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.

The survey should only take 5-10 minutes to answer and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. The closing date is 1st May 2015.
