Kia ora koutou

In February 2024, NLNZ cataloguers began the second phase of our Official RDA training. This phase began with three days of presentations, discussions, quizzes and interactive activities. The presentations and quizzes have been repackaged as Niche Academy tutorials and are now available on the NLNZ Niche Academy site.   https://my.nicheacademy.com/natlib.gov.nz  This second phase of training is a deeper dive into concepts preparing cataloguers for practical training.

NLNZ cataloguers are now well into the practical phase of training and we are planning for implementation. The training resources for this practical training will be made available later in the year.

To hear more about the NLNZ journey to implementation of Official RDA see Anoushka McGuire’s recent presentation https://oclc.wistia.com/medias/awt6os4j02

Please contact nznb@dia.govt.nz  if you have questions about our training materials, or just want to talk about RDA.
