[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.

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.
