Fwd: [NGC4LIB] WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative - Draft for Community Review
by Kim Gutchlag 07 Apr '10

07 Apr '10

[Apologies for cross-posting] I would encourage people to take the opportunity to read and provide feedback on the draft WorldCat record use policy - WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/default.htm> You have until the end of May to provide your feedback. It would also be useful for you to provide feedback to your representative on the Te Puna Strategic Advisory Committee (TPSAC). For a list of members, see http://www.natlib.govt.nz/about-us/friends-advisors/tpsac/?searchterm=tpsac It is worth noting that under the current agreement between OCLC and the National Library of New Zealand, bibliographic records designated in the OCLC database as original cataloguing by any New Zealand library, or bibliographic records derived from a source other than WorldCat by a New Zealand library are excluded from the record reuse policy and are freely transferable. It is also worth noting that this agreement expires at the end of June 2010 and is soon to be renegotiated, but we will be seeking to maintain this exclusion.

Arnold Director of Hesburgh Libraries, University of Notre Dame, USA RE: Next-generation policy for WorldCat records-open for community review DATE: April 7, 2010 The OCLC Record Use Policy Council members have been working for the past few months to develop the next generation of a WorldCat use policy, and we are pleased to announce that the draft document, WorldCat Rights and Responsibilities for the OCLC Cooperative <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/default.htm> , is open for community review. This Council, convened by the OCLC Board of Trustees last September, has produced a new draft document that incorporates many suggestions raised by the community over the past year. For example, rather than using legal language, we have drafted the new policy as a code of good practices, intended to outline the rights and responsibilities of OCLC members with regard to the use of WorldCat records. We intend for this document to help inform the decision-making process for member library leaders as they seek to innovate around the shared resource that is WorldCat. We have sought to encourage the widespread use of WorldCat data while also supporting the viability and utility of WorldCat and the OCLC network of services. The draft policy is not final. Between now and the end of May, we very much want your feedback. We hope you will take the time to review the draft policy carefully, and let us know your thoughts. You can post comments to the community forum <http://community.oclc.org/recorduse> , send an e-mail with your thoughts to recorduse@oclc org<mailto:recorduse@oclc.org> , or register to attend a webinar <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/council/default.htm> where you can ask questions and submit feedback to members of the Record Use Policy Council. We will continue to add content to the accompanying FAQ <http://www.oclc.org/worldcat/catalog/policy/questions/default.htm> as we get more questions from the community review process. We plan to send a revised version of the draft policy to the OCLC Board of Trustees at the end of May for final review and approval. We anticipate that a final document will be published mid-calendar year 2010. Many thanks are due to all the members and librarians who commented over the past year and whose feedback helped us formulate this new document. We would especially like to thank the members of the Record Use Policy Council: · ChewLeng Beh, Global Council Delegate and Chair, OCLC Asia Pacific Regional Council; and Senior Director, Singapore National Library Board, Singapore · Raymond Bérard, Global Council Delegate and Director, ABES, France · Karen Calhoun, Vice President, OCLC WorldCat and Metadata Services, OCLC, USA · Klaus Ceynowa, Global Council Delegate and Deputy Director General, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Germany · Christopher Cole, Global Council Delegate and Associate Director for Technical Services, National Agriculture Library, USA · Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President, OCLC Research and Chief Strategist, OCLC, USA · Nancy Eaton, Dean of University Libraries and Scholarly Communications, Penn State University, USA · Clifford A.

RDA publication
by Chris Todd 18 Feb '10

18 Feb '10

As the RDA launch approaches National Library cataloguers have been following developments in the publication process. The website at www.rdaonline.org now includes information about the RDA Toolkit, U.S. pricing for the RDA Toolkit (but nothing about other countries yet) and updated FAQs. Web videos of the RDA Toolkit: A Guided Tour, webinars given on February 8 and repeated on February 9 are also available. The webinars give a useful outline of the functions available in the toolkit as well as other information about publication. Of particular interest are the opportunities to try RDA for free. Contents of the RDA toolkit will be available at no charge from the launch date (June 2010 at this stage) until August 31 2010. After the complimentary period potential subscribers can sign up for a 30-day free trial account. More details are available from the website. The U.S. National Library testing of RDA will begin after the launch and will take 9 months. - 3 months to learn to use RDA - 3 months using RDA to create records - 3 months for assessment of the results and to release a final report on the testing. This timeline takes us into 2011 before an implementation decision will be reached. The publishers also intend producing more webinars on various aspects of RDA and we will alert the lists as information becomes available.

New Maori Subject Headings
by Kim Gutchlag 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

[Apologies for cross-posting] Tena tatou katoa E nga mana, e nga reo, e nga kaitiaki taonga katoa o Aotearoa, nei ra he maioha na matou o te komiti whiriwhiri o Nga Upoko Tukutuku. Today the Maori Subject Headings thesaurus has been updated online to reflect the work done during 2009. We are pleased to announce 61 brand new terms added to the thesaurus, mostly in the topic area of health. We have also refined the scope notes for some terms to make their usage clearer where it was ambiguous. Much of the work in 2009 was focused on the hierarchical structure and checking that it remained true to the intention to reflect a Maori world view. To this end a few hierarchical changes needed to be made, and in a few cases the scope note for a term needed to be adjusted. The following are a list of affected terms: · Hauora is now a top term above Ora - this now matches to the scope note as originally written, and allows a logical space for the new term Mate. Since there is no change to the stated meaning of either heading, it is unlikely this change will have any effect on its current use in existing records. · Kaumatua and Waka (Whakapapa) and all headings under each have moved within the hierarchy to fit under the top term Whakapapa. There is no change to their stated meanings, so this is unlikely to have any effect on the use of these headings in existing records. · Haurangi has been disestablished and replaced with Haurangitanga. Haurangi is acknowledged as a more commonly used term, but Haurangitanga was felt to better convey the negative aspects of alcoholism. This change will require all use of the term Haurangi to be changed to Haurangitanga. · Tamariki and Taitamariki have had age ranges added to the scope note to clarify when these should be used. This change will require previous usage to be reviewed and may require some entries to be changed appropriately. · Mahi toi and Toi Maori have had significant changes made to their scope notes. There was considerable discussion within the Project Team about the risk involved in making such large changes, but it was felt that it was better to resolve the problems quickly than to allow it to remain wrong. Mahi toi is now the top term to cover all arts, with other topics rearranged under it, while Toi Maori will be restricted to traditional arts. This change will require previous usage to be reviewed and will definitely require some entries to be changed appropriately. In all cases where meaning or scope has changed, the National Library will be reviewing their records and considering the need to change the heading. A notification will be sent out once all required changes have been made on our records. In addition, the National Library will make available a downloadable file of MARC records for all titles with Maori Subject Headings applied. Noho ora mai, na Kim matou ko Charlotte me te komiti o Nga Upoko Tukutuku.
