06 Jun '13

Dear colleagues The National Library of New Zealand is planning to conduct a 3-day course Original Cataloguing in RDA at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch from 31 July to 2 August 2013. Three days is not sufficient to cover every aspect of RDA but the course will provide a starting point for original cataloguing in the new standard. It covers the basics of cataloguing using RDA with an emphasis on monographs, as well as use of the online toolkit. Content will be delivered using presentations, discussion and practical exercises. The course is built on materials developed by the National Library of Australia for their Resource Description and Access : train the trainer course. It will held at the University of Canterbury on July 31, August 1 and 2, 2013. The cost to attendees is not finalised but will be limited to catering. Attendees are responsible for their own travel related expenses. Copies of the full documentation will be made available online and should be printed out by attendees prior to the course. In addition, there will be precourse reading. Prerequisites It is expected that those attending the course have an excellent working knowledge of AACR2 and will have access to the RDA toolkit in their library by the end of July 2013. Subscriptions to the toolkit are available to New Zealand libraries via EPIC http://epic.org.nz/about-epic/subscription-options#Opt-in Expressions of interest Places on this pilot course are limited to a maximum of 15 participants, so please register your interest by submitting an expression of interest (EOI) with the following information: · Name and contact details · An indication of what you hope to gain from the training and how you might use it in your library EOIs should be submitted by email to janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> by close of business on Friday 21st June 2013.

by Janess Stewart 22 May '13

22 May '13

CatSIG is currently working with Deborah Fritz from The Marc of Quality to provide training in copy-cataloguing between late August and the end of October 2013. Workshops will be offered as 1-day sessions, both face-to-face and online using the Go To Meeting software. Deborah's course is RDA/MARC for copycats: searching, matching & essential editing. More information on the content may be found at http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html. CatSIG is able to provide substantial sponsorship this year to enable as many librarians as possible to participate in this training, but the final cost to each participant will depend on the level of interest received. Preference will be given to those who have not already completed an Original cataloguing in RDA course. CatSIG asks for expressions of interest providing the following information: Name of participant/s: Library name: Preferred location: Face-to-face or online? Please direct any questions to Janess Stewart at janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> or phone 04-4743118.

Forwarded on behalf of Judith Wenborn - WENBORN, Judith (CHRIPP) <Judith.WENBORN(a)CORRECTIONS.GOVT.NZ> Happy Friday everyone, Its been interesting reading the comments about the RDA training. My colleague Susan Smith and I attended an introductory session in ChCh a couple of yours ago which was very useful, but just a taster really. Unfortunately because of our department's security issues, etc we do not have access to Webinar sessions. Very frustrating as so much training is now offered this way. Like Lynne, we would also appreciate an introductory session with a live person sometime. Maybe a conference session would suit many of us.

Forwarded thanks from Lynne
by Jessie Moir 17 May '13

Here is a message of thanks posted on behalf of Lynne Huddleston: Thanks for getting back to me Janess and thank you to the other Librarians for their helpful comments and suggestions. I suppose that what I was really thinking about was actually a group meeting with a trainer to get a basic idea of how RDA works. So not so much about how or why it was developed, but more about what RDA is and how to actually implement it as simply as possible, with some good hands on examples of how to catalogue using it. Or is it a case of just importing records that are already catalogued in this way? Personally I dislike Webinar sessions, and as you can probably guess I'm not a fan of on-line training either. Having said that, I will certainly use Help buttons, and internet Q & A's etc when I need to. I have clicked on the links you've provided.. and to me it's like another language with all those acronyms. It seems to me that RDA is very difficult, but maybe it's actually not difficult at all, I just don't have a clue about it. I think you just can't beat actually listening to, and being able to ask questions of, a real person who is actually present. That means the trainer can get a feel for the group and tailor their presentation as they go. I know you can ask questions on a Webinar but I find it difficult, you're interrupting the flow of the speaker, it's tricky - almost embarrassing. I don't think I've learnt anything from the Webinars I've participated in, but I've come to grips with Te Puna from just one introductory session with Ann Barrie, and learnt heaps about copyright from another session with Tony Millett, nailed Endnote from a great session with Charlotte Clements and mastered Web of Knowledge with training from Steven Werkheiser...people who are experts in their fields, but who can get down to basics. I'm not suggesting that this is something that is needed right away, but just something that you could possibly bear in mind for the future. Please don't think that this is a criticism of all the excellent material and work you and your colleagues have provided on RDA, it's not at all, I'm just a different target audience from your experienced cataloguers. It's wonderful all the efforts that you all are making to get a new way of doing things up and running Kind regards Lynne ##################################################################################### Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Thank you for the questions that have been posted to the lists about RDA training in response to my email. It is always encouraging to see interest in RDA. For people in Lynne's position, CatSIG recently offered Deborah Fritz's course "Rudimentary RDA" as a webinar and more sessions are planned for August and September. Details about the content of Deborah's course is available at http://www.marcofquality.com/trn/trnindex.html CatSIG is currently in discussion with a provider for courses in using RDA for copy cataloguing. CatSIG will be calling for expressions of interest in the very near future to determine the number and location of cataloguers requiring this training. If anyone is interested in some introductory material about RDA, I recommend the material on the DescribeNZ wiki, in particular the presentations from the CatSIG seminars held last year with Barbara Tillett as the guest presenter. They are all available at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/59180786/Presentations%20from%2… In response to Paul's observation, the 3-day course covers full original cataloguing applying RDA instructions and using the RDA toolkit. We have found that 3 days is necessary to cover the content in sufficient depth. We asked for expressions of interest because this course works best with a small group and we want to make it available to as many different libraries as possible. Regards Janess From: Lynne Huddleston [mailto:Lynne.Huddleston@cawthron.org.nz] Sent: Thursday, 16 May 2013 11:27 a.m. To: Janess Stewart; 'catsig(a)ecs.vuw.ac.nz'; NZ-Libs(a)lists.vuw.ac.nz Subject: RE: Orginal cataloguing in RDA training course Good Morning Janess and fellow Librarians I was just wondering about the possibility of a small-scale course on RDA being made available sometime in the future. Something along the lines of the Te Puna Interloan Training courses that are regularly offered around the country. Say a half or short-day course, something that just covered the very basic basics! My Library doesn't actually buy very many books, so there would be no way I could justify attending a 3-day course. However, the funny thing is that I'd actually like to know what this RDA cataloguing is, and it's just a mystery to me at present... So just throwing the idea out there, and wondering if others would be interested?

Changes to LC/NACO authority records
by Judith Keats 14 Mar '13

14 Mar '13

Dear colleagues, In preparation for Resource Description & Access (RDA), the Library of Congress (LC) has implemented the second phase of changes to their Name Authority File, which also contains name authority records created by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) members including the National Library of New Zealand. Phase 2 changes are automated changes to 1XX access points/headings, 4XX See references and 5XX See also references in authority records that are not acceptable under RDA. These changes include the modification of Bible and Koran headings and the spelling out of abbreviations such as Dept. and months. For full details of the changes, see Summary of programmatic changes to the LC/NACO authority file at http://www.loc.gov/aba/rda/pdf/lcnaf_rdaphase.pdf See references for the AACR2 heading are added to each changed authority record. Some New Zealand examples of 1XX access points/headings that have just been changed are: New Zealand. Department of Conservation University of Canterbury. Department of Civil Engineering Gordon, Harry, 1925 November 9- Warner, Lionel, -1986 Occasional publications (Victoria University of Wellington. Department of Politics) These changes began last week and will continue for the rest of March until all identified access points/headings have been changed. The order of these changes is based on the order in which the authority records were originally created and the change to one authority record does not trigger a change to related authority records or to records with an extension of that name. This means that in the short term 500 See also references in some authority records could be changed before the 100 access point/heading they refer to. These changes will result in a considerable amount of bibliographic file maintenance which will be worked through both globally and manually over the coming weeks. During this time of change, please continue to use the authorised form of access point/heading in your bibliographic records. This email is also available on DescribeNZ at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/32141727/RDA%20Authorities%20pa… Kind regards, Judy Judy Keats Authority Record Co-ordinator Content Services National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua PO Box 1467 Wellington 6140 New Zealand Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4518 Email: judith.keats(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:judith.keats@dia.govt.nz> www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> The National Library’s refurbished Molesworth Street building is now open from, Monday to Saturday 8.30am to 5.00pm.
