OCLC initiative: mid-May progress report
by Janess Stewart 16 May '07

16 May '07

Good afternoon Te Puna users (this message is posted on TePuna-L; nz-libs and CATSIG) Thank you to those librarians who have sent the National Library questions about the OCLC initiative. Last week was a bumper crop. If you, too, would like to find the answers to such questions as: * If we update any serial holdings in NUC, will we also have to amend them in OCLC? * Will OCLC be set up as a gateway through Te Puna like ABN or will we access OCLC independently via the Connexion Client/Cat Express etc? * How do I find out my library symbol on OCLC and what happens if I want different holdings shown on WorldCat to the NUC? you will need to go to the latest FAQ ( http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/news/future.htm ) for the answers If your question has not yet been posed please get in touch with either Ruth Miller (ruth.miller(a)natlib.govt.nz)or Sarah Barnett (sarah.barnett(a)natlib.govt.nz) What else is happening? On Thursday 17 May a number of Wellington librarians have kindly agreed to form a working group to review the documentation that will be supplied to libraries as part of the June OCLC Roadshow. The Road Show will promote the agreement, answer any questions and help libraries decide on what cataloguing workflow will be best for them. Watch this space for Roadshow information in the coming weeks. Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant Digital Solutions National Library of New Zealand P.O.

OCLC initiative: More questions and answers
by Janess Stewart 11 May '07

11 May '07

This message has been posted on Te Puna-L; NZ-LIBS and CATSIG The National Library is pleased at the level of interest that is being shown in the OCLC initiative by librarians around the country. As a result, we have fielded a number of new questions and have endeavoured to find useful answers for potential users of OCLC's cataloguing services. To make it easy for you to see the new queries we have placed them at the top of the OCLC FAQ (which you will find at http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/news/future.htm ), rather than integrating them. Each new batch will be highlighted in this way. Keep those questions coming! Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant Digital Solutions National Library of New Zealand P.O. Box 1467 Wellington 6140 Email: ruth.miller(a)natlib.govt.nz Telephone: +64 4 474 3089 Mobile: 021 540 978 Read latest Te Puna news at http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz/

News update on RDA
by Paul Staincliffe 03 May '07

03 May '07

Colleagues Seen the advert for the CatSIG seminar? Still confused about RDA? This has just been announced: There has been a major agreement that the RDA and Dublin Core communities will work together in the following ways: * develop a formal RDA Element vocabulary (probably following the DC Abstract Model) * develop an application profile of RDA for Dublin Core using FRBR and FRAD * use RDF Resource Description Framework) and SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organisation System) to disclose RDA vocabularies To quote Karen Coyle "This is truly an amazing development, and I think it begins a new phase in our profession."

OCLC Initiative
by Janess Stewart 02 May '07

02 May '07

Good afternoon (also posted on TePuna-L, CatSig, and nzlibs) National Library is pleased to report that we are approaching a significant milestone with the National Library /OCLC partnership arrangement. The initial load of the National Union Catalogue to WorldCat will be exported from the Library within the week. With this in mind, we advise that this load (and all subsequent ones) from National Library to WorldCat will reflect holdings at branch symbol level. National Library has provided OCLC with a list of all Te Puna libraries' symbols for OCLC to profile and assign an OCLC identifier to. This means that your branch library will also have a separate identity on WorldCat.org that reflects the way holdings in the National Union Catalogue are currently displayed. If you have any queries about this please get in touch with either Ruth Miller (Ruth.miller(a)natlib.govt.nz )or Sarah Barnett (Sarah.barnett(a)natlib.govt.nz) Digital Solutions National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga o Aotearoa Wellington, New Zealand http://subscribers.natlib.govt.nz Tollfree: 0508 837 862 Facsimile: +64 4 474 3042
