[Apologies for cross posting] Nga Upoko Tukutuku/Maori Subject Headings E nga Matawaka o te motu tena koutou katoa. After some unexpected delays, we are pleased to announce that the Working Party will once again be actively expanding the thesaurus of Nga Upoko Tukutuku. The Working Party for 2009 is made up of the following members: Charlotte Stretton, Project Leader (National Library of New Zealand) Robyn East (National Library of New Zealand) Judy Keats (National Library of New Zealand) Jacinta Paranihi (National Library of New Zealand) Ann Reweti (Wellington City Libraries) Rangiiria Hedley (Auckland War Memorial Museum) Raewyn Paewai (Manukau Libraries) We are grateful for the many suggestions for new terms submitted by libraries from around New Zealand via our contact address (reo@natlib.govt.nz) and have plenty to work on. The team will be working with these suggestions and we are planning the next release for early 2010. The first meeting of the Working Party will be held in May. We have some technical difficulties with displaying macrons in email, so please excuse their absence. Noho ora mai, na Kim matou ko Charlotte me to ropu o Nga Upoko Tukutuku.
