National Library of New Zealand RDA Toolkit update: Policy Statements and draft documentation now available
by Anoushka McGuire 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

Tēnā koutou/Greetings to you all, The National Library of New Zealand has reached another significant milestone in our RDA journey with another load of Policy Statements to the RDA Toolkit. Following the January 2024 release, these are now visible at https://access.rdatoolkit.org/. Where are the Policy Statements? You can explore our Policy Statements in the RDA Toolkit via the link in the Policies tab or by selecting ‘NLNZ PS’ from the menu at the top right of any of the element pages. If the NLNZ Policy Statements don’t appear in the drop-down list, you will need to ensure you have ticked ‘NLNZ PS’ in your Views. What Policy Statements are included? The NLNZ have loaded 98% of all the Policy Statements we intend to add to the RDA Toolkit. Our intention is to have Policy Statements at every element in the RDA Toolkit plus at all options on Entity and Guidance pages. If you don’t see any Policy Statements where you expect one, it is likely this is one of the few left to load. What about supporting documentation? With the January release we have published draft versions of some of our supporting documentation. Throughout the NLNZ Policy Statements you’ll see references to the NLNZ Guidance. This is a document to support cataloguers to use the NLNZ Policy Statements in conjunction with the RDA Toolkit. When you follow this link you will find a landing page<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=d9c0232c-5588-49…> within the RDA Toolkit, with a draft version of our Guidance that can be downloaded. Please note that the NLNZ guidance is still a Work-In-Progress and is not complete or finalised. Other documentation we have made available this release are: * StaticNonAggregateText MAP<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=00b4b65d-c88e-48…> (Our first format-based Metadata Application Profile (MAP) – this lists just the elements the NLNZ will use for describing a book) * NLNZ Vocabulary Encoding Schemes (NLNZ VES)<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=652b7835-2d9a-44…> * NLNZ String Encoding Schemes (NLNZ SES)<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=a248e9c9-4900-47…> * NLNZ alternative arrangement of Manifestation: extent of manifestation<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=211ade4b-f455-46…> * NLNZ language guidance for RDA<https://access.rdatoolkit.org/Document/Document?documentId=47dc641d-8ed7-46…> What about training? NLNZ cataloguers have recently completed the first phase of our Official RDA training. This first phase of training covers basic concepts, refreshing what is already known from Original RDA and introducing some new concepts. A package of our training resources is now available. The package consists of: * a plan for a seven-week programme of weekly discussions; * weekly prescribed readings and Niche Academy tutorials; * a Further Reading List. This training plan assumes you have a subscription to the RDA Toolkit. Subscriptions are available through EPIC https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/epic. If your library is a Kōtui library you already have access. Details on subscribing directly are here https://www.rdatoolkit.org/subscribe and a free 30-day trial is available. NLNZ cataloguers will be starting our second phase of training shortly and the training materials for this phase will also be made available. Please contact nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> to receive a copy of the training resources or for advice. This is really exciting, where can I find out more information? You can check out the December issue of Catapult<https://www.lianza.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Catapult-December-2023…> (the newsletter of the LIANZA Cataloguing Special Interest Group) for a short overview of the work the NLNZ has been doing to prepare to implement the new RDA Toolkit later this year. You can also email the NLNZ cataloguing teams at nznb(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:nznb@dia.govt.nz> if you have any questions about our Policy Statements, documentation, training or anything else!

Tēnā tātou Forwarding for anyone who is interested in completing this survey, Noho ora mai Nā Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Radical Cataloging <RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> On Behalf Of Karen Snow Sent: Thursday, February 8, 2024 3:29 AM To: RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Cataloging Ethics Study [You don't often get email from ksnow(a)dom.edu. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ] *Please excuse cross-postings* Dear colleagues, We are conducting a follow-up study about cataloging ethics, and we need your help, even if you completed our 2019 questionnaire on the same topic. 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 questionnaire: https://dom.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eDOC8emgtnzFOlM 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. Since we already collected similar information using survey research in 2019, our goal is to compare previous responses to current responses. Please pass the questionnaire link along to anyone or any group who might be interested in completing it. The questionnaire should take about 10-15 minutes to complete and no identifying information will be collected. The deadline for completing the questionnaire is Thursday, February 22. Thank you in advance for your help!

These include Haurehu kati mahana < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/haurehu-kati-mahana> (Greenhouse gases), Hokohoko tukunga < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/hokohoko-tukunga> (Emissions trading schemes), and Whakaiti tukunga haurehu < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakaiti-tukunga-haure…>, which describes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Sadly, we created a term for extinction and extinct species, Korehāhā https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/korehāhā<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/koreh%C4%81h%C4%81>. which sits along Momo whatungarongaro < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/momo-whatungarongaro>, the existing term for endangered and threatened species, On a happier note, the terms relating to species of robin and their geographical distribution were reviewed, leading to adding Kakaruwai < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/kakaruwai> to describe South Island robins. We added a new term, Pūnaha whakarōpū https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/pūnaha-whakarōpū<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/p%C5%ABnaha-whakar%C5%…>, to describe such taxonomic relationships. We also created a new term for Tikumu < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tikumu> (Mountain daisies), an alpine plant with white daisies blooming above rosettes of leaves or on low-growing shrubs in spring and early summer. The silvery undersides of Tikumu leaves may be used for weaving kākahu (garments) and poi, and Te Papa holds an exquisite Kākahu tikumu < https://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/topic/3756 > in their collections. A request for Ngaru autōhiko < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ngaru-autōhiko<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ngaru-aut%C5%8Dhiko>> (Electromagnetic waves) led to the realisation that there was no descriptor in Ngā Upoko Tukutuku for any kind of wave. We have now added Ngaru < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ngaru to describe ocean waves. Te Whakakaokao has created a new term for Te Kara o Te Whakaminenga o Nga Hapu o Nu Tireni https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/te-kara-o-te-whakamine… <https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/te-kara-o-te-whakamine…> , the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand. Te Kara was first flown at Waitangi in March 1934. A term has also been added for Loyalty oaths, Oati piripono < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/oati-piripono>. While Te Whakakaokao generally prefers to avoid transliterations of English terms ‘Loyalty oaths’ are very much a Pākehā concept, and a loan word is appropriate in this context. Other terms of interest include Whakamahere ā-takiwā https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakamahere-ā-takiwa<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakamahere-%C4%81-tak…> (Town planning), Rakahinonga < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/rakahinonga> (Entrepreneurship), and Tukanga whakatau https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tukanga-whakatau, which describes decision-making processes. Several terms have been added to describe concepts relating to education and the arts. These include Ako tawhiti https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ako-tawhiti (Distance learning), Akoranga mahi ā-rehe < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/akoranga-mahi-%C4%81-r…> (Trades education), and Whakakitenga < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whakakitenga>, a general term for exhibitions of all kinds. The language of poking fun, Reo kapekape < https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/reo-kapekape> now features in Ngā Upoko Tukutuku, and may be used to describe humorous language used in informal situations. There is also now a term for theatrical masks, Mata kōkako https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/mata-kōkako<https://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/nga-upoko-tukutuku/mata-k%C5%8Dkako>. This name references the black facial mask of the kōkako and is familiar to performing artists. Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Kia ora koutou Ngā mihi o Hineraumati ki a koutou! (Summer greetings). Forwarding this post on, as it may be of interest to libraries with zine collections, or when describing resources where LCSH terms seem inadequate. Nāku noa nā Catherine -----Original Message----- From: Radical Cataloging <RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU> On Behalf Of Violet Fox Sent: Friday, December 15, 2023 6:58 AM To: RADCAT(a)LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: an alternative to LCSH If you've ever been frustrated by LCSH, consider taking a look at the Anchor Archive Zine Thesaurus: https://anchorarchive.org/subject-thesaurus/ As of this month, the thesaurus now has a MARC code for use in a 650 _7 subfield 2 (zst); see that announcement at: https://loc.gov/marc/relators/tn231205src.html The Zine Subject Thesaurus is a general vocabulary that's not just for zines—it might come in handy for other radical resources in your collections, or for terms where LCSH seems out-of-date or particularly conservative. A group of volunteer librarians recently reviewed the entire vocabulary to improve consistency in hierarchical structure and terminology. Please share the word and let me know if you have any questions! Thanks, Violet

Consultation on dual-language names
by Charlotte Christensen 12 Nov '23

12 Nov '23

[apologies for cross-posting] Kia ora, ORDAC are seeking feedback on a draft proposal to add options to RDA allowing for the recording of dual-language names, both as corporate bodies and as places, and as the Oceania representative to the RDA Steering Committee (RSC) I'd like your help in making sure we get good community input. Dual-language naming is increasingly common in our region. This occurs where a corporate body or place is known by a name that includes words from more than one language. Uluru/Ayer's Rock and Aoraki/Mt Cook are identifiable places where the names appear in this form in the relevant gazetteer. While using only part of the name would still be recognisable, the official form is to include both at the same time regardless of which language you are speaking when you use them. Please do take the time to read the draft proposal document and consider the following questions: * regardless of whether you would use the added options at your own institution, do they make sense to you or is something unclear/missing? * do you have any examples from other countries/situations where the same problem occurs? If you have any feedback, please send it directly to charlotte(a)rdatoolkit.org<mailto:charlotte@rdatoolkit.org> so we can refine this proposal before it is presented to the RSC in 2024. The proposal can be found here: http://rda-rsc.org/sites/all/files/Consultation%20version%20-%20ORDAC%20RSC… ngā mihi nui, Charlotte Christensen ORDAC RSC representative Charlotte Christensen RLIANZA Mātanga Whakaahuaanga Kohinga Matua Senior Collection Description Specialist Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand Direct Dial: 07 867 1234 www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> | dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs [Logo-test] Charlotte Christensen RLIANZA Mātanga Whakaahuaanga Kohinga Matua Senior Collection Description Specialist Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand Direct Dial: 07 867 1234 www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz> | dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz> National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs [Logo-test]
