Contributors for the next Catapult issue
by Tamsyn Bayliss 31 May '16

31 May '16

Dear colleagues, We're planning the March issue of Catapult and are looking for your contributions! The tentative theme is 'future-forward'- as inspired by Kevin Ford's recent visit and his talk on BIBFRAME. (Reminder- the webcast is still available to view here: http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/lianza-catsig) Do you have views on RDF, BIBFRAME, linked data, the future of the library catalogue and cataloguing, or examples of how your library is planning or has implemented new systems? Also, on a broader tangent - if you've read something interesting, started a new role, attended a workshop or completed a cataloguing project and would like to share, we'd love to include it too. The deadline for contributions will be Friday 4th March. Please get in touch with ideas to either/ both of us at: Tamsyn Bayliss tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com> Jessie Moir jessiem(a)hdc.govt.nz<mailto:jessiem@hdc.govt.nz> Many thanks, Tamsyn and Jessie Tamsyn Bayliss | Cataloguing Librarian | Auckland War Memorial Museum | Tamaki Paenga Hira | The Domain, Private Bag 92018, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, New Zealand | www.aucklandmuseum.com<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/> | M | P +64 9 309 0443 ext 7258 | F +64 9 379 9956 | E tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/>[cid:image002.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/whats-on/exhibitions/air-new-zealand-75-years> [cid:image003.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://www.facebook.com/AucklandMuseum?ref=hl>[cid:image004.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://instagram.com/aucklandmuseum/>[cid:image005.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://twitter.com/aucklandmuseum/>[cid:image006.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://www.youtube.com/user/aucklandmuseum>[cid:image007.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph>[cid:image008.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/collections-research/collections>[cid:image009.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://store.aucklandmuseum.com/>[cid:image010.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/venue-hire>[cid:image011.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/get-involved/donate-sponsor-support/make-a-do…> Auckland Museum Trust Board ("Auckland Museum") accepts no liability for any opinion contained in this email.

There are also two examples showing diagrams of specific RDA entities, elements, and relationships. More will be added later. That examples page also includes a link to rball versions of some of the bibliographic examples; they are available in both RIMMF native RDA format and RDF linked data format. These examples may be accessed from the RDA Toolkit website (http://www.rdatoolkit.org/examples/MARC) or from the link on the Tools tab in RDA Toolkit (http://access.rdatoolkit.org/) The examples are freely available to all. No subscription to RDA Toolkit is required to access and download the examples.

FW: Good Afternoon
by Jessie Moir 23 May '16

23 May '16

Posted on behalf of Sandra O'Dea Email: s.odea(a)ucol.ac.nz<mailto:s.odea@ucol.ac.nz> Good afternoon all, I thought I would share this with you: UCOL's restructuring proposal: All library staff and student support staff roles at the UCOL Palmerston North campus 'are being' disestablished (proposal/consultation phase has begun). The proposal suggests that all library roles be disestablished (there are 10 librarians currently working here). They propose to name the library the 'Knowledge Hub' and create four new library roles - job title: Student Library Advisors, and one leader role - job title: Senior Advisor Knowledge Hub. It appears that our librarian roles are not viewed by UCOL management as professional/specialised/skilled roles (although one slight concession that suggests the library roles are professional, is the requirement for a degree and library qualification in the new job description): UCOL has released the draft job description for the proposed 'Student Library Advisor' role. Most of the current library roles (duties) (i.e. Cataloguer, Electronic, Interloans, Liaison, Acquisition, Systems, Processing, Collection Management, Overdues & Circulation etc.) are to be condensed into the proposed Student Library Advisor role. The Student Library Advisor is also expected to carry out work at the customer service desk; however this not only includes circulation/library duties but Information Technology assistance (e.g. computer logins and printing requirements - Advanced information technology skills is listed as an essential specific experience) - this is because the current non-library Computer Support Assistant role (1 full-time and 1 part-time role/people) is also being disestablished. The Student Library Advisor is also expected to manage other student resources (this could include handling student nursing uniforms, graduation gowns, equipment bonds, trip/travel payments, gym fee payments etc.) - this is because the Student Resource Centre (currently manned by two non-library roles/people) is also being disestablished. Many of the duties listed in the proposed new role description (Student Library Advisor) appears to be liaison based i.e. teaching - providing seminars, online resources, workshops and one-on-one sessions for staff and students; with some of the technical library roles mentioned briefly in a few bullet points. If you would like to support us there is a petition you might like to sign here<teu.ac.nz/ucol> and/or you may like to email a few words of support? Your support is much appreciated.

This virtual conference will explore implementations of BIBFRAME data, and related approaches to sharing and interacting with it. Speakers will address active projects based on linked data and how those services are improving interactions and discovery of information resources. Confirmed speakers include: Shana McDanold, Georgetown University; Carolyn Hansen, University of Cincinnati; Ted Lawless, Thomson Reuters; Michael Lauruhn, Elsevier; Tim Thompson, Princeton University; Eric Miller, Zepheira; and Carl Stahmer, University of California-Davis. NISO virtual conferences are six-hour events that are held online in a webinar-like format. Two breaks (one for lunch, one mid-afternoon) for the comfort and convenience of attendees are scheduled into the day. You’ll get the time to adequately examine a complex topic from a variety of perspectives with the convenience of virtual participation! Registration: Registration is per site (access for one computer) and closes at 4:00pm (EDT) on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 (the day prior to the conference). Discounts are available to NISO members and students. Can’t be with us for the whole program?
