FORWARDED ON BEHALF OF Robin Pitkethley. Please reply to: Robyn P. Pitkethley [Robyn.Pitkethley(a)waidc.govt.nz] Hello, We at Waikato District Libraries (Huntly) are struggling to know what to do about RDA. We missed out on the training in 2012 - are there any more training sessions coming up? We are noticing some bib. records coming through with the new 300 fields. Please help! We don't know what we're doing!

The goal of this temporary project (it will run during 2013) is to support the work of the Library of Congress, OCLC, and others in determining what the future of bibliographic description will hold. It is now available at <http://experimental.oclc.org/marcusage/> and any feedback or requests for specific reports are welcome. Any of you eager to know just how often a MARC field or subfield occurs in WorldCat? Check it out! - Karen

Pilot RDA cataloguing course
by Janess Stewart 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Apologies for cross-posting. Dear colleagues The National Library of New Zealand (NLNZ) is planning to conduct a pilot course in Original Cataloguing in RDA in Dunedin in February 2013. The intention is that, if successful, this would be followed by courses in other parts of the country. The NLNZ intends to transition from cataloguing with AACR2 to RDA around April 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 will use the materials developed by the National Library of Australia for their Resouce Description and Access : train the trainer course. It will held at the University of Otago on February 19, 20 and 21, 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 February 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 12 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 Thursday 24 January 2013. Allocation of course places A notification of your course enrolment will be sent to you after the EOI period has closed. In the event that a course is over subscribed, other applicants will be placed on a waiting list and notified of the situation. Individuals will be informed if a place becomes available. Further information I am on leave in the new year until January 22nd, so any enquiries about the course during that time should be directed to Chris Todd by email at chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:chris.rae.todd@dia.govt.nz> or by phone on (04) 4743093.
