For detailed information about the switchover, follow this link<https://www.rdatoolkit.org/node/230>. Also, look for information very soon on the move of the RDA-L list to a new platform that we hope will revitalize this important discussion community.

The Oceania region will be represented again at the meeting by the ORDAC<http://www.rda-rsc.org/oceania> representative to the RSC, Melissa Parent. The four briefing papers<http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/578> below will be discussed at the public session and I would also like to encourage you to send comments and feedback about these papers directly to ORDAC to incorporate into our regional response.

Please forgive the duplication of this announcement via multiple lists. The following announcement was just posted to the RSC website: The draft agenda<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/RSC-Public%20agenda-236-260%20draft.…> and briefing papers<http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/578> for the October 2020 RDA Steering Committee (RSC) meeting are now available. The final version of the agenda will be published just before the meeting begins, but the agenda is not expected to substantively change. As previously announced, this will be a two-week virtual meeting (12-15 October and 20-23 October), which will use a mix of asynchronous and video meeting styles. It is not possible to have observers at the asynchronous meetings due to software constraints. Outcomes from that portion of the meeting will be publicly reported as soon as practical. However, the public session of the agenda will be discussed in a Zoom video call which will be open to observers. This call is scheduled for Thursday 15 October at 21:00 UTC/GMT (Wednesday 14 October at 5 pm EDT). It will be a two hour call. The RSC offers apologies to those for whom this is an inconvenient time; the group rotates calls throughout time zones to share the burden of middle-of-the-night calls. Outcomes will be publicly reported as soon as practical. The topics for the public session are: * Internationalization of RDA Toolkit during the 3R Project<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/247%20Internationalization%20of%20RD…> * Timespans and units of time<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/248%20Timespans%20and%20units%20of%2…> * RDA vocabulary encoding scheme for Manifestation: type of binding<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/249%20Type%20of%20binding%20VES.pdf> * Proposal to add the elements 'curator agent of work' and its inverse to RDA<http://www.rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/250%20Curator%20agent%20of%20work%20…> (This will be a discussion of the proposal process; the RSC will consider the content of the proposal at a future meeting) Please contact the RSC Secretary, Linda Barnhart at rscsecretary(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:rscsecretary@rdatoolkit.org> by 5 October to register to attend this video call. The RSC does not publish the recordings of its meetings, which are captured for the purpose of creating accurate minutes.

Reclassifying non-western art at UCL
by Tamsyn Bayliss 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

In case of interest, forwarded from the ARLIS/NA email list From: ARLIS/NA List <ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG> On Behalf Of Sherman Clarke Sent: Wednesday, 23 September 2020 1:31 PM To: ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG Subject: [ARLIS-L] reclassifying non-western art at UCL Videos of papers from the CILIP Metadata & Discovery Group conference held earlier in September are available on YouTube. One of the papers is on "The reclassification of non-Western art at UCL Library" by Thomas Meehan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pukdl7NNJkA&list=PL1jZ6RAW3dE246cEV1d-YTW9Q… CILIP is the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, the principal professional library association in the U.K. Meehan discusses the Garside classification that they use for art at the University College of London Library. M is the letter for modern art and there are numbers for a dozen or so countries (MF for France, MG for German-speaking countries) and then MX is for everything else, e.g., Africa, Brazil, Latin America, Nigeria, Norway. He and his cataloging and art specialist colleagues developed numbers for the individual countries and continents and added further breakdown for special artists. They used various capabilities of Alma along with Excel and MarcEdit to create class numbers for the 1800 books in the MX portion of the scheme. I found it interesting even though the Garside scheme is unique to UCL. The issues are not unique however. Meehan admits that subject cataloging issues like "Illegal aliens" present more complications. Once you get to this video, you can go on to other videos from the CILIP MDG conference by following YouTube prompts.

National Library survey of the New Zealand cataloguing community - results available
by Kim Gutchlag 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

[Apologies for cross-posting] Kia ora koutou, In 2019 the National Library conducted a survey of the New Zealand cataloguing community. We would like to thank everyone who responded, and particularly acknowledge the many people who provided useful comments. A report of the results of this survey can be found on the reports and research section of the National Library of New Zealand website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/reports-and-research/survey-of-the-new-ze…>. You will see that there are some follow-up actions for the National Library, which we will work on during the remainder part of 2020 and into 2021. This will include working with CatSIG in undertaking some research into the make-up of the current New Zealand cataloguing community, the kind of tools and workflows used and current challenges. This will help us as we move toward the implementation of the new Toolkit for RDA (Resource Description and Access). If you have any questions or comments about the report please do get in touch by emailing: nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> Ngā mihi, Kim Gutchlag Manager, Collection Development and Description National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa Wellington, New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +644 474 3085 www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/>
