by Kim Gutchlag 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Tēnā koe ā ki ā koutou I am writing this email to you in my capacity as the Chair of the Governance Group for the Targeted Review of Information Management and Services qualifications. This review is part of the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) review of all qualifications at levels 1-6 (i.e., up to but not including bachelors’ degrees). The aim of this NZQA review is to reduce any duplication of qualifications and ensure the system is easy to understand, and also to ensure the qualifications meet the needs of the relevant sector. Information and library studies qualifications, including those in records, archives and information management, are part of this review. Eight qualifications have been drafted by industry sector representatives, based on a needs analysis. We are seeking your feedback on these draft qualifications. It is important that you provide feedback as the new qualifications will supersede existing qualifications. In addition, they will be national qualifications and any provider accredited by NZQA will be able to offer them. Please follow this link<https://imsqualreview.wordpress.com/https://imsqualreview.wordpress.com/htt…> to: · Background information about the process · The proposed qualifications · FAQs · The online survey for your feedback The survey will be open from Friday 4 July to Friday 25th of July. Thank you in anticipation. Hei konā mai i roto i ngā mihi Kim Gutchlag, on behalf of the Governance Group: Amanda Cossham, Greg Morgan, Heather Lamond, Lulu Fordham, Lynley Stone, Miriam Tuohy, Patrick Power, Paula Smith

TQM expressions of interest
by Joanne Rowan 05 May '14

05 May '14

CATSIG is considering another round of TMQ (The Marc of Quality) cataloguing workshops in the second half of 2014. 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. Organisation 3. I/my staff would be interested in attending the following (Please delete the workshops you are not interested in. MARC21 in your library Rudimentary RDA RDA/MARC for Copy Cats RDA Minus MARC 4. If you are responding on behalf of your staff, how many are you expecting to attend? 5. Other workshop that you would like to see in 2014? Thank you for taking the time to respond.

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.

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.

by Janess Stewart 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Dear colleagues The National Library of New Zealand is planning to conduct a 2-day course Original Cataloguing in RDA following the LIANZA Conference. It will be held at the University of Waikato in Hamilton on 24 and 25 October, 2013. Two 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. 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. The course is being provided free but attendees are responsible for their 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 mid October 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 course are limited to a maximum of 15 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 Monday 24 September, 2013.

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.
