[VUW MIS research project] Survey: Cataloguers' use/non use of social media
by Jessie Moir 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

(Forwarded by J. Moir) Apologies for cross-posting [cid:image001.jpg@01CCF5F8.40720310] My name is Bridgit Siddall and I am a Masters of Information Studies student at Victoria University of Wellington. As part of this degree I am undertaking the INFO 580 research project. The project I am undertaking focuses on the use of specific social media, specifically blogs, wikis, forums, and electronic mailing lists by cataloguers as a means of seeking answers to/discussion about cataloguing-specific questions and issues. The data collected from this survey will be used to examine the frequency with which social media are used by cataloguers to seek out answers to cataloguing-specific questions and problems. It is my hope that the project will provide some insight into whether social media play a role in cataloguers' day-to-day functioning at work. Your participation in this survey would be much appreciated. Data collection involves an online survey that should take no more than 10-15 minutes to fill out. Your responses will be anonymous and no personal information is sought in the survey. Your response to the questionnaire will be taken as consent that the data you have supplied can be used in the final report. The final report will contain aggregated data and care will be taken that no information that might identify a particular respondent appears in that report. No other person besides me and my supervisor, Dr Chern Li Liew, will see the spreadsheet containing responses to the questionnaire. The report will be submitted for marking to the School of Information Management and deposited in the University Library. The report may also be put forward for publication or presented at a professional conference. Questionnaires will be destroyed two years after the end of the project. If you have any questions or would like to receive further information about the project, please contact me at siddalbrid(a)myvuw.ac.nz<mailto:siddalbrid@myvuw.ac.nz> or my supervisor, Dr Chern Li Liew at ChernLi.Liew(a)vuw.ac.nz<mailto:ChernLi.Liew@vuw.ac.nz> at the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington.

Hi everyone, We have added a page on Describe NZ for Nga Upoko Tukutuku/Maori Subject Headings<http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/47666034/Maori%20Subject%20Head…> which we hope will be a useful reference to cataloguers looking for the site or related information. Please note the request for feedback: we're developing some training in the use of the headings and would like to hear if there's anything in particular you would like us to make sure we cover. Feedback can be sent to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> Additionally, a question was asked at the CatSIG AGM about the availability of older records with Maori Subject Headings added retrospectively. A file of records sourced from the National Union Catalogue is available for download from Nga Upoko Tukutuku<http://mshupoko.natlib.govt.nz/>'s website. The file includes some work done in a retrospective project done by Victoria University of Wellington. If your library has completed, or is working on, such a retrospective project we'd love to hear from you so we can include your work in future files - please contact us at reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> Charlotte Stretton, RLIANZA Te Whakakaokao Team Leader (Maori Subject Headings Working Group) Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa | National Library of New Zealand Te Tari Taiwhenua |The Department of Internal Affairs Direct Dial: +64 4 470 4484 Extn: 3484 www.dia.govt.nz<http://www.dia.govt.nz/> | www.natlib.govt.nz<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/> | mshupoko.natlib.govt.nz<http://mshupoko.natlib.govt.nz/> [Please note: macrons omitted to avoid issues for older email systems] ==== CAUTION: This email message and any attachments contain information that may be confidential and may be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.
