29 Mar '15

Good morning all, I just thought I’d pass this on as the June issue of Catapult is so far away. The video of the latest Library of Congress BIBFRAME update forum, which was held at ALA Midwinter on 1 Feb, is now available. It doesn’t seem to be on the official BIBFRAME site yet, but it was posted on Infodocket last week: http://www.infodocket.com/2015/03/23/now-available-video-recording-of-bibli… There’s a little more information about the upcoming LC cataloguing-in-BIBFRAME pilot which will be sometime between May and June, including glimpses of the tools in development.

Cataloguing news for the March issue of Catapult
by Anoushka McGuire 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Good afternoon all, We're getting the March issue together and we are looking for exciting cataloguing news from around the country. If you’ve read something interesting, attended a workshop or watched an inspiring conference presentation and would like to share we’d love to include it too. We are really very keen to do another cataloguer profile for the March issue, and as we’ve exhausted our near colleagues and relatives of near colleagues, we’d really love a volunteer (there may even be a chocolate bribe in it…). If you have something to share with the cataloguing community, could you please send it to one of us before Friday 6th March: Anoushka McGuire anoushka.mcguire(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:anoushka.mcguire@dia.govt.nz> Jenny Hammond jenny.hammond(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:jenny.hammond@dia.govt.nz> Many thanks! Anoushka and Jenny P.S. if you missed our bumper December issue (No. 84) it’s available on the newly revamped DescribeNZ<http://describenz.squarespace.com/new-page-1>.

Nga Upoko Tukutuku Maori Subject headings update, February 2015
by Catherine Amey 15 Feb '15

15 Feb '15

Tena tatou katoa We are pleased to announce that Nga Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Maori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in December 2014. There are 14 new terms that have been added to Nga Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and also a significant number of changed terms. Nga kaupapa hou / New terms * Ana = Caves * Aria whakaako= Pedagogy * Eke hoiho= Horse-riding * Haereere ana = Caving * Haereere awa = River activities * Hokakatanga = Sexual behaviour and identity * Kaituhi = Authors * Kanga = Corn * Mahaki = Humility * Moari = Traditional swings * Poraka = Frogs * Ritenga = Practices, Processes, Rites, Rituals * Whakahihi = Arrogance, Pride, Vanity * Whakataetae hoiho = Equestrian events Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms A number of existing terms have been amended, some of which have been changed significantly. These terms include: *The terms for sexuality and sexual organs have revised to clarify the distinction between physical anatomy and sexual identity. A new term, Hokakatanga has been added to encompass all aspects of sexuality relating to the physical, emotional and mental aspects of sexual behaviour and identity, while the scope of the existing term Taihemahema is now limited to sexual organs. *A new term Kaituhi has been added to refer to authors, writers, and scribes. Previously, authors had been subsumed within the more general term Hunga mahi toi , which denotes artists and creators of all kinds. *A long-standing request for a term for frogs has now been resolved. The term Poraka has been created, and is located as a narrower term of Aitanga pepeke, the domain of insects, arthropods, and hopping and jumping animals. *The scope of the term Tikanga (ceremonies, customs, protocols, traditions) has been revised and a new narrower term Ritenga has been added. The latter describes methods of applying cultural practices, and can also apply to Western ideas of rites and rituals. *The scope notes relating to the atua Tangaroa and Hinemoana have been revised to make it clear that Tangaroa is the guardian of the sea, and all things living in it, while Hinemoana is the embodiment of the deep seas and the guardian of instruments made of seashells. *The scope and relationships of the terms Kirehu (idoms), Kiwaha (colloquial idoms) and Pepeha (tribal mottos) have been clarified and expanded. We apologise for the absence of macrons. It has not been possible to include these, for technical reasons relating to the email client. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>. Na nga kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Is your library using WebDewey?
by Amanda Cossham 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Dear all I am trying to get some indication of how many NZ libraries are currently using WebDewey. This is in the light of a planned revision of the module on DDC in the cataloguing and classification course I teach. I'd like to know whether it's worth while adding in additional content that focuses on WebDewey. Thank you Amanda Amanda Cossham Principal Lecturer School of Social Sciences Open Polytechnic | Kuratini Tuwhera Phone +64 4 9135518 or 0508 650200 ext:5518 | Fax +64 4 9135727 3 Cleary Street, Waterloo | Private Bag 31914, Lower Hutt 5040 http://www.openpolytechnic.ac.nz http://openpolytechnic.academia.edu/AmandaCossham Please consider the environment before printing this email.
