Information on the RSC Meeting in October 2020
by Anoushka McGuire 31 Jul '20

31 Jul '20

Hello, colleagues. Apologies if you receive this via multiple lists. The following announcement was posted today on the RSC website: The in-person meeting of the RDA Steering Committee planned for October 2020 at the National Library of Israel has been shifted to a virtual meeting format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The RSC thanks the National Library for their invitation and looks forward to holding our annual in-person meeting in Jerusalem at some point in the future. The RSC’s October meeting has been transformed into a two-week virtual meeting (12-15 October and 20-23 October), which will use a mix of asynchronous and video meeting styles. Four video calls will be scheduled during these two weeks for interactive discussions. These four video calls will be staggered across time zones so that members from all regions share the joy of a middle-of-the-night call. Observers are welcome to attend the public portions of the video calls. The agenda items for these calls, as well as the specific dates and times, will be published on the RSC website in mid-September. Observers will be asked to register with the RSC Secretary, and space will be limited. As usual, the RSC does not plan to publish the recordings of its in-person meetings, which are captured for the purpose of creating accurate minutes. Agendas<http://rda-jsc.org/RSCmeetingagendas> for the asynchronous meetings likewise will be published on the RSC website in mid-September. It is not possible to have observers at an asynchronous meeting due to software constraints. Information about the discussion and decisions arising from this meeting will be available in due course from the Outcomes document and the Minutes<http://rda-rsc.org/RSCminutes>.

An update from Library Juice Academy
by Tamsyn Bayliss 01 Apr '20

01 Apr '20

From: ARLIS/NA List <ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG> On Behalf Of Rory Litwin Sent: Wednesday, 1 April 2020 2:44 AM To: ARLIS-L(a)LSV.ARLISNA.ORG Subject: [ARLIS-L] An update from Library Juice Academy Hello from Sacramento. We are working from home, but we do that normally anyway. We're compartmentalizing and finding distraction in our work in this very disturbing time. I want to give you a few updates from Library Juice Academy. The first thing to mention is that we're not terribly impacted by what is happening in a business sense. Classes are running normally, and we're available to help with issues that people may have. We have 20 classes listed for April, all of them going ahead as planned. The MarcEdit class is full (two sections), but it is being taught again in August. A number of other classes are almost full, so you might want to jump on it if you're hoping to take one of our April classes. April classes start next Monday. https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/courses.php One April class in particular that I want to promote is the first class in our new series for support staff. We have a slate of ten classes for the ALA-APA Library Support Staff Certification program. The first one we're offering is one of the required courses, the Foundations course. It starts next Monday. https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/242-LSSC-Foundations.php We are launching a new website later today. It has a number of improvements over the old site, but it may be wonky in ways that we aren't aware of yet, so if you have feedback for us, please send it. We've been having issues with a security certificate recently, so it's possible that you may be blocked from accessing the site. Please let me know if you encounter that. It may help us solve the issue. The site will be down for an hour or two sometime today. https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/ The discount code that we had running in March will continue through April. Use the discount code CRISIS10 for a 10% discount at checkout if you're paying online, and mention it if you contact me to arrange a different method of payment. By the way, the same discount code can give you 10% off our books at our bookseller partner, Parlew Distribution. (We're a book publisher too, if you didn't know that. You can find our books at https://litwinbooks.com/ , with links to the bookstore from each book description.) Regarding payments, we recognize that a lot of institutions have had their payment procedures interrupted. We can be flexible and find solutions to accommodate whatever situation you might be in. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Feel free to contact me if you have anything to say about what we're doing or any thoughts on what else we can do to help, or just want to connect. Take care and be well, Rory Litwin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to arlis-l(a)lsv.arlisna.org<mailto:arlis-l@lsv.arlisna.org> For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to listserv(a)lsv.arlisna.org<mailto:listserv@lsv.arlisna.org> ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: jdyki(a)cranbrook.edu<mailto:jdyki@cranbrook.edu> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [Auckland Council] This email is confidential.

Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Subject Headings Huitanguru/Pēpuere/February 2020 release
by Catherine Amey 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Hakihea/Tīhema/December Te Whakakaokao/Māori Subject Headings Working Group hui of 2019 are now available for use on the National Library website<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku>. As you may have noticed, the look of the site has changed slightly, and there is now a persistent search box that appears on every page within Ngā Upoko Tukutuku. There are also now three extra files on the Ngā Upoko Tukutuku metadata download page,<https://natlib.govt.nz/about-us/open-data/nga-upoko-tukutuku-metadata> so that you can choose to download either the entire thesaurus in your preferred MARC format, or just the new and changed terms. These changes have been implemented in response to user feedback, so warm thanks to everyone who has asked for these changes. Tukua mai ōu whakaaro mō ngā ingoa me tāpiri anō ki te paetukutuku! We’d love some requests for new terms! 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. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Atewharowharo – Lungs Hinewai - An atua who is the personification of light misty rain Hipihope – Hip hop Hū - Shoes Kamupūtu – Gumboots Puoro arotini – Popular music Puoro kōrangaranga – Blues Puoro rekereke – Reggae Rāpaki - Wrap-around garments, worn from the waist to the knee Te Ihorangi - An atua associated with rain Waewae – Legs, feet Recent Changes Many of the changes have focused on the area of music. Macrons have been removed from all occurrences of the term Puoro (Music), to restore consistency with recommended orthographical practices. Please note that we have temporarily created ‘see references’ from the equivalent terms with macrons included, in order to minimise bibliographic file maintenance in library catalogues. These references will be removed with the next update, unless they reflect actual usage. New terms that may be useful to describe musical resources include Hipehope (Hiphop), Puoro rekereke (Reggae), Puoro kōrangaranga (Blues) and Puoro arotini (Popular music). The scope note of Waiata tira has adjusted to make it clear that this term may be used to describe both choral group performances in the context of events such as Te Matatini, and notated music for choral group performances. The scope of Oriori has also been significantly clarified to explain that this term should be used for waiata that retell the stories of ancestral journeys, places, whakapapa, pepeha, or significant historical events. It should only be used for lullabies if the content of the waiata fits within this scope. The scope notes for Hopu reo (Sound recordings) and Taonga puoro (Māori musical instruments) have also been adjusted. The term Puoro reo (Instrumental music) has been corrected to Reo puoro, and the hierarchy and scope note adjusted. New concepts in the domain of describing the body and clothing have been created. These include Atewharowharo (Lungs), Waewae (Feet, Legs), Hū (Shoes) and Kamupūtu (Gumboots). The terms relating to Raranga (Weaving), and Kāhahu (Clothing) are in process of being revised to maintain the integrity of the hierarchical relationships within the context of Te Ao Māori.
