RDA Satellite Meeting August 2008
by Chris Todd 16 Sep '08

16 Sep '08

The following message appeared on both the RDA and Autocat listservs in the last few days. "Dear Colleagues: The PowerPoint presentations and speaker notes from the IFLA RDA Satellite Meeting held in conjunction with the 2008 IFLA Conference are now available on the JSC website. You can find them at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/jsc/rda.html#presentations Cordially, Marjorie Marjorie E. Bloss, RDA Project Manager 2827 West Gregory Street Chicago, Illinois 60625 USA 1-773-878-4008 1-773-519-4009 (mobile) Marjorie_Bloss(a)msn.com " I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the satellite meeting and can thoroughly recommend all the presentations. Barbara Tillett's provides an excellent background to the development of RDA and a rather lovely look at British Library catalogue book catalogue records from the perspective of FRBR. Deirdre Kiorgaard's presentation looks more closely at RDA itself, and Anders Cato provides an interesting non-Anglo perspective on RDA. Published formats and costs: A publisher's representative was also at the meeting and there were a number of questions about costs, the possibility of a print version of RDA, and the possibility of other versions for special use (e.g. map or music cataloguing). It was clear that no decisions had been made about any of the issues raised, but once there is a final version of RDA we may get more information about formats and costs. It did seem unlikely that a print version will be available as a first release of RDA. International rules? Another point that I found particularly interesting was the level of interest from the European community. Germany and Sweden seemed keen to adopt RDA as their national cataloguing code and there was also interest from Japan and other countries. RDA looks like becoming an international standard to a greater extent than AACR. MARC. There was relatively little information about MARC - although there has been a discussion paper about RDA and MARC and some decisions were announced at this year's ALA. Library systems: The reactions of system vendors to RDA were not raised at the seminar and it seems likely that the vendors are waiting for a final release of RDA (and probably the MARC changes) before working out the implications of the new rules for their systems. The timeline from the meeting was as follows: Oct. 13 2008 - - RDA Final draft online for review - (doesn't contain full range of workflow and personalisation tools that will come with the final product) Jan 19 2009 - - Review period ends early March 2009 - Final review by Joint Steering Committee 3rd quarter 2009 - RDA release early-mid 2010 -Implementation decisions from LC and other major libraries - Pam Gatenby's presentation includes more information about evaluation plans of national libraries. If anyone wants to follow up with me on any of the points above please feel free to get in touch.

Holdings 852 $2 Code list
by Pamela Treanor 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hallo Cataloguers, Does anyone know where I can find a code list for values to go in the $2 subfield of the 852 field in a holdings record, if I were to use the first indicator "7" e.g. 852 7_ $b CMap $h 830 $2 (Boggs & Lewis) or am I completely on the wrong tack as far as the usage of this goes? Trouble is, there is no value in the first indicator list for Boggs and Lewis. We've been (ouch!) using "1", the Dewey code as the nearest thing.

Cataloguing Advice Needed in Mexico
by kate Innes 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi there, I'm a New Zealand librarian currently living in Mexico City. I recently started working for a company that sells e books and e book software to libraries in Latin America (the Overdrive software that Auckland City Libraries has). Part of my job is to create MARC records for the e books that the company sells via Overdrive. I'm relatively new to cataloguing, and as there are no other librarians here in the company, I'm wondering if someone on this list would be kind enough to help me with a query relating to the cataloguing of e books (more specifically field 533). I've searched the internet but can't find an exact answer to my question. If there is someone out there who has experience in cataloguing e books, and would be willing to help me with a (very brief!) question, (or can advise me who I might approach), I would love to hear from you at kinnes(a)librisite.com. Many thanks and warm regards from Mexico, Kate Innes Librisite de México, S.A. de C.V. Tel. 5272 6806 Email: kinnes(a)librisite.com

LIBRARY BIBS CLEANUP

14 Feb '08

Hi All, We would like to hear from anyone who has had a library database cleanup. We are interested to find out what you did, how you did it and what is your maintenance programme. There about 135,000 bib records on our database created over a period of time. Some records are not quite consistent with the international standards. What we aim to achieve is a high standard of bib records on our database and name and subject authority files consistent with Library of Congress standards. We are currently on Horizon. The cleanup is planned to satisfy immediate requirements and also prepare the database should we need to move the record to a different system in future. We would also like to know if you know of any one who provides for the kind of service we are looking for. We are aware of Library Technologies, Inc (USA) who provide such service. Please e-mail me or give me a phone contact and I will be in touch with you. The contact details are below.

FONZ and SONZ survey
by Dan Dorner 09 Dec '07

09 Dec '07

(Apologies for cross-posting) We are seeking additional participants for a web-based survey relating to current use and past uses of the Functions of New Zealand (FONZ) and/or the Subjects of New Zealand (SONZ) thesauri. Information about access to the survey pages was sent on Thursday (6 Dec.) to individuals who have previously indicated their willingness to participate. If you did not receive the survey's access information last week - and you are using or have used the FONZ and/or SONZ thesauri for any purposes, or have chosen another option instead of FONZ and SONZ - please contact me (dan.dorner(a)vuw.ac.nz <mailto:dan.dorner@vuw.ac.nz> ) and I will arrange for your access to the survey. Or if you know someone else in your organisation (e.g., cataloguers, indexers, portal builders or website managers) with relevant experience with these thesauri please ask them to contact me to obtain the access information. Note that we are undertaking this survey on behalf of the State Services Commission (SSC) and Archives New Zealand to assist them in making informed decisions about the future of FONZ and SONZ given recent changes to the New Zealand Government Portal, newzealand.govt.nz. Our objectives for his survey are: · to identify the current uses being made of FONZ and/or SONZ; · to establish the reasons behind the uses or the non-use of FONZ and/or SONZ; and · to gather suggestions for changes to FONZ and/or SONZ that would enhance current uses or generate new uses of either or both of them. The project is being carried out by a team from the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington consisting of Dr. Dan Dorner (Senior Lecturer), and Mr Alan Gray and Ms Magalie Le Gac (Research Assistants). The results of the survey therefore may also be used for academic publications and conference presentations. We look forward to hearing from you.

by Rachel Collier-Wilson 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Apologies for cross posting New challenges, new opportunities for the right cataloguing librarian The Library Supply Company needs an enthusiastic and highly motivated librarian for a full-time position in our bibliographic services team. You probably know of us because we provide services to public libraries and schools throughout New Zealand. We specialise in the supply of large print and unabridged audio books. We also supply music CDs, DVDs, language learning courses and other audio visual materials. Our clients rely on us increasingly for collection management and cataloguing services ... and that's where you come in. We'd like to hear from you if you have expertise in: * MARC format * AACR2 (level 2) * Non-print materials - music CDs, DVD and multimedia * Cataloguing for New Zealand public library collections You'll be cataloguing a range of formats - especially AV materials - in a variety of databases. You'll also be working with client libraries to help them establish clear cataloguing specifications. We'll be relying on your excellent IT skills, a near-obsessive respect for deadlines and the ability to prioritise and organise work. Familiarity with at least one major Library Management System would be an advantage. The money's highly competitive. The working conditions are great - you'll be part of our small, friendly team in Grey Lynn, Auckland.

OCLC service update
by Janess Stewart 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

The National Library is pleased to advise progress in two areas of OCLC service enhancment to subscribers. * FirstSearch users have reported receiving the Error message: “The number of simultaneous users for this authorization has been exceeded”. National Library confirms that Te Puna subscribing libraries are entitled to unlimited usage of FirstSearch base package. We have contacted OCLC about this and are pleased to let you know that this message will no longer appear on your screens. If you find otherwise please contact us. * The daily data synchcronisation between National Library and OCLC is now well underway. While National Library has received and loaded holdings and records from those libraries choosing to use OCLC Connexion software since 1 July 2007, we were unable to send daily files of records and holdings from Te Puna until the National Union Catalogue was loaded to WorldCat. This work was recently completed, so now irrespective of whether your cataloguing preference is direct to OCLC or direct to Te Puna, a holding and/or record will be reflected on both systems.
