Join us on a Janeathon?
by Christine Todd 12 May '15

12 May '15

A group of NLNZ cataloguers were intrigued by the “Janeathon” held at the American Library Association’s Mid-winter conference in January. The purpose of the workshop was to: “catalog Jane Austen resources with software specifically designed to use RDA: Resource Description and Access [RIMMF]. 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 details of the original event can be found here<http://www.rdatoolkit.org/janeathon>, and a report on the event is available here<http://www.rda-jsc.org/Jane-athon.html>. We would like to try something similar here in New Zealand and wondered whether any of you would like to join us. CatSig has identified this as an area of interest for New Zealand cataloguers and are adding their support. Thanks to CatSig, we are very fortunate that Deborah Fritz, one of the presenters at the ALA Janeathon, is likely to be present. We are considering holding the event in Wellington just before or just after the National Digital Forum. This year NDF itself is on 13th -14th October. As covered in the information about the original event, 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. You should be prepared, as a minimum, to download the RIMMF software, work through the series of tutorials available on the RIMMF website<http://www.marcofquality.com/wiki/rimmf3/doku.php?id=examples>, and bring along some examples to work with. Ideally, you would be able to bring a laptop with the RIMMF software loaded on it to work with on the day, but being at least a little familiar with the software beforehand is more important. While the cataloguers at the National Library have spent quite a lot of time using RDA, we are novices in the use of RIMMF and still grappling with RDF triples and what it all means for cataloguing. This means that we are not in a position to offer the full range of expertise available at the original Janeathon, but hopefully we can provide a supportive and fun space to explore, trial and learn, and have some interesting and constructive conversations around RDA and linked data. If you are interested, could you please let me know by May 27th. This will help us with working out what kind of space might be needed. Any questions? Please contact me at this email or via the contact information below.

Cataloguing news for the March issue of Catapult
by Anoushka McGuire 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!

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
