by Anoushka McGuire 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Tēnā koutou, The Collection Description team at the National Library of New Zealand is seeking the help of the wider cataloguing community. With the upcoming changes to RDA this is a useful time for us to get feedback on our data from other libraries. We want to understand what the cataloguers throughout New Zealand value and use in the bibliographic records the National Library creates for our national bibliography, Publications New Zealand. If you do use our bibliographic records in your catalogue, we would really appreciate you taking the time to answer our survey. The survey should take between ten and fifteen minutes and responses from more than one cataloguer at your institution are welcomed. Please take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5MG5X9C The survey will close at 5 P.M. Friday 22 February 2018. Ngā mihi nui, Anoushka McGuire on behalf of Collection Description 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

The DescribeNZ moderators group have been working hard on updating the DescribeNZ site last year so it meets the current needs to New Zealand cataloguers. With the introduction of the IFLA Library Reference Model and the start of the 3R project this seemed like a good time to refresh the content on the site. http://describe.org.nz <http://describe.org.nz%20> We have added a search box and streamlined the navigation to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. We would love to hear from you if you think there is some content that would be useful to other cataloguers, especially those new to the profession, that could be added to the site. We are also interested in including more Cataloguing policies from other New Zealand libraries. If you would like to share your cataloguing policy please send a copy through. For feedback and sharing cataloguing policies please email: catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> Regards Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor c/o Metadata Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz>

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 survey: https://dom.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71xtQqZHnwHQkFD 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. Please pass the survey along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it. The survey should take about 10-15 to complete and no identifying information will be collected unless you choose to supply your name and contact information for a follow-up interview (and that information will only be used for the purposes of the study). The deadline for completing the survey is February 10, 2019. Thank you in advance for your help!

Nō reira, me kimi ka tika te RSC i ngā whakaaro o ngā iwi taketake o te ao. The international RDA (Resource Description and Access) cataloguing rules are undergoing some significant changes in order to reflect changing metadata standards and the shift towards linked data. The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is seeking input from indigenous cataloguers around the world to help identify and eliminate areas of Western bias within the language and conceptual structure of the draft rules. We would love to hear from cataloguers who identify as Māori, Pasifika, or other indigenous affiliation, and who would be interested in contributing to this work. Please contact ORDAC representative Chris Todd at Chris.Todd(a)wcc.govt.nz<mailto:Chris.Todd@wcc.govt.nz> for more information. For more information about the new rules, the underlying model (the IFLA LRM) and the RSC, please see: RSC: http://www.rda-rsc.org/ IFLA LRM: https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11412 Kāore e kume roatia te korero, nō reira, noho ora mai Nā mātou noa Nā ngā kaimahi o ORDAC (Oceania RDA Community) http://www.rda-rsc.org/oceania

As usual, files are also available for download to update copies in local systems. We’d love some requests for new terms! The next hui will be held in Hakihea/December 2018 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. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Ariā pūoro – Music theory Hōhipera -- Hospitals Hōtaka (Ako) – Learning programmes Hōtaka (Pāpāho) – Broadcast programmes Hōtaka (Ratonga ki te iwi) – Social service programmes Hunga mātakitaki -- Audience Kaihanga uku – Potters Kaimātakitaki -- Spectators Kaitaki kōrero -- Broadcasters Kaitito -- Composers Kaiuiui -- Interviewers Kaiwhakaputa -- Producers Kaiwhakarongo -- Listeners Kaiwhakautu uiui -- Interviewees Kararehe kaikino – Animal pests Koiora orotā – Pest control Kōpae – Media discs Manu maunga – Mountain birds Manu rohe maunga – Alpine birds Mātātuhi -- Prints Ngā rā o te wiki – Days of the week Pāhotanga hopu i mua – Prerecorded broadcasts Pāhotanga mataora – Live broadcasts Para -- Rubbish Pīwauwau – Alpine rock wren Pūhuruhurutanga -- Puberty Pūkenga oro – Sound engineers Pūoro whakaari – Dramatic musical works Rakuraku -- Guitar Raupapa – Series Rēwana – Rēwana bread made with potato yeast Rīpene whakaata – Video tapes Rīpene whakarongo – Audio tapes Rōpū pūoro – Musical groups Te Ataarangi -- A Māori language learning method developed by Katerina Te Heikōkō Mataira, which incorporates an immersion approach based around the use of rākau (Cuisenaire rods).

The RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign Project, better known as the 3R Project, seeks to improve the usability of the Toolkit and to address a range of cataloging issues, including the implementation of the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM). Since the June rollout of the RDA Toolkit beta site, the publishers of RDA and the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) have been collecting community feedback on the direction of both the standard and the website and are still making key decisions that will lead to the completion of the 3R Project. Join a discussion with representatives from the RSC, the North American RDA Committee and ALA Publishing, as they address the community feedback to the beta site, changes coming in September and beyond, and how the North American community can contribute to the continuing enhancement of RDA. Expected panelists include- Gordon Dunsire, Chair of RSC Kathy Glennan, Chair-elect of RSC James Hennelly, Director of RDA Toolkit Thomas Brenndorfer, NARDAC Representative to the RSC Freely available here https://alapublishing.webex.com/ec3300/eventcenter/recording/recordAction.d… Regards Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor c/o Serials Unit Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz>

Cataloguing fiction intended for children and young adults
by Sandra McKenzie 20 Aug '18

20 Aug '18

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

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

17 Aug '18

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

Re: [CatSIG] RDA Toolkit Beta ...
by Anoushka McGuire 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Kia ora Amanda, First, apologies for the length of time it’s taken to reply. Charlotte and I have both taken some leave over the last week. You’re right - we got a little muddled in what we were trying to say. It would have been more accurate to say something along the lines of the content of the Beta is not yet complete and much of it is the same as the current Toolkit, just organised differently. You are right in that the impact of including new entities and elements required by the LRM does mean a lot of new content, and even when the content hasn’t changed, the changes in navigation can make it feel unfamiliar. We’re not overly concerned about the lack of rule numbers at the National Library of New Zealand as when we train new cataloguers we de-emphasise these anyway. Our training program focuses on building comfort with the entities and the elements first, which is easier to do if we concentrate on teaching the labels rather than the rule numbers. That’s why when we’re training new cataloguers we spend so much time working on worksheets, labelled with the elements we want them to be recording. We spend a number of weeks in this stage, keeping the RDA elements well away from MARC because that’s when things get really confusing. It’s only when someone is confident thinking “OK, now I’m recording the elements needed to describe the manifestation, and now I’m identifying the elements that identify the work, now I’m deciding which other entities are important and how to identify the relationship between those entities and these entities” do we teach how to squash those elements into MARC (and reveal that some can’t be squashed easily!). There is going to be some work here as we all get to grips with the new elements as well as those elements that are the same but have different labels. Being forced to think about where to look for something in the new toolkit takes a lot of work right now, but I’m confident that if we know which entity we’re describing, and think about which elements we need to do that, it will start to become easier very quickly. Then there is the work to build an application profile! I’m personally excited about this because it is essentially what our NLNZ policies are for. That is, our current RDA policies are our official statement on how we apply RDA at the NLNZ. Having to produce a more formal and explicit application profile which spells out exactly which elements we do use and which recording method we prefer for each is going to be a good thing. We’ll be looking at what Library of Congress and the Program for Co-operative Cataloguing do of course, as we have in the past. It is definitely worth signing up to RDA-L to follow the ongoing analysis.

Thanks to the editors and writers for the latest issue of Catapult. I wanted to query one statement in it regarding the RDA Toolkit's beta version on p. 11 of Catapult which says: · "while there is no intentional change in any of the content of RDA instructions ..." My understanding was that there had been quite a bit of change to the content including to bring it in line with LRM. There's a summary of it in the 8 June document here: http://rda-rsc.org/news along with some change to wording (which IMO makes it harder to understand especially for new cataloguers or cataloguing students) and the removal of numbering (ditto for both groups; teaching from this version will be challenging). While I'm aware this is only the beta version and needs a lot more added to it, I am not encouraged so far. I would be interested to hear what others in NZ think about it. For anyone on CatSIG list who is not also on RDA-L, I do recommend subscribing and following the on-going analysis there.

Information about the webinar is below – we hope you can join us! Last week RDA rolled out a beta version of the new, revised RDA Toolkit with a very different ‘look and feel’. Changes to the Toolkit reflect the approach and content of RDA’s new conceptual model, the ‘LRM’ (Library Reference Model). Although it will be more than a year before the old Toolkit is decommissioned, you should begin preparing for this change now. To guide you through the process, Lynn Farkas Information Services is pleased to offer a series of webinars on Getting Ready for RDA ‘2.0’. Our webinars are an excellent way to keep up to date with developments in RDA. They are easy to participate in and an efficient way to be trained without having to leave your work area. Our first webinar, LRM in a Nutshell, will focus on the Library Reference Model (LRM) which forms the basis for RDA’s changes. Course details are below. Course title: LRM (Library Reference Model) in a Nutshell Venue: Interactive online Webinar session accessed from your desktop. Duration: 1.5 hours Presenters: Lynn Farkas, Helen Rowe Date: Thursday 5 July 2018 Time: 11.00am - 12.30pm, Australian Eastern Standard time Cost: $95.00 per person, including GST Participation: If you have never attended a webinar, we’ll send you details of what to expect. There will be time allocated to answer questions. Summary: The webinar will cover: * Background to LRM * Why LRM was developed * What’s the same in the new LRM model * What’s different and what’s changed * What’s new in LRM * Implications for RDA Toolkit use. Some of you may remember our ‘RDA Awareness’ webinar series in 2013/14, which introduced RDA to Australia’s cataloguing staff and library managers. This new series will continue our mission to demystify RDA for Australian cataloguers. Please note that we will also be offering face-to-face training for cataloguers, focusing on the practical details of using the new RDA Toolkit, in late 2018 and throughout 2019 in various locations around Australia. The Presenters Our presenters, Lynn Farkas and Helen Rowe, are experienced cataloguers, qualified trainers and designated RDA trainers. They are the authors of the practical workbook ‘Cataloging the RDA Way’ which is used in librarianship courses throughout Australia, Canada and the United States. Lynn and Helen have delivered webinars and face-to-face RDA training to many hundreds of librarian and technician cataloguers across Australia and New Zealand.

Māori Subject Headings June release
by Charlotte Christensen 27 Jun '18

27 Jun '18

[Apologies for cross-posting] Tēna koutou, The new and changed headings from the first 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. Important notice - your help needed! The next hui will be held in Mahuru/September and as always we're keen 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 the Māori term are just fine. New terms - Pipiri/June 2018 Harore https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/harore Hekaheka https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/hekaheka Kākahi (Kararehe whāngote) https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/k%C4%81kahi-kararehe-wh%C4%81ngote Koraha https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/koraha Pūnaha parakaingaki https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/p%C5%ABnaha-parakaingaki Rāpoka https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/r%C4%81poka Ringa tohu (Whakaari) https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ringa-tohu-whakaari Te Pakanga Tuarua o Te Ao https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/te-pakanga-tuarua-o-te-ao Tohi https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tohi Tohu maumahara https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tohu-maumahara Tumuaki https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tumuaki Whare tapere https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whare-tapere Changed terms - Piripi/June 2018 Most of the changes from this hui are either minor or involve broadening the scope of coverage of existing terms. Anga <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/anga> had a minor change in the English scope note to clarify that this includes all frameworks, and not just basic ones. Kawa <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/kawa> was previously restricted to situations related to marae and has now been broadened to cover any tribal grouping. Whare tūpuna <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whare-t%C5%ABpuna> has been reworded to help the English and Māori texts to better align, and to make it clear that it is the connection to ancestors which is important in applying this term, not the carvings. Pūrongo <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/p%C5%ABrongo> has been broadened to cover articles, and also moved within the hierarchy/whakapapa of the thesaurus to sit directly under Kōrero <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/k%C5%8Drero> so it can be applicable to non-written forms of reports and articles. Finally, Tūkinotanga ā-taiao has been subtly changed to Tūkinotanga ā taiao <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/t%C5%ABkinotanga-%C4%81-taiao> removing the hyphen between the second and third words of the phrase. nāku nā Charlotte Christensen, on behalf of Te Whakakaokao Charlotte Christensen RLIANZA | Senior Collection Description Librarian National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: 07 867 1234 | www.natlib.govt.nz National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs [Logo-test]

Webinar on June 18: Know & Go: IFLA-LRM: a New Conceptual Model
by Catherine Amey 18 May '18

18 May '18

Greetings I thought I would pass on that AMIGOS is hosting a webinar on June 18 about the LRM headlined: Know & Go: IFLA-LRM: a New Conceptual Model Just when you thought things had settled down: RDA is more or less stable; MARC will be around for a while longer ... along comes IFLA-LRM. RDA is based on the conceptual models defined by FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority Data) and FRSAD (Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Data). These three models are combined and refined in the IFLA-LRM (IFLA Library Reference Model), which had been approved by the RDA Steering Committee as the new conceptual model for RDA. IFLA-LRM will have a profound effect on the development of the RDA Toolkit. This session will explain IFLA-LRM and discuss how this will change RDA. See https://www.amigos.org/node/3755 for more details and registration.

FW: [ordac-l] Changes to 3R Rollout and Schedule
by Anoushka McGuire 26 Apr '18

26 Apr '18

Kia ora koutou, You may have seen this already on other cataloguing lists, but I thought it was worth forwarding this latest update. Hei konā mai, 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 Apologies to those receiving this on multiple lists. The initial release of the redesigned RDA Toolkit remains June 13th. Because of the complexity of changes to both the content and structure of the RDA standard, however, expectations for that initial release and the subsequent revision timetable have changed. The June 13th release will be a beta version of the new site in English only. It will include the following: * An initial implementation of LRM * Reorganized RDA instructions * Redesigned Personal and Institutional Profile capabilities * Search and navigation functions * Cross-Reference and Cross-Reference Preview functions * Ready Reference feature for each RDA element * Introduction of responsive design and greatly improved accessibility to the overall site The URL for the RDA Toolkit will not change. A button will be added to the current site to link users to the beta version. There will be periodic updates (likely September and December, and February) to both the RDA standard and the Toolkit site during the months that follow the initial release. These updates will include the following: * Refinements to the wording of the RDA standard * Introduction of a graphical browse tool * Translations of the RDA standard * Introduction of policy statements and integrated display The goal for having the site fully functional with most (if not all) the translations and policy statements is early 2019. Once this goal is met then the 12-month clock on the old Toolkit site will begin. In the weeks following the June release of the initial phase of 3R, we will collect user feedback on both the features and functions of the redesigned site and the revisions to the RDA standard. Toolkit users will be able to share their thoughts with Toolkit developers and the RDA Steering Committee through an online submission form and through a number of forums including live events at ALA Annual, IFLA’s World Library Congress, online, and elsewhere. The RSC will make direct appeals to special interests groups for feedback on specific issues. During the multi-stage rollout of the 3R Project, the content in the current Toolkit will be frozen but available to users without any breaking of links.

Adjunct faculty (marker) sought for cataloguing and classification course
by Amanda Cossham 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

The Open Polytechnic is the main tertiary education provider of undergraduate courses and programmes in information, library and recordkeeping studies in New Zealand. Information and Library Studies courses are taught by distance and online, supported by print and multimedia. We are looking for an experienced cataloguer to mark assignments for 72272 Cataloguing and Classification. This is a part-time role, done remotely and through an online marking system. Adjunct faculty can be based anywhere in New Zealand. The assignments cover: • RDA and MARC (Assignment 1). Students create catalogue records for specified resources (not including classification or subject headings). • issues facing library catalogues (Assignment 2). Discussion paper as for colleagues in a library. The work takes place in the second half of the year since the course is not offered in Trimester 1. It's likely to take 10-20 hours work for each assignment, but the time commitment is flexible, and depends both on the amount of time the marker has available and on the numbers in the course. Assignments are due week of 13 August and week of 24 September. The exam (covering classification and subject headings) is marked by the course leader, as are some of the assignments. This is a level 6 (second year) course that is compulsory in the BA (Information and Library Studies) and also taken as part of the Information and Library Studies Diploma (Level 6). Long term it will be replaced by a similar course in the new BLIS degree that we are developing, and we would hope that the marker could continue involvement with the replacement course. Main requirements * Current practical experience cataloguing with RDA and MARC. * MLIS or equivalent/older qualification or appropriate experience as a cataloguing librarian. * Understanding of the wider information and knowledge organisation landscape and the developments that are affecting library catalogues and cataloguing, such as BIBFRAME, Library Reference Model (LRM), linked data, Ngā Upoko Tukutuku/Māori Subject Headings, changes in information seeking behaviour. Please send your CV and a brief covering letter to me by the 16th February 2018. Thank you Amanda Dr Amanda Cossham Principal Lecturer, Information and Library Studies School of Health & Social Sciences – Te Kura Hauora, Putaiao Papori Open Polytechnic of New Zealand Phone +64 4 9135518 or 0508 650200 ext:5518 | Fax +64 4 9135948 3 Cleary Street, Waterloo | Private Bag 31914, Lower Hutt 5040 http://www.openpolytechnic.ac.nz Please consider the environment before printing this email.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Subject Headings Update - Kohitātea/January 2018
by Catherine Amey 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

Tēnā tātou katoa We are pleased to announce that Ngā Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Māori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in late November 2017. There are 15 new terms that have been added to Ngā Upoko Tukutuku and are now ready for use in library catalogues, and a number of changed terms. We welcome requests for new terms. Please don’t hesitate to send in requests, queries and suggestions to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz%3cmailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>, ideally before the next hui on 22-23 March 2018. Te Whakakaokao would love to hear from you! Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Kāinga – Homes Kaikaranga – The woman who performs a karanga Kaikōrero - Speakers Karauna – Crown (Treaty claims) Kikiri – Human embryo Kohu - Mist Kukune tangata – Human foetus Kuputaka - Glossaries Mana raraunga – Data sovereignty Moroiti – Microorganisms Pūrongo -- Reports Raraunga – Data Te Rohe Pōtae – King Country Tuhinga nā te hunga taiohi – Writings by young adults Tūroro – Patients Recent Changes Some new terms that will be useful when describing different kinds of resources have been created. These include: Kuputaka (Glossaries), Pūrongo (Reports), and Tuhinga nā te hunga taiohi (Young adults’ writings). New terms relating to data (Raraunga) and data sovereignty (Mana raraunga) have also been created. We have significantly revised and updated the scope of the term Takatāpui, which encompasses Rainbow communities, Genderqueer, LGBTQI, and other gender identities as self-identified by these communities. There is now a term for Kāinga, defined as a contemporary term for home or residence. Terms have now been added for the human embryo, Kikiri, and the human foetus, Kukune tangata. We also now have a term for microorganisms, Moroiti. A new reo-ā-iwi term, Mounga has been added, which is the Taranaki term for mountains. We have also updated the Ngaati Maniapoto reo ā iwi terms to incorporate double vowels rather than macrons, as reflects local practice. We now have a term for Speakers, Kaikōrero, and Kaikaranga, the woman who performs a karanga. We have created a term for mist, Kohu, with the appropriate relationships to the atua Hine-pūkohu-rangi, Tangaroa and Papatūānuku. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao Catherine Amey Authority Record Coordinator National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa PO Box 1467, Wellington 6140, New Zealand Direct Dial: +64 4704485 | Extn: 3485 | www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua [cid:image008.jpg@01D357A2.44114FA0]

Alma search ext resources
by Dames, Rebecca 27 Nov '17

27 Nov '17

Kia ora koutou, Anyone else struggling under the weight of end-of-year purchases that need cataloguing? I’ve done more in the past 2 weeks than in the previous 2 months combined! Anyhoo, what I wanted to ask about was the Search External Resources function in Alma. When it asked what we’d like to search (Search Cataloguing Profile) the options include: · Australian National Bibliography · British Library · Library of Congress · OCLC · Oxford University · Te Puna Now in reality for us only OCLC and Te Puna actually work. I’ve discussed this with our Digital Access team who are of the opinion that the other profiles would cost us a lot of money to set up and get access to. Is this right? Does anyone have access to these other profiles? Can you share a bit about what it costs/how you set it up? We’re particularly interested in the British Library and Australian NB in that order, as it would be a huge help with some of our serials cataloguing where we can find a good record on the British Library website but have no way to import it other than very slow copying line by line (that’s manual typing as you will probably be aware that copy/paste doesn’t work so well in the Alma metadata editor). Thanks in advance for your help, if I haven’t explained something clearly then I blame it on being Monday morning and I’ll be happy to clarify :) Nga mihi, Rebecca Dames Library Assistant, Content and Service Delivery Library, Teaching & Learning, Te Wharepūrākau P O Box 85064 Lincoln University Lincoln 7647 Canterbury New Zealand p +64 3 4230353 e Rebecca.Dames(a)lincoln.ac.nz<mailto:Rebecca.Dames@lincoln.ac.nz> | w https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz<https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz/> Lincoln University, Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki New Zealand's Specialist Land-Based University ________________________________ P Please consider the environment before you print this email.

Marc records for conference proceedings
by Dames, Rebecca 28 Oct '17

Kia ora koutou, A colleague has come to me with a cataloguing request that I wanted to get some expert advice on – They have a list of over 400 conference proceedings in a dataset and wondered if she and I could write some code to convert them into Marc records. At this stage I’m not worried about writing the code, more about what the Marc records would look like. And if they would be of use to anyone? Useful for interloans? Should we put them on Te Puna? The Alma Community Zone? Figshare? Some may be creating doubleups for ones that exist – is this an issue? The info in the data includes: (some gaps) · Conference name · Year · Conference number · Place · url of proceedings If anyone has any advice/suggestions/comments on this issue I would really appreciate it. Whether it’s about what the Marc record should look like, where we should put them, advice to not do this as it wouldn’t be useful, any and all opinions welcome. Thanks everyone, have a fabulous weekend. I hope the sun shines for you!

Deadline extend for expression of interest for the RDA original cataloguing webinar series
by Joanne Rowan 02 Oct '17

02 Oct '17

Deadline extend until 6 October, to see if we can get enough interest to run this webinar. CatSIG is looking at the possibility of offering a webinar series from Farkas Training in Australia to provide some RDA training in November. There is the possibility of follow up sessions next year with either face-to-face or additional webinar training on the 'look and feel' of the upgraded RDA toolkit (which will be released in late April). The webinar series is based on the two-day 'Cataloguing the RDA Way' course, and covers the same material in a series of five 2-hour sessions, offered on alternate days between 20 and 29 November. Participants will receive electronic copies of the manual, and a set of exercises they will be asked to do in their own time between sessions. Each session comprises a review of the exercises from the previous webinar, the time and ability to forward questions and obtain answers online, and the new material presented with the aid of powerpoint slides and the Toolkit. Participants will be given access to the Toolkit for the duration of the series. Cataloguing the RDA way The course focuses on practical cataloguing using the RDA Toolkit and instruction sets. All aspects of RDA are covered in the detail need to create complete bibliographic records. The Trainers, Lynn Farkas and Helen Rowe are experienced cataloguers, qualified trainers and designated RDA trainers. In the last three years, Helen and Lynn have delivered webinars and face-to-face RDA training to many hundreds of librarian and technician cataloguers across Australia. They also teach cataloguing online to undergraduate and masters students in the School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University, and have written workbooks on cataloguing and reference services in the 'Learn Library Skills' series published by TotalRecall Press, USA. Gaining more familiarity with the toolkit now, will assist with understanding and using the revised toolkit when it is released next year. We need a minimum of 10 people for the webinars to go ahead. The costs would be NZ$500. Can you please email catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> if you are interested in participating in this webinar series. The closing date for expressions of interest is 6 October.

Forwarded on behalf of Jennifer Campion *Apologies for cross-posting* Tēnā koutou, The LSCC copyright survey remains open until the 28th of August, so there is one more week to get responses in! We have been encouraged by the number of survey respondents who have opted for further contact with us following the conclusion of the survey. It would be fantastic for us to be able to be in touch with you in future, so please do all consider this option when submitting your response. Thanks and kind regards, Jennifer Campion, LSCC Chair ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Joanna Matthew <joanna(a)lianza.org.nz<mailto:joanna@lianza.org.nz>> Date: Tue, Aug 8, 2017 at 10:04 AM Subject: [NZ-Libs] We need your help to map the copyright landscape - LIANZA copyright survey To: "nz-libs(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz<mailto:nz-libs@lists.vuw.ac.nz>" <nz-libs(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz<mailto:nz-libs@lists.vuw.ac.nz>> Tēnā koutou, The LIANZA Standing Committee on Copyright (LSCC) invites you to complete this survey about how New Zealand’s current copyright regime is working for libraries. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LIANZAcopyright At the end of June 2017 the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) announced the Review of the Copyright Act 1994. To inform the Review it is critical that LIANZA is able to provide clear examples and evidence about how copyright is and is not working for New Zealand libraries. The survey should take between 15 to 25 minutes to complete. Your responses will be saved so that you can exit the survey and return to it later. We welcome multiple responses from institutions as staff with different roles will provide a valuable range of perspectives and stories. The survey includes questions about the following: * use of, and thoughts about, the current exceptions in the Act * how copyright concerns have impacted on projects and services * how copyright concerns have impacted digitisation * copyright concerns in making content from your collections available online * Issues with orphan works * copyright and meeting the needs of people with disabilities * issues with works in obsolete formats * use of copyright-protected works * challenges to your institution's use of copyright-protected material * tensions between licensing agreements for digital content and exceptions in the Act * the impact of possible change to New Zealand’s copyright term * what you would look for in copyright reform It is not required that you answer all the questions, so if you can only comment on some or even one of these question areas, please do consider doing the survey. In addition to you completing the survey, the LSCC is very keen to explore in more depth some of the copyright stories we know are out there. At the end of the survey there is an invitation to provide your name and email if you would be willing to be contacted by a member of the Committee to talk about your copyright experiences. The survey will close on Monday 28 August 2017. A reminder to complete it will be sent in the week beginning 21 August. At the LIANZA Conference on 25 September there will be a breakfast workshop (7.30 - 8.30 a.m.) to share the results - please come and join us!

Good morning New Zealand cataloguers, I have been passed this report from the most recent DDC Editorial Policy Committee* meeting, which was held on the 12th-13th June 2017, and asked to share with the New Zealand community.

Question for those using Alma / OCLC DataSync function
by Tamsyn Bayliss 28 Mar '17

28 Mar '17

Forwarded on behalf of David Church Hello everyone, I am wanting to find out what workflow process you use when cataloguing items from scratch. Do you originally catalogue an item: A- First in your institutional catalogue and then have that new record transferred to WorldCat via DataSync (daily batch mode) OR B - First in WorldCat with Record Manager and then transfer (either item by item or a bulk process) to your institutional catalogue? Our current workflow is A but I am interested in your experience with either. We started with DataSync on 13 October 2016 and transfer of records was completely successful until 23 February 2017. Since then we have had a success rate of 70%. Plus 50 records added to our institutional catalogue before the implementation of DataSync are not yet transferred. So how has your own institution's experience been with either workflow - where have you been happy with it and where do you think it could be improved? If you are using Workflow A - would you consider switching? Any replies please send direct to me at: dchurch(a)unitec.ac.nz<mailto:dchurch@unitec.ac.nz> Many thanks, David David Church Resources Specialist (Metadata) and Research Bank Administrator Tari Whakararangi Matatiki Unitec Institute of Technology Library 139 Carrington Rd Mt Albert 1025 Auckland New Zealand New Zealand Private Bag 92025 email: dchurch(a)unitec.ac.nz<mailto:dchurch@unitec.ac.nz> Ko te tangata e rapu ana i te maunga, te tangata e tu ana ki runga.

RDA records for USBs
by Dames, Rebecca 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Kia ora koutou, Aroha mai, my apologies for the tardiness of this email. After asking for assistance with an RDA record for a book on USB a few weeks ago, I was hit with the craziness that is University O Week, add to that the fact that a lecturer ‘commandered’ the item for a couple of weeks and it all combines to mean that I only got a chance to act upon your wonderfully helpful responses yesterday. Attached is a screenshot summary of the main ways to fill in an RDA record, they’re pretty similar but it does show that even the experts disagree sometimes. I particularly found the 347 field examples really helpful. And I’m in favour of 338 Computer chip cartridge over 338 Computer disc as can be seen in the last example. I haven’t included the names of where these examples come from, partly so we can just choose the one that fits each of our institutions best without bias, and also partly (mostly) because I’ve forgotten since I pulled this together weeks ago. Ngā mihi maioha to all who responded to my call for help, ka mau te wehi! Hope to see all Aoraki cataloguers at Lincoln Public Library on Wed 22nd! Kia pai tō koutou rā Becky Dames Library Assistant, Content and Service Delivery Library, Teaching & Learning P O Box 85064 Lincoln University Lincoln 7647 New Zealand p +64 3 4230353 e Rebecca.Dames(a)lincoln.ac.nz<mailto:Rebecca.Dames@lincoln.ac.nz> | w https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz<https://ltl.lincoln.ac.nz/> Lincoln University, Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki New Zealand's Specialist Land-Based University ________________________________ P Please consider the environment before you print this email.

MARC punctuation and Māori Subject Headings in National Library records
by Catherine Amey 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Kia ora koutou At the recent ‘Tukua’ Māori Subject Headings training workshop, it was noted that some agencies have been downloading National Library bibliographic records with Māori Subject Headings that lack the correct MARC punctuation. We understand this has caused filing and display problems in some OPACs. The problem is associated with Alma, National Library’s library management system. We have just received the good news that ExLibris are working to fix this MARC punctuation problem, which should be resolved by December 2017 – still quite a long way away, but at least we are making progress!

Expressions of interest in a 2nd Kiwi Jane-athon in Christchurch
by Joanne Rowan 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

After the feedback from last year's Cataloguer's Day, CatSIG is looking for expressions of interest in the following course so that we can decide what training to provide for the membership this year. Are you interested in taking part in a second Kiwi "Jane-athon" either before or after the LIANZA conference in September in Christchurch? The purpose of the workshop is to catalogue an author's resources with software specifically designed to use RDA: Resource Description and Access (i.e. RIMMF - RDA in Many Metadata Formats). In addition to building practical experience with "native" (not MARC-based) RDA, participants will explore the very real issues inherent in using Resource Description Framework (RDF) statements in aggregated "packages" ready to contribute to the Linked Data world. The first New Zealand workshop used the works of Maurice Gee, but other events have used different authors including Jane Austen, Robert Louis Stevenson and Agatha Christie. For a full list of "X-athons" (including the first Kiwi Jane-athon) see: http://rballs.info/xathons/ You must be prepared to be an active participant. You don't have to be an expert in either RIMMF or RDA, but you should come ready to work with both. Preparing for this event may involve downloading the RIMMF software to a laptop, using the software following a series of tutorials created by the RIMMF designers and bringing the laptop, and some examples to work with, to the event. Please email expressions of interest and enquiries to catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 3rd March 2017 Regards Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor c/o Serials Unit Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz>

13 Feb '17

Hi all, A reminder that expressions of interest in being a representatives on the ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee) close on Friday. If you want to have be involved in the future direction of RDA, please sent us an email expressing your interest. Regards Joanne Rowan Serials Unit Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz -----Original Message----- From: nz-libs-bounces(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz [mailto:nz-libs-bounces@lists.vuw.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Joanne Rowan Sent: Friday, 3 February 2017 7:33 a.m. To: catsig(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz; 'nz-libs(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz' Subject: [NZ-Libs] Expression of interest in representatives to ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee) Hi all, Following on from Anoushka's email a couple of weeks ago about the changes to the CatSIG terms of reference, this is a formal call for expressions of interest in joining ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee). Introduction Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the current standard for creating bibliographic descriptions for our published collections. As a new standard, it is under active development and improvement and recent changes to the Steering Committee responsible for the standard will give New Zealand Cataloguers the opportunity to have direct influence on the direction and development of this standard. The Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA (JSC), is currently transitioning to a new governance model, to be in place by 2019. This began at the November 2015 meeting of the JSC, where the first step taken was to rename the Committee the RDA Steering Committee (RSC): http://www.rda-rsc.org/. The RSC's new governance model is designed to widen international participation in the development of Resource Description and Access (RDA), and now the new structure will include six regional representatives: Africa, Latin American and the Caribbean, North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) have been until now, providing Australian representation to the RSC and now it expected that representation will be supported by the wider Oceania region, including New Zealand and other Pacific countries. ACOC and LIANZA's Cataloguing Special Interest Group (CatSIG) have agreed to convene an Oceania RDA group to support the Oceania representatives to the RSC and to the RDA Board. This Oceania group will be called ORDAC (Oceania RDA Committee). The Committee's support will include reading the proposals for changes to RDA which are put to RSC for discussion at the annual meeting, formulating an ORDAC response to each proposal, and preparing ORDAC proposals ( http://rda-rsc.org/newrscdocs ). Committee The ORDAC committee will be made up of: Catherine Argus - ACOC Chair, NLA representative Edith Fullalove - ALIA representative Ebe Kartus - Australian representative on the RDA Steering Committee (RSC), ALIA representative Melissa Parent - Australian representative on the Dewey Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee (EPC), ALIA representative Jenny Stephens - NLA representative Monika Szunejko - NLA representative Plus up to three representatives from NZ We are looking for up to three people to join this group, with the first meeting for 2017 on Friday 24th February. Expected workload and process: ORDAC has a shared wiki space where the RSC discussion documents are posted in the lead up to the annual meeting of the RSC. All committee representatives are expected to read the proposals and comment using the wiki. If there is a need for more in-depth discussion, then a teleconference is scheduled. The workload increases in the lead up to the annual meeting as the group finalises formal responses to proposals, but the group may also spend time formulating new proposals at any time through the year. Additionally, as ORDAC is a new committee, a new terms of reference will need to written. The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 17th February 2017.

Updated Terms of Reference for CatSIG
by Anoushka McGuire 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Good afternoon New Zealand cataloguers, The CatSIG committee would like to share that our updated Terms of Reference were accepted by LIANZA Council at the December meeting, and are now live on the CatSIG site: http://www.lianza.org.nz/catsig These ToR were discussed and approved at the October 2016 CatSIG AGM. The biggest changes are the addition to our statement of purpose which explicitly states that CatSIG will support the development of international cataloguing standards, and the creation of the new key committee roles, representatives to ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee), of which there will be up to three. The establishment of ORDAC is part of the recent change in the RSC (RDA Steering Committee) governance structure and will provide an opportunity for New Zealand cataloguers to contribute directly to the development of RDA. There will be more information about these new roles shortly. Have a good weekend everyone!

Barcode scanners
by Dames, Rebecca 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Kia ora koutou, Tis the season for giving, and I have been blessed to receive a brand-new barcode scanner at my desk this morning :) It’s fantastic! It got me thinking about all the time and frustration I had suffered with my old, temperamental one(s), that I put up with for far too long. So I’m sharing my joy with my new toy, and I’d like to encourage you to consider the usefulness of your scanner, and whether it’s time to submit an application for a new one, while people are in a giving sort of mood.

New terms relating to veterans (Ika a Whiro) and the related atua, Whiro, have been created. Ika a Whiro may be used to describe veterans of both traditional and contemporary conflicts. We now have a term for cradles and bassinets, Wahakura, and have clarified the scope of Kete kawe pēpi, woven baby carriers. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Suggestions wanted for new headings to include in Nga Upoko Tukutuku
by Anoushka McGuire 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Tena kotou katoa, Te Whakakaokao (the Māori Subject Headings working group) is calling for more suggestions for new headings to include in Nga Upoko Tukutuku. We're having a hui in early December, so now's the perfect time to scour your shelves or talk to your reference staff about those collection items you couldn't find a good term for. You can suggest the Māori term you think is relevant or just give us the English equivalent, but either way we need to know what the resource is (ISBN and/or OCLC number are great identifiers) so we can take a look ourselves. We're also always interested in any questions you have about existing headings, particularly if you think the scope notes need expanding or if you think something else should be included. Suggestions and questions are welcome any time at reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>, but with a hui coming up and a bit of space on the agenda for new suggestions it'd be great to get some requests in by mid-November. naku na Charlotte Christensen, on behalf of Te Whakakaokao

Good afternoon New Zealand cataloguers, I thought this might be of interest. Cheers! 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 The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs From: Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative Forum [mailto:BIBFRAME@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV] On Behalf Of Annie Peterson Sent: Thursday, 1 September 2016 6:18 a.m. To: BIBFRAME(a)LISTSERV.LOC.GOV Subject: [BIBFRAME] BIBframe class in September LYRASIS is offering an online class on BIBFRAME on September 21st 2:00 – 4:00pm EST. Register for this and other classes on metadata, digitization, and preservation at https://www.lyrasis.org/Pages/events.aspx Description: Many institutions have begun to make their bibliographic data and vocabularies available as Linked Open Data, exposing the wealth of resources in libraries to the wider world of the Web. The Bibliographic Framework Initiative (BIBFRAME) is such a development, which is intended to be a replacement for MARC and to serve as a general model for expressing and connecting bibliographic data utilizing Linked Data principles. This workshop gives a brief overview of Linked Data and describes the BIBFRAME Linked Data model and how it compares to other efforts to model bibliographic data, such as FRBR. It also provides an overview of the BIBFRAME vocabulary, which is used to describe bibliographic resources as Linked Data compatible statements. It reviews the development of BIBFRAME to date, looking at tools, such as the MARC to BIBFRAME transformation tool and the BIBFRAME Editor and current experimentation. Learning outcomes: -Understand the BIBFRAME Data Model and how entities used in bibliographic descriptions are related. -Review the BIBFRAME vocabulary, which enables the statements that are made about bibliographic resources. -Explore how MARC data elements are transformed to BIBFRAME classes and properties -Look at tools that are available for experimenting with BIBFRAME. -Review current projects that are experimenting with BIBFRAME. Instructor: Rebecca Guenther has 35 years of experience in national libraries, primarily working on library technology standards related to digital libraries. She has a bachelors’ degree from Beloit College in Wisconsin and a Masters of Science from Simmons College of Library Science. She started her career at the National Library of Medicine as a cataloger and later moved to the Library of Congress. Most of her professional life has been at the Library of Congress developing national and international standards related to metadata, including MARC, MODS, PREMIS, METS, and ISO language codes. She has served on numerous standards and implementation committees, several as chair, is widely published in professional literature, and has given many tutorials, workshops and presentations. She is currently living in New York, working remotely for the Library of Congress on MODS, PREMIS, LC's Linked Data Service, and the Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative. In addition she is an adjunct professor in NYU's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Program and does consulting on metadata issues. Please contact me with any questions about our classes.

Dear colleagues, We're planning the March issue of Catapult and are looking for your contributions!

Also, on a broader tangent - if you've read something interesting, started a new role, attended a workshop or completed a cataloguing project and would like to share, we'd love to include it too. The deadline for contributions will be Friday 4th March.

FW: Good Afternoon
by Jessie Moir 23 May '16

23 May '16

Posted on behalf of Sandra O'Dea Email: s.odea(a)ucol.ac.nz<mailto:s.odea@ucol.ac.nz> Good afternoon all, I thought I would share this with you: UCOL's restructuring proposal: All library staff and student support staff roles at the UCOL Palmerston North campus 'are being' disestablished (proposal/consultation phase has begun). The proposal suggests that all library roles be disestablished (there are 10 librarians currently working here). They propose to name the library the 'Knowledge Hub' and create four new library roles - job title: Student Library Advisors, and one leader role - job title: Senior Advisor Knowledge Hub. It appears that our librarian roles are not viewed by UCOL management as professional/specialised/skilled roles (although one slight concession that suggests the library roles are professional, is the requirement for a degree and library qualification in the new job description): UCOL has released the draft job description for the proposed 'Student Library Advisor' role. Most of the current library roles (duties) (i.e. Cataloguer, Electronic, Interloans, Liaison, Acquisition, Systems, Processing, Collection Management, Overdues & Circulation etc.) are to be condensed into the proposed Student Library Advisor role. The Student Library Advisor is also expected to carry out work at the customer service desk; however this not only includes circulation/library duties but Information Technology assistance (e.g. computer logins and printing requirements - Advanced information technology skills is listed as an essential specific experience) - this is because the current non-library Computer Support Assistant role (1 full-time and 1 part-time role/people) is also being disestablished. The Student Library Advisor is also expected to manage other student resources (this could include handling student nursing uniforms, graduation gowns, equipment bonds, trip/travel payments, gym fee payments etc.) - this is because the Student Resource Centre (currently manned by two non-library roles/people) is also being disestablished. Many of the duties listed in the proposed new role description (Student Library Advisor) appears to be liaison based i.e. teaching - providing seminars, online resources, workshops and one-on-one sessions for staff and students; with some of the technical library roles mentioned briefly in a few bullet points. If you would like to support us there is a petition you might like to sign here<teu.ac.nz/ucol> and/or you may like to email a few words of support? Your support is much appreciated.

Introduction to Cataloging (online class)
by Anoushka McGuire 05 May '16

05 May '16

Good afternoon all, I wondered if this might be of interest? I’ve taken a few Library Juice Academy courses myself and have found them very helpful. In particular I appreciated the access to discussion forums and the tutor while the course has been going on. The also run a very interesting sounding Metadata design course (amongst other things). Cheers! Anoushka Forwarded from Auto-Cat: Date: Tue, 3 May 2016 08:59:55 -0700 From: Rory Litwin <rlitwin(a)GMAIL.COM<mailto:rlitwin@GMAIL.COM>> Subject: Introduction to Cataloging (online class) Introduction to Cataloging Instructor: Melissa Adler Dates: June 6 to July 1, 2016 Credits: 1.5 CEUs Price: $175 http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/005-intro-cataloging.php Are you a librarian who has suddenly been given the responsibility of cataloging for your library, but you know little to nothing about how to do it? Or do you feel that a quick course on cataloging will simply make you a better librarian? Or perhaps it has been a long time since you did cataloging work and you need a refresher. This four-week course will introduce the tools and techniques of the trade, including descriptive cataloging (RDA), subject cataloging (classification and subject headings), and an introduction to Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC). The course promises to provide practical, hands-on training for non-catalogers, including sample workflows, an introduction to copy cataloging, and guides to make the job of cataloging easier. We will rely heavily on freely available resources so that you learn to use tools that you will be able to access after the course. Each week will include an introduction to the week's content, a few readings, and an exercise or quiz. We will also have discussion forums for each week, and participation is considered essential. Expect to spend about 3.5 hours on coursework each week. Melissa Adler is Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky School of Library and Information Science, where she teaches courses in Information Organization and other areas of librarianship. She holds a PhD in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin Madison and has seven years of academic library experience, primarily in the realm of cataloging. Read an interview with Melissa Adler http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/news/?p=121 This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register in this course through the first week of instruction (as long as it is not full). The "Register" button on the website goes to our credit card payment gateway, which may be used with personal or institutional credit cards. (Be sure to use the appropriate billing address). If your institution wants us to send a billing statement or wants to pay using a purchase order, please contact us by email to make arrangements: inquiries(a)libraryjuiceacademy.com<mailto:inquiries@libraryjuiceacademy.com> Library Juice Academy P.O.

FW: BIBFRAME vocabulary 2.0 available

Good morning New Zealand Cataloguers, I thought you might find this interesting. Cheers, 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 The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs From: Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative Forum [mailto:BIBFRAME@LISTSERV.LOC.GOV] On Behalf Of McCallum, Sally Sent: Friday, 22 April 2016 10:04 a.m. To: BIBFRAME(a)LISTSERV.LOC.GOV Subject: [BIBFRAME] BIBFRAME vocabulary 2.0 available We are pleased to finally be able to announce the publication of the BIBFRAME vocabulary 2.0 that has been under development <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/> . This has been a major process as we have tried to take into consideration a number of sources of comment on the 1.0 vocabulary: the many community comments over the last 2 years on the BIBFRAME listserv, advice from invited experts, issues resulting from our own pilot with the 1.0 vocabulary, and comments received on GitHub where conversion programs for MARC to BIBRAME were posted. We appreciate all those who took the time to review and experiment and comment on the 1.0 vocabulary. As part of converting BIBFRAME to vocabulary 2.0 we have made revisions to the web site. Documents that do not pertain to 2.0 were archived or marked as 1.0 on the site and those that are new or continue to pertain were created and posted or revised, respectively. The 2.0 proposals that were published for comment last year have been revised per comments and turned into “specs” for 2.0 <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/index.html>. They are useful to answer questions about the vocabulary that a straight reading will bring up. Also the papers on RDF Conventions <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/bibframe2-rdf-conventions.html> and on Guidelines <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/bibframe2-rdf-conventions.html> for expressing data in RDF are important for understanding the properties and classes incorporated in the vocabulary. The Library is moving forward toward revising tools and conversions for 2.0 with the prospect of experimenting with it in a new pilot late in the year. Comments and corrections are welcome! *********************************** Sally H.

Future of Libraries
by Tamsyn Bayliss 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Forwarded on behalf of Ines Almeida <ines(a)lianza.org.nz> OPEN ACCESS - Dear Friends and Colleagues, The Future of Libraries has resulted in four workstreams - and a sector wide focus on Open Access is one of these. As we've begun to think about how to approach this we've realised that while library and information professionals believe that Open Access is a critical driver of innovation - many outside our sector still need to be convinced. Therefore phase one of this work will be to develop a clear economic argument for Open Access. We're looking for individuals who are interested in helping us build the case for Open Access. Key deliverables: 1) Literature review of work defining the benefits of Open Access 2) Case studies analysing the effects and impacts of the bolder "Open" initiatives - such as the Dutch exiting Elsevier. Have these had the positive effects "Open" champions were hoping for? 3) An analysis of the current situation - what does "Open" really cost? Who is bearing this? What are the barriers? What are the incentives? As you can see we have tentatively defined three overarching deliverables - and at this stage we need people who believe they can contribute strongly to analysing the current environment and building a strong economic argument for Open Access. We are hoping that this initial phase of work will be completed by August 2016. If you're interested in assisting then please apply in writing with a brief summary of your interests, your experience, and outlining why you would like to contribute to Joanna Matthew (joanna(a)lianza.org.nz<mailto:joanna@lianza.org.nz>) by 9am February 26th.

Reminder CatSIG lunchtime session on Bibframe with Kevin Ford live stream
by Joanne Rowan 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

If you can't make the session in Wellington, remember you can view a live stream of the event at your computer from the link below. The link will be put on the CatSIG section of the LIANZA website after the event, so you can view the session at a later date, if you are unable to make today's session. There is no need to register, but we would be interested in your feedback on the live stream if you do attend. http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/lianza-catsig CatSIG in conjunction with the National Library of New Zealand is pleased to offer the following session. Kevin Ford will be in Wellington on Monday 15th February after his presentation at VALA, to present a similar session at the National Library of New Zealand from 12-2pm. For those people who cannot attend the session in person, CatSIG will also be running a live stream of the session. It will be also be available for people to listen to later if they are unable to attend. Kevin Ford is a Senior Consultant at AVPreserve, which is a data management consulting and software development firm that helps cultural heritage organizations, higher-education institutions, and businesses leverage technology, information, and people to advance the ways in which data will work for them. Prior to joining AVP, Kevin was a NoSQL semantics specialist at MarkLogic and, before that, Kevin was at the Library of Congress where he worked in the Network Development and MARC Standards Office. He was key member of the LC group shepherding the Library's Bibliographic Framework Initiative, which will ultimately replace the MARC Communication Formats with a semantic model. Kevin was also the project manager for the Library of Congress's Linked Data service, http://id.loc.gov. Below is an abstract for Kevin's presentation at VALA There's An Ambiguous Road Sign that Reads 'bibframe' and a Fork in the Road. Do You Take It? The Bibframe ontology contains minimally 3 forks, independent projects begun with a copy of an existing project and no assumption that changes in the new fork can be merged with its root. What produced this fragmentation? Are differences reconcilable? If so, by what means? If not, what are the alternatives? Is Bibframe's stricture to produce a single RDF model causing more problems than it solves? This talk will explore these questions, discussing how this fragmented reality emerged when the primary - if not singular - objective is to create a data model and format the library community could embrace with the same fidelity MARC has enjoyed for nearly 50 years. There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the session. If you are listening to the live stream can you please forward any questions you want to ask beforehand. To register please go here<https://lianza.memnet.com.au/MemberSelfService/EventBooking.aspx?selectedEv…> There is no charge for this session but you need to register.

10 Feb '16

CatSIG in conjunction with the National Library of New Zealand is pleased to offer the following session. Kevin Ford will be in Wellington on Monday 15th February after his presentation at VALA, to present a similar session at the National Library of New Zealand from 12-2pm. For those people who cannot attend the session in person, CatSIG will also be running a live stream of the session. It will be also be available for people to listen to later if they are unable to attend. Kevin Ford is a Senior Consultant at AVPreserve, which is a data management consulting and software development firm that helps cultural heritage organizations, higher-education institutions, and businesses leverage technology, information, and people to advance the ways in which data will work for them. Prior to joining AVP, Kevin was a NoSQL semantics specialist at MarkLogic and, before that, Kevin was at the Library of Congress where he worked in the Network Development and MARC Standards Office. He was key member of the LC group shepherding the Library's Bibliographic Framework Initiative, which will ultimately replace the MARC Communication Formats with a semantic model. Kevin was also the project manager for the Library of Congress's Linked Data service, http://id.loc.gov. Below is an abstract for Kevin's presentation at VALA There's An Ambiguous Road Sign that Reads 'bibframe' and a Fork in the Road. Do You Take It? The Bibframe ontology contains minimally 3 forks, independent projects begun with a copy of an existing project and no assumption that changes in the new fork can be merged with its root. What produced this fragmentation? Are differences reconcilable? If so, by what means? If not, what are the alternatives? Is Bibframe's stricture to produce a single RDF model causing more problems than it solves? This talk will explore these questions, discussing how this fragmented reality emerged when the primary - if not singular - objective is to create a data model and format the library community could embrace with the same fidelity MARC has enjoyed for nearly 50 years. There will be time for questions and answers at the end of the session. If you are listening to the live stream can you please forward any questions you want to ask beforehand. To register please go here<https://lianza.memnet.com.au/MemberSelfService/EventBooking.aspx?selectedEv…> There is no charge for this session but you need to register.

CILIP CIG Conference 2016: Call for papers
by Tamsyn Bayliss 27 Jan '16

27 Jan '16

Forwarded from the Mailing list for rare books and Special Collections librarians <LIS-RAREBOOKS(a)JISCMAIL.AC.UK> *with apologies for cross posting* CIG Call for Papers Proposals for papers are invited for the Cataloguing and Indexing Group (CIG) Biennial Conference 2016 "Innovation and discovery" to be held from 31 Aug - 2 Sept 2016 at Swansea University. Moving from local to global, our audience's thirst for discovery is prompting a whole raft of innovations. In this era of convergence, libraries, archives and museums are all striving to improve resource discovery in order to meet user expectations. International committees are expanding and refining new bibliographic standards; libraries are adopting (and adapting) these standards, e.g. FRBRising their catalogue records; as a result, librarians are acquiring new skills in metadata creation and manipulation; and, in this ever changing environment, vendors of library management and discovery systems are under pressure to evolve their offer. Hidden from public view, library metadata policies, cataloguing workflows and practices, together with the systems we choose, ultimately determine the user experience. The 2016 conference aims to bring together the metadata community in order to debate systems and processes, shine a light on best practice and explore the unknown. Themes: CIG welcomes proposals that cover, but are not confined to, the following topics: - metadata for discoverability - linked data - controlled vocabularies - data manipulation - authority control - discovery systems - impact of changes to scholarly communication And - as always - we'd like presentations about current practice, recent research, as well as ideas for the future. Formats: We are eager to hear from information professionals and those engaged in metadata research and practice. We also encourage submissions from current and recently graduated LIS students who would like to take this opportunity to present their research to the cataloguing community. We welcome proposals in the following formats: - Conference papers (30 mins). An opportunity to present how your work, project or research innovates discovery. - Lightening talk (10 mins). Shorter presentations on the above topics and themes. Please consider this if you have something to share but do not have a full conference paper. - Interactive sessions (up to 30 mins). With the venue offering breakout rooms, we particularly encourage presentations with interactive elements. - Posters. An opportunity to present your work/project/research in visual form. Time will be included during the conference to allow poster presenters to engage directly with delegates and discuss the contents of their poster. Please consider this if you would prefer to present in a less formal way. Submissions: Proposals should be submitted to Robin Armstrong Viner (r.armstrong-viner(a)kent.ac.uk<https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/mail/mailto;jsessionid=BC610CD88D4E1F4CD5881…>). Please include your preferred format, a working title and short outline (no more than 300 words) of your presentation. Proposals are due by 31st March 2016 and presenters will be notified by 30th April 2016 if their submission is successful. Speakers will be able to claim for travel and accommodation (if required) in line with the CILIP expenses policy (seehttp://www.cilip.org.uk/sites/default/files/documents/Expenses_policy.pdf). Any presenters wishing to attend the full conference in addition to the day they are presenting, as well as those intending to travel from outside the UK are advised to contact Robin Armstrong-Viner (r.armstrong-viner(a)kent.ac.uk<https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/mail/mailto;jsessionid=BC610CD88D4E1F4CD5881…>) before booking or making travel arrangements. Presenters will have the option of publishing their paper in a future edition of "Catalogue and Index", the journal of CIG (see http://www.cilip.org.uk/cataloguing-indexing-group/catalogue-index<https://3c.gmx.net/mail/client/dereferrer?redirectUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cili…>).

Christmas in January
by Dames, Rebecca 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Kia ora koutou At Lincoln University, our Library Christmas tree has finally been taken down, but I grabbed a quick snap before the demolition. [cid:image001.png@01D151FA.3B36B550] Made by Sarah Fraser and me. From >500 weeded books, standing ~175m (190 including star). 1 hour building time, 1.5 hours to dismantle (just me). Next year we want to go higher, and we will actually count the books. Anyway because it’s so hard to get back into work in January, I wondered if anyone else wanted to procrastinate and share some pics of how their libraries (or other) celebrated the silly season? Anything and everything you wanted to share would be awesome! Mere (belated) Kirihimete!

'Current State of Linked Data' article
by Tamsyn Bayliss 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Dear colleagues, In case of interest, here's a new article published in ALA Techsource ; Vol. 52, no. 1 (2016) 'Chapter 1. The Current State of Linked Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums' https://journals.ala.org/ltr/article/view/5892/7446 Abstract: Erik T. Mitchell wrote Library Technology Reports (vol. 50, no. 5), "Library Linked Data: Research and Adoption," published in July 2013. This report revisits the adoption of Linked Data by libraries, archives, and museums, identifying current trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field.

Ebe Kartus ACOC rep. The National Library of Scotland (NLS) hosted the annual meeting of the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA (JSC) 2-6 November 2015. RDA is a standard used in the NLS and libraries around the world to improve access to their collections. The JSC has evolved in the joint Anglo-American library community, and its current members hail from Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK, and the United States. The Edinburgh meeting marked the beginning of a four-year transition to a new structure that reflects international and technical interest in the standard, signified by new UK and Europe representation and a change of name to RDA Steering Committee. 53 observers from 18 countries (Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United States, and Wales) attended public sessions of the meeting. The formal meeting was accompanied by a full-day seminar on rare library materials, and the RLS-athon - a hackathon for data about Robert Louis Stevenson and his works which meant that over 100 Library and Information Professionals attended RDA related events in Edinburgh. Gordon Dunsire, Chair of the RSC, said "Our meeting came to Edinburgh, my home town, by tradition but will leave it with a new name and direction to make a way in a wider world. I am proud of the support from my national library and professional colleagues that helped make the Edinburgh meeting enlightening, adventurous, and successful in its outcome." Simon Edwards, Chair of RDA Board, said "It was great to see so many colleagues attend the RSC and related meetings. We would like to ensure that all RSC meetings in future follow a similar pattern; providing opportunities for the wider community to come together and to engage with the development of RDA. With this in mind, I am pleased that the next steering committee meeting will be held in Frankfurt and I look forward to meeting more of our colleagues then."

LCGFT Literature Headings - a useful spreadsheet of the terms
by Anoushka McGuire 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Good afternoon New Zealand cataloguers, This was posted to the AutoCat list last week and as it’s so very useful, I thought I’d repost it in case you missed it. Cheers! Anoushka Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2015 01:32:29 +0000 From: Cathy Lamoureaux <cjbrl2(a)YAHOO.COM<mailto:cjbrl2@YAHOO.COM>> Subject: LCGFT Literature Headings Hi, all, Now that the Library of Congress has completed authorizing all of the headings initially proposed as part of the LCGFT Literature Project, catalogers at my library are beginning to use the new headings wherever possible in place of GSAFD headings and repurposed LCSH literature headings (i.e., headings coded “655 _0”). In order to facilitate the transition to the new LCGFT headings, I have prepared an Excel file for local staff which I think other libraries might find useful as well. The file is available via OneDrive at the following address for anyone who has an interest: http://1drv.ms/1HwvMOh The file consists of the following four sheets, accessible via the tabs shown at bottom of the screen: • Alphabetical by Heading -- Lists all available LCGFT literature headings in alphabetical order by heading. A category (e.g., drama, fiction, poetry, etc.) is included for each heading and clicking on a heading name causes a brief scope note to display (Note: the scope notes, taken from authority record 680 fields and/or locally devised, are only visible after you save the file to your computer). • Alphabetical by Category -- Lists all available LCGFT literature headings in alphabetical order by category (e.g., drama, fiction, poetry, etc.). Clicking on a heading name causes a brief scope note to display (Note: the scope notes, taken from authority record 680 fields and/or locally devised, are only visible after you save the file to your computer). • GSAFD to LCGFT -- Lists all GSAFD headings, including both literature and moving image and radio headings, with their corresponding LCGFT headings. If the GSAFD heading and the LCGFT heading are worded exactly the same, the LCGFT heading has a green background. If the GSAFD heading and the LCGFT heading are worded differently, the LCGFT heading has a yellow background. If the GSAFD heading does not have a corresponding LCGFT heading, the LCGFT column has a red background and, in some cases, locally developed coding instructions are provided. • LCSH to LCGFT -- Lists LCSH headings that have often been repurposed as literature genre/form headings along with their corresponding LCGFT headings. If the LCSH heading and the LCGFT heading are worded exactly the same, the LCGFT heading has a green background. If the LCSH heading and the LCGFT heading are worded differently, the LCGFT heading has a yellow background. If an LCSH heading does not have a corresponding LCGFT heading, the LCGFT column has a red background.

ALCTS webinar: E-Books via the Cataloging in Publication Program Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2015 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time. Description: The Cataloging in Publication (CIP) Program is now accepting e-books from major U.S. publishers to help build the Library of Congress’ collections. This is a major step forward in management of e-book collections at the Library of Congress as the process for ingesting CIP e-books will be used as a model for acquiring e-books from other acquisitions sources. The presentation will discuss all elements of the CIP E-Books Program, including the application process, publisher participation, e-book metadata creation, and ingestion of the e-books into the Library’s Content Transfer System to add to the Library’s collections. Learning outcomes: Attendees will become more knowledgeable about e-book metadata and ingestion workflows in a large library setting and how to identify high-quality pre-publication e-book metadata in bibliographic utilities. Who should attend? Metadata librarians and e-resources librarians of all types of libraries. Presenters: Caroline Saccucci is the Dewey Program Manager in the U.S., Programs, Law and Literature Division. She is also currently the Acting CIP Program Manager and was formerly a CIP program specialist. She is an active member of the American Library Association and serves as Chair of the ALC Public Libraries Technical Services Interest Group and Dewey Section Liaison to the ALCTS Cataloging and Metadata Management Section Subject Analysis Committee. Camilla Williams is a Program Specialist in the Cataloging in Publication Program. Her responsibilities include responding to inquiries from publishers and cataloging staff, recruiting and training new libraries and institutions to the ECIP Cataloging Partnership Program, and participating in new automated and metadata initiatives. She is the primary contact for the CIP E-Books Program, and regularly gives presentations about the Program to the CIP Advisory Group and at the Library of Congress Exhibit at ALA. ***************** Registration Fees: ALCTS Member $43 ; Non-member $59 ; Group rate (members/non-members) $99/$129 ; International $43 For additional information and access to registration links, please go to the following website: http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/upcoming/webinar/102115 ALCTS webinars are recorded and registrants receive a link to the recording shortly following the live event.

ALCTS webinar: The New CIP Data Block: How To Use It For Cataloging
by Joanne Rowan 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

*Apologies in advance for multiple postings.* ALCTS webinar: The New CIP Data Block: How To Use It For Cataloging Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2015 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time. Description: In July 2015 the Library of Congress will implement a new layout to the Cataloging in Publication Data Block which appears on the verso of the title page of print books and on the Copyright page of electronic books. The new layout is the result of an analysis of survey results done in 2014 that asked institutions what should be kept, added, or removed from the CIP Data Block to meet the needs of the twenty-first century bibliographic environment. There are numerous changes to the layout including the use of labels to clearly identify the different components within the block, addition of RDA and electronic data elements, and a URL that links directly to the LC catalog for easy download of bibliographic records.

Information Management and Services qualification review update
by Amanda Cossham 25 Sep '15

25 Sep '15

[apologies for cross-posting] Information Management and Services qualifications (including library, archives, records and heritage information) have been reviewed as part of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) Mandatory Review of Qualifications at levels 1-6 (i.e., up to but not including bachelors' degrees at level 7). The aim of this NZQA review is to reduce duplication of qualifications and ensure the system is easy to understand, and also to ensure the qualifications meet the needs of the relevant sector. Phase 1 of the review was completed in 2014 following extensive stakeholder consultation, and five qualifications were approved by NZQA for development. Phase 2 development has been done by the IMS Governance Group (https://imsqualreview.wordpress.com/governance-group/) and their three working groups, in consultation with industry. The five qualifications are now available in final draft form. Major stakeholders including professional associations, major employers, education providers and interest groups have been asked to provide feedback on these drafts. Following this consultation, the qualifications will be submitted to NZQA before the end of the year, for listing on the NZ Qualifications framework as national qualifications. The qualifications can be seen here: https://imsqualreview.wordpress.com/phase-2-final-qualifications/. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Maurice Dance : a Kiwi Jane-athon : Registrations close Friday 18 September
by Catherine Amey 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Kia ora Many thanks to everyone who has registered for the Maurice Dance workshop on October 16th . We’ve had an encouraging number of responses, and we are looking forward to a productive and enjoyable day exploring RDA using the RIMMF software. There are still a few places available, so, to make sure that you don’t miss out, please send an email, with Maurice Dance as the subject, and the information below to: Katie.Gilbert(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:Katie.Gilbert@dia.govt.nz> by Friday September 18th. Maurice Dance : a Kiwi Jane-athon Inspired by the Jane-athons presented by ALA Publishing and the RDA Development Team earlier this year, the National Library of New Zealand cataloguing teams, in cooperation with CatSIG and The MARC of Quality, invite you to step up and join us in a Maurice Dance. This workshop has two goals: · to explore RDA data without the filter of the MARC format, using RIMMF software (RDA in Many Metadata Formats) · to look at how RDA data can be represented using linked data and what opportunities that might offer for cataloguing in the future We will use resources associated with Maurice Gee as the main theme for our dance, however other New Zealand authors, such as Janet Frame, and Katherine Mansfield could also join the set. During the Maurice Dance you will: · See a brief demonstration of how to use RIMMF to describe a couple of resources RDA used to describe a major New Zealand literary work using RIMMF software · Work in small groups to create RDA data in RIMMF for a variety of Maurice Gee (or another author) related-resources, including related works, such as motion pictures · Discuss issues you have identified from your use of RIMMF and RDA · Explore different ways of representing RDA data as linked data Your participation: We’ll all work together to make this a successful day. We expect to be working in groups of 3 – 5 people depending on levels of experience and specific interests. You should be prepared, as a minimum, to download the RIMMF software, work through the series of tutorials available on the RIMMF website<http://www.marcofquality.com/wiki/rimmf3/doku.php?id=examples>, and bring along some examples to work with. Ideally, you will bring a laptop with the RIMMF software<http://www.marcofquality.com/wiki/rimmf3/doku.php?id=download&nocache> loaded on it to work with on the day, but feeling reasonably comfortable with the software is more important. There will be an opportunity to attend a web-based training session on RIMMF to help prepare for the workshop. More information on a date and time will be available soon. If you are familiar with RDA, and unable to work with RIMMF prior to this workshop, but still interested in attending, please contact us at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> Follow us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/events/1484413028541906/ Support available on the day: · Deborah and Richard Fritz from The MARC of Quality will be participating in the workshop with particular expertise in the use of RIMMF as well as detailed understanding of both the MARC format and the RDA content standard. · Cataloguers who have completed all the TMQ RIMMF tutorials and prepared resources for the workshop will be on hand as facilitators or coaches as needed by the groups When: October 16 2015: – 8.30am for 9.00 – 4.30pm Where: Pipitea and Thorndon rooms, National Library of New Zealand, corner of Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Wellington. Cost: Funded by National Library and CatSIG – Free to participants – morning and afternoon tea will be provided Registration: Please send an email, with Maurice Dance as the subject, and the information below to: Katie.Gilbert(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:Katie.Gilbert@dia.govt.nz> by September 18th 2015. 1.

by Christine Todd 07 Aug '15

07 Aug '15

Maurice Dance : a Kiwi Jane-athon Inspired by the Jane-athons presented by ALA Publishing and the RDA Development Team earlier this year, the National Library of New Zealand cataloguing teams, in cooperation with CatSIG and The MARC of Quality, invite you to step up and join us in a Maurice Dance. This workshop has two goals: · to explore RDA data without the filter of the MARC format, using RIMMF software (RDA in Many Metadata Formats) · to look at how RDA data can be represented using linked data and what opportunities that might offer for cataloguing in the future We will use resources associated with Maurice Gee as the main theme for our dance, however other New Zealand authors, such as Janet Frame, and Katherine Mansfield could also join the set. During the Maurice Dance you will: · See a brief demonstration of how to use RIMMF to describe a couple of resources RDA used to describe a major New Zealand literary work using RIMMF software · Work in small groups to create RDA data in RIMMF for a variety of Maurice Gee (or another author) related-resources, including related works, such as motion pictures · Discuss issues you have identified from your use of RIMMF and RDA · Explore different ways of representing RDA data as linked data Your participation: We’ll all work together to make this a successful day. We expect to be working in groups of 3 – 5 people depending on levels of experience and specific interests. You should be prepared, as a minimum, to download the RIMMF software, work through the series of tutorials available on the RIMMF website<http://www.marcofquality.com/wiki/rimmf3/doku.php?id=examples>, and bring along some examples to work with. Ideally, you will bring a laptop with the RIMMF software<http://www.marcofquality.com/wiki/rimmf3/doku.php?id=download&nocache> loaded on it to work with on the day, but feeling reasonably comfortable with the software is more important. There will be an opportunity to attend a web-based training session on RIMMF to help prepare for the workshop. More information on a date and time will be available soon. If you are familiar with RDA, and unable to work with RIMMF prior to this workshop, but still interested in attending, please contact us at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> Support available on the day: · Deborah and Richard Fritz from The MARC of Quality will be participating in the workshop with particular expertise in the use of RIMMF as well as detailed understanding of both the MARC format and the RDA content standard. · Cataloguers who have completed all the TMQ RIMMF tutorials and prepared resources for the workshop will be on hand as facilitators or coaches as needed by the groups When: October 16 2015: – 8.30am for 9.00 – 4.30pm Where: Pipitea and Thorndon rooms, National Library of New Zealand, corner of Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Wellington.

Dear colleagues, In case of interest- here's another round-up of some articles on cataloguing and library topics. Here's a follow-up post on the Constructive Summer blog about the library catalogue, and 'shared cataloguing' (from 4th August): http://unifiedlibraryscene.blogspot.co.nz/ Another North American blog 'Libhub.org' has various articles on Linked Data, as well as a short video on Calgary Public Library's approach (from 6th August): http://www.libhub.org/blog/ An article on "Awesome metadata" by Andy Fenton, via Linked In (posted 6th August): https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/awesome-metadata-andy-fenton And as our Museum Library Reading Room's old card catalogue often draws interest, nostalgia or curiosity from visitors of all ages, I thought I'd share this stylish photograph (among others on this Buzzfeed<http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/19-vintage-photographs-of-stylin-librari…>, posted 24th July) of lovely Librarians hard at work: [cid:image003.jpg@01D0D108.BE34A890] pinterest.com<http://pinterest.com/pin/89157267592852776/> Have a good weekend!
