Tena tatou katoa We are pleased to announce that Nga Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms, just in time to be released during Te Wiki o te Reo Maori, Maori Language Week. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Maori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in June 2015. There are 13 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and a number of changed terms. We are delighted that we have completed all outstanding requests as far as possible, and we welcome requests for new terms. So please don’t hesitate to send in requests, queries and suggestions to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> – Te Whakakaokao would love to hear from you. Nga kaupapa hou / New terms • Hine-pukohu-rangi = The atua associated with the mist • Io = A highly sacred deity • Kaiwawao = Defence lawyers • Kaiwhiu = Prosecution lawyers • Mahuika = The goddess of fire, sometimes referred to as a male • Matauranga whakahua = Phonetics • Mataku = Fear, dread · Mere = Greenstone clubs · Oro puare = Vowels · Roia = Lawyers · Tohu oro tapara = Double vowels · Wehi = Awe · Whakahua = Pronunciation Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms • The terms relating to pronunciation and linguistics have been revised. The group looked at terms and concepts in the general area of Matauranga wetereo (linguistics) and added several new narrower terms. These include Matauranga whakahua, which is used for phonetics, Oro puare (vowels), Tohu oro tapara (double vowels), and Whakahua. • Several new terms relating to Atua have been created. These include Hine-pukohu-rangi, the atua associated with the mist, the higly sacred deity Io, and Mahuika, the goddess or god of fire. The scope notes relating to Rongomatane and Uenuku have also been refined. • Two terms relating to the experience of fear and awe have been added as narrower terms of Aronganui (emotions). These include Wehi, a sense of awe and fear in response to ihi, and Mataku, which is used for dread and fear. • The scope of Ture (law) has been clarified, and three new narrower terms relating to lawyers have been created. Roia refers to lawyers in general, while Kaiwawao is used for defence lawyers, and Kaiwhiu refers to prosecutors. • The scope of Patu, or hand clubs, has been clarified, and a new term, Mere has been created to describe a flat weapon of stone, often of greenstone. We apologise for the absence of macrons. It has not been possible to include these, for technical reasons relating to the email client.

Cataloguing Syriac
by Tamsyn Bayliss 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

*Apologies for cross-posting* Hello, I have a cataloguing query and wondered if anyone can help... I have a foreign language book, which has been identified as Syriac Aramaic, in Estrangela. A colleague thinks this is similar to the works around Manichaeism, a religion founded in Persia in the 3rd century. This book was probably bound in England, mid-late 19th century, and the only English being a small label for "Watkins binder", who seemed to work with religious texts in foreign languages in late 19th C. Attached are a few photos of the title page, last page, other text and the cover. If anyone might be able to help me translate the title and imprint, please get in touch!

Nga Upoko Tukutuku Maori Subject headings update, June 2015
by Catherine Amey 02 Jun '15

02 Jun '15

Tena tatou katoa We are pleased to announce that Nga 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 Maori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in April 2015. There are 7 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and also 20 changed terms. This work has resolved a number of long-standing and significant issues. Nga kaupapa hou / New terms •Aratohu ma te pouako = Teachers' guides •Ngangara = Invertebrates •Ngohe = Learning activities •Puoro = Music •Rangimarie = Peace •Rauemi = Resources •Taonga = Something highly prized or valuable, which is rarely seen Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms •The new top term, Taonga has been added, which is used to describe something that is rare, highly prized, or valuable. •Some persistent questions around the use of the terms Ngarara and Ngangara have been resolved. The scope of the term Ngarara has been revised to make it clear that it describes many invertebrate animals including reptiles, spiders, insects, centipedes, and various larvae. It is also used to refer to a creature or supernatural being whose form incites fear. A new narrower term, Ngangara has been added, which is limited to describing invertebrate animals including insects, worms, centipedes, gastropods and various larvae. •The scope of the term Tohu has been refined to make it clear that this refers to spiritual signs, omens and guidance as well as physical emblems, insignia, and symbols. •A new term Rangimarie has been added to convey the concept of peace. This is a narrower term of Tikanga tuku iho, which is used for abstract values and principles which underlie Maori social relations and correct conduct. It also relates to Rongomatāne, the personification of peace. •The scope and relationships of the term Patupaiarehe (used for fairylike creatures who are supernatural beings) have been clarified, and a new Tutukutuku, Tahurangi, has been added. •The scope of Matauranga has been clarified to make it clear that this refers to theoretical or practical knowledge acquired through education and/or experience. •A general term for music, Puoro has now been created. This is a narrower term of both Waka toi, Contemporary arts, and Mahi a Rehia, which is used to refer to all Maori traditional pastimes and games. •The scope of the term Whatu has been refined to make it clear that this refers to a technique of twining to weave. •A number of terms have been added to describe educational resources. Aratohu ma te pouako can be used for Teachers' resources, while Ngohe is specific to learning activities. There is also a new term Rauemi, which is used for resources in general. We apologise for the absence of macrons. It has not been possible to include these, for technical reasons relating to the email client. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>.

Join us on a Janeathon?
by Christine Todd 12 May '15

12 May '15

A group of NLNZ cataloguers were intrigued by the “Janeathon” held at the American Library Association’s Mid-winter conference in January. The purpose of the workshop was to: “catalog Jane Austen resources with software specifically designed to use RDA: Resource Description and Access [RIMMF]. 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 details of the original event can be found here<http://www.rdatoolkit.org/janeathon>, and a report on the event is available here<http://www.rda-jsc.org/Jane-athon.html>. We would like to try something similar here in New Zealand and wondered whether any of you would like to join us. CatSig has identified this as an area of interest for New Zealand cataloguers and are adding their support. Thanks to CatSig, we are very fortunate that Deborah Fritz, one of the presenters at the ALA Janeathon, is likely to be present. We are considering holding the event in Wellington just before or just after the National Digital Forum. This year NDF itself is on 13th -14th October. As covered in the information about the original event, 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. 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 would be able to bring a laptop with the RIMMF software loaded on it to work with on the day, but being at least a little familiar with the software beforehand is more important. While the cataloguers at the National Library have spent quite a lot of time using RDA, we are novices in the use of RIMMF and still grappling with RDF triples and what it all means for cataloguing. This means that we are not in a position to offer the full range of expertise available at the original Janeathon, but hopefully we can provide a supportive and fun space to explore, trial and learn, and have some interesting and constructive conversations around RDA and linked data. If you are interested, could you please let me know by May 27th. This will help us with working out what kind of space might be needed. Any questions? Please contact me at this email or via the contact information below.

Nga Upoko Tukutuku Maori Subject headings update, February 2015
by Catherine Amey 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Tena tatou katoa We are pleased to announce that Nga 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 Maori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in December 2014. There are 14 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and also a significant number of changed terms. Nga kaupapa hou / New terms * Ana = Caves * Aria whakaako= Pedagogy * Eke hoiho= Horse-riding * Haereere ana = Caving * Haereere awa = River activities * Hokakatanga = Sexual behaviour and identity * Kaituhi = Authors * Kanga = Corn * Mahaki = Humility * Moari = Traditional swings * Poraka = Frogs * Ritenga = Practices, Processes, Rites, Rituals * Whakahihi = Arrogance, Pride, Vanity * Whakataetae hoiho = Equestrian events Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms A number of existing terms have been amended, some of which have been changed significantly. These terms include: *The terms for sexuality and sexual organs have revised to clarify the distinction between physical anatomy and sexual identity. A new term, Hokakatanga has been added to encompass all aspects of sexuality relating to the physical, emotional and mental aspects of sexual behaviour and identity, while the scope of the existing term Taihemahema is now limited to sexual organs. *A new term Kaituhi has been added to refer to authors, writers, and scribes. Previously, authors had been subsumed within the more general term Hunga mahi toi , which denotes artists and creators of all kinds. *A long-standing request for a term for frogs has now been resolved. The term Poraka has been created, and is located as a narrower term of Aitanga pepeke, the domain of insects, arthropods, and hopping and jumping animals. *The scope of the term Tikanga (ceremonies, customs, protocols, traditions) has been revised and a new narrower term Ritenga has been added. The latter describes methods of applying cultural practices, and can also apply to Western ideas of rites and rituals. *The scope notes relating to the atua Tangaroa and Hinemoana have been revised to make it clear that Tangaroa is the guardian of the sea, and all things living in it, while Hinemoana is the embodiment of the deep seas and the guardian of instruments made of seashells. *The scope and relationships of the terms Kirehu (idoms), Kiwaha (colloquial idoms) and Pepeha (tribal mottos) have been clarified and expanded. We apologise for the absence of macrons. It has not been possible to include these, for technical reasons relating to the email client.

Dear all I am trying to get some indication of how many NZ libraries are currently using WebDewey.

CatSIG is looking for some new committee members
by Joanne Rowan 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

Thank you to those who attended the AGM. We had one volunteer to join the committee. Thank you Anoushka McGuire. We are looking for one or two more people to join the committee and share the workload. If you are looking for new opportunities for you professional registration journal this is a good option. Below is some information on what is involved in being on the committee. There is not a huge amount of work involved. We have one/two meetings per year by phone. The rest of the committee business is carried out by email. Each person is responsible for one/two area of the committee's work: * CatSIG information on the LIANZA website. This information needs to be kept up-to-date and any new information about training opportunities added. * CatSIG gmail list. This needs to be monitored to ensure emails are responded to promptly. Usually general queries or applications for sponsorship or training course we are running. * CatSIG's representative on the DescribeNZ wiki moderators group. A meeting is held every two months, the person needs to look at the wiki and contribute ideas on content and ways to continue to improve it. This can be done in conjunction with other members of the committee. * Listserv "bounce". The listserv automatically generates an email when someone subscribes or unsubscribes to the listserv these are bounced to an email address rather than going out to every listserv member. Likewise, any email sent to the listserv by someone NOT subscribed to the listserv also bounces. Emails from non-subscribers are forwarded to the list. * Secretary - taking minutes in meetings * Treasurer - sign off on invoices for payment along with another member of the committee and forward these to LIANZA for payment, and send out invoices for any training sessions we run using a template. Please respond by 31st of October if you are interested to jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz> 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>

Reminder TQM cataloguing workshops on Rudimentary RDA, RDA and copy cataloguing and MARC21 registration closing shortly
by Joanne Rowan 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

[Apologies for the cross-posting] CATSIG is running the following TMQ (The Marc of Quality) cataloguing workshops: MARC21 in your library (1 day): This course is a beginner's introduction to MARC21 and how it is meant to work in a library automation system. It explains what the MARC standards are and how those standards tie in with our current cataloguing rules (AACR) to help cataloguers create data that will function effectively in a library catalogue. See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html for more information. In Wellington or online on 9th Sept. 9am-4pm CatSIG members $150, LIANZA members $200, Other $250 Rudimentary RDA (1 day): In the course of the workshop, we intend to answer the following questions: * How RDA is intended to help the users of our OPACs * What are FRBR, WEMI, FISO, and FRAD * What is really different about RDA * What is the RDA Toolkit * What is RIMMF * How the Toolkit and RDA-based cataloguing software (such as RIMMF) will make it simpler for us to describe and provide access to resources * What we should do with RDAMARC records that we copy, to make those records work properly in our OPACs See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information. In Wellington or online on 8th Sept. 9am-4pm CatSIG members $150, LIANZA members $200, Other $250 RDA/MARC for Copy Cats (2 days): Copy cataloguing is becoming somewhat more complicated, as various important creators of MARC records gradually switch from following AACR rules to following RDA instructions for the records they make. RDA/MARC records certainly look different than AACR/MARC records, and so do the Hybrid AACR/MARC records that are also showing up for you to copy. But the good news is that there are some straightforward patterns in the RDA instructions that will help clarify the changes that RDA brings to our copy cataloguing process. You will need to have access to a computer for this session. See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information. In Auckland or online on 26-27 Aug. 9am-4pm CatSIG members $300, LIANZA members $400, Other $500 To register please send an email to catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> by Wednesday 20th August. 1. Name 2. Organisation 3. I/my staff will attend the following (Please delete the workshops you are not interested in). MARC21 in your library Rudimentary RDA RDA/MARC for Copy Cats 4.

We are looking for expressions of interesting in the following TQM workshops: MARC21 in your library (1 day): This course is a beginner's introduction to MARC21 and how it is meant to work in a library automation system. It explains what the MARC standards are and how those standards tie in with our current cataloguing rules (AACR) to help cataloguers create data that will function effectively in a library catalogue. See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html for more information. Rudimentary RDA (1 day): In the course of the workshop, we intend to answer the following questions: * How RDA is intended to help the users of our OPACs * What are FRBR, WEMI, FISO, and FRAD * What is really different about RDA * What is the RDA Toolkit * What is RIMMF * How the Toolkit and RDA-based cataloguing software (such as RIMMF) will make it simpler for us to describe and provide access to resources * What we should do with RDAMARC records that we copy, to make those records work properly in our OPACs See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information. RDA/MARC for Copy Cats (2 days): Copy cataloguing is becoming somewhat more complicated, as various important creators of MARC records gradually switch from following AACR rules to following RDA instructions for the records they make. RDA/MARC records certainly look different than AACR/MARC records, and so do the Hybrid AACR/MARC records that are also showing up for you to copy. But the good news is that there are some straightforward patterns in the RDA instructions that will help clarify the changes that RDA brings to our copy cataloguing process. See the TMQ website http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/rda.html for more information. RDA Minus MARC (2 days): Catalogers who already understand how RDA differs from AACR2 may still struggle with the more conceptual aspects of RDA, such as making relationships among the FRBR/FRAD entities. This advanced RDA workshop provides an opportunity to work hands-on with RDA in a non-MARC environment, using RIMMF, a freely available visualization and training tool. Deborah Fritz will explain RIMMF and lead attendees through a series of examples to create attribute and relationship data for works, expressions, manifestations, items, persons and corporate bodies; with the emphasis on understanding how RDA thinking is different from AACR2 and MARC. Expected costs Rudimentary RDA and MARC21: CatSIG members $150, LIANZA members $200, Other $250 RDA/MARC for Copy Cats and RDA Minus MARC: CatSIG members $300, LIANZA members $400, Other $500 Please note all the workshops will be held online via webinar. You will need access to a computer for RDA/MARC for Copy Cats and RDA Minus MARC If your or your staff are interested in attending these workshops, we would appreciate your response to the following questions. This will help us gauge the current level of demand for these course. Please send responses to catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> by Friday 23rd May. 1. Name 2.

by Christine Todd 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi All, The National Library has now added its RDA attributes policy to the RDA toolkit and this policy is available globally. It can be found in the RDA toolkit workflows under the title: NLNZ RDA Attributes Policy. We are also working on a policy document for RDA relationships and we will share that via the RDA toolkit when it has been developed further. In addition we have a number of RDA maps that we plan to share over the next couple of months. These will be available as RDA toolkit Maps and will all have titles beginning "NLNZ … " There are 2 maps available at present NLNZ Musical Sound Recordings and NLNZ Music Scores. These maps are slightly dated and we will be reviewing and updating them over the next few months. If anyone has any queries about National Library documents available in the RDA toolkit please contact us at rda(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:rda@dia.govt.nz> many thanks Chris Chris (Christine) Todd | Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 | Extn: 3093 Corner of Molesworth & Aitken Streets | PO Box 1467, Wellington 6140, New Zealand | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz> National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs

Our motivations for creating this video were multiple: here at Kent State University, the Technical Services Department needed a way to train new staff and graduate student assistants. Having them watch a video is more efficient than providing face-to-face instruction for each new person. Second, results of a survey done in late 2012 showed that nearly a third of Ohio public library catalogers had never heard of RDA at the time of the survey.* We wanted to provide something to aid all kinds of catalogers – public, school, you name it – in getting comfortable with RDA. Please feel free to share this link with other discussion lists. I’d appreciate it especially if people would pass the link on to discussion lists for public and school librarians.

RDA update August 2013
by Christine Todd 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

RDA update August 2013 NLNZ cataloguing and RDA The National Library has been using RDA since April and some of us are surprised at how quickly AACR2 is fading into the background. There is still considerable discussion on the application of RDA at an international level and this has already resulted in changes to some RDA instructions. The National Library expects to adapt its cataloguing policies as best practices evolve internationally. Hybrid Records Several US library vendors are offering RDA records and at ALA some were offering an RDA conversion service. Such a service would “hybridise” existing AACR records in various ways; the main changes being the expansion of standard cataloguing abbreviations, the addition of the RDA content type, media type and carrier type fields, and the possible addition of relationship designators. OCLC supports the creation of hybrid records in its RDA policy statement<https://www.oclc.org/en-US/rda/new-policy.html> Hybrid records in the New Zealand NUC A cursory exploration of the NUC showed a good number of hybrid records, although many fewer than full RDA records. One major source of hybrid records for the NUC at present seems to be British Library CiP records, which are created by a vendor. Cataloguers who want to know how to identify such records could work through the RDA seminar session 8. Activity: Identifying RDA Records from last year’s Barbara Tillett RDA seminar<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/59180786/Presentations%20from%2…> Your questions? The change in record standards creates challenges for cataloguers and challenges for automated record matching processes. If you identify any duplicate records or records that you suspect have been incorrectly merged, please leave the records unchanged and contact Data Review at Data-Review(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:Data-Review@dia.govt.nz> If you have questions about RDA or AACR2 and the content of records please contact the National Library cataloguing team leaders at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> American Library Association annual conference and cataloguing At ALA the question was not whether to change to RDA but rather when to change, with many larger libraries already well underway with their use of the new standard. One or two meetings discussed general implementation of RDA, but there was a greater focus on specific aspects of RDA than on the standard as a whole. Bibframe There were a number of ALA sessions that included discussion of the Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative (Bibframe<http://bibframe.org/>); the Library of Congress’s project for the replacement of the MARC format. The Bibframe email list includes posts from a mix of cataloguers, metadata specialists, and people who write code and is very interesting reading. This project could have a major impact on the future of cataloguing and is definitely one to watch.

Three days is not sufficient to cover every aspect of RDA but the course will provide a starting point for original cataloguing in the new standard. It covers the basics of cataloguing using RDA with an emphasis on monographs, as well as use of the online toolkit. Content will be delivered using presentations, discussion and practical exercises. The course is built on materials developed by the National Library of Australia for their Resource Description and Access : train the trainer course. It will held at the University of Canterbury on July 31, August 1 and 2, 2013. The cost to attendees is not finalised but will be limited to catering.

More information on the content may be found at http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html. CatSIG is able to provide substantial sponsorship this year to enable as many librarians as possible to participate in this training, but the final cost to each participant will depend on the level of interest received. Preference will be given to those who have not already completed an Original cataloguing in RDA course. CatSIG asks for expressions of interest providing the following information: Name of participant/s: Library name: Preferred location: Face-to-face or online? Please direct any questions to Janess Stewart at janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> or phone 04-4743118.

Forwarded on behalf of Judith Wenborn - WENBORN, Judith (CHRIPP) <Judith.WENBORN(a)CORRECTIONS.GOVT.NZ> Happy Friday everyone, Its been interesting reading the comments about the RDA training. My colleague Susan Smith and I attended an introductory session in ChCh a couple of yours ago which was very useful, but just a taster really. Unfortunately because of our department's security issues, etc we do not have access to Webinar sessions. Very frustrating as so much training is now offered this way. Like Lynne, we would also appreciate an introductory session with a live person sometime. Maybe a conference session would suit many of us.

Forwarded thanks from Lynne
by Jessie Moir 16 May '13

16 May '13

Here is a message of thanks posted on behalf of Lynne Huddleston: Thanks for getting back to me Janess and thank you to the other Librarians for their helpful comments and suggestions. I suppose that what I was really thinking about was actually a group meeting with a trainer to get a basic idea of how RDA works. So not so much about how or why it was developed, but more about what RDA is and how to actually implement it as simply as possible, with some good hands on examples of how to catalogue using it. Or is it a case of just importing records that are already catalogued in this way? Personally I dislike Webinar sessions, and as you can probably guess I'm not a fan of on-line training either. Having said that, I will certainly use Help buttons, and internet Q & A's etc when I need to. I have clicked on the links you've provided.. and to me it's like another language with all those acronyms. It seems to me that RDA is very difficult, but maybe it's actually not difficult at all, I just don't have a clue about it. I think you just can't beat actually listening to, and being able to ask questions of, a real person who is actually present. That means the trainer can get a feel for the group and tailor their presentation as they go. I know you can ask questions on a Webinar but I find it difficult, you're interrupting the flow of the speaker, it's tricky - almost embarrassing. I don't think I've learnt anything from the Webinars I've participated in, but I've come to grips with Te Puna from just one introductory session with Ann Barrie, and learnt heaps about copyright from another session with Tony Millett, nailed Endnote from a great session with Charlotte Clements and mastered Web of Knowledge with training from Steven Werkheiser...people who are experts in their fields, but who can get down to basics. I'm not suggesting that this is something that is needed right away, but just something that you could possibly bear in mind for the future. Please don't think that this is a criticism of all the excellent material and work you and your colleagues have provided on RDA, it's not at all, I'm just a different target audience from your experienced cataloguers. It's wonderful all the efforts that you all are making to get a new way of doing things up and running Kind regards Lynne ##################################################################################### Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Thank you for the questions that have been posted to the lists about RDA training in response to my email. It is always encouraging to see interest in RDA. For people in Lynne's position, CatSIG recently offered Deborah Fritz's course "Rudimentary RDA" as a webinar and more sessions are planned for August and September. Details about the content of Deborah's course is available at http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html CatSIG is currently in discussion with a provider for courses in using RDA for copy cataloguing. CatSIG will be calling for expressions of interest in the very near future to determine the number and location of cataloguers requiring this training. If anyone is interested in some introductory material about RDA, I recommend the material on the DescribeNZ wiki, in particular the presentations from the CatSIG seminars held last year with Barbara Tillett as the guest presenter. They are all available at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/59180786/Presentations%20from%2… In response to Paul's observation, the 3-day course covers full original cataloguing applying RDA instructions and using the RDA toolkit. We have found that 3 days is necessary to cover the content in sufficient depth. We asked for expressions of interest because this course works best with a small group and we want to make it available to as many different libraries as possible. Regards Janess From: Lynne Huddleston [mailto:Lynne.Huddleston@cawthron.org.nz] Sent: Thursday, 16 May 2013 11:27 a.m. To: Janess Stewart; 'catsig(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz'; NZ-Libs(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz Subject: RE: Orginal cataloguing in RDA training course Good Morning Janess and fellow Librarians I was just wondering about the possibility of a small-scale course on RDA being made available sometime in the future. Something along the lines of the Te Puna Interloan Training courses that are regularly offered around the country. Say a half or short-day course, something that just covered the very basic basics! My Library doesn't actually buy very many books, so there would be no way I could justify attending a 3-day course. However, the funny thing is that I'd actually like to know what this RDA cataloguing is, and it's just a mystery to me at present... So just throwing the idea out there, and wondering if others would be interested?

Changes to LC/NACO authority records
by Judith Keats 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear colleagues, In preparation for Resource Description & Access (RDA), the Library of Congress (LC) has implemented the second phase of changes to their Name Authority File, which also contains name authority records created by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) members including the National Library of New Zealand. Phase 2 changes are automated changes to 1XX access points/headings, 4XX See references and 5XX See also references in authority records that are not acceptable under RDA. These changes include the modification of Bible and Koran headings and the spelling out of abbreviations such as Dept. and months. For full details of the changes, see Summary of programmatic changes to the LC/NACO authority file at http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/pdf/lcnaf_rdaphase.pdf See references for the AACR2 heading are added to each changed authority record. Some New Zealand examples of 1XX access points/headings that have just been changed are: New Zealand. Department of Conservation University of Canterbury. Department of Civil Engineering Gordon, Harry, 1925 November 9- Warner, Lionel, -1986 Occasional publications (Victoria University of Wellington. Department of Politics) These changes began last week and will continue for the rest of March until all identified access points/headings have been changed. The order of these changes is based on the order in which the authority records were originally created and the change to one authority record does not trigger a change to related authority records or to records with an extension of that name. This means that in the short term 500 See also references in some authority records could be changed before the 100 access point/heading they refer to. These changes will result in a considerable amount of bibliographic file maintenance which will be worked through both globally and manually over the coming weeks. During this time of change, please continue to use the authorised form of access point/heading in your bibliographic records. This email is also available on DescribeNZ at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/32141727/RDA%20Authorities%20pa… Kind regards, Judy Judy Keats Authority Record Co-ordinator Content Services National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua PO Box 1467 Wellington 6140 New Zealand Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4518 Email: judith.keats(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:judith.keats@dia.govt.nz> www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> The National Library’s refurbished Molesworth Street building is now open from, Monday to Saturday 8.30am to 5.00pm.

Resource Description & Access (RDA) Update March 2013
by Christine Todd 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

RDA Implementation The National Library will start using RDA as the standard for descriptive cataloguing of textual monographs (both print and digital) from early April 2013. We will continue to use existing AACR2 records for older material and for non-New Zealand material, but all new records will follow RDA. Other formats will be phased in over the next few months as we develop our cataloguing policies and workflows. We expect to be using RDA for all materials, with the possible exception of rare books, by December 2013. The Library's RDA cataloguing policy document is available on the DescribeNZ wiki here<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/38345502/National%20Library%20o…>. RDA Training In February, the National Library cataloguing team leaders (Chris Todd, Janess Stewart and Andra Patterson) presented a pilot National Library of New Zealand version of the National Library of Australia's RDA Train the Trainer course to a group of cataloguers in Dunedin. We plan to offer further courses after May 2013, once our RDA implementation is underway. Deborah Fritz of The MARC of Quality<http://www.marcofquality.com/> has presented the first of two webinars on Rudimentary RDA. The second webinar will be held in early April and is already fully subscribed. Deborah will be in New Zealand from around late August and we expect that other courses will be available then. The National Library RDA training materials are also available on the DescribeNZ wiki here<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/26674876/RDA%20Training> Please contact any of us if you have questions about RDA: Chris Todd christine.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:christine.todd@dia.govt.nz> Janess Stewart janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> Andra Patterson andra.patterson(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:andra.patterson@dia.govt.nz> Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: christine.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz>

Pilot RDA cataloguing course
by Janess Stewart 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

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

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

22 Nov '12

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

Re: [CatSIG] RDA Records in NZ library catalogues
by Sarah Menzies 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Thank you for the links Chris and for the tips on searching for RDA records in the NUC. Auckland Libraries will find these useful. I have just checked and found that we have over 680 RDA records so far. Our answers to the questions below are: a) Any reactions to the records from other staff and users: No reactions or questions so far that we are aware of. This may be partly because we have chosen not to display the 336-338 fields in our OPAC. b) How the records display in your OPAC and how the new fields are (or aren’t) indexed: o We have suppressed the 336, 337 & 338 from display in the OPAC and in AquaBrowser. We have no plans to index these fields, although would like to look at the potential for adding them as filtering/faceting options in future. o We display the relationship designators in the full record only but are not indexing them. c) Anything about these records that you are having to change at the moment so that they work in your system: o We have had MARC updates 9-13 applied to Millennium and are in the process of having MARC update no. 14 applied (it is on our Test system currently). Cataloguers are changing the 264 field in RDA records to 260 in the meantime in order not to have it display as an invalid field. We are updating our indexes also but not for RDA specifically. For RDA, we only have the addition of the 518|d, |o and |p fields so far. We would be interested to know if other libraries are or plan to index other fields. d) Anything about these records that you have questions about and are wondering how or whether to edit: We are bound to have questions in time but do not so far at the moment as far I am aware. The three Auckland Libraries team leaders have started work on an RDA copy-editing cheat sheet for our cataloguers. We hope to complete this soon and will be happy to share.

RDA Update from National Library
by Chris Rae Todd 05 Nov '12

05 Nov '12

Hi All, The National Library cataloguers are now up to our fifth week of RDA training. We are working in 3 groups of 7 or 8 people and we schedule 4 hours each week for RDA. The rest of the time it's business as usual. The normal pattern for the 4 hour session is: * 10-15 minutes recap and questions from the previous week. * 1 hour - 1 1/2 hour powerpoint presentation on the topic for the week * the group then practice individually or together * for the last 30 minutes the group gets back together to share questions, examples or other items of interest We are using the LC training presentations as the basis for our training, however we edit and remove slides depending on their relevance to our situation. Mostly we are removing slides that emphasise less common situations as we want to be sure that we have a good grasp of basic principles applied to records for normal resources. We have completed work on describing manifestations and items (with an emphasis on print monographs) and in the week beginning November 12th we will start looking at identifying works. This part of our training is available on the DescribeNZ wiki http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/60600175/RDA%20Training%20Part%… Our draft RDA cataloguing policies are also available on DescribeNZ. As we work our way more carefully through the RDA instructions we are identifying areas where we might want to review our original policies, so these draft policies could well change over the next few months. We also continue to follow news about RDA and the Bibliographic Framework developments on various listservs. The three Cataloguing Team Leaders (Charlotte Stretton, Janess Stewart and I) will be in Canberra from November 6-9 attending the National Library of Australia's RDA Train the Trainer course. I will send out another update reporting on that training when we get back.

FW: [rdaaust] RDA awareness training
by Chris Rae Todd 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hi All, This email came through on the Australian RDA list so I am sending it on to CatSIG, just in case anyone is interested. Chris Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz> The National Library is pleased to announce the official reopening on 27 November 2012 of its refurbished Wellington building. If you just can't wait come to our building on Molesworth Street between 10am - 5pm Monday - Saturday to find out more about what we have on offer - the Alexander Turnbull Reading Rooms and Turnbull Gallery are open now. . From: rdaaust-request(a)nla.gov.au [mailto:rdaaust-request@nla.gov.au] On Behalf Of Lynn Farkas Sent: Monday, 29 October 2012 4:06 p.m. To: aglin-l(a)nla.gov.au; rdaaust(a)nla.gov.au Subject: [rdaaust] RDA awareness training Dear Colleagues (including managers, supervisors and non-cataloguers!), apologies for cross-posting Lynn Farkas Information Services is pleased to announce the first of a series of training sessions on the introduction of RDA (Resource Description and Access), the new cataloguing guidelines. Our first two offerings will centre around 'RDA Awareness' - getting staff at all levels to think about how RDA will affect their areas and their clients. Cataloguing is the engine that drives library services, so changes in how and what libraries catalogue will have a flow-on effect to all other parts of the organisation. The sessions we outline below address that impact. They are designed to help your staff think about, and begin planning for, appropriate change. Our RDA awareness courses are short 1-hour introductions to specific topics, targeting the needs of non-cataloguing staff, team leaders, section heads and library managers - as well as practicing cataloguers. Please note that we will be offering more intensive full-day training for cataloguers (focusing on the practical details of cataloguing with RDA) in the first quarter of 2013, closer to the time when many national services will be cataloguing with the new guidelines. Course Details Course title: Managing RDA Venue: Lynn Farkas Information Services, 18 Howchin Place, Torrens ACT Duration: 1 hour Presenters: Lynn Farkas, Helen Rowe Date: Thursday, 22nd November 2012 Time: 9am - 10am Cost: $88.00 per person, including GST Summary: This session introduces RDA and explains how it affects various aspects of libraries and their user services. We deal in turn with the implications for customer services staff, top management, and cataloguing managers and supervisors. This session is designed for supervisors and managers at all levels, who have practical concerns about whether and/or how their sections might need to adjust policies and procedures. The focus of the session is on change management, policy planning and awareness of implementation decisions. Note: although we will refer to some of the new RDA guidelines to illustrate areas which might be affected, this course will not cover the cataloguing differences between RDA and AACR2 in detail. Can't get away from your office? Why not join our Webinar on Tuesday 27th November 2012, from 2.30pm to 3.30pm. The cost is the same - $88.00 per person (including GST) Course title: Managing RDA Venue: interactive online Webinar session accessed from your desktop Duration: 1 hour Presenters: Lynn Farkas, Helen Rowe Date: Tuesday 27th November 2012 Time: 2.30pm - 3.30pm Cost: $88.00 per person, including GST Summary: as above. Course title: Demystifying FRBR and FRAD Venue: interactive online Webinar session accessed from your desktop Duration: 1 hour Presenters: Lynn Farkas, Helen Rowe Date: Thursday 29th November 2012 Time: 10am - 11am Cost: $88.00 per person, including GST Summary: If you're not even sure what FRBR or FRAD are, this session is for you! We will explain FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) and FRAD (Functional Requirements for Authority Data) and how they underpin the new RDA cataloguing guidelines. More importantly, we will explain why you need to know about them and how this will help your cataloguing workflow. This session is designed to get staff used to new ways of thinking about cataloguing, in preparation for using the new RDA guidelines. The focus of the session is on understanding FRBR/FRAD concepts and terminology, with a practical interactive exercise to help consolidate these ideas. Cataloguers will find it particularly useful as a prequel to RDA training - and it will also help non-cataloguing staff understand this new initiative. This session is only offered as a Webinar at this stage. Note: Although we may refer to some of the new RDA guidelines to illustrate FRBR concepts, this course will not cover the cataloguing differences between RDA and AACR2 in detail. Never participated in a Webinar before? We'll send you details of how to 'attend' and what to expect. The Presenters Our presenters Lynn Farkas and Helen Rowe are experienced cataloguers, qualified trainers and designated RDA trainers. Both Helen and Lynn recently completed the National Library's intensive 'train-the-trainer' RDA course - so you'll be in good hands! Bookings Course sizes are limited for both face-to-face sessions and webinars. To book for either of these courses, please email Helen Rowe therowes3(a)bigpond.com<mailto:therowes3@bigpond.com>. If you are interested in 'Managing RDA', please ensure you state your preference for the face-to-face or Webinar option. We look forward to training you.

RDA records in Wellington City Libraries' catalogue
by Pauline Hayter 01 Nov '12

01 Nov '12

Hi All Thanks for that message Chris, WCL's catalogue currently includes about 130 RDA records residing (almost) happily alongside the AACR2 ones. In answer to your four questions: A) No reactions so far from staff outside cataloguing, or our patrons B) & C) As we can dictate (through the use of what are called "Bib forms") what tags/subfields can display in our OPAC (our in-house system is CARLX) there is no problem with display of the full record, although currently we do have a problem with the 264 tag, subfield "c" in the search results lists - our parameters generate publication date display in short title records (in all modules) from 260/c, so any RDA records with a 264 tag will not display a date - we have requested a change to our parameters from the CARL/TLC folk but I don't think that will happen in a hurry - therefore we have decided (for now) to change the 264 tag to a 260 tag in our own system after bringing the record in. D) We do not edit any RDA records on the NUC and do minimal editing on them in our own system - mainly because a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! - but sometimes add pagination, or fix the copyright date symbol. I have been looking at documentation on the internet which has been helpfully put up there by some caring cataloguers - there are some editing cheat sheets which may be useful on the Special Libraries Cataloguing site:- http://special-cataloguing.com/node/1408 & lately I have been looking at Yale University's documentation - an example here re the 264 tag:- http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/Orbis2Manual/CIP2RDA.htm & I have also gone through LC's "Using the RDA toolkit" document:- http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/pdf/ToolkitCourse.pdf to help with navigating the RDA rules universe. We will have to develop, or are willing to work with others to develop, some kind of cheatsheet or a set of guidelines for how to deal with editing CIP RDA records - at the moment we are just letting sleeping dogs lie pretty much, but that can't last ...

RDA Records in NZ library catalogues
by Chris Rae Todd 01 Nov '12

Hi All, Janess, Charlotte and I have been thinking about what might be helpful for people in dealing with RDA right now - with more records becoming available and while we're still in a pre-implementation period. Here are some thoughts that we hope might be useful 1. Looking at RDA records so that we gain some idea of their content and some of the differences between RDA and AACR2. The recent CatSIG RDA seminar included an activity looking at records. This is available on the DescribeNZ wiki at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/file/59465135/Identifying%20RDA%20Re… It is also possible to look for RDA records in the NUC, the New Zealand Libraries Catalogue and the National Library's own catalogue, by searching on the keyword "rdacarrier" 2. Assessing how RDA records function in our catalogues at the moment. Some libraries will already have quite a few RDA records in their catalogues and it would be useful share experiences of a) any reactions to the records from other staff and users b) how the records display in your OPAC and how the new fields are (or aren't) indexed c) anything about these records that you are having to change at the moment so that they work in your system d) anything about these records that you have questions about and are wondering how or whether to edit. National Library of New Zealand has about 100 RDA records in our catalogue at the moment. Our answers to the above questions are as follows: a) With so few records it's no surprise that we have had no comments from other staff about any changes (with the exception of one former cataloguer who noticed some differences in record content). b) At present our Voyager OPAC doesn't display the 336-338 fields (the content type, media type and carrier type fields) but these fields are indexed in the general keyword index. The new MARC 264 field covering publication/ distribution, copyright, etc. also doesn't display in the OPAC. We will look at getting this changed. Relationship designators (e.g. author, illustrator, librettist) display in the OPAC and are indexed in the general keyword index. c) With so few records coming in at this stage, we have done virtually no editing. The one change we made to a record was to get the copyright symbol to display correctly. d) We haven't had any RDA records come in that seemed to need lots of changes yet, although we realise that we will need to look at CiP records at some stage. I'm hoping the comments that come in for c) and d) will help us develop some kind of cheatsheet or set of guidelines to deal with RDA records in this transition period. If there are libraries that have already developed something of this sort, or found someone else's guidelines that you are following, it would be great if you were willing to share this with the rest of us.

Enhanced bibliographic records on the NUC
by Janess Stewart 18 Oct '12

18 Oct '12

Upgraded records As part of the Maximising Te Puna Value programme, the National Library of New Zealand recently made available in the National Union Catalogue (NUC) its back files of pre-publication ISSN and ISBN records. We will continue to add these records and Cataloguing-in-Publication (CiP) records to the NUC as part of our standard workflow. All of these records are for resources that fit the scope of the New Zealand National Bibliography: http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/57060042/Scope%20of%20the%20New… The National Library is now offering monthly MARC files of bibliographic records that have been upgraded to full records on the NUC. The files include: · records that were previously ISSN or ISBN or ISMN pre-publication records * records that were previously CiP records * records that were previously short records added by other libraries Libraries will be able to use these MARC files to upgrade in their local systems short bibliographic records that they have brought in previously from the NUC. These records are only for material in scope for the New Zealand National Bibliography. The files are available on the National Library website at http://beta.natlib.govt.nz/librarians/te-puna/te-puna-records Tables of Contents (TOCs) Since 2010 cataloguers at the National Library of New Zealand have been adding table of contents information to records for New Zealand published material in accordance with the policy available on the DescribeNZ wiki: http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/38345509/National%20Library%20o… A recent project to add TOCs to New Zealand and Pacific monographs published between 2005 and 2009 resulted in nearly 2000 TOCs being added to bibliographic records on the NUC. Ten Dewey-sequenced MARC files have been created and libraries will be able to use these MARC files to upgrade bibliographic records in their local systems that they have previously brought in from the NUC. The MARC files of these records are available on the National Library website at http://beta.natlib.govt.nz/librarians/te-puna/te-puna-records Book awards The National Library of New Zealand has been addding notes to bibliographic records when a publication is the winner of a major New Zealand book award e.g. the New Zealand Post Book Awards.

RDA for non-cataloguers
by Chris Rae Todd 16 Oct '12

16 Oct '12

Hi folks, Here are two presentations that introduce RDA to non-cataloguers. The first is a 2010 presentation by Judy Kuhagen of the Library of Congress for the LC reference staff, and the second is a much shorter and more general presentation that I gave at the 2010 LIANZA but it has been updated slightly for 2012. 1. http://www.rda-jsc.org/docs/10_11_30_LCReferencestaffbriefingrev2011.ppt 2. RDA: Coming Soon to a Catalogue Near You powerpoint: http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/file/58870591/RDA%20Coming%20Soon%20… If anyone has come across other presentations of this kind, please send them to the CatSIG list.

CatSIG RDA Seminars
by Chris Rae Todd 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Apologies for cross-posting. Thank you to everyone who attended an RDA seminar at the end of last month. We were very fortunate in having Barbara Tillett as our key speaker. The feedback from the Palmerston North and Dunedin groups has been very positive. The Auckland group also had a great atmosphere, but as we didn't deliver their evaluation forms until after the seminar, we haven't heard back from people yet. The main issue identified was the time constraints in Palmerston North which limited the opportunities for discussion. There are two main messages that came through, both at the seminars and in your evaluation forms. 1. People would like more practical engagement with RDA. The activity that involved examining records was very well-received. 1. One size will not fit all when it comes to RDA training. Libraries vary in the amount of original cataloguing versus copy-cataloguing that they do. They vary in their use of the MARC format. They vary in the ways they are able to interact with their library system, and the best time to think about moving to a new cataloguing standard also varies from library to library. So where to from here? 1. The three National Library cataloguing team leaders are definitely attending the National Library of Australia's RDA Train the Trainer course in early November. This will provide us with training and materials that we could use to offer some form of RDA training in New Zealand, depending on all those variables I mentioned above. 2. The first impact of RDA that is affecting libraries is the increase in the number of RDA records coming in to the NUC from OCLC. I will send a separate email, after Labour Weekend, to start some discussion about how different libraries are dealing with RDA records at present. I'm hoping that this discussion can lead to the development of factsheets or guidelines that we can all use during this transition period. I will be on leave next week, but back again after Labour Weekend to continue this work. If people have thoughts about RDA training please do send them to this list or directly to me if you prefer. Have a great weekend everyone Chris Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz> ==== CAUTION: This email message and any attachments contain information that may be confidential and may be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.

Moving on from the MARC format
by Chris Rae Todd 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Here are links to two presentations for people who are interested in the Bibliographic Framework initiative of the Library of Congress. 1. Sally McCallum's presentation from a talk given at IGeLU: http://igelu.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IGeLU-sally-McCallum.pptx plus a transcript of Sally's talk by Chris Keene of the University of Sussex at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wDvBYFmXMooChQP7ZJ5Upts7ueRlpykAuDySgIl… 2. Library of Congress New Bibliographic Framework Initiative: Update Forum http://www.loc.gov/today/cyberlc/feature_wdesc.php?rec=5605 Speaker: Eric Miller Co-Founder and President of Zepheira The Library of Congress has contracted with Zepheira to help accelerate the launch of the Bibliographic Framework Initiative. The new bibliographic framework project will be focused on the Web environment, Linked Data principles and mechanisms, and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a basic data model. Zepheira, led by Eric Miller, has been active in the development of Semantic Web and library standards as well as open source tools to support linked data technologies and library applications. Zepheira will provide both a model (or models) to serve as a starting point for discussion and an analysis of related initiatives. The Library anticipates an iterative process, drawing from feedback from the community, and a subsequent progression of requirements. The stated goals are a flexible bibliographic framework, a robust reference code, a supporting infrastructure for deployment, and an effective migration plan from MARC to a new framework.

Changes to LC/NACO authority records
by Judith Keats 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Dear colleagues, In preparation for RDA, the Library of Congress (LC) has implemented two phases of changes to their Name Authority File, which also contains name authority records created by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) members. Phase 1 of the programmatic changes to the LC/NACO Name Authority File has recently been completed and the revised authority records have been added to the National Union Catalogue (NUC). This first phase involved authority records that have 1XX fields that cannot be used in RDA bibliographic records without review and that cannot be changed mechanically. The 1XX has not changed but a 667 has been added to say that the record cannot be used under RDA until it has been reviewed or updated. This phase affected over 400,000 authority records. Cataloguers working in the NUC will see authority records that contain the following 667 field: THIS 1XX FIELD CANNOT BE USED UNDER RDA UNTIL THIS RECORD HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND/OR UPDATED Some examples are: SJD (Musician) Ihimaera, Witi, 1944- Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand Please note that the name headings in these authority records are still valid for use in AACR2 bibliographic records. The NACO Team at the National Library of New Zealand can identify those changed authority records with an Nz in the 040 and will review these when they have finished their training in RDA authority records. The second phase will start as close to Day 1 of RDA implementation (i.e. March 31, 2013) as possible and will involve modifying AACR2 authority records with 1XX, 4XX and 5XX fields that can be changed mechanically, e.g. changing Dept. to Department and b. to born. These changed authority records will be updated in the NUC as we receive them. Both these phases will involve a relatively small proportion of authority records. The vast majority of AACR2 authority records have headings that can be used under RDA without modification and these will be re-coded as RDA authority records after March 2013.

RDA Training Options
by Chris Rae Todd 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

The National Library is looking for expressions of interest from cataloguers interested in developing ideas around RDA training in New Zealand. This will include identification of existing training opportunities, training providers and relevant materials. We will also be looking for information on the training needs of different types and sizes of library as a followup to the training survey of 2010. We are not expecting the members of this group to write or develop training materials. We're looking for your ideas, your opinions of existing training materials and your ability to identify any gaps in training options. At this stage we anticipate that communication will be by email, rather than face-to-face meetings. If you are interested please contact me by August 17th. Many thanks Chris Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz ==== CAUTION: This email message and any attachments contain information that may be confidential and may be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.

Nga Upoko Tukutuku July 2012 update
by Catherine Amey 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Tena tatou katoa, Nga mihi mahana ki a koutou i runga i te kaupapa o Te Wiki o te Reo Maori e heke mai nei. Anei he pitopito korero na matou o Te Komiti Whakahaere me Te Whakakaokao (ara, nga kaimahi o Nga Upoko Tukutuku) e pa ana ki nga Kaupapa Hou kua tapirihia atu ki tenei mea e kia ana ko Nga Upoko Tukutuku. He kaupapa kia kaua e monemone haere te reo Maori, na reira he mihi kau ake ki a koutou e whakapau kaha ana ki te whakau i tenei kaupapa. Na reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa. We are pleased to inform you that we have completed another another upload of subject headings for July 2012. These terms came from the work of the MSH Librarian and were viewed by Te Whakakaokao, the MSH Project Team, at the last project team hui, held in April 2012. There are 18 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready to be used in library catalogues. Kaupapa hou / New terms Some of the significant kaupapa hou (new terms) include: * Ki-o-Rahi = Traditional ball games * Mana o te wai = Water rights, Riparian rights * Mangai = Representatives * Watene Maori = Maori wardens * Whakamaori = Translating, translations * Whare tangata = Uterus, womb Mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms A total of 24 existing terms or references have been amended, some of which have changed significantly. These terms include: The scope notes and whakamarama of Ropu Torangapu have been widened and rewritten to include political parties and groups, either inside or outside Parliament. Ropu Torangapu now encompasses activist groups, lobby groups, and political parties. Qualifiers have been added to the English see references for terms describing jewellery and adornments, in order to offer guidance on when to use a specific term. Previously this was not obvious from the English see references. For example, Hei matau now has the English Use for references: Adornments (Fish hooks) and Jewellery (Fish hooks) Similarly, qualifiers have been added to clarify the English see references for terms describing carving patterns. For example, Marakihau now has the English Use for references: Carving patterns (Mermen) and Carving patterns (Sea creatures). These changes can now be viewed at "Changes to existing terms, July 2012" on the home page of Ngā Ūpoko Tukutuku. If you have any suggestions for new headings please send an email to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> and provide us with its context. Nā reira, e hoa ma tena tatou katoa. Na Kim matou ko Charlotte, ko Jacinta, ko Te Whakakaokao hoki. (Kim, Charlotte, Jacinta and the MSH Project Team).

Last day: Survey on NZ library career issues including Professional Registration
by Lynley Stone 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

If you have been meaning to fill in this survey but haven't got around to it yet, please do so - I am extending access for an extra day and will take it down tomorrow evening (Wednesday 20 June). I would be happy to receive your thoughts and comments on the final section via email right up to the end of June. Thank you to everybody who has replied so far. The response has been hugely generous and the survey has gathered a wide range of really useful information. *** There are THREE ways to get to the survey: 1. The original survey using SurveyGizmo software, which has worked well for most people: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/944144/LIANZA-Careers-Survey 2. The survey on different software (Google Docs). This alternative version was set up because a small number of people had problems with the Survey Gizmo site. This is a shortened URL for convenience: http://bit.ly/M9PjRP If that doesn't work, try the third option: 3. The full file path to the survey on Google Docs. This is long, and so if you are copying and pasting it into a browser remember to copy the whole link : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFZ6SjN5MFk1ZXpyUGFiMDB tY3JNSFE6MQ Below is the original message I sent about the survey: SURVEY ON NEW ZEALAND LIBRARY CAREER ISSUES INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION We'd love to have your input about your experience, attitudes and ideas around career development, and would be very grateful if you could spend 15-30 minutes on the attached survey. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/944144/LIANZA-Careers-Survey This survey will run for two weeks, and will close on Tuesday 19 June 2012. This survey is aimed at people who currently work, or who have worked, in libraries at any level, from volunteer library assistant right through to senior management. Specific issues that are covered in the survey include: * What techniques have you used to progress your career in libraries? * What is your attitude to continuing professional development and LIANZA Professional Registration? * How do you keep up to date with issues relating to your job? * Do you have any advice for people who want to work in your sector? In July I will be presenting a series of workshops on career development for librarians at all stages of their careers, and have developed this survey to help understand a range of related topics. The results will be used in the preparation of the workshops, and will also be used by LIANZA to help develop the Professional Registration process and to understand how to support librarians more effectively. Please note that no question requires an answer, so you can fill in as little or as much of the survey as you wish. If you have any questions about this survey, please contact me at lynley(a)informationworkshop.com or Alli Smith at alli(a)lianza.org.nz Lynley Stone The Information Workshop Services for Information Professions MLIS, RLIANZA, ALIANZA 36 Mt Albert Rd Mt Albert Auckland 1025 09 849 8274 027 290 2843 www.informationworkshop.com

RDA Update
by Chris Rae Todd 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

Resource Description & Access (RDA) Update from the National Library Those of you who attended the Te Puna & EPIC - a conversation roadshows will be familiar with this information and the cataloguing presentation will soon be available through the DescribeNZ wiki. http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/>. However we wanted to provide this update to share the information with as many of you as possible. RDA Implementation The National Library will implement RDA for its own cataloguing records no earlier than 31 March 2013. Our actual implementation date has not yet been finalised, but it is likely to be late April or some time in May 2013. We will let you know as soon as we have the date. RDA activities A group of cataloguers are currently working through the Library of Congress list of core elements for RDA. This list is available on the Library of Congress page for RDA training materials http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/. RDA guidelines include a large number of options and alternatives so, for each of these core elements, we are evaluating any options and choosing those that we will follow at the National Library. As part of this work we are also taking into account any Library of Congress Policy Statements for these guidelines. We are starting with the elements that apply to text-based monographs and we will expand into other formats including serials, sound and video recordings, and maps. This work will result in cataloguing policies for the National Library. We will share this information via the DescribeNZ wiki http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/> to help New Zealand libraries and staff with their own transition to RDA. RDA and authority records The National Library contributes authority records to the Library of Congress/Name Authority Cooperative Program (LC/NACO) Authority File. National Library cataloguers who contribute authority records to the LC/NACO file may be trained in using RDA in authority records prior to 31 March 2013 in line with other international contributors. There is an expectation that once training is complete all newly-established authority records will follow RDA. RDA Training This is clearly a major concern for all of us and the National Library is committed to supporting the provision of training in RDA for New Zealand libraries. The RDA training and needs survey (New Zealand) conducted in May 2010 showed the need for RDA training for a variety of library staff, not just cataloguers. This survey also highlighted a strong preference for face-to-face training with online training as a supplement to support that face-to-face training. It is the National Library's preference that RDA training in New Zealand is provided by professional trainers and we will be working towards this end. If this proves insufficient for New Zealand's needs, the Library is committed to finding other solutions. National Library has been invited to send a representative to the National Library of Australia train-the-trainer course for their state libraries and external Australian trainers. Details and dates for this are not yet available. CatSIG is sponsoring a New Zealand visit by Barbara Tillett from the Library of Congress. Barbara is the current chair of the Joint Steering Committee for Development of RDA. She will participate in three seminars for cataloguers in September in Auckland, Palmerston North and Dunedin. While these seminars will not be RDA training courses, they will be an opportunity to hear about the pre-implementation work being done at the Library of Congress and will provide context around RDA as a standard. More information will be made available through the CatSIG list and DescribeNZ wiki. For those of you wanting to get a head start on RDA there is a lot of training material already freely available from Library of Congress, National Library of Australia and others. This includes webcasts, training videos, PowerPoint presentations and exercises. We will keep the Describe NZ wiki up to date with resources that may be useful to New Zealand libraries. Library of Congress RDA information is available at http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/ RDA presentations are also available from the Joint Steering Committee website at http://www.rda-jsc.org/rdapresentations.html and the Australian Committee on Cataloguing also has information on RDA at http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/rda.html Other activities I am putting together a paper on the implications of RDA implementation for Te Puna Services. This will include * The impact of RDA on National Union Catalogue (NUC) standards * Technical issues around importing records into the NUC from other databases * How we manage AACR2 and RDA records in our NUC. Te Puna Services are also planning to set up a meeting with library system vendors at this year's LIANZA conference to discuss the implications of RDA for record exchange and OPAC displays. I am also attending the American Library Association annual conference later this month. This is an opportunity to find out a lot more about implementation issues from those libraries that have been directly involved in RDA development and testing. If you have any specific questions or comments about RDA please contact me directly. I may not be able to provide answers to all questions at this stage, but I may be able to pass things on to others, or help in some other way.

New Link: Survey on NZ library career issues including Professional Registration
by Lynley Stone 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

When I posted the link to this survey on Tuesday, staff of Auckland City and a few other individuals told me that they could not get past the second page of the survey. I have created another version of the survey in a simpler software, and this morning it has been tested by an Auckland City staff member who says it will work on their Internet Explorer browser. I apologise for this unexpected glitch, and for having to re-post about the survey as a result of it. Thank you to everyone who has responded already, and please note it is open until 19 June, so there is plenty of time. There are now THREE ways to get to the survey: 1. The original survey which has worked well for most people: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/944144/LIANZA-Careers-Survey 2. The survey on new software. This is a short URL that I hope will work for Auckland City and others who experienced problems with the original link: http://bit.ly/M9PjRP If that doesn't work, try the third option: 3.

FW: Te Puna opinions sought
by Charlotte Stretton 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Forwarded on behalf of Ruth Miller - apologies for cross-posting Cataloguers - please note that although this email is addressed to your manager, it includes a survey for you too. From: Ruth Miller Sent: Monday, 23 April 2012 11:34 a.m. To: Ruth Miller Subject: Te Puna opinions sought Good morning library managers Last year the National Library held a two-day forum where we were fortunate to be able to seek and receive your views about our services to you. The continuing value of this annual survey is the year-on-year measurements of user opinions about Te Puna services, so we are again hoping for a very wide response to the survey. We would appreciate it if you could forward this message to all Te Puna practitioners/users within your organisation and ask them to respond to the appropriate questionnaire. Your library is most welcome to return more than one response, for instance we would expect that we would get several managers to respond from a large library. We are equally happy for one person to return multiple surveys if their work straddles two (or more) areas of responsibility, e.g. cataloguing AND information/ reference. If you are a sole-charge manager, or a manager with very few staff, you may want to answer the questionnaire/s that deal with activities where you have most interaction with Te Puna. We realise that responding to a survey takes time out of a busy day, but we'd really like to hear from you, since we use the results both to improve our service and to focus our outward communications around areas of your concern and interest. We also provide individual feedback on particular areas of concern if the respondent makes his/her name available. This year we ask: * If you are a library manager please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.net//s/tepunamanagers2012 * If you use Te Puna as a cataloguer please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.net/s/tepunacataloguers2012 * If you use Te Puna as a information/reference specialist please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.net/s/tepunareference2012 * If you use Te Puna as a interloan librarian please go to: http://www.surveymonkey.net/s/tepunainterloan2012 Please respond by close of business Monday 7 May 2012 Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3089 mobile 021 540 978 email: Ruth.Miller(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:Ruth.Miller@dia.govt.nz> ==== CAUTION: This email message and any attachments contain information that may be confidential and may be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.

Dear Colleagues, The National Library of Australia, along with the Library of Congress, British Library, Library & Archives Canada, U.S. National Agricultural Library, and U.S. National Library of Medicine have agreed to implement RDA in the first quarter of 2013. During the past year, Libraries Australia has undertaken a major project to identify and specify all of the system changes required to support RDA. In addition to support for the new MARC 21 fields, changes will be required in record matching and merging, indexes, record displays, and cataloguing templates. We are currently testing an update to the Libraries Australia Cataloguing system (CBS) configuration that contains the RDA-related MARC21 changes (including display and indexing of the data elements) and expect to implement it by the middle of the year. This will allow RDA records to be added to Libraries Australia. There have been a small number of RDA records, created during the U.S. testing, that have already been added to Libraries Australia. Currently the RDA fields (e.g. 33X fields) aren't supported in LA and have been deleted when the records are added to LA. Once we have implemented the RDA MARC fields, we plan to re-insert these fields in the affected records. Later in the year we will implement system changes to support the matching and merging of RDA records. We are investigating what we can reasonably do to convert existing AACR2 data elements to RDA. In many cases this is not possible as there isn't a direct one-to-one correlation between AACR2 and RDA data elements. An example of a change that we can make is to convert the Uniform Title headings for the Bible to the new RDA form. Prior to the RDA implementation date, Libraries Australia policy is that cataloguers should use existing ANBD records without making changes that convert AACR2 records to RDA or vice versa. This recognizes that over the coming months libraries will be at different stages of RDA implementation and aims to balance the interests of all. After the implementation date, RDA will be the Libraries Australia standard for new records and AACR2 records can be upgraded to RDA if the cataloguer considers this useful. The Libraries Australia minimum record standard will also be amended to reflect RDA. More detailed advice regarding cataloguing policy changes will be provided well in advance of the RDA implementation date. Regards, Rob Rob Walls | Director, Database Services | National Library of Australia p: +61 2 6262 1657 | f: +61 2 6273 1180 | e: rwalls(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:rwalls@nla.gov.au>

FW: [rdaaust] Update to the RDA Toolkit
by Chris Rae Todd 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 From: rdaaust-request(a)nla.gov.au [mailto:rdaaust-request@nla.gov.au] On Behalf Of Catherine Argus Sent: Tuesday, 10 April 2012 5:19 p.m. To: rdaaust-l Subject: [rdaaust] Update to the RDA Toolkit An update to the RDA Toolkit will be rolled out on Tuesday, April 10 -- this update is primarily for RDA and Library of Congress Policy Statements (LCPS) content, but there will also be a few functionality changes as well. http://www.rdatoolkit.org/content/369 RDA content: This is the first major update to RDA content. Over 140 instructions will be changed-- some changes are the result of the traditional proposal method, but there are also 65 changes from the JSC's new "Fast Track" change process. Most of the changes that are the result of the proposal process will be marked in the RDA Toolkit with an Update History icon. The Fast Track changes, which by their nature are for addressing more minor issues, will not be marked with icons. Particularly noteworthy changes include: --new optional addition for supplying the name of a higher jurisdiction as part of a local place of production, publication, distribution, and manufacture (cataloger judgment) --revised instructions on the omission of initial articles in preferred titles, the names of certain persons, and corporate bodies (The article omission is now an alternative rather than the primary instruction) --revised instructions to remove "field of activity" as an element that can be added to an authorized access point for a person (field of activity can still be recorded in MARC field 372) LCPS content: The April 10 release will also contain 36 LCPS updates, including 10 new LCPSs. Some changes are due to new or revised RDA instructions. For example, instructions for treating some persons and families as creators of serials will be deleted from the LCPS because the instruction has been added to RDA. The next update to the RDA Toolkit is currently scheduled for May 8, 2012.

Resending Library database systems
by Jessie Moir 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Here is Marcel's email address: stephmarcel(a)slingshot.co.nz Hi, I am looking at setting up a private library to be accessible to the general public online. It will be specifically built around books of Christian spirituality. Does anyone have any advice on what computer cataloguing system would best suit? Initially it would start with around 5000 books but grow to an indeterminable number. Problems at this stage: funding - it will be coming out of my limited bank account until benefactors choose to come forward and help. Another related question is: do these systems have a one-off payment or regular fees? If anyone is able to enlighten me I sure would appreciate it. Thanks, Marcel Bormans Northland ##################################################################################### Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

[Reminder and thanks] Survey: Catalogues' use/non use of social media [VUW MIS research project]
by Bridgit Siddall 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

Apologies for cross-posting ----------------------------------------------------------- Thank you to all who have completed my survey on the use/non use of social media by cataloguers, I’m very grateful to everyone who took the time to answer the questions. If there is anyone who would still like to participate the link below will take you to the survey which will remain open till the end of this week. I'm interested in cataloguers' use and non use of social media so if you don't use wikis/forums/blogs/electronic mailing lists as an aid to your cataloguing work your responses are also very valuable. *Please note: If you’ve answered “No” to the question: "Does your organisation provide any social media tools to enable staff to share information across the organisation?" and gotten an error message just remove the “eg” text from below the “Yes” option and the survey will move you forward.* ----------------------------------------------------------- My name is Bridgit Siddall and I am a Masters of Information Studies student at Victoria University of Wellington. As part of this degree I am undertaking the INFO 580 research project. The project I am undertaking focuses on the use of specific social media, specifically blogs, wikis, forums, and electronic mailing lists by cataloguers as a means of seeking answers to/discussion about cataloguing-specific questions and issues. The data collected from this survey will be used to examine the frequency with which social media are used by cataloguers to seek out answers to cataloguing-specific questions and problems. It is my hope that the project will provide some insight into whether social media play a role in cataloguers' day-to-day functioning at work. Your participation in this survey would be much appreciated. Data collection involves an online survey that should take no more than 10-15 minutes to fill out. Your responses will be anonymous and no personal information is sought in the survey. Your response to the questionnaire will be taken as consent that the data you have supplied can be used in the final report. The final report will contain aggregated data and care will be taken that no information that might identify a particular respondent appears in that report. No other person besides me and my supervisor, Dr Chern Li Liew, will see the spreadsheet containing responses to the questionnaire. The report will be submitted for marking to the School of Information Management and deposited in the University Library. The report may also be put forward for publication or presented at a professional conference. Questionnaires will be destroyed two years after the end of the project. If you have any questions or would like to receive further information about the project, please contact me at siddalbrid(a)myvuw.ac.nz or my supervisor, Dr Chern Li Liew at ChernLi.Liew(a)vuw.ac.nz at the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington. Bridgit Siddall If you wish to participate in the survey please follow this link: http://vuw.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1NtQUrOdQuMUTJO *Please note: If you answer “No” to the question: "Does your organisation provide any social media tools to enable staff to share information across the organisation?" and gotten an error message just remove the “eg” text from the “Yes” option and the survey will move you forward.*

Maori Subject Headings page on Describe NZ
by Charlotte Stretton 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi everyone, We have added a page on Describe NZ for Nga Upoko Tukutuku/Maori Subject Headings<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/47666034/Maori%20Subject%20Head…> which we hope will be a useful reference to cataloguers looking for the site or related information. Please note the request for feedback: we're developing some training in the use of the headings and would like to hear if there's anything in particular you would like us to make sure we cover. Feedback can be sent to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> Additionally, a question was asked at the CatSIG AGM about the availability of older records with Maori Subject Headings added retrospectively.

RDA at ALA 2011
by Sarah Knox 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

From: Chris Rae Todd Sent: Monday, 22 August 2011 1:06 p.m. To: 'catsig(a)mcs.vuw.ac.nz' Subject: RDA at ALA 2011 I was very fortunate to be able to attend the American Library Association's annual conference in New Orleans this June. RDA featured prominently in the programme, to such an extent that I was unable to attend all the RDA-related sessions because of clashes. I did attend a two-day pre-conference workshop on the application of RDA to a range of library resources. This was a real dive into the detail of RDA as it can be applied using the MARC21 format in our current library systems. The conference proper included an RDA update forum where the US national libraries' decision to postpone implementation of RDA until at least 2013 was explained and discussed. Another noteworthy topic at the conference was linked data. I counted 10 sessions that included mention of linked data and some delegates were calling this "the linked data ALA". Programme clashes limited the number of sessions I was able to attend, but I have followed up some of the presentations in my conference report. We are very fortunate that one of the key speakers on linked data at ALA, Karen Coyle, is a keynote speaker at this year's LIANZA conference. My third area of interest was subject access and I attended a number of presentations that were part of a two-day meeting of the Subject Analysis Committee of the ALCTS (Association for Library Collections & Technical Services). My main interest here was to find out more about the new genre/form headings being developed by the Library of Congress. The specific areas of interest for the National Library are headings for literature and music.

RDA Implementation Decision
by Kim Gutchlag 15 Jun '11

15 Jun '11

Apologies for cross-posting The CEOs of the three US national libraries, LC, NAL, and NLM, have recommended that RDA be implemented no sooner than January 2013, subject to the completion of a number of tasks. The executive summary of the report is available at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/cataloging/RDA_report_executive_summary.pdf The cover statement by the executives of LC, NAL, and NLM included is also available as a PDF file at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/cataloging/RDA_Executives_statement.pdf Essentially the work to be done would ensure that it is possible to fully realise the benefits of RDA from the time of implementation. This includes making progress towards a replacement for MARC and developing prototypes of input and discovery systems that use the RDA element set. Other tasks are set out in the executive summary linked above. Chris Todd is hoping to attend ALA (volcanic ash clouds permitting), where extensive discussion of RDA is already part of the programme. Chris will be able to update the lists on her return.

FW: Announcing the LC/NAL/NLM RDA Implementation decision
by Ksenija Obradovic 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

From: Resource Description and Access / Resource Description and Access [mailto:RDA-L@LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA] On Behalf Of Reser, Dave Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 7:23 AM To: RDA-L(a)LISTSERV.LAC-BAC.GC.CA Subject: [RDA-L] Announcing the LC/NAL/NLM RDA Implementation decision (Apologies for cross posting) The Library of Congress, the National Agricultural Library, and the National Library of Medicine are pleased to issue a statement from the Executives of the three libraries regarding the Report and Recommendations of the U.S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee on the implementation of RDA-Resource Description & Access. This statement and the Executive Summary of the Committee's Report and Recommendations are being issued to allow interested parties sufficient time to review prior to the upcoming Annual Conference of the American Library Association in New Orleans, June 23 -28. The full Report and Recommendations will be available prior the ALA Annual Conference on the Testing Resource Description and Access Home Page: http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/ An executive summary of the report is available now at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/cataloging/RDA_report_executive_summary.pdf The cover statement by the executives of LC, NAL, and NLM included below is also available as a PDF file at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/cataloging/RDA_Executives_statement.pdf Response of the Library of Congress, the National Agricultural Library, and the National Library of Medicine to the RDA Test Coordinating Committee June 13, 2011 Introduction When the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control issued its report, On the Record, on January 9, 2008, it introduced the findings with these observations: The future of bibliographic control will be collaborative, decentralized, international in scope, and Web-based. Its realization will occur in cooperation with the private sector and with the active collaboration of library users. Data will be gathered from multiple sources; change will happen quickly; and bibliographic control will be dynamic, not static. The underlying technology that makes the future possible and necessary--the World Wide Web--is now almost two decades old. Libraries must continue the transition to this future without delay in order to retain their significance as information providers. Most of the recommendations in the report call for changes in the current bibliographic control system that will move libraries toward this desirable future. One recommendation--3.2.5--was notable in that it called for a suspension of work underway on RDA. The Working Group suggested that further development work on Resource Description and Access (RDA) be suspended until a business case had been articulated, benefits demonstrated, and there had been better testing of FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) as it relates to RDA. Work on RDA had been underway for several years, so a decision to suspend it could not be made lightly. In March, Deanna Marcum, Associate Librarian for Library Services at the Library of Congress, who had commissioned the Working Group, convened her counterparts from the National Agricultural Library and the National Library of Medicine to discuss the entire report, but specifically asked for collaboration on the response to the recommendation on RDA (3.2.5). After careful deliberation the three national library executives issued a joint statement on RDA. The three principals from the three national libraries--Deanna Marcum, Sheldon Kotzin, and Peter Young--accorded special consideration to RDA, as it was the only international standard that had been developed, and all agreed that whatever else one might think about the future of bibliographic control, it would surely be an international endeavor. They noted "RDA is an important international initiative that has been underway and is one that requires continued collaboration with our international partners who have joined with the United States in a global initiative to update bibliographic practices to make library resources more accessible and useful to users." The Library of Congress, the National Library of Medicine, and the National Agricultural Library concluded that a thorough and rigorous test of RDA was needed to answer questions about whether or not it should be further developed and implemented. The three institutions pledged to design jointly the test of the tool, to involve a broad spectrum of the user community in carrying out the test, and to disseminate the results of the test widely. The test was meant to include an articulation of the business case and a cost analysis for retraining staff and re-engineering cataloging processes necessitated by a new code. They also agreed to an optimistic resolution that if there were a decision to implement RDA, implementation would not occur before the end of 2009. They did not fully appreciate how involved the development of a reliable test methodology would be, and the unavoidable delays that would occur in issuing RDA. The RDA Test The three libraries named staff to work on the test methodology, to carry out the test, and to make recommendations to the agencies' executives based on the results. Perhaps the most important decision was that the three agreed that they would make a joint decision whether or not to adopt RDA. On June 9, 2008, the members of the U. S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee met for the first time. The dedication of the members of the group cannot be adequately described (see below for " List of U.S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee Members"). They met regularly--sometimes weekly--to develop all of the criteria that would be used to make a final recommendation. They enlisted twenty-six partners (including the three national libraries) that represented many types and sizes of libraries as well as archives, book vendors, systems developers, library schools, and consortia. They carried out the test and analyzed the results over a period of several months. Recommendation The most challenging task was to turn the test data into a single recommendation for the three national libraries. There was no clear, easy answer. RDA presents complicated issues for all libraries. In the final analysis, the RDA Test Coordinating Committee recommended that the national libraries adopt RDA with certain conditions and that implementation will not occur before January 1, 2013. Statement from the Executives of the Three National Libraries Simon Liu (NAL), Sheldon Kotzin (NLM), and Deanna Marcum met on May 24, 2011 to review the report and to reach agreement on a response. They agreed on the great importance of the work the Coordinating Committee had accomplished, and they expressed deep appreciation for the investment each member made to the overall effort. The official statement is: "We endorse the report, with the conditions articulated by the committee. Even though there are many in the library community who would like to see a single "yes" or "no" response to the question should we implement RDA, the reality is that any standard is complicated and will take time to develop. We also recognize that the library world cannot operate in a vacuum. The entire bibliographic framework will have to change along the lines recommended in the report of the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control. The implementation of RDA is one important piece, but there are many others that must be dealt with simultaneously. We especially note the need to address the question of the MARC standard, suggested by many of the participants in the RDA test. As part of addressing the conditions identified, LC will have a small number of staff members who participated in the test resume applying RDA in the interim. This will allow LC to prepare for training, documentation, and other preparatory tasks related to the further development and implementation of RDA. The conditions identified by the Test Coordinating Committee must be addressed immediately, and we believe that the Committee should continue in an oversight role to ensure that the conditions are met. We have discussed the Committee's recommendations with the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control. We will continue to work closely with the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control to think about the overall direction of bibliographic control and the changes that are necessary to assure that libraries are in the best position to deliver twenty-first century services to users. We believe that the long-term benefits of adopting RDA will be worth the short-term anxieties and costs. The Test Coordinating Committee quite rightly noted the economic and organizational realities that cause every librarian to ask if this is the time to make a dramatic change in cataloging. Our collective answer is that libraries must create linkages to all other information resources in this Web environment. We must begin now. Indefinite delay in implementation simply means a delay in our effective relationships with the broader information community." List of U.S. RDA Test Coordinating Committee Members: Committee Co-chairs: Christopher Cole, National Agricultural Library, Jennifer Marill, National Library of Medicine (January 2011--), Diane Boehr, National Library of Medicine (Acting: June 2010-December 2010), Dianne McCutcheon, National Library of Medicine (2008-May 2010), Beacher Wiggins, Library of Congress; Committee Members: Barbara Bushman, National Library of Medicine, Michael Esman, National Agricultural Library, Judith Kuhagen, Library of Congress (December 2010--), Susan R.

FW: Statement from the CEOs of the US national libraries on the implementation of RDA
by Ksenija Obradovic 14 Jun '11

14 Jun '11

From: rdaaust-request(a)nla.gov.au [mailto:rdaaust-request@nla.gov.au] On Behalf Of NLA RDA Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2011 10:50 AM To: rdaaust-l Subject: [rdaaust] Statement from the CEOs of the US national libraries on the implementation of RDA An executive summary of the report of the RDA testing conducted by US libraries has been made available, along with a statement from the CEOs of the three US national libraries. The full report will be released sometime in the next week. The key recommendation coming out of the testing is that RDA be adopted with certain conditions and that implementation not occur before January 2013. The conditions include: * Re-write the RDA instructions in clear, unambiguous, plain English * Improve the structure of the RDA Toolkit * Demonstrate credible progress towards a replacement for MARC * Solicit demonstrations of prototype input and discovery systems that use the RDA element set While yet another delay is frustrating, it was interesting to note the following in the CEOs statement; "We believe that the long-term benefits of adopting RDA will be worth the short-term anxieties and costs. The Test Coordinating Committee quite rightly noted the economic and organizational realities that cause every librarian to ask if this is the time to make a dramatic change in cataloging. Our collective answer is that libraries must create linkages to all other information resources in this Web environment. We must begin now.

RDA Records and the NUC
by Jessie Moir 31 May '11

31 May '11

Some eagle-eyed cataloguers may have noticed that the NUC now contains a few RDA records. These records were created in OCLC's WorldCat during the US National Libraries testing of RDA and have been downloaded to the NUC as part of standard cataloguing activities. While RDA is still in its pre-implementation phase the National Library is not planning any changes to these records. The reasons for this are: 1. There are relatively few RDA records in the NUC at present and there is no reason to believe that they will cause problems for New Zealand libraries 2. International decisions around RDA implementation are imminent and making changes to records at this stage could mean that other work would be needed later. The records are easily identifiable should they need to be altered. If RDA records are an issue in your local system then please change the records in your system only.

The National Library is in the early stages of planning a two-day Te Puna Libraries’ Forum. The purpose of these days is threefold: 1. You may be aware that the National Library, in conjunction with a range of libraries around the country, has undertaken work that looked at ways libraries can gain maximum value from their Te Puna subscription. Library leaders are invited to workshop the findings on 1 April. 2. We have invited speakers who will be able to talk about ‘library matters’ from an international perspective * Debbie Campbell who will talk about "Libraries Australia & Trove future plans" * A speaker from OCLC (yet to be confirmed) 1. The first day will be devoted to the main users of Te Puna services: cataloguers and interloan librarians. To help us make this day as useful as possible we would like you to vote (http://www.natlib.govt.nz/surveys/shaping-future-te-puna-services ) for the most important items you’d like to see on the programme. We'd like to hear from you before close-of-business Thursday 16 December.

FW: [NGC4LIB] Guidelines for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books

On behalf of Deborah Fritz Ksenija -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Fritz [mailto:deborah@marcofquality.com] Sent: Thursday, 2 December 2010 3:41 a.m. To: Ksenija Obradovic Subject: FW: [NGC4LIB] Guidelines for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books Hi Ksenija, This is very interesting and important information, and interesting that it comes from a library student, in Brazil, reminding us about how global our cataloging world has become. Could you share this link with the CatSIG list for me? It would be very good if everyone who gets MARC records from vendors for e-resources could forward this link to those vendors, to re-inforce the fact that every different version/format of a resource requires its own unique ISBN. This could also be a good opportunity to remind all of the creators of MARC records for e-books, e.g., Serials Solutions, that they must NOT enter the ISBNs for print resources as 'valid' (020$a) in the separate records that they create for e-resources. Also of interest on the linked page is the ISBN-13 converter, very cool: http://isbn-international.org/ia/isbncvt I hope all is well with you.

The 26 participating institutions have completed over 55% of the common set records and created more than 2,700 additional RDA bibliographic records. Beginning in January 2011, the US RDA Test Coordinating Committee will analyze the test results and prepare a report with recommendations for their respective senior managers at the Library of Congress (LC), the National Agricultural Library (NAL), and the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The goal is to complete the recommendation phase in March 2011. The senior managers will issue a public report by June 2011. Background on the RDA Implementation Test What is being tested and why? RDA: Resource Description and Access is the content standard for cataloging superseding the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed. In 2008, the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control recommended to the Joint Steering Committee that further new developmental work on RDA be suspended. That did not occur and consequently LC, NAL, and NLM jointly determined that testing based on objective facts was an essential prerequisite to a decision about adopting RDA. LC, NAL, NLM, and 23 partnering institutions are the formal, official test participants. Further details are available at (http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/)<http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/>. What questions are we answering? The test has been designed to answer the following sorts of questions: * Does RDA meet its announced goals? * What is user reaction to the records? * What is the economic impact? o What is the impact on library operations? o What are the direct costs? o What are the training impact and costs? What are the possible decisions? There are four possible outcomes: * Do not implement RDA * Postpone implementation until certain changes are made * Implement RDA * Implement RDA with specific recommended changes or policy decisions for US libraries I'm not a formal participant how can I share my opinions and any RDA records created? The US RDA Test Coordinating Committee has developed an online survey to gather information from informal testers and others who are not part of the testing process.

RDA update November 2010
by Chris Todd 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Dear Cataloguers, There has been a flurry of news and activity around RDA recently and here is a summary for you. This will also be posted on the DescribeNZ wiki. 1. Implementation timeline The implementation timeline for RDA has been extended as a result of the US National Libraries test process. The report of the test will be released late in June 2011. LC will be announcing their implementation decision in late June 2011 and the other partner libraries in the RDA development (National Library of Australia, the British Library and Libraries and Archives Canada) will announce their decisions sometime between July and September 2011. This means that widespread implementation is unlikely until around the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2012. 2. NLNZ and RDA As a result of the extension of this timeline the NLNZ cataloguers will be changing our approach to RDA. We will take a break from our examination of RDA core elements and creation of practice records during December and January. We will be picking up the work on core elements some time in February and will continue to monitor reports and news about RDA. 3. Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) - The 2010 ACOC seminar was held in Canberra on October 21st and the presentations are now available on the ACOC website at http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/papers2010.html - ACOC RDA page. The ACOC website also includes an updated page on RDA with a good range of resources to look at. http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/rda.html 4. IAML New Zealand seminar The International Association of Music Librarians New Zealand seminar was held in Auckland on November 4-5. Charlotte Stretton and Chris Todd developed a presentation giving an overview of RDA and some of its impact on music cataloguing. The slides for this presentation will be available shortly on the RDA page of the DescribeNZ wiki http://www.describe.org.nz/ 5. RDA Webinars The most recent webinar was held on November 10th: RDA Toolkit - what's new since August http://www.rdatoolkit.org/Webinar/2010Nov (10th November) Full recording available via the website link.

RDA authority records
by Judith Keats 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

Dear colleagues, The following announcement has been posted to Describe NZ, the wiki for New Zealand cataloguers and metadata professionals at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/32141727/RDA-Authorities-page We are now seeing RDA test authority records on our databases. These are being created as part of the RDA test for headings which are used in bibliographic records created following RDA guidelines and Library of Congress policy statements. The RDA test is being undertaken by a relatively small number of agencies (less than 30) and it was decided that the test would not be a proper one if it was not conducted in a live database and the set of records were not fully RDA. The RDA authority records have RDA in the 040 field to show that they are part of the test. They may also contain some of the new MARC fields but they do not otherwise indicate that they are RDA test authority records. You may notice that some AACR2 authority records have a 7XX field with 4 in the second indicator showing the RDA form of the name heading. Some RDA headings are the same as the AACR2 one but others are not. For an example of an RDA heading which is different, see the AACR2 authority record for King, M.G. (National Union Catalogue authority number 1065571), which includes a 700 1 4 for King, M.G. (Michael G.). This RDA heading has been created following RDA and the LC policy statement 9.19.1.4. which states that the LC practice for the optional addition is to add a fuller form of name even if it is not needed to distinguish between access points. You may also find that a new RDA authority record for a name/title heading will use the RDA form of the name heading in that authority record. For example, there is now an RDA name/title authority record for Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D. Correspondence (National Union Catalogue authority number 8463612). The existing AACR2 form of name heading is Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, ca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D. ((National Union Catalogue authority number 286941). In the case of corporate body name headings, there may be a new RDA authority for a subordinate body and the RDA form of the parent body name heading is different from the AACR2 form of heading. For example, an RDA authority record has been created for North Dakota. Department of Human Services. Rehabilitation Consulting & Services (National Union Catalogue authority number 8457632). The AACR2 form of heading for the parent body is North Dakota. Dept. of Human Services (National Union Catalogue authority number 989962). The National Library of New Zealand is not part of the RDA test and has not as yet used any of these new RDA authorised headings in bibliographic records. However we have decided that we will follow all NACO authority records whether they have been created following AACR2 or RDA on the grounds that this seems to be the option that creates the least confusion for library users. By taking this decision, we are remaining consistent in our use of authority records for headings in bibliographic records.

21 Oct '10

The CatSIG AGM will be held at the LIANZA conference on Monday 29th November 2010, 12.15-1.45 pm (Location to be advised) The agenda will be distributed to all CatSIG members closer to the time. As at previous conferences the CatSIG AGM is a chance to socialise over lunch with fellow cataloguers and meet the committee. We will be also asking for expressions of interest from people who would like to join the committee. The meeting will be followed by cataloguers from the National Library sharing their experiences of learning RDA - "DIY RDA@NLNZ." Everyone is welcome. CatSIG membership is not necessary; and you do not need to be registered for the conference (however, if not registered, you may not attend other conference sessions, social events or the exhibition area).
