by Joanne Rowan 19 Mar '17

19 Mar '17

If you want to gain some more experience cataloguing DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and Streaming Videos this course might be for you. CatSIG is offering to sponsor one person to do the following cataloguing course. Beyond the Basics: Cataloging DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and Streaming Videos offer by Library Juice Dates: May 1st to 26th, 2017 This course is designed to help those with basic cataloguing experience become comfortable cataloguing more challenging formats. Participants will learn how to catalogue motion pictures on DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and streaming formats in RDA and MARC through lots of hands-on practice including learning to identify the preferred sources of information to use when determining titles and statements of responsibility, how to handle multiple production companies, distributors, and dates frequently found on these resources, how to determine authorized and variant access points, and how to create accurate physical descriptions that reflect new fields added under RDA. Participants will also learn the primary differences between RDA and AACR2 for audio-visual resources so that they can effectively copy catalogue and enrich existing records. Course Objectives: Understand how cataloguing audio-visual resources differs from cataloguing other formats. Learn how to use and format all necessary fixed and variable fields to create full MARC records for DVDs, Blu-ray, and Streaming video resources.

RDA records for USBs
by Dames, Rebecca 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Kia ora koutou, Aroha mai, my apologies for the tardiness of this email. After asking for assistance with an RDA record for a book on USB a few weeks ago, I was hit with the craziness that is University O Week, add to that the fact that a lecturer ‘commandered’ the item for a couple of weeks and it all combines to mean that I only got a chance to act upon your wonderfully helpful responses yesterday. Attached is a screenshot summary of the main ways to fill in an RDA record, they’re pretty similar but it does show that even the experts disagree sometimes. I particularly found the 347 field examples really helpful. And I’m in favour of 338 Computer chip cartridge over 338 Computer disc as can be seen in the last example. I haven’t included the names of where these examples come from, partly so we can just choose the one that fits each of our institutions best without bias, and also partly (mostly) because I’ve forgotten since I pulled this together weeks ago. Ngā mihi maioha to all who responded to my call for help, ka mau te wehi! Hope to see all Aoraki cataloguers at Lincoln Public Library on Wed 22nd!

MARC punctuation and Māori Subject Headings in National Library records
by Catherine Amey 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Kia ora koutou At the recent ‘Tukua’ Māori Subject Headings training workshop, it was noted that some agencies have been downloading National Library bibliographic records with Māori Subject Headings that lack the correct MARC punctuation. We understand this has caused filing and display problems in some OPACs. The problem is associated with Alma, National Library’s library management system. We have just received the good news that ExLibris are working to fix this MARC punctuation problem, which should be resolved by December 2017 – still quite a long way away, but at least we are making progress!

Expressions of interest in a 2nd Kiwi Jane-athon in Christchurch
by Joanne Rowan 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

After the feedback from last year's Cataloguer's Day, CatSIG is looking for expressions of interest in the following course so that we can decide what training to provide for the membership this year. Are you interested in taking part in a second Kiwi "Jane-athon" either before or after the LIANZA conference in September in Christchurch? The purpose of the workshop is to catalogue an author's resources with software specifically designed to use RDA: Resource Description and Access (i.e. RIMMF - RDA in Many Metadata Formats). In addition to building practical experience with "native" (not MARC-based) RDA, participants will explore the very real issues inherent in using Resource Description Framework (RDF) statements in aggregated "packages" ready to contribute to the Linked Data world. The first New Zealand workshop used the works of Maurice Gee, but other events have used different authors including Jane Austen, Robert Louis Stevenson and Agatha Christie. For a full list of "X-athons" (including the first Kiwi Jane-athon) see: http://rballs.info/xathons/ You must be prepared to be an active participant. You don't have to be an expert in either RIMMF or RDA, but you should come ready to work with both. Preparing for this event may involve downloading the RIMMF software to a laptop, using the software following a series of tutorials created by the RIMMF designers and bringing the laptop, and some examples to work with, to the event. Please email expressions of interest and enquiries to catsigcommittee(a)gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com> The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 3rd March 2017 Regards Joanne Rowan CatSIG Convenor c/o Serials Unit Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz<mailto:jf.rowan@auckland.ac.nz>

Hi all, A reminder that expressions of interest in being a representatives on the ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee) close on Friday. If you want to have be involved in the future direction of RDA, please sent us an email expressing your interest. Regards Joanne Rowan Serials Unit Libraries and Learning Services University of Auckland Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Phone: 649 3737 599 extn 87725 Fax: 649 3737 401 Email: jf.rowan(a)auckland.ac.nz -----Original Message----- From: nz-libs-bounces(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz [mailto:nz-libs-bounces@lists.vuw.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Joanne Rowan Sent: Friday, 3 February 2017 7:33 a.m. To: catsig(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz; 'nz-libs(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz' Subject: [NZ-Libs] Expression of interest in representatives to ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee) Hi all, Following on from Anoushka's email a couple of weeks ago about the changes to the CatSIG terms of reference, this is a formal call for expressions of interest in joining ORDAC (the Oceania RDA Committee). Introduction Resource Description and Access (RDA) is the current standard for creating bibliographic descriptions for our published collections. As a new standard, it is under active development and improvement and recent changes to the Steering Committee responsible for the standard will give New Zealand Cataloguers the opportunity to have direct influence on the direction and development of this standard. The Joint Steering Committee for the Development of RDA (JSC), is currently transitioning to a new governance model, to be in place by 2019. This began at the November 2015 meeting of the JSC, where the first step taken was to rename the Committee the RDA Steering Committee (RSC): http://www.rda-rsc.org/. The RSC's new governance model is designed to widen international participation in the development of Resource Description and Access (RDA), and now the new structure will include six regional representatives: Africa, Latin American and the Caribbean, North America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) have been until now, providing Australian representation to the RSC and now it expected that representation will be supported by the wider Oceania region, including New Zealand and other Pacific countries. ACOC and LIANZA's Cataloguing Special Interest Group (CatSIG) have agreed to convene an Oceania RDA group to support the Oceania representatives to the RSC and to the RDA Board. This Oceania group will be called ORDAC (Oceania RDA Committee). The Committee's support will include reading the proposals for changes to RDA which are put to RSC for discussion at the annual meeting, formulating an ORDAC response to each proposal, and preparing ORDAC proposals ( http://rda-rsc.org/newrscdocs ). Committee The ORDAC committee will be made up of: Catherine Argus - ACOC Chair, NLA representative Edith Fullalove - ALIA representative Ebe Kartus - Australian representative on the RDA Steering Committee (RSC), ALIA representative Melissa Parent - Australian representative on the Dewey Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee (EPC), ALIA representative Jenny Stephens - NLA representative Monika Szunejko - NLA representative Plus up to three representatives from NZ We are looking for up to three people to join this group, with the first meeting for 2017 on Friday 24th February. Expected workload and process: ORDAC has a shared wiki space where the RSC discussion documents are posted in the lead up to the annual meeting of the RSC. All committee representatives are expected to read the proposals and comment using the wiki. If there is a need for more in-depth discussion, then a teleconference is scheduled. The workload increases in the lead up to the annual meeting as the group finalises formal responses to proposals, but the group may also spend time formulating new proposals at any time through the year. Additionally, as ORDAC is a new committee, a new terms of reference will need to written. The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 17th February 2017.
