Changes to LC/NACO authority records
by Judith Keats 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Dear colleagues, In preparation for RDA, the Library of Congress (LC) has implemented two phases of changes to their Name Authority File, which also contains name authority records created by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) members. Phase 1 of the programmatic changes to the LC/NACO Name Authority File has recently been completed and the revised authority records have been added to the National Union Catalogue (NUC). This first phase involved authority records that have 1XX fields that cannot be used in RDA bibliographic records without review and that cannot be changed mechanically. The 1XX has not changed but a 667 has been added to say that the record cannot be used under RDA until it has been reviewed or updated. This phase affected over 400,000 authority records. Cataloguers working in the NUC will see authority records that contain the following 667 field: THIS 1XX FIELD CANNOT BE USED UNDER RDA UNTIL THIS RECORD HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND/OR UPDATED Some examples are: SJD (Musician) Ihimaera, Witi, 1944- Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand Please note that the name headings in these authority records are still valid for use in AACR2 bibliographic records. The NACO Team at the National Library of New Zealand can identify those changed authority records with an Nz in the 040 and will review these when they have finished their training in RDA authority records. The second phase will start as close to Day 1 of RDA implementation (i.e. March 31, 2013) as possible and will involve modifying AACR2 authority records with 1XX, 4XX and 5XX fields that can be changed mechanically, e.g. changing Dept. to Department and b. to born. These changed authority records will be updated in the NUC as we receive them. Both these phases will involve a relatively small proportion of authority records. The vast majority of AACR2 authority records have headings that can be used under RDA without modification and these will be re-coded as RDA authority records after March 2013.

RDA Training Options
by Chris Rae Todd 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

The National Library is looking for expressions of interest from cataloguers interested in developing ideas around RDA training in New Zealand. This will include identification of existing training opportunities, training providers and relevant materials. We will also be looking for information on the training needs of different types and sizes of library as a followup to the training survey of 2010. We are not expecting the members of this group to write or develop training materials. We're looking for your ideas, your opinions of existing training materials and your ability to identify any gaps in training options. At this stage we anticipate that communication will be by email, rather than face-to-face meetings. If you are interested please contact me by August 17th. Many thanks Chris Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz ==== CAUTION: This email message and any attachments contain information that may be confidential and may be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.
