[Apologies for cross-posting] Tēnā koutou, The new and changed headings from the Mahuru/September Te Whakakaokao/Māori Subject Headings Working Group hui of 2018 are now available for use on the National Library website. 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).

These are accompanied by a group of new terms relating to music and musicians, such as Ariā pūoro (Music theory), Rōpū pūoro (Musical groups), Rakuraku (Guitar), Tira waiata (Vocal groups) and Kaitito (Composers). New terms have been created to describe different types of moving image and audio resources, including Rīpene whakaata (Videotapes), Rīpene whakarongo (Audio tapes), and Pāhotanga mataora (Live broadcasts).

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
