TMQ cataloguing workshops for 2010
by Sarah McGuinness 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

CatSIG is pleased to announce another round of The MARC of Quality (TMQ) cataloguing workshops in September and October 2010. Registrations can be sent now, or when we re-advertise at a later date. The following workshops are offered in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin: MARC21 IN YOUR LIBRARY This course is an introduction to MARC21 and how it is meant to work in a library automation system. It explains what the MARC standards are and how those standards tie in with our cataloguing rules (AACR) to help cataloguers create data that will function effectively in a library catalogue. Target audience: directors, reference people, acquisitions people, copy cataloguers, beginning cataloguers, and experienced but untrained cataloguers. There are two discrete parts to MARC21 in your Library: Part One of this course consists of a series of web-casts and web-based mini-courses and covers the underlying fundamentals of MARC and bibliographic information. Duration: approx. 5 hrs; presenter: D. Fritz; site/dates: on-demand, anytime. Click here to access the Part One modules (for free) http://www.marcofquality.com/webinars/webm21.html Part Two of this course consists of three modules, provided through a traditional training session at a physical site and covers the core codes that are most commonly found in MARC records, and their functions. Duration: 1 day. Auckland 13 October 2010 AUT University, room WF 214 Wellington 20 October 2010 Archives New Zealand conference room, Murphy St. Prices: CatSIG members $220 LIANZA members $270 Other $345 JUST FOR COPY CATS (2 Days) Copy cataloguing is not the same as original cataloguing; it has its own special procedures and guidelines to be followed. This workshop provides an introduction to finding cataloguing records that you can copy, explaining some of the more obvious challenges and some neglected database issues, with a brief look at essential editing. You will need to come to the Book Blitz (4 days) workshop to know how to do a really superb job of editing records that you copy, but this workshop will get you started in the basic principles of copy cataloguing. Recommended prerequisites: MARC21 in Your Library. Target audience: acquisitions people, copy cataloguers, beginning cataloguers, and experienced but untrained cataloguers. Auckland 14-15 October 2010 AUT University: 14th Oct: room WF 204; 15th Oct: room WF 614 Wellington 21-22 October 2010 Archives New Zealand conference room, Murphy St. Prices: CatSIG members $440 LIANZA members $540 Other $690 BOOK BLITZ I (4 Days) As it has been said before "good cataloguing doesn't just happen". This workshop gets right down to the details about how to make MARC records that will work well in each and every MARC-based library automation system out there. Recommended prerequisites: MARC21 in Your Library and Just for Copy Cats. Target audience: Copy cataloguers, beginning cataloguers, experienced but untrained cataloguers, and any cataloguers curious about what they might learn.

Prices: CatSIG members $660 LIANZA members $810 Other $1035 **This is the last time this workshop will be offered at the current low rate BOOK BLITZ III (2 Days) We will pick up some interesting loose ends that we were unable to cover in either BBI or BBII, such as: what do I do with typos in descriptive fields and when should I enter information as a subtitle vs a statement of responsibility? Then we will move on to some slightly more complex matters, concentrating primarily on the sources of information, bibliographic description, and access points for single works in multiple units (e.g., multi -volume sets), multiple works in single units (e.g., collections, with or without a collective title), and multiple works in multiple units (e.g., monographic sets vs series). We'll keep one eye on the future and use RDA (the next version of AACR) and FRBR (the new approach to organizing your OPAC) terminology wherever it is appropriate. Recommended prerequisites: Book Blitz I and Book Blitz II. Attendees are strongly advised to attend Book Blitz I and Book Blitz II before coming to this workshop. Target audience: Intermediate cataloguers, and experienced cataloguers needing training in this area. Required text: “Cataloguing with AACR2 and MARC21” by Deborah A. Fritz.

Maori Subject Headings update
by Charlotte Stretton 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Message for list: [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. Following the release of 61 new terms in February, the National Library has created a file of all National Library catalogue records which use Maori Subject Headings. All of the headings that were affected due to the changes in February have been corrected in the file, so this is now up to date. The file will be available on the index page of the MSH thesaurus (http://mshupoko.natlib.govt.nz/mshupoko/index.htm) from today in either unicode UTF-8 or non-unicode MARC8 format, and can be used to update existing records. In other news, the Maori Subject Headings Project Team met in April for the first meeting of the year, where work continued on the list of requested terms. The focus areas for 2010 were decided to be: -Church -Social work -Nursing -Education -Sport -Media & Technology. Work was also done on some other headings, mainly animals. We hope to make these new headings publicly available shortly and will announce when that happens. The Maori Subject Headings Project Team have three meetings per year to work on the requested headings. The remaining meetings in 2010 are expected to be held in July and October.

CU staff cuts
by Peter Hosking 03 May '10

03 May '10

Dear all, You may have heard of the change proposal that was presented to staff at CU last week. 35 positions are disestablished and 18 new ones will be created. The following is an outline of how it impacts on Collection Services at Canterbury. Our present structure consists of three teams. Two for monographs and one for serials. We have 11 staff at assistant librarian level or above. All have been disestablished with the exception of the Asian Languages Collection Librarian. The proposed new structure will consist of an acquisitions team and a "resources discovery" (i.e. cataloguing) team. There will be 9 new positions in the new structure, however, one of these positions has Interloans duties because the Interloans team has also been disestablished in the change proposal. Interloans has previously been part of Lending Services but will now be carried out by the acquisitions team. The new Resource Discovery team will consist of a team leader, 4 assistant librarians and the Asian Languages Collection Librarian, plus some library assistants (the number is not specified in the proposal). The institutional Repository Coordinator will also report to the team leader. Previously the IR coordinator was based in Library IT. The team will catalogue all formats. At present we have seven librarians who catalogue, plus two team leaders who catalogue when time permits. In the new structure there will be five librarians cataloguing, plus one team leader. This is a significant reduction in cataloguing staff numbers for us. CU has had a serials cataloguer since 1976. This position is now disestablished and serials cataloguing will be shared among the Resource Discovery team. Among our cataloguers we also have specialists in music, law, European languages, and electronic resources. None of these specialities are mentioned in the change proposal. The Collection Services Manager position has been disestablished and will be replaced by the new position of Support Services Library Manager. The new manager will be expected to deputize for the Library Manager in his/her absence as well as manage Support Services. We would like to acknowledge the messages of support that we have received from our colleagues in other libraries and greatly appreciate this.
