by Anoushka McGuire 07 Feb '19

07 Feb '19

Tēnā koutou, The Collection Description team at the National Library of New Zealand is seeking the help of the wider cataloguing community. With the upcoming changes to RDA this is a useful time for us to get feedback on our data from other libraries. We want to understand what the cataloguers throughout New Zealand value and use in the bibliographic records the National Library creates for our national bibliography, Publications New Zealand. If you do use our bibliographic records in your catalogue, we would really appreciate you taking the time to answer our survey. The survey should take between ten and fifteen minutes and responses from more than one cataloguer at your institution are welcomed. Please take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5MG5X9C The survey will close at 5 P.M. Friday 22 February 2018. Ngā mihi nui, Anoushka McGuire on behalf of Collection Description Anoushka McGuire | Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4524 | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs

The DescribeNZ moderators group have been working hard on updating the DescribeNZ site last year so it meets the current needs to New Zealand cataloguers. With the introduction of the IFLA Library Reference Model and the start of the 3R project this seemed like a good time to refresh the content on the site. http://describe.org.nz <http://describe.org.nz%20> We have added a search box and streamlined the navigation to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. We would love to hear from you if you think there is some content that would be useful to other cataloguers, especially those new to the profession, that could be added to the site. We are also interested in including more Cataloguing policies from other New Zealand libraries. If you would like to share your cataloguing policy please send a copy through. For feedback and sharing cataloguing policies please email: catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> Regards Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor c/o Metadata 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>

We would like to invite those individuals currently working in public, academic, school, or special libraries, or an archive or museum, whose official job duties include cataloging, primarily using “traditional” library cataloging standards, such as Machine-Readable Cataloging (MARC), Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2), Resource Description & Access (RDA), Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH), Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and/or Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), to complete the following survey: https://dom.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_71xtQqZHnwHQkFD We would like to learn more about how catalogers perceive cataloging ethics, the most important ethical issues they face in their work, and how they address these issues. Please pass the survey along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it. The survey should take about 10-15 to complete and no identifying information will be collected unless you choose to supply your name and contact information for a follow-up interview (and that information will only be used for the purposes of the study). The deadline for completing the survey is February 10, 2019. Thank you in advance for your help!

Nō reira, me kimi ka tika te RSC i ngā whakaaro o ngā iwi taketake o te ao. The international RDA (Resource Description and Access) cataloguing rules are undergoing some significant changes in order to reflect changing metadata standards and the shift towards linked data. The RDA Steering Committee (RSC) is seeking input from indigenous cataloguers around the world to help identify and eliminate areas of Western bias within the language and conceptual structure of the draft rules. We would love to hear from cataloguers who identify as Māori, Pasifika, or other indigenous affiliation, and who would be interested in contributing to this work. Please contact ORDAC representative Chris Todd at Chris.Todd(a)wcc.govt.nz<mailto:Chris.Todd@wcc.govt.nz> for more information. For more information about the new rules, the underlying model (the IFLA LRM) and the RSC, please see: RSC: http://www.rda-rsc.org/ IFLA LRM: https://www.ifla.org/publications/node/11412 Kāore e kume roatia te korero, nō reira, noho ora mai Nā mātou noa Nā ngā kaimahi o ORDAC (Oceania RDA Community) http://www.rda-rsc.org/oceania

As usual, files are also available for download to update copies in local systems. We’d love some requests for new terms! The next hui will be held in Hakihea/December 2018 and as always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's a really easy process: if you're handling a collection item that is either in te reo Māori or has content about Māori, and you can't find an existing term in our thesaurus to suit your item, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> with your suggestion and the details of what you were working on. Suggestions where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Ariā pūoro – Music theory Hōhipera -- Hospitals Hōtaka (Ako) – Learning programmes Hōtaka (Pāpāho) – Broadcast programmes Hōtaka (Ratonga ki te iwi) – Social service programmes Hunga mātakitaki -- Audience Kaihanga uku – Potters Kaimātakitaki -- Spectators Kaitaki kōrero -- Broadcasters Kaitito -- Composers Kaiuiui -- Interviewers Kaiwhakaputa -- Producers Kaiwhakarongo -- Listeners Kaiwhakautu uiui -- Interviewees Kararehe kaikino – Animal pests Koiora orotā – Pest control Kōpae – Media discs Manu maunga – Mountain birds Manu rohe maunga – Alpine birds Mātātuhi -- Prints Ngā rā o te wiki – Days of the week Pāhotanga hopu i mua – Prerecorded broadcasts Pāhotanga mataora – Live broadcasts Para -- Rubbish Pīwauwau – Alpine rock wren Pūhuruhurutanga -- Puberty Pūkenga oro – Sound engineers Pūoro whakaari – Dramatic musical works Rakuraku -- Guitar Raupapa – Series Rēwana – Rēwana bread made with potato yeast Rīpene whakaata – Video tapes Rīpene whakarongo – Audio tapes Rōpū pūoro – Musical groups Te Ataarangi -- A Māori language learning method developed by Katerina Te Heikōkō Mataira, which incorporates an immersion approach based around the use of rākau (Cuisenaire rods).

The RDA Toolkit Restructure and Redesign Project, better known as the 3R Project, seeks to improve the usability of the Toolkit and to address a range of cataloging issues, including the implementation of the IFLA Library Reference Model (LRM). Since the June rollout of the RDA Toolkit beta site, the publishers of RDA and the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) have been collecting community feedback on the direction of both the standard and the website and are still making key decisions that will lead to the completion of the 3R Project. Join a discussion with representatives from the RSC, the North American RDA Committee and ALA Publishing, as they address the community feedback to the beta site, changes coming in September and beyond, and how the North American community can contribute to the continuing enhancement of RDA. Expected panelists include- Gordon Dunsire, Chair of RSC Kathy Glennan, Chair-elect of RSC James Hennelly, Director of RDA Toolkit Thomas Brenndorfer, NARDAC Representative to the RSC Freely available here https://alapublishing.webex.com/ec3300/eventcenter/recording/recordAction.d… Regards 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>

Cataloguing fiction intended for children and young adults
by Sandra McKenzie 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Kia ora koutou The National Library of New Zealand is changing its approach to subject headings when cataloguing fiction intended for children and young adults. For many years, we have followed the standards of the Library of Congress in its Children’s and Young Adults’ Cataloging Program (previously called the Annotated Card Program), using Children’s Subject Headings (MARC coding 650_1) in bibliographic records for this type of material. We have now decided to stop this practice, preferring instead to use Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT) and/or standard Library of Congress Subject Headings with the subdivision "Juvenile fiction" as appropriate. As with adult materials, we will continue to add a local genre/form term to support the retrieval of New Zealand literature, for example: 655 7 |a Children's stories, New Zealand. |2 local |5 Nz Regards Sandra Sandra McKenzie | Acting Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 2 National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial +64 4 4623926 | Extn: 3926 | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs

Changes to the Beta RDA Toolkit
by Catherine Amey 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Kia ora tātou I just thought I’d point out that there have been some helpful new changes to the Beta RDA Toolkit, live this morning! There’s now a persistent blue button taking you back to the top of the longer element pages, and the rather opaque Detailed, High-level and Parent element groups have been removed (as discussed at the CatSIG seminar yesterday). There have also been some layout changes, with instruction options highlighted more clearly. This seems very timely, and highlights the agile nature of the Toolkit, Have a lovely weekend Catherine Catherine Amey Authority Record Coordinator National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa PO Box 1467, Wellington 6140, New Zealand Direct Dial: +64 4704485 | Extn: 3485 | www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> The National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua [cid:image008.jpg@01D357A2.44114FA0]
