FW: Good Afternoon
by Jessie Moir 23 May '16

23 May '16

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

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

05 May '16

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

Good morning New Zealand Cataloguers, I thought you might find this interesting.

This has been a major process as we have tried to take into consideration a number of sources of comment on the 1.0 vocabulary: the many community comments over the last 2 years on the BIBFRAME listserv, advice from invited experts, issues resulting from our own pilot with the 1.0 vocabulary, and comments received on GitHub where conversion programs for MARC to BIBRAME were posted. We appreciate all those who took the time to review and experiment and comment on the 1.0 vocabulary. As part of converting BIBFRAME to vocabulary 2.0 we have made revisions to the web site. Documents that do not pertain to 2.0 were archived or marked as 1.0 on the site and those that are new or continue to pertain were created and posted or revised, respectively. The 2.0 proposals that were published for comment last year have been revised per comments and turned into “specs” for 2.0 <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/index.html>. They are useful to answer questions about the vocabulary that a straight reading will bring up. Also the papers on RDF Conventions <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/bibframe2-rdf-conventions.html> and on Guidelines <https://www.loc.gov/bibframe/docs/bibframe2-rdf-conventions.html> for expressing data in RDF are important for understanding the properties and classes incorporated in the vocabulary. The Library is moving forward toward revising tools and conversions for 2.0 with the prospect of experimenting with it in a new pilot late in the year. Comments and corrections are welcome! *********************************** Sally H.

This workshop gives a brief overview of Linked Data and describes the BIBFRAME Linked Data model and how it compares to other efforts to model bibliographic data, such as FRBR. It also provides an overview of the BIBFRAME vocabulary, which is used to describe bibliographic resources as Linked Data compatible statements. It reviews the development of BIBFRAME to date, looking at tools, such as the MARC to BIBFRAME transformation tool and the BIBFRAME Editor and current experimentation.

Future of Libraries
by Tamsyn Bayliss 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

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

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

15 Feb '16

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

CatSIG lunchtime session on Bibframe with Kevin Ford
by Joanne Rowan 02 Feb '16

02 Feb '16

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

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

27 Jan '16

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