Have your say on shaping future Te Puna services at the Te Puna Libraries’ Forum 31 March, 1 April 2011
by Stewart Janess 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

The National Library is in the early stages of planning a two-day Te Puna Libraries’ Forum. The purpose of these days is threefold: 1. You may be aware that the National Library, in conjunction with a range of libraries around the country, has undertaken work that looked at ways libraries can gain maximum value from their Te Puna subscription. Library leaders are invited to workshop the findings on 1 April. 2. We have invited speakers who will be able to talk about ‘library matters’ from an international perspective * Debbie Campbell who will talk about "Libraries Australia & Trove future plans" * A speaker from OCLC (yet to be confirmed) 1. The first day will be devoted to the main users of Te Puna services: cataloguers and interloan librarians. To help us make this day as useful as possible we would like you to vote (http://www.natlib.govt.nz/surveys/shaping-future-te-puna-services ) for the most important items you’d like to see on the programme. We'd like to hear from you before close-of-business Thursday 16 December. We will send the full report as well as some business model choices for future service delivery in the week prior to the Forum. In the mean time: · put these dates in your diary, · let us know what you’d like to see on the programme, · book some travel &accommodation, www.wellingtonnzcom/<http://www.wellingtonnzcom/> · look at what else Wellington has to offer around those dates, also: www.wellingtonnzcom/<http://www.wellingtonnzcom/> Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant National Digital Library Phone 4 474 3089 mobile 021 540 978 Te Puna information can be found at www.natlib.govt.nz/librarians<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/librarians>

FW: [NGC4LIB] Guidelines for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books

On behalf of Deborah Fritz Ksenija -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Fritz [mailto:deborah@marcofquality.com] Sent: Thursday, 2 December 2010 3:41 a.m. To: Ksenija Obradovic Subject: FW: [NGC4LIB] Guidelines for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books Hi Ksenija, This is very interesting and important information, and interesting that it comes from a library student, in Brazil, reminding us about how global our cataloging world has become. Could you share this link with the CatSIG list for me? It would be very good if everyone who gets MARC records from vendors for e-resources could forward this link to those vendors, to re-inforce the fact that every different version/format of a resource requires its own unique ISBN. This could also be a good opportunity to remind all of the creators of MARC records for e-books, e.g., Serials Solutions, that they must NOT enter the ISBNs for print resources as 'valid' (020$a) in the separate records that they create for e-resources. Also of interest on the linked page is the ISBN-13 converter, very cool: http://isbn-international.org/ia/isbncvt I hope all is well with you.

FW: Status of the US RDA Test

The 26 participating institutions have completed over 55% of the common set records and created more than 2,700 additional RDA bibliographic records. Beginning in January 2011, the US RDA Test Coordinating Committee will analyze the test results and prepare a report with recommendations for their respective senior managers at the Library of Congress (LC), the National Agricultural Library (NAL), and the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The goal is to complete the recommendation phase in March 2011. The senior managers will issue a public report by June 2011. Background on the RDA Implementation Test What is being tested and why? RDA: Resource Description and Access is the content standard for cataloging superseding the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed. In 2008, the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control recommended to the Joint Steering Committee that further new developmental work on RDA be suspended. That did not occur and consequently LC, NAL, and NLM jointly determined that testing based on objective facts was an essential prerequisite to a decision about adopting RDA. LC, NAL, NLM, and 23 partnering institutions are the formal, official test participants. Further details are available at (http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/)<http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/>. What questions are we answering? The test has been designed to answer the following sorts of questions: * Does RDA meet its announced goals? * What is user reaction to the records? * What is the economic impact? o What is the impact on library operations? o What are the direct costs? o What are the training impact and costs? What are the possible decisions? There are four possible outcomes: * Do not implement RDA * Postpone implementation until certain changes are made * Implement RDA * Implement RDA with specific recommended changes or policy decisions for US libraries I'm not a formal participant how can I share my opinions and any RDA records created? The US RDA Test Coordinating Committee has developed an online survey to gather information from informal testers and others who are not part of the testing process.

RDA update November 2010
by Chris Todd 17 Nov '10

17 Nov '10

Dear Cataloguers, There has been a flurry of news and activity around RDA recently and here is a summary for you. This will also be posted on the DescribeNZ wiki. 1. Implementation timeline The implementation timeline for RDA has been extended as a result of the US National Libraries test process. The report of the test will be released late in June 2011. LC will be announcing their implementation decision in late June 2011 and the other partner libraries in the RDA development (National Library of Australia, the British Library and Libraries and Archives Canada) will announce their decisions sometime between July and September 2011. This means that widespread implementation is unlikely until around the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2012. 2. NLNZ and RDA As a result of the extension of this timeline the NLNZ cataloguers will be changing our approach to RDA. We will take a break from our examination of RDA core elements and creation of practice records during December and January. We will be picking up the work on core elements some time in February and will continue to monitor reports and news about RDA. 3. Australian Committee on Cataloguing (ACOC) - The 2010 ACOC seminar was held in Canberra on October 21st and the presentations are now available on the ACOC website at http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/papers2010.html - ACOC RDA page. The ACOC website also includes an updated page on RDA with a good range of resources to look at. http://www.nla.gov.au/lis/stndrds/grps/acoc/rda.html 4. IAML New Zealand seminar The International Association of Music Librarians New Zealand seminar was held in Auckland on November 4-5. Charlotte Stretton and Chris Todd developed a presentation giving an overview of RDA and some of its impact on music cataloguing. The slides for this presentation will be available shortly on the RDA page of the DescribeNZ wiki http://www.describe.org.nz/ 5. RDA Webinars The most recent webinar was held on November 10th: RDA Toolkit - what's new since August http://www.rdatoolkit.org/Webinar/2010Nov (10th November) Full recording available via the website link.

RDA authority records
by Judith Keats 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Dear colleagues, The following announcement has been posted to Describe NZ, the wiki for New Zealand cataloguers and metadata professionals at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/32141727/RDA-Authorities-page We are now seeing RDA test authority records on our databases. These are being created as part of the RDA test for headings which are used in bibliographic records created following RDA guidelines and Library of Congress policy statements. The RDA test is being undertaken by a relatively small number of agencies (less than 30) and it was decided that the test would not be a proper one if it was not conducted in a live database and the set of records were not fully RDA. The RDA authority records have RDA in the 040 field to show that they are part of the test. They may also contain some of the new MARC fields but they do not otherwise indicate that they are RDA test authority records. You may notice that some AACR2 authority records have a 7XX field with 4 in the second indicator showing the RDA form of the name heading. Some RDA headings are the same as the AACR2 one but others are not. For an example of an RDA heading which is different, see the AACR2 authority record for King, M.G. (National Union Catalogue authority number 1065571), which includes a 700 1 4 for King, M.G. (Michael G.). This RDA heading has been created following RDA and the LC policy statement 9.19.1.4. which states that the LC practice for the optional addition is to add a fuller form of name even if it is not needed to distinguish between access points. You may also find that a new RDA authority record for a name/title heading will use the RDA form of the name heading in that authority record. For example, there is now an RDA name/title authority record for Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, approximately 4 B.C.-65 A.D. Correspondence (National Union Catalogue authority number 8463612). The existing AACR2 form of name heading is Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, ca. 4 B.C.-65 A.D. ((National Union Catalogue authority number 286941). In the case of corporate body name headings, there may be a new RDA authority for a subordinate body and the RDA form of the parent body name heading is different from the AACR2 form of heading. For example, an RDA authority record has been created for North Dakota. Department of Human Services. Rehabilitation Consulting & Services (National Union Catalogue authority number 8457632). The AACR2 form of heading for the parent body is North Dakota. Dept. of Human Services (National Union Catalogue authority number 989962). The National Library of New Zealand is not part of the RDA test and has not as yet used any of these new RDA authorised headings in bibliographic records. However we have decided that we will follow all NACO authority records whether they have been created following AACR2 or RDA on the grounds that this seems to be the option that creates the least confusion for library users. By taking this decision, we are remaining consistent in our use of authority records for headings in bibliographic records.
