RSC video presentations about the Beta Toolkit

Kia ora tātou I just thought I’d point out that some of the RSC video presentations about the Beta RDA Toolkit from the ALA Annual Meeting are now available online at: http://www.rda-rsc.org/node/560 I’ve just been watching Kate James’ presentation “Basics of Attributes and Relationships<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koS2CDltgy8>” and Gordon Dunsire’s presentation “Dates, Approximately<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX3VBclSNPA>”, and found them both very interesting and informative, Kind regards 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]

Re: [CatSIG] RDA Toolkit Beta ...
by Anoushka McGuire 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Kia ora Amanda, First, apologies for the length of time it’s taken to reply. Charlotte and I have both taken some leave over the last week. You’re right - we got a little muddled in what we were trying to say. It would have been more accurate to say something along the lines of the content of the Beta is not yet complete and much of it is the same as the current Toolkit, just organised differently. You are right in that the impact of including new entities and elements required by the LRM does mean a lot of new content, and even when the content hasn’t changed, the changes in navigation can make it feel unfamiliar. We’re not overly concerned about the lack of rule numbers at the National Library of New Zealand as when we train new cataloguers we de-emphasise these anyway. Our training program focuses on building comfort with the entities and the elements first, which is easier to do if we concentrate on teaching the labels rather than the rule numbers. That’s why when we’re training new cataloguers we spend so much time working on worksheets, labelled with the elements we want them to be recording. We spend a number of weeks in this stage, keeping the RDA elements well away from MARC because that’s when things get really confusing. It’s only when someone is confident thinking “OK, now I’m recording the elements needed to describe the manifestation, and now I’m identifying the elements that identify the work, now I’m deciding which other entities are important and how to identify the relationship between those entities and these entities” do we teach how to squash those elements into MARC (and reveal that some can’t be squashed easily!). There is going to be some work here as we all get to grips with the new elements as well as those elements that are the same but have different labels. Being forced to think about where to look for something in the new toolkit takes a lot of work right now, but I’m confident that if we know which entity we’re describing, and think about which elements we need to do that, it will start to become easier very quickly. Then there is the work to build an application profile! I’m personally excited about this because it is essentially what our NLNZ policies are for. That is, our current RDA policies are our official statement on how we apply RDA at the NLNZ. Having to produce a more formal and explicit application profile which spells out exactly which elements we do use and which recording method we prefer for each is going to be a good thing. We’ll be looking at what Library of Congress and the Program for Co-operative Cataloguing do of course, as we have in the past. It is definitely worth signing up to RDA-L to follow the ongoing analysis.

Thanks to the editors and writers for the latest issue of Catapult. I wanted to query one statement in it regarding the RDA Toolkit's beta version on p. 11 of Catapult which says: · "while there is no intentional change in any of the content of RDA instructions ..." My understanding was that there had been quite a bit of change to the content including to bring it in line with LRM. There's a summary of it in the 8 June document here: http://rda-rsc.org/news along with some change to wording (which IMO makes it harder to understand especially for new cataloguers or cataloguing students) and the removal of numbering (ditto for both groups; teaching from this version will be challenging). While I'm aware this is only the beta version and needs a lot more added to it, I am not encouraged so far. I would be interested to hear what others in NZ think about it. For anyone on CatSIG list who is not also on RDA-L, I do recommend subscribing and following the on-going analysis there.

Information about the webinar is below – we hope you can join us! Last week RDA rolled out a beta version of the new, revised RDA Toolkit with a very different ‘look and feel’. Changes to the Toolkit reflect the approach and content of RDA’s new conceptual model, the ‘LRM’ (Library Reference Model). Although it will be more than a year before the old Toolkit is decommissioned, you should begin preparing for this change now. To guide you through the process, Lynn Farkas Information Services is pleased to offer a series of webinars on Getting Ready for RDA ‘2.0’. Our webinars are an excellent way to keep up to date with developments in RDA. They are easy to participate in and an efficient way to be trained without having to leave your work area. Our first webinar, LRM in a Nutshell, will focus on the Library Reference Model (LRM) which forms the basis for RDA’s changes. Course details are below. Course title: LRM (Library Reference Model) in a Nutshell Venue: Interactive online Webinar session accessed from your desktop. Duration: 1.5 hours Presenters: Lynn Farkas, Helen Rowe Date: Thursday 5 July 2018 Time: 11.00am - 12.30pm, Australian Eastern Standard time Cost: $95.00 per person, including GST Participation: If you have never attended a webinar, we’ll send you details of what to expect. There will be time allocated to answer questions. Summary: The webinar will cover: * Background to LRM * Why LRM was developed * What’s the same in the new LRM model * What’s different and what’s changed * What’s new in LRM * Implications for RDA Toolkit use. Some of you may remember our ‘RDA Awareness’ webinar series in 2013/14, which introduced RDA to Australia’s cataloguing staff and library managers. This new series will continue our mission to demystify RDA for Australian cataloguers. Please note that we will also be offering face-to-face training for cataloguers, focusing on the practical details of using the new RDA Toolkit, in late 2018 and throughout 2019 in various locations around Australia. The Presenters Our presenters, Lynn Farkas and Helen Rowe, are experienced cataloguers, qualified trainers and designated RDA trainers. They are the authors of the practical workbook ‘Cataloging the RDA Way’ which is used in librarianship courses throughout Australia, Canada and the United States. Lynn and Helen have delivered webinars and face-to-face RDA training to many hundreds of librarian and technician cataloguers across Australia and New Zealand.

Māori Subject Headings June release
by Charlotte Christensen 26 Jun '18

26 Jun '18

[Apologies for cross-posting] Tēna koutou, The new and changed headings from the first 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. Important notice - your help needed! The next hui will be held in Mahuru/September and as always we're keen 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 the Māori term are just fine. New terms - Pipiri/June 2018 Harore https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/harore Hekaheka https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/hekaheka Kākahi (Kararehe whāngote) https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/k%C4%81kahi-kararehe-wh%C4%81ngote Koraha https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/koraha Pūnaha parakaingaki https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/p%C5%ABnaha-parakaingaki Rāpoka https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/r%C4%81poka Ringa tohu (Whakaari) https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/ringa-tohu-whakaari Te Pakanga Tuarua o Te Ao https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/te-pakanga-tuarua-o-te-ao Tohi https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tohi Tohu maumahara https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tohu-maumahara Tumuaki https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/tumuaki Whare tapere https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whare-tapere Changed terms - Piripi/June 2018 Most of the changes from this hui are either minor or involve broadening the scope of coverage of existing terms. Anga <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/anga> had a minor change in the English scope note to clarify that this includes all frameworks, and not just basic ones. Kawa <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/kawa> was previously restricted to situations related to marae and has now been broadened to cover any tribal grouping. Whare tūpuna <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/whare-t%C5%ABpuna> has been reworded to help the English and Māori texts to better align, and to make it clear that it is the connection to ancestors which is important in applying this term, not the carvings. Pūrongo <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/p%C5%ABrongo> has been broadened to cover articles, and also moved within the hierarchy/whakapapa of the thesaurus to sit directly under Kōrero <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/k%C5%8Drero> so it can be applicable to non-written forms of reports and articles. Finally, Tūkinotanga ā-taiao has been subtly changed to Tūkinotanga ā taiao <https://natlib.govt.nz/nga-upoko-tukutuku/t%C5%ABkinotanga-%C4%81-taiao> removing the hyphen between the second and third words of the phrase. nāku nā Charlotte Christensen, on behalf of Te Whakakaokao Charlotte Christensen RLIANZA | Senior Collection Description Librarian National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa Direct Dial: 07 867 1234 | www.natlib.govt.nz National Library of New Zealand is part of the Department of Internal Affairs [Logo-test]
