * RSC/TechWG/2024/2/rev<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/sites/default/files/uploads/RSC_TechnicalWG_2024…> - Proposal to revise definitions of aggregate, aggregating work and aggregates guidance This paper proposes some rearrangement of the aggregates guidance page and clarification in the definitions of two aggregate model terms. It is somewhat dense reading, but the changes overall are fairly minor and are intended to make the concepts easier to understand rather than making substantive changes to any of the concepts. Discussion papers There is also a discussion paper for consideration. Discussion papers allow communities to give feedback on future changes before they reach the point of being defined proposals. Issues raised in discussion papers are at the high level, and will include recommendations but there may be significant change between a discussion paper and the eventual proposal, dependent on the feedback received. Accepting a recommendation in a discussion paper does not result in a new element being available after the next release, there will always be a proposal document first. In the case of RSC/ExtentWG/2024/1/rev2<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/sites/default/files/uploads/RSC_ExtentWG_2024_1-…> there has been a long history of work in relation to statements of extent. During the 3R project to move from Original RDA to Official RDA, the pages relating to extent were flagged as a problem and the Extent Working Group have now been working on this for several years before providing us with the current proposal. The discussion paper is very dense and quite long at 40 pages, so requires some focus to engage with. Nevertheless, it is important that we make the time to consider whether the direction of the suggested changes will meet our needs. It's easier to raise concerns about the general shape of the changes at this point than later on at the proposal stage. To help when you are engaging with this discussion paper, ORDAC offers the following comments for consideration: · what matters is the proposed RDA structure; the ISBDM references are there for comparison as another standard based on IFLA LRM but are not actually part of RDA; · not all of the suggested new elements will be useful to all descriptive agencies, but RDA is attempting to be relevant to a wide audience across the GLAM sector - this means that some of the elements being discussed may be completely irrelevant to the descriptions you currently make, while others will be a better fit, and that's okay; · extent is about more than just how many pages there are in a book, it's about measurements, so things you may not have expected are part of this paper (e.g. dimensions, image resolution, number of sound channels, etc.); · the element Manifestation: extent of manifestation would be converted to a superelement under the changes suggested in this discussion paper which means that you can compile the values of the subelements to make a single statement. This matches what we currently do in a lot of cases, putting multiple values together as a single statement (e.g. 369 pages, 16 pages of plates) and is equivalent to what happens with other elements such as Manifestation: publication statement where we can choose to compile the subelements together into a single statement (e.g. London : Penguin, 2024). This is not what everyone will always want to do (it is possible to want to keep place entirely separate from name of publisher) but it allows that combination to be put together. It is important when reading the discussion paper to recognise that most of the elements being discussed are not new superelements; · the discussion paper makes some very specific changes to the use of the term 'leaf' and terms related to that which come up several times but are consolidated in the section "Vocabulary terms related to sheets and leaves" (section 13.2, pages 31-36); ORDAC is still considering our own response to this discussion paper, but it would be fair to say that on the whole we are in favour of the direction suggested by the Extent Working Group, with the main exception being the section on the suggested new element Manifestation: manifestation numbering of extent statement (section 7, pages 26-29). While this element may be a good addition to the RDA structure, much of the discussion around it seems to be technically incorrect and this makes it difficult to be sure how it is actually going to be used. It is my personal view that where they are talking about adding a "transcription guideline" what they actually mean is to add a "string encoding scheme". Transcription guidelines assist us in formatting text, such as dealing with capitalisation, diacritical marks, punctuation and symbols, while string encoding schemes tell us how to combine values together to form a single value including adding or removing punctuation. String encoding schemes are also considered to belong to descriptive communities rather than being part of the RDA instructions themselves; this currently happens with the legacy instructions on how to arrange a value for authorised access points (e.g. converting Sidney Mead as seen on a title page to Mead, Sidney E. (Sidney Earl), 1904-1999 as an access point, including the punctuation changes and order of additions). There may be other issues that we discover as well, or you may find other problems or concerns as you work through this discussion paper - please do raise them as all commentary is useful. Please send all feedback on the above papers to me at charlotte(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:charlotte@rdatoolkit.org> by end of working day Friday 20 September so I can incorporate it into the ORDAC formal response for the RSC meeting. Any feedback you think of after this date is still very much welcomed, but will likely not make it into the formal written response. Also, please forward this on to any other interested parties or lists. ngā mihi, Charlotte Christensen, RLIANZA MLIS Oceania Representative to the RDA Steering Committee

Invitation to participate in a survey of Library and Information Studies (LIS) undergraduate alumni from the Open Polytechnic Kia ora koutou Apologies for cross posting Where are you now? A survey of Library and Information Studies (LIS) undergraduate alumni We are inviting participation in this longitudinal study of the career paths and graduate perceptions of Open Polytechnic LIS graduates since they entered the workforce. There is a value to the profession as well as to our programmes, and we would be grateful for your participation. The OpenPolytechnic has been offering Library and Information Studies programmes for more than 25 years. We are calling on past and current students who have studied for a LIS qualification with the Open Polytechnic. We want to know what our students are doing now - exploring the career paths and graduate perceptions of our alumni to identify the most useful transferable skills, knowledge, and benefits of study. We are also keen to hear from those now in non-traditional roles outside the sector. Your participation may influence Open Polytechnic's future Library and Information studies (LIS) curriculum. Purpose:  Research questions:  Identify occupations and roles for our alumni (inside or outside the profession) 1. What occupations and roles have alumni been employed in, either within or outside the LIS professions, from graduation to the present day?  (Where are they now?).   What were the most useful skills, knowledge and benefits of study, alumni gained from their qualifications?  2. What transferable skills did alumni gain from their qualifications? 3. How might this influence future course planning?  4. Learn about the professional development needs of LIS professionals (including current views on micro-credentialling) 5. Determine level of interest in an Alumni association (kāhui ākonga onamata) for Open Polytechnic LIS graduates This is the link to the survey: https://forms.office.com/r/T4v7KZh1J3 The survey opens today and is available for two weeks and will close on the 1st of July 2024. The survey is anonymous.  Survey participants can enter a draw to win one of three $100 book vouchers. (A second survey will gather your contact details once the form has been submitted - this cannot be tracked back to your survey response). We would also like to hear more about your thoughts – if you would like to participate in an interview or a focus group, you can record your interest in the same way once the form has been submitted.   Please share this message with others who have studied with us, including those who may not be members of these lists. If you experience any problems completing the survey, please contact Pam Bidwell regarding technical questions about the survey.

More NLNZ Official RDA training resources available
by Joanne Rowan 17 Jun '24

17 Jun '24

Kia ora koutou In February 2024, NLNZ cataloguers began the second phase of our Official RDA training. This phase began with three days of presentations, discussions, quizzes and interactive activities. The presentations and quizzes have been repackaged as Niche Academy tutorials and are now available on the NLNZ Niche Academy site. https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz This second phase of training is a deeper dive into concepts preparing cataloguers for practical training. NLNZ cataloguers are now well into the practical phase of training and we are planning for implementation. The training resources for this practical training will be made available later in the year. To hear more about the NLNZ journey to implementation of Official RDA see Anoushka McGuire’s recent presentation https://oclc.wistia.com/medias/awt6os4j02 Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have questions about our training materials, or just want to talk about RDA.

Survey on AI in relation to RDA
by Bridget Jennings 28 May '24

28 May '24

Kia ora, apologies for cross-posting, The RDA Board-RDA Steering Committee joint working group on AI in cataloguing is conducting a landscape review of how people are using AI and machine-assisted cataloguing in their work. They have created a survey and would encourage anyone using RDA (Original or Official) to fill it in. Anyone not currently using RDA but considering doing so in the future is welcome to do so as well. The survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/iwPFBWuYTku6xKJ48 The timeframe is quite short, with responses due by the end of the workday Wednesday 5 June (5pm AWST at latest, please). Thanks in advance for your support in ensuring the Oceania region view is included.

11 Apr '24

Kia ora, Next week is the RSC's April meeting, and there will be discussion of our ORDAC proposal on dual-language names. This is the first proposal the Oceania region has put forward since the 3R project and it is looking like it will be quite the conversation: see the formal comments from RSC members on the RSC website<http://rda-rsc.org/RSC/ORDAC/2024/1> <http://rda-rsc.org/RSC/ORDAC/2024/1> and in particular ORDAC's written response<http://rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/RSC-ORDAC-2024-1-summary-ORDAC.pdf> <http://rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/RSC-ORDAC-2024-1-summary-ORDAC.pdf> to those comments. The proposal will be discussed at the public session, which for us falls on Wednesday 17 April at 7-9am NZST/5-7am AEST. If you want to attend to hear the discussion (which is not recorded) please email the RSC Secretary at rscsecretary(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:rscsecretary@rdatoolkit.org> who will provide further information and the Zoom link. ngā mihi nui, Charlotte Christensen Oceania representative to the RSC 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]

RDA proposal for community review
by Charlotte Christensen 08 Mar '24

08 Mar '24

Kia ora, The RDA Steering Committee's Technical Working Group have put together a short proposal on a technical aspect of the RDA elements relating to work groups. This is a fairly new concept but the proposal is straightforward - it's about where the elements sit in the hierarchy, rather than changing the elements themselves. You can find the proposal here: http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/RSC_TechnicalWG_2024_1.pdf If you have any feedback on the proposal for me to take back to the RSC, please email me at charlotte(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:charlotte@rdatoolkit.org> by the end of your work day Friday 22 March. ngā mihi, Charlotte ORDAC RSC representative 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]

National Library of New Zealand RDA Toolkit update: Policy Statements and draft documentation now available
by Anoushka McGuire 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

Tēnā koutou/Greetings to you all, The National Library of New Zealand has reached another significant milestone in our RDA journey with another load of Policy Statements to the RDA Toolkit. Following the January 2024 release, these are now visible at https://access.rdatoolkit.org/. Where are the Policy Statements? You can explore our Policy Statements in the RDA Toolkit via the link in the Policies tab or by selecting ‘NLNZ PS’ from the menu at the top right of any of the element pages. If the NLNZ Policy Statements don’t appear in the drop-down list, you will need to ensure you have ticked ‘NLNZ PS’ in your Views. What Policy Statements are included? The NLNZ have loaded 98% of all the Policy Statements we intend to add to the RDA Toolkit. Our intention is to have Policy Statements at every element in the RDA Toolkit plus at all options on Entity and Guidance pages. If you don’t see any Policy Statements where you expect one, it is likely this is one of the few left to load. What about supporting documentation? With the January release we have published draft versions of some of our supporting documentation. Throughout the NLNZ Policy Statements you’ll see references to the NLNZ Guidance. This is a document to support cataloguers to use the NLNZ Policy Statements in conjunction with the RDA Toolkit. When you follow this link you will find a landing page<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=d9c0232c-5588-49…> within the RDA Toolkit, with a draft version of our Guidance that can be downloaded. Please note that the NLNZ guidance is still a Work-In-Progress and is not complete or finalised. Other documentation we have made available this release are: * StaticNonAggregateText MAP<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=00b4b65d-c88e-48…> (Our first format-based Metadata Application Profile (MAP) – this lists just the elements the NLNZ will use for describing a book) * NLNZ Vocabulary Encoding Schemes (NLNZ VES)<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=652b7835-2d9a-44…> * NLNZ String Encoding Schemes (NLNZ SES)<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=a248e9c9-4900-47…> * NLNZ alternative arrangement of Manifestation: extent of manifestation<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=211ade4b-f455-46…> * NLNZ language guidance for RDA<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=47dc641d-8ed7-46…> What about training? NLNZ cataloguers have recently completed the first phase of our Official RDA training. This first phase of training covers basic concepts, refreshing what is already known from Original RDA and introducing some new concepts. A package of our training resources is now available. The package consists of: * a plan for a seven-week programme of weekly discussions; * weekly prescribed readings and Niche Academy tutorials; * a Further Reading List. This training plan assumes you have a subscription to the RDA Toolkit. Subscriptions are available through EPIC https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/epic. If your library is a Kōtui library you already have access. Details on subscribing directly are here https://www.rdatoolkit.org/subscribe and a free 30-day trial is available. NLNZ cataloguers will be starting our second phase of training shortly and the training materials for this phase will also be made available. Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> to receive a copy of the training resources or for advice. This is really exciting, where can I find out more information? You can check out the December issue of Catapult<https://www.lianza.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Catapult-December-2023…> (the newsletter of the LIANZA Cataloguing Special Interest Group) for a short overview of the work the NLNZ has been doing to prepare to implement the new RDA Toolkit later this year. You can also email the NLNZ cataloguing teams at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have any questions about our Policy Statements, documentation, training or anything else!

08 Feb '24

Tēnā tātou Forwarding for anyone who is interested in completing this survey, Noho ora mai Nā Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Radical Cataloging <RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> On Behalf Of Karen Snow Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2024 3:29 AM To: RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Cataloging Ethics Study [You don't often get email from ksnow(a)dom.edu. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] *Please excuse cross-postings* Dear colleagues, We are conducting a follow-up study about cataloging ethics, and we need your help, even if you completed our 2019 questionnaire on the same topic. We would like to invite those individuals currently working in public, academic, school, or special libraries, or an archive or museum, whose official job duties include cataloging, primarily using “traditional” library cataloging standards, such as Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC), Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2), Resource Description & Access (RDA), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and/or Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), to complete the following questionnaire: https://dom.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eDOC8emgtnzFOlM We would like to learn more about how catalogers perceive cataloging ethics, the most important ethical issues they face in their work, and how they address these issues. Since we already collected similar information using survey research in 2019, our goal is to compare previous responses to current responses. Please pass the questionnaire link along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it. The questionnaire should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and no identifying information will be collected. The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Thursday, February 22. Thank you in advance for your help!

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Metadata new and changed terms update - Kohitātea/Hānuere/January 2024
by Catherine Amey 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Tēnā tātou The latest collection of new and changed Ngā Upoko Tukutuku headings are now available for use on the National Library website.<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> Below is a selection of the changes - please explore the website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> for the full list. These were created during hui in 2023, and we are happy to finally share these after some delays due to technical issues. As usual, we’d love to have more requests to work on - tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te pae tukutuku!

If you can’t find an existing term, 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 very welcome. Please get those requests flying in and we'll add them to our worklist.

These include Haurehu kati mahana < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/haurehu-kati-mahana> (Greenhouse gases), Hokohoko tukunga < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/hokohoko-tukunga> (Emissions trading schemes), and Whakaiti tukunga haurehu < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakaiti-tukunga-haure…>, which describes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Sadly, we created a term for extinction and extinct species, Korehāhā https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/korehāhā<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/koreh%C4%81h%C4%81>. which sits along Momo whatungarongaro < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/momo-whatungarongaro>, the existing term for endangered and threatened species, On a happier note, the terms relating to species of robin and their geographical distribution were reviewed, leading to adding Kakaruwai < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/kakaruwai> to describe South Island robins. We added a new term, Pūnaha whakarōpū https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/pūnaha-whakarōpū<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/p%C5%ABnaha-whakar%C5%…>, to describe such taxonomic relationships. We also created a new term for Tikumu < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tikumu> (Mountain daisies), an alpine plant with white daisies blooming above rosettes of leaves or on low-growing shrubs in spring and early summer. The silvery undersides of Tikumu leaves may be used for weaving kākahu (garments) and poi, and Te Papa holds an exquisite Kākahu tikumu < https://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/topic/3756 > in their collections. A request for Ngaru autōhiko < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ngaru-autōhiko<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ngaru-aut%C5%8Dhiko>> (Electromagnetic waves) led to the realisation that there was no descriptor in Ngā Upoko Tukutuku for any kind of wave. We have now added Ngaru < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ngaru to describe ocean waves. Te Whakakaokao has created a new term for Te Kara o Te Whakaminenga o Nga Hapu o Nu Tireni https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/te-kara-o-te-whakamine… <https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/te-kara-o-te-whakamine…> , the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand. Te Kara was first flown at Waitangi in March 1934. A term has also been added for Loyalty oaths, Oati piripono < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/oati-piripono>. While Te Whakakaokao generally prefers to avoid transliterations of English terms ‘Loyalty oaths’ are very much a Pākehā concept, and a loan word is appropriate in this context. Other terms of interest include Whakamahere ā-takiwā https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakamahere-ā-takiwa<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakamahere-%C4%81-tak…> (Town planning), Rakahinonga < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/rakahinonga> (Entrepreneurship), and Tukanga whakatau https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tukanga-whakatau, which describes decision-making processes. Several terms have been added to describe concepts relating to education and the arts. These include Ako tawhiti https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ako-tawhiti (Distance learning), Akoranga mahi ā-rehe < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/akoranga-mahi-%C4%81-r…> (Trades education), and Whakakitenga < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakakitenga>, a general term for exhibitions of all kinds. The language of poking fun, Reo kapekape < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/reo-kapekape> now features in Ngā Upoko Tukutuku, and may be used to describe humorous language used in informal situations. There is also now a term for theatrical masks, Mata kōkako https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/mata-kōkako<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/mata-k%C5%8Dkako>. This name references the black facial mask of the kōkako and is familiar to performing artists. Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

FW: Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: an alternative to LCSH
by Catherine Amey 15 Dec '23

Kia ora koutou Ngā mihi o Hineraumati ki a koutou! (Summer greetings). Forwarding this post on, as it may be of interest to libraries with zine collections, or when describing resources where LCSH terms seem inadequate. Nāku noa nā Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Radical Cataloging <RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> On Behalf Of Violet Fox Sent: Friday, December 15, 2023 6:58 AM To: RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: an alternative to LCSH If you've ever been frustrated by LCSH, consider taking a look at the Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: https://anchorarchive.org/subject-thesaurus/ As of this month, the thesaurus now has a MARC code for use in a 650 _7 subfield 2 (zst); see that announcement at: https://loc.gov/marc/relators/tn231205src.html The Zine Subject Thesaurus is a general vocabulary that's not just for zines—it might come in handy for other radical resources in your collections, or for terms where LCSH seems out-of-date or particularly conservative.

Consultation on dual-language names
by Charlotte Christensen 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

[apologies for cross-posting] Kia ora, ORDAC are seeking feedback on a draft proposal to add options to RDA allowing for the recording of dual-language names, both as corporate bodies and as places, and as the Oceania representative to the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) I'd like your help in making sure we get good community input. Dual-language naming is increasingly common in our region. This occurs where a corporate body or place is known by a name that includes words from more than one language. Uluru/Ayer's Rock and Aoraki/Mt Cook are identifiable places where the names appear in this form in the relevant gazetteer. While using only part of the name would still be recognisable, the official form is to include both at the same time regardless of which language you are speaking when you use them. Please do take the time to read the draft proposal document and consider the following questions: * regardless of whether you would use the added options at your own institution, do they make sense to you or is something unclear/missing? * do you have any examples from other countries/situations where the same problem occurs? If you have any feedback, please send it directly to charlotte(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:charlotte@rdatoolkit.org> so we can refine this proposal before it is presented to the RSC in 2024. The proposal can be found here: http://rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/Consultation%20version%20-%20ORDAC%20RSC… ngā mihi nui, Charlotte Christensen ORDAC RSC representative 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] 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]

Survey on Soft-Deprecated Terms: Please respond by 15 September 2023
by Charlotte Christensen 07 Aug '23

07 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

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Metadata new and changed terms update - Paengawhāwhā/Āperira/April 2023
by Catherine Amey 01 May '23

01 May '23

Tēnā tātou The latest collection of new and changed Ngā Upoko Tukutuku headings are now available for use on the National Library website.<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> Below is a selection of the changes - please explore the website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> for the full list. These were created during hui early in 2023 and later last year, so it’s wonderful to be able to share these. This update is relatively small, but we are planning another release after the next hui in May and July. We’d 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. Please get those suggestions rolling in and we'll add them to our worklist. Details of the Paengawhāwhā/Āperira/April 2023 release This update includes a number of terms which may be useful in the context of environmental change. The rōpū created a term for sea level rise, Piki o ngā tai, which links to the existing terms Huringa āhuarangi (Climate change), Te mahana haere o te ao (Global warming) and the new term Pae moana, which refers to the surface of the sea. Pae moana may also be used for works about sea levels or the sea horizon. Other new terms relating to the Taiao (Environment) include Horanuku (Landscapes) and Paerangi, which describes the horizon in a general sense. Te Whakakaokao has also created new terms relating to social conditions. While most Covid-19-related restrictions have been removed, lockdowns are still in recent memory and protecting whānau remains important. The term Aukati rori may be used for community checkpoints to safeguard iwi and hapū in the context of Covid-19 and other situations where communities are at risk. Utu kaimahi (Wages) is another term of topical interest. On a lighter note, there are now new terms for both contemporary and long-established recreational activities. In the context of waka ama, the term Kaihoe has been created to describe paddlers. Tauwhāinga-toru refers to triathlons, while Mū tōrere is a classic game using counters on an eight-pointed star design. Ngā Upoko Hou – Full list of new terms Aukati rori – Iwi checkpoints Hiakai - Hunger Horanuku - Landscapes Kaihoe - Paddlers Kōrere – Feeding funnels Mū tōrere - Traditional game using counters on an eight-pointed star design Pae moana – Sea levels Paerangi - Horizon Piharau - Lampreys Piki o ngā tai – Sea level rise Tauwhāinga-toru - Triathlons Te Ao Mārama – World of light Toi tangata - Humanities Utu kaimahi – Remuneration, wages Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Latest National Library of New Zealand Policy Statements available in the new RDA Toolkit
by Anoushka McGuire 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Tēnā koutou/Greetings to you all, The National Library of New Zealand has loaded a second test set of Policy Statements to the RDA Toolkit. Following the December 2022 release, these are now visible at: https://access.rdatoolkit.org/. What Policy Statements are included? Following our successful load of Policy Statements for the Manifestation entity for the September 2022 release of the Toolkit, we have now added Policy Statements for Agent, Collective agent, Corporate body, Family, Person, and Timespan entities. Our aim is to have Policy Statements at every element in the RDA Toolkit plus at all options on Entity and Guidance pages. If you don’t see any Policy Statements on a page, it simply means we didn’t include them for this test load. Where are the Policy Statements? You can explore our Policy Statements in the Toolkit via the link in the Policies tab or by selecting ‘NLNZ PS’ from the menu at the top right of any of the element pages. If the NLNZ Policy Statements don’t appear in the list, you may have to update the settings in your Views. What about supporting documentation? Throughout the NLNZ Policy Statements you’ll see references to the NLNZ Guidance. This is a document to support cataloguers to use the NLNZ Policy Statements in conjunction with the RDA Toolkit, similar to the Metadata Guidance Documentation<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.g…> produced by the Library of Congress and Program for Co-operative Cataloguing (LC-PCC). Right now the link is pointing to a temporary document<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.rd…> in the RDA Toolkit. The NLNZ guidance will be made available later, together with other supporting documentation and the NLNZ Application Profile. This is really exciting, where can I find out more information? The recording of the presentation about the work that the NLNZ has been doing to prepare for switching to the new RDA Toolkit which was part of the October 2022 LIANZA CatSIG professional development webinar series is available now on the LIANZA YouTube channel<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtu…>. If you have any specific questions about the NLNZ Policy work, please do get in touch with the NLNZ cataloguing teams at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz>.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Metadata new and changed terms update - Whiringa-ā-rangi/Noema/November 2022
by Catherine Amey 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '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://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> 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. Please get those suggestions rolling in and we'll add them to our worklist. As Te Whakakaokao has created a large number of new terms since the previous release, the notes below only represent a selection of the changes – please explore the website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> for the full list. Details of the Whiringa-ā-rangi/Noema/November 2022 release Death is an integral part of the cycle of human existence, and Te Whakakaokao has created new terms that relate to this domain. Kaikauhoa has been added to convey the concept of pallbearers, while Whakatakataka tūpāpaku may be used to describe funeral directors. The term Whakatahe refers to miscarriages, stillbirths, and abortions. Returning to the world of light, two new top terms have been created to express significant new concepts that did not align with any of the top terms in the previous structure. Whakaruruhau is an all-encompassing term for all aspects of shelter, whether tangible or intangible. It spans topics ranging from Moenga (Beds and bedding) to Wharau (Temporary dwellings and shelters). A related but different top term Hangatanga has been created to describe physical constructions that are connected to the land and are built by humans rather than naturally formed. Narrower concepts of Hangatanga include the new term Arawhiti (Bridges) and existing term Whare (Buildings). Love was another significant concept explored in this release. This is a complex area in Te Ao Māori, with many different terms in use for specific kinds of love or in particular contexts. After much discussion, the term Aroha was added to convey the idea of love expressed as an emotion, encompassing charity, passion, compassion, care, empathy, sympathy and affection as well as romantic love. While this term may seem very broad in application, this is consistent with the scope of Aroha within mātauranga Māori ways of knowing. Te Whakakaokao has also clarified the structure linking the existing terms Pou rāhui, Pou whenua, Poupou, Poutāhuhu, Poutokomanawa, Poutuarongo and Tohu maumahara. The broader term Pou was created to describe the general category of pou as upright posts intended to be anchored in the ground or attached to a structure. It may be applied as a generic term representing all kinds of pou when a more specific term is not available. The new term Petihana Reo Māori was created to describe the 1972 petition to recognise and revitalise te reo Māori. This is very timely in the context of the fiftieth anniversary of the presentation of the Petihana Reo Māori to Parliament. While Te Whakakaokao generally does not create terms for documents such as petitions, appropriate headings in other thesauri are lacking and the new term offers much needed access. We have added a range of topics which may be useful for resources describing traditional or contemporary clothing, sewing, weaving or textile arts. These include: Pākē kārure (a waist or shoulder garment made from long strands of twisted muka), Tui paparangarua (Quilting), Whakatipu (Rain capes), Patui (Bone or wooden needles), Ngira (Contemporary sewing needles), Pūrere tuitui (Sewing machines) and Tohunga raranga (Weavers). On a related note, the term Hīnātore was also created. While Hīnātore literally refers to phosphorescent light, it also describes inspiration or a creative spark in the context of artistic or inventive processes. Finally, as a taster for the many other interesting additions in this release, you will see new terms for Akoranga koiri (Physical education), Kaipuke (Ships), Kurī ārahi (Guide dogs), Matawā (Clocks), Moenga (Beds and bedding) and Papa tākaro (Playing fields).

FW: October e-Forum: Cataloging: Training, Learning, and Doing
by Anoushka McGuire 13 Oct '22

13 Oct '22

Kia ora koutou, Next week’s free CORE e-forum looks like a useful one so I thought it worth highlighting. Ngā mihi, Anoushka 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 From: core-eforum(a)groups.io <core-eforum(a)groups.io> On Behalf Of Nicole Lewis Sent: Thursday, 13 October 2022 4:45 am To: core-eforum(a)groups.io Subject: [core-eforum] October e-Forum: Cataloging: Training, Learning, and Doing Please consider joining us for next week’s e-Forum! Cataloging: Training, Learning, and Doing October 18-19, 2022 Moderated by Liz Simmons, Jennifer Eustis, and Joy DuBose Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It's free and open to everyone! Each day, discussion begins and ends at: Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Whether you perform original cataloging or copy cataloging, you are an integral part to the management of library resources. Cataloging is at once a community-focused task and often very independent. Let’s learn from each other. * What are some authority resources you use most often to ensure you are following standard practices? * How do you go about cataloging a new resource type that you are unfamiliar with? * How have your workflows changed over the last few years? * How was that change met and implemented? * What new skills are you learning? * What advantages and disadvantages have you experienced when learning news skills during and after the pandemic? * What is an interesting or cool material that presents a cataloging challenge? How was that challenge met? * What material would you like to learn about cataloging, given the chance? Moderators Liz Simmons is Systems & Electronic Services Librarian at Genesee Community College in New York. Prior to moving into this position, she served as the cataloging librarian and still manages cataloging, along with two part-time clerks. Jennifer Eustis is one of the Metadata Librarians at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She works primarily with eResources and batch services and enjoys learning new skills. Joy DuBose is an Assistant Professor and the Special Collections/Projects cataloger at Mississippi State University. During her time there she has worked on a variety of materials from VR programming, non-English materials, electronic resources, and architectural samples, such as concrete. What Is an e-Forum? A Core e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-Forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two days. Registration on the list is necessary to participate, but it's free.

Tēnā koutou/Greetings to you all, The National Library of New Zealand has reached a significant milestone in its implementation of the new RDA Toolkit by loading a test set of Policy Statements to the RDA Toolkit. Following the September 2022 release, these are now visible at https://access.rdatoolkit.org/<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.rd…>. Where are the Policy Statements? You can explore our Policy Statements in the Toolkit via the link in the Policies tab or by selecting ‘NLNZ PS’ from the menu at the top right of any of the element pages. If the NLNZ Policy Statements don’t appear in the list, you may have to update the settings in your Views. What Policy Statements are included? As this is a test, we have only loaded a small set of the total Policy Statements that we have completed. We have loaded Policy Statements for the Manifestation entity only, including 350 Manifestation elements. This is a total of 2232 individual Policy Statements. Our aim is to have Policy Statements at every element in the RDA Toolkit plus at all options on Entity and Guidance pages. If you don’t see any Policy Statements on a page, it simply means we didn’t include them for this test load. What about supporting documentation? Throughout the NLNZ Policy Statements you’ll see references to the NLNZ Guidance. This is a document to support cataloguers to use the NLNZ Policy Statements in conjunction with the RDA Toolkit, similar to the Metadata Guidance Documentation<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.g…> produced by the Library of Congress and Program for Co-operative Cataloguing (LC-PCC). Right now the link is pointing to a temporary document<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccess.rd…> in the RDA Toolkit. The NLNZ guidance will be made available later, together with other supporting documentation and the NLNZ Application Profile. This is really exciting, where can I find out more information? There will be a presentation about the work that the NLNZ has been doing to prepare for switching to the new RDA Toolkit at the upcoming LIANZA CatSIG professional development webinar series on Thursday October 27. See the LIANZA events calendar<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flianza.or…> for more details and to register. If you have any specific questions you’d like answered, or something you’d particularly like to see in this presentation please email us before Friday 21 October. You can email the NLNZ cataloguing teams at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> or me directly at anoushka.mcguire(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:anoushka.mcguire@dia.govt.nz> Anoushka 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

New LC Subject Heading ‘White privilege (Social structure)’ approved and ‘Primitive societies’ removed
by Catherine Amey 19 Aug '22

19 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)

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori metadata new and changed terms update - Hune/Pipiri/June 2022
by Catherine Amey 02 Jun '22

02 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).

*Forwarded on behalf of David Church From: David Church <dchurch(a)unitec.ac.nz> Sent: Wednesday, 2 February 2022 11:33 am To: catsig(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz Subject: ITP cataloguers & metadata people Tēnā koutou katoa, Hope everyone has had a great break and is settling in nicely. As we know Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics are being consolidated into Te Pūkenga. In view of that, I have been thinking an informal group of cataloguers & metadata people from our ITP sector might be useful, a place to exchange ideas, issues, and questions. What do people think? If you would like to share names and contact emails for such a group, I will draw up a list for people who are interested. Feel free to pass on to others who aren't on this listserv but might be interested. Or to suggest other appropriate listservs that I've missed. Many thanks.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori metadata new and changed terms update - Hakihea/Tīhema/December 2021
by Catherine Amey 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Tēnā tātou Meri Kirihimete me ngā mihi o te tau hou Pākehā! The latest collection of new and changed Ngā Upoko Tukutuku headings are now available for use on the National Library website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>. Te Whakakaokao has recently shifted to a sequence of one-day Zoom hui rather than two day in person events. This change has been very productive so we'd love to have more requests to work on - tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! 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 February and March 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 hui in Whangārei, Rotorua, Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington and Ōtautahi/Christchurch. The programme will be free of charge in 2022, so this is the perfect time to attend! Please get in touch<https://trw.org.nz/professional-development/new-zealand-libraries-partnersh…> to register your interest. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Details of the Hakihea 2021 release The Covid-19 pandemic has continued to dominate the landscape and Te Whakakaokao has received a number of requests for coronavirus-related subjects. We have added a number of new access points to reflect terms that are in common usage. These include: Kāhui rāhui (Bubbles (Public health)), Kano ārai mate (Vaccines) and Tuku kano ārai mate – the latter describes the actual process of vaccination. The term Taratahi may be used for managed isolation in a public health context while Tū tīrara refers to social distancing. Noho rāhui has been added to convey the concept of lockdowns. On a more positive note, we created the new term Whare hauora for health and wellness centres, including iwi- and marae-based health centres. There is now a term for forest regeneration and restoration as well as several terms relating to communities and community activities. These include terms for diversity, Kanorau, and Wawata, which may be applied to describe individual or community aspirations. The new term Kaupapa Māori may be used for research applying a te ao Māori perspective. We have clarified the relationships relating to marine mammals. The scope of Tohorā has been adjusted so that this now refers to Southern right whales and baleen whales, with a note that outside the context of Ngā Upoko Tukutuku the term Tohorā is often used generically to mean all whales. A new term, Parāoa (Wēra) has been created to specifically apply to Sperm whales. In this context, terms for Whaling, Patu tohorā, Whalers, Kaipatu tohorā, Sealing, Patu kekeno, and Sealers, Kaipatu kekeno were also created. Puaka has been created as the Kāi Tahu reo ā-iwi term for the star Puanga. Iwi and hapū of Whanganui, Taranaki, parts of the Far North and parts of the South Island celebrate the rising of Puanga/Puaka as the start of the new year. A number of useful terms were created in the context of describing historical photograph collections at Auckland Council Libraries. These include Pōtae (Hats), Parau (Ploughs), Tarapu (Carriages), Umu (Ovens), Whata (Food storage) and Kāmera (Cameras). These are great examples of how Ngā Upoko Tukutuku can also be applied to non-book collections. There are also new and revised terms which may be useful in an educational context. The new term Tuhinga auaha mā ngā tamariki can be used to identify poetry for a younger audience. The existing term Pakiwaituhi may now be applied to animated films and media as well as graphic novels. This term references the pathway a waka makes on the sea or on river, literally carving the water to shape the narrative. Full list of new terms Horoi kākahu – Washing clothes, Laundry Kāhui rāhui – Bubbles (Public health) Kai whakawhānau – Midwives Kaipatu kekeno – Sealers Kaipatu tohorā – Whalers Kāmera – Cameras Kano ārai mate – Vaccines Kanorau – Diversity Kaupapa Māori – Research applying a Te Ao Māori perspective Korowai ngore – A cloak decorated with pompoms and black twisted thrums. Noho rāhui – Lockdowns Noho taratahi – Social isolation Parāoa (Wēra) – Sperm whales Parau – Ploughs, Ploughing Patu kekeno – Sealing Patu tohorā – Whaling Pōtae – Hats Pū – Guns Puaka – Kāi Tahu term for Puanga Raiwhara – Rifles Tahu tūpāpaku – Cremation Taiapa – Fences Tarapu – Carriages, Traps Taratahi – Quarantine, Managed Isolation Tī here – Bird spears Tū tīrara – Social distancing Tuhinga auaha mā ngā tamariki – Children’s poetry Tuku kano ārai mate – Vaccination Tūpāpaku – Deceased Umu – Earth ovens Wāhi whenua – Land blocks Wāpu – Wharves Wawata - Aspirations Whakarauora ngahere – Forest regeneration, Forest restoration Whare hauora – Community health centers Whata – Food storage We hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday season, Kia āiao, kia haumaru hoki te noho Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

by Catherine Amey 14 Dec '21

14 Dec '21

Tēnā tātou As you may have noticed, the former Library of Congress subject heading ‘Illegal aliens’ has now been replaced by two new terms ‘Noncitizens<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85003545.html>’ and ‘Illegal immigration’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000739.html>. There have also been changes to several related terms. The term ‘Children of illegal aliens’ has been replaced by ‘Children of noncitizens’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000741.html> and ‘Illegal immigration’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000739.html> while ‘Women illegal aliens’ has been replaced by ‘Women noncitizens’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000740.html> and ‘Illegal immigration’<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2016000739.html>.

The former term ‘Aliens’ has now been replaced by ‘Noncitizens<https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85003545.html>’. At the National Library of New Zealand, we have been changing terms in our bibliographic records to match the new authorised terms. For some background to these changes, please see news releases such as ‘Library of Congress to Replace ‘Aliens,’ ‘Illegal Aliens’ Subject Headings<https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/libraries/articl…>’ and the documentary ‘Change the subject’<https://www.library.dartmouth.edu/digital/digital-collections/change-the-su…>.

Tēnā koutou, You are invited to participate in a survey on what New Zealand libraries do with Library of Congress subject headings they consider outdated, biased, or offensive. The goal of this research is to capture what librarians and libraries do at a local level. The research will be written as an assignment for the course 74342 Research Paper, which I am taking as part of my degree with the Open Polytechnic. Participants will not be identified and no personal data will be collected. It may also be written up for presentation at a conference or in a short article. Participants who are working or have recently (last 5 years) worked in cataloguing in a New Zealand library are invited to participate. To participate, please fill in this form<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.goog…>.

CatSIG convenors report
by Joanne Rowan 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Kia ora all, Thank you to all of those of you who attended the first CatSIG Talks for this year today. Please find below the convenors report. Convenor’s Report for the year 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021 The Committee The committee members for the past year were Tamsyn Bayliss, Anoushka McGuire, Sue McMillan, and Chris Todd. Chris and Anoushka are the CatSIG representatives on the ORDAC committee. Everyone has agreed to remain on the committee for another year. Membership Based on the current membership list received from LIANZA, CatSIG has 146 members (compared to 136 in May 2020). I am pleased to see the number of CatSIG members increasing again after declining over the last couple of years. Activities CatSIG Talks (October/November 2020) – 107 people registered for the Zoom session. It was well-received by the people who attended. Thank you to all the presenters who took the time to share their knowledge Catapult : newsletter of the LIANZA Cataloguing Special Interest Group<http://describenz.squarespace.com/new-page-1/> has continued to be published regularly and made available on the DescribeNZ section of the LIANZA website. Sara Sladwick from the University of Auckland has compiled this year’s issues. We appreciate her contributions to keeping this newsletter going. We welcome any articles or cataloguer profiles as this helps to make Catapult a success. If we continue to have problems receiving content from the cataloguing community, we will need to reassess how many issues we publish a year. The other option is to look into different ways to keep the cataloguing community up to date. DescribeNZ All the content on the DescribeNZ wiki has been moved to a section on the LIANZA website. This has brought us into closer alignment with LIANZA. Budget LIANZA budget requirements have changed, and they require a neutral budget for events or a profit. SIGs can choose to be budgeted or unbudgeted SIG depending on the events they plan for the year. CatSIG has had a neutral budget with no incomings or outgoing in this financial year, and we are operating as an unbudgeted SIG. We need to make sure our costs cover our outgoing when we run events. The zoom sessions we have run over the last couple of years has assisted with this. Closing remarks Activities such as organising training and producing Catapult take a great deal of time and effort, and we would not be able to continue these without the hard work of the committee and the support of CatSIG members. Thank you! We would welcome any new members. Ngā mihi, Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor

Cataloguing maps
by Jessie Moir 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hello all Later this year I will be going through the collection of old maps (mostly local to Hawke's Bay) that we have in our stack with the view of getting them catalogued and therefore accessible for our patrons. I would imagine that some at least would turn out to have full records in Te Puna/OCLC. However, some may require original cataloguing. I don't have any experience of cataloguing maps - only some theoretical knowledge from back when I did my library studies. Does anyone know of short courses or can recommend a book that would give me enough knowledge to do a reasonable effort if some do require original cataloguing?

Resources and Suggestions for Cataloguing and Acquisitions Work
by benjamin mehrtens 24 Aug '21

24 Aug '21

Hello everyone, Please ignore my last post. I don’t know why it was scrubbed and uploaded as an HTML attachement. I would like some suggestions on professional resources, as I would love to work in acquisitions, search librarianship, or especially cataloguing in the near future and was wondering if there are any updated textbooks or resources I should look at, meetings or people I could talk to (I understand RDA and MARC have had some updates recently too)? I have copies of Developing Library and Information Center Collections and Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (2014-2016 editions). I have graduated with the level 5 diploma in library and information studies and an MIS and have recently obtained work in IM/ records management, but I want to keep my interests and options open. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Benjamin.

This talk is an introduction to Ngā Upoko Tukuktu. It is aimed at cataloguers who want to discover how it was created, where to find it, how the thesaurus uses a Māori world view to assign subject headings, and how it benefits users to find items within a framework they relate to.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Metadata new and changed terms Hōngongoi/Hūrae/July 2021
by Catherine Amey 02 Aug '21

02 Aug '21

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Pipiri/Hune/June Te Whakakaokao/Māori Metadata Working Group hui of 2021 are now available for use on the National Library website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>. Tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's 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 where you don't know a Māori term are just fine and proposals for new terms and clarifications of existing terms are very welcome! He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Ao whakarahi – Augmented reality Hoa – Friends, companions Kōkōwai – Red earth pigments Kōnene - Refugees Kōtore huia – Huia bird tail feather Manene - Immigrants Moko tuauri - Dinosaurs Ngū - Squid Ongaonga - Nettles Para kore – Waste minimisation, Zero waste Puia – Volcanoes, geysers Rererangi - Aircraft Rongoā Pākeha – Western medicine, pharmaceuticals Tarakihana - Tractors Tātarāmoa – Bush lawyer Tēina - Younger siblings of the same gender Toi matihiko – Digital art Tuāhine – Sisters of a male Tuākana – Elder siblings of the same gender Wāhi haumaru kararehe – Wildlife refuges, sanctuaries Whakatuwheratanga – Opening ceremonies Wharekōti - Courthouses More information about new and changed terms Te Whakakaokao has created several new terms allowing family relationships to be described more precisely. These include Tēina, younger siblings of the person described, Tuākana, elder siblings of the same gender, and Tuāhine, referring to sisters of a male. It was important to create specific terms to reflect that there is no acceptable generic translation of the English concepts of brother and sister. A term for friends, Hoa, has also been added. Some new terms may be relevant in the context of schools, libraries and museums. The term Moko tuauri may now be used for dinosaurs, while Tarakihana is a term for tractors and Rererangi applies to aircraft of all kinds. The scope of Iwi taketake has been extended to include ancient indigenous civilizations and Pukapuka kāhui korero (Bibliography) now also encompasses book history and the book trade. As technology evolves, new usages emerge. A term has been created for augmented reality, Ao whakarahi. Also in the field of artistic creation, Te Whakakaokao has developed a term for digital art, Toi matihiko. Te Whakaokao carefully considered a request for terms for Western medicine in the context of the changing usage of the term rongoā. We finally decided to create a new term Rongoā Pākehā for Western medicine and pharmaceuticals. This sits alongside the existing term Rongoā, Māori medicine, reflecting the centrality of mātauranga Māori to Ngā Upoko Tukutuku. The scope of the existing term Kararehe (Animals) has been refined to confirm that this term may be used for all kinds of animals, including birds, fish and insects. This adjustment has led to some changes to the scope notes for other terms, such as Mātauranga kararehe (Zoology), Kararehe kaikino (Animal pests) and Koiora orotā (Pest control). These terms may be used in the appropriate contexts for all kinds of animals. We also now have a term for squid, Ngū. Other new terms may be applied to resources about conservation and the environment. These include Para kore, waste minimisation and Wāhi haumaru kararehe, which may be used for wildlife sanctuaries and refuges. New terms for plant species have been created, such as Ongaonga (Nettles), and Tātāramoa (Bush lawyer). Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

'Catalogue That!' Recent ARLIS event recordings now available on YouTube
by Tamsyn Bayliss 19 Jul '21

19 Jul '21

Kia ora, This may be of interest, in particular the second recording ‘Catalogue That!’ - from recent ARLIS UK-Ireland sessions now on YouTube. ---------------------------------------------- Dear ARLIS List Members, Please find the links below to 2 recent recordings from ARLIS South West Group and the ARLIS Cataloguing and Classification Committee. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* Teaching with Special Collections Recording from 25th May 2021 https://youtu.be/fnlAw4YC3Fs<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%…> The recording of this session, which shared academic librarians’ experiences of teaching with special collections during the pandemic, includes the presentations delivered by the following librarians: Doreen Barnaville (Cardiff Met), Helen Rayner (Bath Spa) and from UWE Bristol Morwenna Peters, Jackie King, Brett Moodie, Ludovik Sebire and Sarah Clifford. Please note that the recording covers the series of presentations only, not the discussion. This session was organised by ARLIS South West. ********************************************************************************************************************************************************* Catalogue That! Recording from Friday 16 April 2021 https://youtu.be/eUkQ_aVEAns<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%…> This session was led by Amy Staniforth, and colleagues Simon French and Lloyd Roderick from Aberystwyth University, and organised by the ARLIS Cataloguing and Classification Committee. Please find below further details on the workshop: Following on from Victoria Parkinson’s excellent Introduction to Cataloguing we would like to invite you to a cataloguing from-the-bottom-up session. We are librarians at Aberystwyth and while we are in no way art or cataloguing experts (!) we do love to talk about cataloguing. We will share cataloguing templates and information about the resource we plan to catalogue before the session so that you can work along with us. This is a session for beginners to ‘look over a cataloguer’s shoulder’ so no prior experience is needed. If you are interested in this topic do watch Victoria Parkinson’s Introduction to Cataloguing [https://youtu.be/WQyTO4kOe4M<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%…>] We hope that by the end of this session delegates will: • Have had an opportunity to see how cataloguers work in a Library Management System • Have been introduced to the principle elements of a resource used in its description for discovery in a library catalogue • Have had a chance to think about controlled vocabularies and see Library of Congress authorities used in practice • Have had time to enjoy the practical side of cataloguing! Amy Staniforth job shares as the Resource Discovery Team Leader at Aberystwyth University and is also CILIP Cymru Wales’ Relationship Manager. Simon French is a Subject Librarian at Aberystwyth University. There is not much call for cataloguing in his current role but he has, in the past, done some for “fun”! Lloyd Roderick is a Subject Librarian at Aberystwyth University who has done some cataloguing in previous roles. After assisting in a short term cataloguing project has become interested in how 'dabbling in' cataloguing can inform teaching information retrieval skills to students.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku new and changed terms Haratua/Mei/May 2021
by Catherine Amey 18 May '21

18 May '21

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Huitanguru/Pēpuere/February Te Whakakaokao/Māori Metadata Working Group hui of 2021 are now available for use on the National Library website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>. Tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider.

Suggestions where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. Our next hui will be 3-4 June, so this is the perfect time to send in proposals for new terms! He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Hononga hāngai – Effective engagement Kaimātai pūtaiao - Scientists Kiriata poto – Short films Marae ā-kura – School-based marae Mātau ā-wheako – Lived experiences Mate hūkiki - Epilepsy Ngā hara a Riri – War crimes Pou whenua – Boundary markers Puritanga ākonga – Student retention Tirohanga Māori – Māori perspectives Toi puni – Installation art Whare rūnanga – Meeting houses More information about new and changed terms Much of Te Whakakaokao’s recent work has focused on resolving long-standing requests that required further research. The group has created a number of terms that may be useful in the context of educational resources. Marae ā-kura describes marae that are sited at mainstream schools and provide opportunities for staff, students and whānau to 'live as Māori' within a mainstream schooling context. Puritanga ākonga may be used to describe resources about student retention. Other new terms may be relevant when describing the process or results of research. Tirohanga Māori has been added to convey Māori viewpoints or perspectives while Mātau ā-wheako may be applied to resources exploring lived experiences. A new term has been created for exhibitions of installation art, Toi puni. This fills a long-standing gap in Ngā Upoko Tukutuku as the existing term for art exhibitions, Whakaturanga toi ataata, specifically excludes installations. Also in the field of artistic creation, Te Whakakaokao has created a term for short films, Kiriata poto. The group has received several requests relating to the concept of ‘engagement’. The term ‘Hononga hāngai’ has now been added to Ngā Upoko Tukutuku to convey the concept of effective engagement in the context of an equal partnership between peoples and institutions. Other new terms include Pou whenua (Boundary markers), posts which are placed prominently in the ground to mark possession of an area or jurisdiction over it. The term Whare rūnanga, or meeting houses, may be applied in contexts where a whare rūnanga structure has been specifically identified. Finally, Te Whakakaokao has begun to review terms and definitions relating to disability and special education. We have made some changes to the scope notes for Hauā and Hauātanga so that these are defined more appropriately and are discussing further changes. Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Description: The multi-year RDA 3R Project concluded in December 2020, with the "beta" Toolkit becoming the official version of RDA. One outcome of the 3R Project is that the instructions contain a significant increase in the number of options and other choices that cataloging agencies or catalogers must make, based on their interest in maintaining current cataloging practices, their implementation scenario, their collections, and their users’ needs. RDA has been developed to support the inclusion of regional and/or local guidance for catalogers, ranging from application profiles and policy statements to additional vocabularies and local documentation. RDA Steering Committee Chair Kathy Glennan will discuss the ways that regional and local cataloging agencies can implement their guidance into the Toolkit, providing catalogers with the practical information they need. Learning outcomes: At the end of this webinar, the attendees will be able to: · Understand the difference between "base RDA" and supplemental guidance available in RDA Toolkit. · Identify the different ways to include regional/local guidance in RDA Toolkit and the benefits associated with each choice. · Explain what types of content can be found in the Toolkit's "Community resources" section. Who should attend? Catalogers, cataloging policy creators, and cataloging trainers all need to understand how the new version of RDA can work for them. Presenter: Kathy Glennan (she/her/hers) currently serves as the Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services at the University of Maryland. She has over 35 years of experience cataloging scores and audio recordings. Since 2005, Kathy has focused on the development of RDA: Resource Description and Access, with a special emphasis on music cataloging instructions. Kathy contributed to the implementation of a new governance model for RDA, including the establishment of the North American RDA Committee, for which she served as a founding member in 2018. Kathy commenced her 4-year term as RSC Chair in January 2019. Kathy has given numerous presentations on RDA, FRBR, LRM, and MARC Formats issues, including four ALCTS webinars relating to RDA. Many of her presentations are available via her University web page (https://www.lib.umd.edu/collections/kathy-glennan) ***************** Registration Fees: This webinar is free!

USA/Canada/UK Cataloguing Code of Ethics Published
by Tamsyn Bayliss 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

-----Original Message----- From: This is the list of ARLIS/UK & Ireland: the Art Libraries Society. <ARLIS-LINK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> On Behalf Of Jane Daniels Sent: Friday, 29 January 2021 8:25 am To: ARLIS-LINK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: USA/Canada/UK Cataloguing Code of Ethics Published With Apologies for cross-posting: Even if you are not a cataloguer or metadata manager please do read this concise (3 page) document. It is particularly pertinent to discussions regarding DEI in information work and is designed to align with CILIPs Ethical Framework. "The Cataloging Ethics Steering Committee (CESC) is pleased to announce the Final Version of the Cataloguing Code of Ethics. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IBz7nXQPfr3U1P6Xiar9cLAkzoNX_P9fq7eHvzf… This work began in January 2018 and was significantly informed by the findings of six functional Working Groups in 2019 and two rounds of public consultation and presentations by CESC members at events in the USA, Canada and the UK during 2020. The Steering Committee acknowledges and appreciates the contributions of the Working Groups and the many people who commented on the draft versions. This Final Version will be presented to the professional associations (ALA, CILIP, CFLA-FBCA) that originally supported the formation and work of the CESC for endorsement.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku new and changed terms update - Kohitātea/Hānuere/January 2021
by Catherine Amey 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Mahuru (September) and Whiringa-ā-nuku (October) Te Whakakaokao hui of 2020 are now available for use on the Ngā Upoko Tukutuku<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku> pages of the National Library website. 2020 has been an unusual year and Te Whakakaokao explored new online ways of working in response to the COVID-19 restrictions,. At our ‘Zui’ in September and October we created a number of new terms (including some related to coronavirus) and we also made clarifications and changes to existing terms in response to requests from users. Please see the ‘More information about new and changed terms’ section below for further detail. Tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider at our next hui in mid-February 2021. It's a really easy process: if you're handling a collection item that is either in te reo Māori or has content about Te Ao 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 where there is no Māori term at hand are just fine. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms – Kohitātea/Hānuere/January 2021 Aromatawai - Assessments Atamai hangahanga – Artificial intelligence Hika ahi – Fire making Hine-te-iwaiwa - A spiritual guardian related to women, weaving, childbirth and cycles of the moon KOWHEORI-19 – COVID-19 Mate hōrapa – Infectious diseases Mate Korona - Coronaviruses Mate pukupuku repe tātea – Prostate cancer Mate rewharewha urutā – Influenza epidemics Ngā toka ika – Fishing reefs Puoro pīauau – Metal music Puoro tino pīauau – Heavy metal music Rūri whenua - Surveying Toi rerehiko – Video art More information about new and changed terms Concerns about COVID-19 dominated 2020 and Te Whakakaokao has received requests for terms to apply to resources associated with the global pandemic. New terms include Mate Korona, the general term for coronaviruses, KOWHEORI-19, a specific term for COVID-19 infections and Mate rewharewha urutā, which may be used for all kinds of influenza pandemics. The terms to describe diseases and pandemics have been reviewed, with the creation of a new broader term, Mate hōrapa, for infectious diseases. The scope and meaning of the existing term Mate urutā has also been adjusted to make it clear that this applies to epidemics and pandemics. Te Whakakaokao plans to create terms for concepts such as Contact tracing and Social isolation once it is clear which terms are commonly used. The COVID-19-related pandemic has also highlighted the growing need for terms describing online activities. New terms relating to artificial intelligence (Atamai hangahanga) and video art (Toi rerehiko) have been developed. On a happier note, new terms have been created for Puoro pīauau (Metal music) and Puoro tino pīauau (Heavy metal music). These entries were developed in discussion with the band Alien Weaponry, who look forward to sharing them with the metal community in Aotearoa. According to the band themselves: definitions for the noun pīauau include ‘knife, cutting instrument, iron axe, tomahawk, hatchet.’ This word seems to embody a lot of the aggression and warrior-like elements of metal. Also, in metal circles, a guitar is often referred to as an axe and the sounds can be quite ‘cutting.’ Te Whakakaokao are very grateful to the band for their insightful contribution in this area. A number of existing terms have been clarified. We adjusted the English scope note of Pūmotomoto (Flutes) to explain that this is a type of traditional flute with an angled notch at the top played specifically to unborn children to impart knowledge and wisdom. Other meanings include an opening in the roof of a meeting house, usually near the door, and the fontanelle of the unborn child. The English scope note of Whakaahua (Visual images) has also been adjusted to make it clear that this is an appropriate term to use for photographs. Terms have now been added for fishing reefs, Ngā toka ika, and for fire making, Hika ahi. Hika ahi may be added to describe both the process of fire making and the tools used to make fire. We have received several requests for terms to convey the concept of evaluation. However, most resources in this subject area appear to be research reports describing the results of evaluation research. From a Māori worldview, the term Rangahau seems appropriate and may be sufficient to describe most resources in this domain. Significant change - please check your catalogues Over time we have received several queries relating to the most appropriate term for Rock art. Previously in Ngā Upoko Tukutuku the preferred term was recorded as Taka tapui, but the source of this phrase is unclear and was unfamiliar to the existing Te Whakakaokao members and their contacts. Research established that Te ana whakairo is widely used in this context and would therefore be more appropriate as a term familiar to researchers. We have temporarily retained Taka tapui as a non-preferred term in the thesaurus to facilitate the automatic updating of bibliographic records to the preferred term. This reference will be removed from future thesaurus updates. Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>

The Oceania region will be represented again at the meeting by the ORDAC<http://www.rda-rsc.org/oceania> representative to the RSC, Melissa Parent. The four briefing papers<http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/578> below will be discussed at the public session and I would also like to encourage you to send comments and feedback about these papers directly to ORDAC to incorporate into our regional response.

Please forgive the duplication of this announcement via multiple lists. The following announcement was just posted to the RSC website: The draft agenda<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/RSC-Public%20agenda-236-260%20draft.…> and briefing papers<http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/578> for the October 2020 RDA Steering Committee (RSC) meeting are now available. The final version of the agenda will be published just before the meeting begins, but the agenda is not expected to substantively change. As previously announced, this will be a two-week virtual meeting (12-15 October and 20-23 October), which will use a mix of asynchronous and video meeting styles. It is not possible to have observers at the asynchronous meetings due to software constraints. Outcomes from that portion of the meeting will be publicly reported as soon as practical. However, the public session of the agenda will be discussed in a Zoom video call which will be open to observers. This call is scheduled for Thursday 15 October at 21:00 UTC/GMT (Wednesday 14 October at 5 pm EDT). It will be a two hour call. The RSC offers apologies to those for whom this is an inconvenient time; the group rotates calls throughout time zones to share the burden of middle-of-the-night calls. Outcomes will be publicly reported as soon as practical. The topics for the public session are: * Internationalization of RDA Toolkit during the 3R Project<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/247%20Internationalization%20of%20RD…> * Timespans and units of time<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/248%20Timespans%20and%20units%20of%2…> * RDA vocabulary encoding scheme for Manifestation: type of binding<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/249%20Type%20of%20binding%20VES.pdf> * Proposal to add the elements 'curator agent of work' and its inverse to RDA<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/250%20Curator%20agent%20of%20work%20…> (This will be a discussion of the proposal process; the RSC will consider the content of the proposal at a future meeting) Please contact the RSC Secretary, Linda Barnhart at rscsecretary(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:rscsecretary@rdatoolkit.org> by 5 October to register to attend this video call. The RSC does not publish the recordings of its meetings, which are captured for the purpose of creating accurate minutes.

Reclassifying non-western art at UCL
by Tamsyn Bayliss 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

In case of interest, forwarded from the ARLIS/NA email list From: ARLIS/NA List <ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG> On Behalf Of Sherman Clarke Sent: Wednesday, 23 September 2020 1:31 PM To: ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG Subject: [ARLIS-L] reclassifying non-western art at UCL Videos of papers from the CILIP Metadata & Discovery Group conference held earlier in September are available on YouTube. One of the papers is on "The reclassification of non-Western art at UCL Library" by Thomas Meehan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pukdl7NNJkA&list=PL1jZ6RAW3dE246cEV1d-YTW9Q… CILIP is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, the principal professional library association in the U.K. Meehan discusses the Garside classification that they use for art at the University College of London Library. M is the letter for modern art and there are numbers for a dozen or so countries (MF for France, MG for German-speaking countries) and then MX is for everything else, e.g., Africa, Brazil, Latin America, Nigeria, Norway. He and his cataloging and art specialist colleagues developed numbers for the individual countries and continents and added further breakdown for special artists. They used various capabilities of Alma along with Excel and MarcEdit to create class numbers for the 1800 books in the MX portion of the scheme. I found it interesting even though the Garside scheme is unique to UCL. The issues are not unique however. Meehan admits that subject cataloging issues like "Illegal aliens" present more complications. Once you get to this video, you can go on to other videos from the CILIP MDG conference by following YouTube prompts.

National Library survey of the New Zealand cataloguing community - results available
by Kim Gutchlag 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

[Apologies for cross-posting] Kia ora koutou, In 2019 the National Library conducted a survey of the New Zealand cataloguing community. We would like to thank everyone who responded, and particularly acknowledge the many people who provided useful comments. A report of the results of this survey can be found on the reports and research section of the National Library of New Zealand website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/reports-and-research/survey-of-the-new-ze…>. You will see that there are some follow-up actions for the National Library, which we will work on during the remainder part of 2020 and into 2021. This will include working with CatSIG in undertaking some research into the make-up of the current New Zealand cataloguing community, the kind of tools and workflows used and current challenges. This will help us as we move toward the implementation of the new Toolkit for RDA (Resource Description and Access). If you have any questions or comments about the report please do get in touch by emailing: nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> Ngā mihi, Kim Gutchlag Manager, Collection Development and Description National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa Wellington, New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +644 474 3085 www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/>

We get customers from around the world. So far, in addition to the US, people have taken our classes from Abu Dhabi, Antigua, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belgium, Benin, Bermuda, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, England, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Guyana, Hungary, India, Ireland, Isle of Man, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kuwait, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Macau, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Panama, Pakistan, Philippines, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Trinidad and Tobago, United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, and Wales.

Kia ora koutou, CatSIG unite – we’ve been given a chance to feature NZ cataloguers in the next Cataloging and Classification Quarterly<http://catalogingandclassificationquarterly.com/>. I’ve just had an email from Bobby Bothman, who is a Library Services Professor at Minnesota State University: You write at an opportune time for me, because a colleague and I are working on a theme issue for Cataloging and Classification Quarterly. We are looking for leaders in the cataloguing world living or deceased, who have had a significant impact on cataloguing and classification. We have a good list of names from Europe and North America, but we are missing names from most of the rest of the world. Right now we are just compiling names. Would you happen to know of a few people in New Zealand or elsewhere in Oceania and Australia who might make good candidates? I would appreciate your input and/or the names of anyone who might also be able to provide insights. I’ve only been around in the cataloguing scene for a couple of years, so I was hoping some of our more experienced cataloguers might have some suggestions? Any input would be most welcome!

To celebrate Te Wiki o te reo Māori, I’ve worked with out Mātauranga Māori Advisor Geraldine to write an article showing how you can use Māori Subject Headings across a diverse range of books. We chose ten super varied books from our collections, assigned Ngā Upoko Tukutuku<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>, and then wrote about that process of finding the right headings, and what it means in terms of antiracism and decolonisation. You can use Māori Subject Headings in MARC using 650 | $2 reo - there’s also a big bibliography, so I hope you find it interesting. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions, comments, or synergies! https://www.aucklandmuseum.com/discover/stories/blog/2020/lets-get-reo I hope you are all staying safe and taking good care.

Information on the RSC Meeting in October 2020
by Anoushka McGuire 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Hello, colleagues. Apologies if you receive this via multiple lists. The following announcement was posted today on the RSC website: The in-person meeting of the RDA Steering Committee planned for October 2020 at the National Library of Israel has been shifted to a virtual meeting format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The RSC thanks the National Library for their invitation and looks forward to holding our annual in-person meeting in Jerusalem at some point in the future. The RSC’s October meeting has been transformed into a two-week virtual meeting (12-15 October and 20-23 October), which will use a mix of asynchronous and video meeting styles. Four video calls will be scheduled during these two weeks for interactive discussions. These four video calls will be staggered across time zones so that members from all regions share the joy of a middle-of-the-night call. Observers are welcome to attend the public portions of the video calls. The agenda items for these calls, as well as the specific dates and times, will be published on the RSC website in mid-September. Observers will be asked to register with the RSC Secretary, and space will be limited. As usual, the RSC does not plan to publish the recordings of its in-person meetings, which are captured for the purpose of creating accurate minutes. Agendas<http://rda-jsc.org/RSCmeetingagendas> for the asynchronous meetings likewise will be published on the RSC website in mid-September. It is not possible to have observers at an asynchronous meeting due to software constraints. Information about the discussion and decisions arising from this meeting will be available in due course from the Outcomes document and the Minutes<http://rda-rsc.org/RSCminutes>.

An update from Library Juice Academy
by Tamsyn Bayliss 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

From: ARLIS/NA List <ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG> On Behalf Of Rory Litwin Sent: Wednesday, 1 April 2020 2:44 AM To: ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG Subject: [ARLIS-L] An update from Library Juice Academy Hello from Sacramento. We are working from home, but we do that normally anyway. We're compartmentalizing and finding distraction in our work in this very disturbing time. I want to give you a few updates from Library Juice Academy. The first thing to mention is that we're not terribly impacted by what is happening in a business sense. Classes are running normally, and we're available to help with issues that people may have. We have 20 classes listed for April, all of them going ahead as planned. The MarcEdit class is full (two sections), but it is being taught again in August. A number of other classes are almost full, so you might want to jump on it if you're hoping to take one of our April classes. April classes start next Monday. https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/courses.php One April class in particular that I want to promote is the first class in our new series for support staff. We have a slate of ten classes for the ALA-APA Library Support Staff Certification program. The first one we're offering is one of the required courses, the Foundations course. It starts next Monday. https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/242-LSSC-Foundations.php We are launching a new website later today. It has a number of improvements over the old site, but it may be wonky in ways that we aren't aware of yet, so if you have feedback for us, please send it. We've been having issues with a security certificate recently, so it's possible that you may be blocked from accessing the site. Please let me know if you encounter that. It may help us solve the issue. The site will be down for an hour or two sometime today. https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/ The discount code that we had running in March will continue through April. Use the discount code CRISIS10 for a 10% discount at checkout if you're paying online, and mention it if you contact me to arrange a different method of payment. By the way, the same discount code can give you 10% off our books at our bookseller partner, Parlew Distribution. (We're a book publisher too, if you didn't know that. You can find our books at https://litwinbooks.com/ , with links to the bookstore from each book description.) Regarding payments, we recognize that a lot of institutions have had their payment procedures interrupted. We can be flexible and find solutions to accommodate whatever situation you might be in. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Feel free to contact me if you have anything to say about what we're doing or any thoughts on what else we can do to help, or just want to connect. Take care and be well, Rory Litwin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to arlis-l(a)lsv.arlisna.org<mailto:arlis-l@lsv.arlisna.org> For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to listserv(a)lsv.arlisna.org<mailto:listserv@lsv.arlisna.org> ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: jdyki(a)cranbrook.edu<mailto:jdyki@cranbrook.edu> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Auckland Council] This email is confidential.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Subject Headings Huitanguru/Pēpuere/February 2020 release
by Catherine Amey 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Hakihea/Tīhema/December Te Whakakaokao/Māori Subject Headings Working Group hui of 2019 are now available for use on the National Library website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>. As you may have noticed, the look of the site has changed slightly, and there is now a persistent search box that appears on every page within Ngā Upoko Tukutuku. There are also now three extra files on the Ngā Upoko Tukutuku metadata download page,<https://natlib.govt.nz/about-us/open-data/nga-upoko-tukutuku-metadata> so that you can choose to download either the entire thesaurus in your preferred MARC format, or just the new and changed terms. These changes have been implemented in response to user feedback, so warm thanks to everyone who has asked for these changes. Tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's 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 where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Atewharowharo – Lungs Hinewai - An atua who is the personification of light misty rain Hipihope – Hip hop Hū - Shoes Kamupūtu – Gumboots Puoro arotini – Popular music Puoro kōrangaranga – Blues Puoro rekereke – Reggae Rāpaki - Wrap-around garments, worn from the waist to the knee Te Ihorangi - An atua associated with rain Waewae – Legs, feet Recent Changes Many of the changes have focused on the area of music. Macrons have been removed from all occurrences of the term Puoro (Music), to restore consistency with recommended orthographical practices. Please note that we have temporarily created ‘see references’ from the equivalent terms with macrons included, in order to minimise bibliographic file maintenance in library catalogues. These references will be removed with the next update, unless they reflect actual usage. New terms that may be useful to describe musical resources include Hipehope (Hiphop), Puoro rekereke (Reggae), Puoro kōrangaranga (Blues) and Puoro arotini (Popular music). The scope note of Waiata tira has adjusted to make it clear that this term may be used to describe both choral group performances in the context of events such as Te Matatini, and notated music for choral group performances. The scope of Oriori has also been significantly clarified to explain that this term should be used for waiata that retell the stories of ancestral journeys, places, whakapapa, pepeha, or significant historical events. It should only be used for lullabies if the content of the waiata fits within this scope. The scope notes for Hopu reo (Sound recordings) and Taonga puoro (Māori musical instruments) have also been adjusted. The term Puoro reo (Instrumental music) has been corrected to Reo puoro, and the hierarchy and scope note adjusted. New concepts in the domain of describing the body and clothing have been created. These include Atewharowharo (Lungs), Waewae (Feet, Legs), Hū (Shoes) and Kamupūtu (Gumboots). The terms relating to Raranga (Weaving), and Kāhahu (Clothing) are in process of being revised to maintain the integrity of the hierarchical relationships within the context of Te Ao Māori.

-----Original Message----- From: This is the list of ARLIS/UK & Ireland: the Art Libraries Society. <ARLIS-LINK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> On Behalf Of Jane Daniels Sent: Sunday, 26 January 2020 6:20 AM To: ARLIS-LINK(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK Subject: Catalogue & Index - Call for papers - March 2020 (issue 198) As you may be aware the Cataloguing and Indexing Group is changing its name to the Metadata and Discovery Group. We would like to celebrate this transformation with a special issue of C&I looking at the wider roles and responsibilities of the metadata world. Does your role involve creating, managing, migrating or editing metadata in a variety of formats? Do you work with and apply different standards to data in order to enable the discovery of resources? Does your job fall outside of the traditional ‘cataloguer’ role? Do you work with metadata in a non-traditional way? We would like to hear from you if any of the above applies to you! We are also interested in hearing from cataloguing and metadata specialists about what they think the future of their role / of working with metadata might entail. What is your vision for the future? The deadline for this issue is 29th February. Please contact the editors (Karen Pierce: PierceKF(a)Cardiff.ac.uk and Philip Keates: P.Keates(a)kingston.ac.uk) with proposed papers, any queries, or if you want to offer a paper that does not fit into the theme mentioned. We are always happy to consider papers on topics unrelated to an issue’s theme, especially if it is the result of some research you have conducted, or a project you have been involved in. We welcome contributions from outside of the UK. Papers can be up to 2,000 words, and we are happy to include a selection of images. Please check our guidance for contributors: https://www.cilip.org.uk/members/group_content_view.asp?group=201298&id=764… Visit the official page of ARLIS UK & Ireland http://www.arlis.net/Home.

FW: [PCCLIST] New policy regarding limited use of ISBD punctuation in bibliographic records
by Catherine Amey 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Kia ora Forwarding this message on from the PCC List, nā Catherine Catherine Amey Authority Record Coordinator Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand PO Box 1467, Wellington 6140, Aotearoa New Zealand Direct Dial: +64 4704485 | Extn: 3485 | www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> (pronouns: she/her/hers) The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Te Tari Taiwhenua Department of Internal Affairs [cid:image008.jpg@01D357A2.44114FA0] From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging <PCCLIST(a)LISTSERV.LOC.GOV> On Behalf Of Jennifer W. Baxmeyer Sent: Saturday, 5 October 2019 7:20 AM To: PCCLIST(a)LISTSERV.LOC.GOV Subject: Re: [PCCLIST] New policy regarding limited use of ISBD punctuation in bibliographic records Hi everyone, In April, Xiaoli Li sent out an email outlining a phased approach for implementing the policy regarding limited use of punctuation in PCC bibliographic records (see below). While the work for preparing for the implementation of Phase 2 is still ongoing, the PCC Policy Committee (PoCo) has completed its review of the pros and cons of omitting final punctuation in access point fields. Given that final punctuation is not part of authorized access points in authority records, PoCo has decided that omission of final punctuation in authorized access points in bibliographic records should be allowed as well. It was also decided that it would be better to implement this change along with Phase 2 to avoid the need for both participants and tool developers to deal with this matter twice. Beginning January 2, 2020, PCC libraries will have three options regarding the use of punctuation when newly authenticating bibliographic records: 1. Fully punctuate any field when descriptive cataloging form is recorded as "ISBD punctuation included" (leader/18=i) 2. Omit final punctuation when descriptive cataloging form is recorded as “ISBD punctuation included” (Leader/18=i) 3. Omit final punctuation and punctuation between subfields* when descriptive cataloging form is recorded as "ISBD punctuation omitted" (Leader/18=c) * Exception: For MARC fields in ranges 1xx, 240, 6xx, 7xx, and 8xx, only punctuation that separates access points from relationship designators can be omitted. The punctuation within access points should not be omitted. Special note: when updating an existing PCC record, catalogers should follow the punctuation pattern already established in that record. Options b or c are optional, not mandatory. However, I would like to reiterate the benefits of implementing options b or c: creating records with limited punctuation is expected to save time for catalogers, simplify training of new catalogers, make it easier to map data to and from other formats, and allow for an easier transition to linked data or vice versa (e.g., mapping BIBFRAME to MARC). The draft version of these guidelines (that may be subject to change) are now available on the PCC website: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/PCC-Guidelines-Minimally-Punctuated-MA…. The final version will be posted on December 15, 2019, in preparation for the implementation date of January 2, 2020. In the next few months, we will: 1. Post guidelines and training materials and specifications for automatically removing or adding punctuation as they become available; 2. Request that LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office and bibliographic utilities revise MARC 21 documentation to include examples with limited punctuation; 3. Work with bibliographic utilities and other interested parties to develop tools to automate the process of removal or reinsertion of punctuation. (OCLC macros for adding or deleting punctuation in Connexion will be ready before January 2, 2020.); 4. Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore functionality to index and display records with limited punctuation as defined by the PCC; 5. Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore functionality to allow their users to easily add or remove punctuation as needed. As stated above, this policy intends to cover the use of punctuation when newly authenticating bibliographic records. It may be extended in the future to facilitate the work of catalogers or batch processes dealing with legacy PCC records. Please let me know if you have any questions (bax(a)princeton.edu<mailto:bax@princeton.edu>). Sincerely, Jennifer Baxmeyer PCC Chair -- Interim Assistant University Librarian for Metadata Services Princeton University Library 693 Alexander Road Princeton NJ 08540 609.258.3631 bax(a)princeton.edu<mailto:bax@princeton.edu> http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8074-5322 @JenBaxmeyer (pronouns: she/her/hers) From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging [mailto:PCCLIST@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV] On Behalf Of Xiaoli Li Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2019 12:00 PM To: PCCLIST(a)LISTSERV.LOC.GOV<mailto:PCCLIST@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV> Subject: [PCCLIST] New policy regarding limited use of ISBD punctuation in bibliographic records PCC colleagues, Last December, I announced the new policy regarding limited use of ISBD punctuation in bibliographic records. Since then, we have been working on the implementation plan. The complexity of implementing all three options outlined in that email (dated 12/12/2018 and included below) at the same time presents more challenges than we anticipated. In addition, there are issues pertinent to access point fields that require more discussion. We believe we should move forward but need to do so in a way that is manageable and will allow us to achieve some consistency. After considering all the possibilities, we have revised the policy which to address punctuation in descriptive fields only. The revised policy will be implemented in phases: Phase 1: Beginning April 8, 2019, PCC libraries will have two options regarding inclusion of terminal periods when newly authenticating bibliographic records: a. Continue current practice (fully punctuated); code Leader/18=i b. Omit terminal period in any descriptive field*; code Leader/18=i *Exception: terminal periods integral to the data (e.g., recorded as part of abbreviations, initials, etc.) should not be omitted. Special Note: when updating an existing PCC record, catalogers should follow the punctuation pattern already established in that record. The guidelines for Phase 1 and a spreadsheet containing all MARC fields that are affected by the new policy are attached to this email. Both documents have also been posted on the PCC website: * Guidelines: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/guidelines-terminal-periods.pdf * Spreadsheet: http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/final_punctuation_all_MARC_field.xlsx Phase 2: [Implementation date to be determined.] PCC libraries may begin to omit ISBD punctuation between subfields and terminal period of any descriptive field as long as Leader/18 is coded as “c”. The implementation date for Phase 2 will depend on the following: a. Completion of style guidelines containing instructions and examples b. Completion of specifications for and availability of tools for automatically removing or adding punctuation (e.g., macros for OCLC Connexion Client, etc.) Following these two phases, the Policy Committee will review the pros and cons of omitting final punctuation in access point fields. The work on the limited use of the ISBD punctuation in PCC records began in March 2011. It took many groups’ work to get us to where we are now. I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to anyone who has helped to make this happen. Please let me know if you have any questions.

This decision comes after reviewing feedback from test participants who evaluated three test sets of records provided by Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, and OCLC. For more information about the test, please read the message below or click here<http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/test-records-punctuation.html>. Beginning in spring 2019, PCC libraries will have three options to handle ISBD punctuation when authenticating new records: 1. Continue current practice 2. Omit terminal period in any field*; code Leader/18 (Descriptive cataloging form) “i” 3. Omit ISBD punctuation between subfields of descriptive fields and omit terminal period in any field*; code Leader/18 (Descriptive cataloging form) “c” * Exception: Terminal periods integral to the data (e.g., recorded as part of abbreviations, initials, etc.) should not be omitted. Options 2 and 3 are optional, not mandatory. However, creating records with limited punctuation is expected to save time for catalogers, simplify training of new catalogers, make it easier to map data to and from other formats, and allow for an easier transition to linked data or vice versa (e.g., mapping BIBFRAME to MARC). To facilitate the implementation, PCC will: 1. Develop and maintain style guidelines for records with limited punctuation; 2. Provide adequate training resources for catalogers and revise PCC documentation to update policies and include examples with limited punctuation; 3. Request that LC Network Development and MARC Standards Office and bibliographic utilities revise MARC 21 documentation to include examples with limited punctuation; 4. Work with bibliographic utilities and other interested parties to develop tools and specifications to automate the process of removal or reinsertion of punctuation; 5. Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore functionality to index and display records with limited punctuation as defined by the PCC; 6. Encourage vendors, bibliographic utilities, etc., to explore functionality to allow their users to easily add or remove punctuation as needed. The Policy Committee is in the process of developing a detailed implementation plan which will include the aforementioned style guidelines. I will share more information with you as it becomes available. In the meantime, if you have questions, suggestions, or comments, please feel free to contact me.

The timeline called for a period of testing and outreach, but there were some delays in getting that started. Now we are ready! Please see the attached announcement for details. The announcement is also available on the PCC website<http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/documents/test-records-punctuation.html>. I would like to emphasize that the purpose of this test is to gather feedback about how bibliographic records with limited ISBD punctuation function in library systems and other applications, and to enable the PCC to make decisions about the feasibility of a policy change. This announcement will be shared widely so that libraries, vendors, and others who make use of MARC data are aware of the test. The test will run through July 1, 2018. The announcement includes links to a website with sets of test records and to a survey for providing feedback.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Subject Headings Hereturikōkā/Ākuhata/August release
by Catherine Amey 19 Aug '19

19 Aug '19

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Pipiri/Hune/June Te Whakakaokao/Māori Subject Headings Working Group hui of 2019 are now available for use on the National Library website. As usual, files are also available for download to update copies in local systems. Tukua mai he tono kia waihangatia ai he upoko hōu! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's 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 where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Auahatanga – Creativity, innovation Kōkiri - Advocacy Mātātoka - Fossils Mātauranga mātātoka - Palaeontology Punua – Young animals, including birds, fish and marine mammals Reo ōpaki – Informal language Tārai waka – Waka building Tauaro - Opposites Waro (Pūmotu) - Carbon Whakamoemiti – Gratitude, thankfulness, thanksgiving Recent Changes The hierarchy of terms relating to biology and the natural world has been significantly revised and clarified. Pūpū (Molluscs), Tio (Oysters) and Tipa (Scallops) are now Heke (narrower terms) of Ngā uri o Tangaroa (Marine life), and many terms relating to living organisms have been shifted from Pūtaiao (Science) to the more appropriate term of Koiora (Biology). There are a number of new concepts relating to the environment, living organisms and science. These include: Mātauranga mātātoka (Palaeontology), Mātātoka (Fossils), and a term for carbon, Waro (Pūmotu). The last may be especially useful when describing resources that relate to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. A number of terms have been created that may be useful when describing resources for children. These include Tauaro (Opposites), Whakamoemiti (Gratitude), and Punua (Young animals). A new term has been added to describe informal language, Reo ōpaki. Concepts in the domain of economic and political development have been developed further. There is a new term, Kōkiri, which may be used for advocacy, and the term Auahatanga has been created to convey innovation and creativity. A new English see reference guides users from Equality to Mana tangata (Achieved status). The term Ōhanga whanaketanga (Economic development) has been updated to make it clear that it also encompasses the concept of Risk management. Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

The new RDA Oceania list (rdaoceania)
by Anoushka McGuire 17 Aug '19

17 Aug '19

Kia ora koutou, Apologies if you have already heard this news because you were subscribed to the rdaaust list, but for those who haven’t I’d like to let you know about the recent change to the rdaaust list and to invite you to subscribe to the new RDA Oceania list. The rdaaust list has changed its name to “rdaoceania” and is now an email discussion list for RDA as it relates to the Oceania region. A forum for discussing RDA cataloguing issues, the list is an opportunity to build professional networks, and learn about new products and services related to RDA and its implementation. The rdaoceania list will be used by the Oceania RDA Committee (ORDAC) as the main tool for directly updating the region about RDA. It may also be used by national resource description communities such as the LIANZA Cataloguing (CATSIG) Community and the ALIA Community on Resource Description (ACORD) to communicate information about activities in relation to RDA, such as conferences, training courses and other events that are of relevance to the RDA community in those countries. Training providers offering RDA training are also welcome to advertise their courses on the list. To find out more about ORDAC, please visit the ORDAC website<http://rda-rsc.org/oceania> Please be encouraged to promote the rdaoceania list to your colleagues, particularly colleagues in parts of Oceania outside Australia who are interested in RDA. Instructions for subscribing are at the end of this email and will shortly be available on the ORDAC website. rdaoceania list etiquette rdaoceania is an “unmoderated” list, which means that all posts go directly to the subscribers without going through a moderator. This allows for the free and open flow of discussion on topics of relevance. The list is intended to create a community of practice where all subscribers feel safe to exchange information about RDA and its implementation. This also requires that subscribers take responsibility to ensure that all posts to the list are written in the spirit of this openness, and with respect for other subscribers to the list. ORDAC will monitor the list to ensure that this happens, and take action if it feels that this etiquette is breached. When responding to posts, subscribers should consider carefully whether their response should be addressed directly to the sender of the original post rather than to the whole list. Be aware that simply clicking “Reply” will send your response to the list. If you want to reply to the original sender, you need to change the address in the “To” box to the individual address of the sender of the original email. When posting to discussion lists, it is common for senders to “cross-post” to multiple relevant lists in order ensure that the post reaches as many people as may be interested in the content of the post. This means that a subscriber to multiple lists may receive some emails multiple times. For this reason, cross-posting is usually acknowledged by the sender at the beginning of their email. If you have any concerns about emails that are posted to the rdaoceania list, please direct them to the List Manager rather than to the list itself. The List Manager can be reached at nlarda(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:nlarda@nla.gov.au> Subscribing to the rdaoceania list (to send to your colleagues) To subscribe to the list send a message to: sympa(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:sympa@nla.gov.au> In the subject line of your message, type in: subscribe rdaoceania Firstname Name (replace Firstname Name with your own first name and last name). For example: subscribe rdaoceania Mary Smith Leave the message body blank You should then receive a welcome message with details of how to post messages to the list etc. Unsubscribing from the rdaoceania list If you wish to unsubscribe from the rdaoceania list, please send a message to sympa(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:sympa@nla.gov.au>. The subject line of your email should contain the following words: unsubscribe rdaoceania. Leave the message body blank.

by Anoushka McGuire 01 Mar '19

01 Mar '19

Tēnā koutou, Thank you to everyone who responded to our survey asking for feedback on the bibliographic data created by the National Library of New Zealand. We had a good response and survey participants were generous with their thoughtful comments. We will analyse the data in depth and share a summary with the New Zealand cataloguing community at a later date.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Subject Headings Huitanguru/February release
by Catherine Amey 25 Feb '19

25 Feb '19

Tēnā koutou, The new and changed headings from the Hakihea/December Te Whakakaokao/Māori Subject Headings Working Group hui of 2018 are now available for use on the National Library website. As usual, files are also available for download to update copies in local systems. Tukua mai he tono kia waihangatia ai he upoko hōu! We’d love some requests for new terms! The next hui will be held in the middle of this year and as always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's 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 where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Ētita – Editors Hiwa-i-te-rangi – A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Kaikarakia – Ministers (Church) Kōnae ipurangi – Podcasts Kupe – A legendary figure that features prominently in the mythology and oral history of some iwi. Manu māori – Native birds Matariki (Whetū) – A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Momo taketake – Native species Momo whatungarongaro – Endangered species Paerewa -- Standards Pōhutukawa (Whetū) -- A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Popoto – Māui dolphins Pūoro ōkawa – Classical music Rāngai pūoro – Orchestras Rāngai pūoro tuatini – Symphony orchestras Terehu – Bottlenose dolphins Tūpoupou – Hector’s dolphins Tupuānuku – A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Tupuārangi – A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Ururangi -- A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Waipuna-a-rangi – A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Waitā – A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Waitī -- A star associated with the constellation of Matariki. Recent Changes Terms for the individual stars within the constellation of Matariki have been created, reflecting an increasing number of publications exploring the cultural, historical, and astronomical significance of Matariki. The term for the Matariki constellation has been qualified as Matariki (Tātai whetū) to distinguish this from the individual star Matariki (Whetū). What this means is that you may need to review the use of Matariki in your catalogue where it occurs without a qualifier and decide which is appropriate; National Library will be doing the same. The scope note for Puanga has been refined, and the relationship between Whetū (Stars) and Constellations (Tātai whetū) has been revised. There are a number of new terms relating to the environment and threatened species. These include: Manu māori (Native birds), Momo taketake (Native species), Momo whatungarongaro (Endangered species), Popoto (Māui dolphins), Tūpoupou (Hector’s dolphins) and Terehu (Bottlenose dolphins). The scope and definition of Aihe (Dolphins) has been reworked to guide users to apply narrower terms for specific species of dolphin where appropriate. New terms have been created to describe classical music resources, including Pūoro ōkawa (Classical music), Rāngai pūoro (Orchestras), and Rāngai pūoro tuatini (Symphony orchestras). When describing specific kinds of classical music, multiple terms may be applied. For example, to describe symphony orchestral music, one may add both Pūoro ōkawa and Rāngai pūoro tuatini. Other new terms that will be useful when describing the form or genre of different kinds of resources include: Kōnae ipurangi (Podcasts) and Paerewa (Standards). New Tukutuku (Māori see references) have been added to make terms such as Kōrero nehe (History) more discoverable. There are also some new English see references, guiding users from Broadcasting to Pāpāho (Mass media) and from Allegories to Pūrākau (Traditional literature). The scope of Korowai (Cloaks decorated with black twisted thrums) has been clarified.
