[Apologies for cross posting] The Wellington seminar is nearly full, but there are still lots of places available at the Auckland seminar. If you are working through the process of getting approval for this, but want to make sure you have a place, please let me know as soon as possible and I will 'pencil you in', pending approval. Remember to let me know whether you're a CatSIG, or a LIANZA personal member, or whether your library is a LIANZA member. Regards Amanda for CatSIG Committee Amanda.Cossham@openpolytechnic.ac.nz _____ CatSIG Professional Development Seminar, July 2007 CatSIG is pleased to announce a one day seminar with an exciting and varied programme of speakers. The Committee is delighted to announce that Deirdre Kiorgaard, Director, Bibliographic Standards and Strategy, National Library of Australia and Chair of the Joint Steering Committee for Revision of Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules will be our key presenter. Ms. Kiorgaard will give two presentations on the JSC's work on RDA as well as a demonstration of how FRBR fits into the model. This will be the only opportunity New Zealand librarians and interested parties will have to hear about these developments before the publication of RDA in 2009. The Committee has achieved a coup in attracting Ms. Kiorgaard whose presentations will be of interest to a wide community and we encourage you to attend. Other presenters are Chris Todd who will regale us with tales from her year in Cambodia on VSA; Leonie Hayes from the University of Auckland will demonstrate ResearchSpace and discuss metadata, cataloguing and repositories and Amanda Cossham from The Open Polytechnic will discuss the rapidly growing discipline of information architecture. 18 July 2007 University of Auckland, Kate Edgar Information Commons 20 July 2007 Archives New Zealand, Wellington Conference programme at http://lianza.org.nz/community/cat-sig/events/profdevelopmentseminar.html Cost including morning and afternoon tea: CatSIG members $70 LIANZA members $90 Others $100 All prices exclude GST.
