• Weaving Te Ao Māori and the cataloguing world to provide better access to resources for Māori
  Raewyn Paewai (Rangitane) Turama Resources Limited

Ngā Upoku Tukutuku was developed by the Māori Subject Headings Project, jointly sponsored by LIANZA, Te Rōpū Whakahau, and the National Library.

This talk is an introduction to Ngā Upoko Tukuktu. It is aimed at cataloguers who want to discover how it was created, where to find it, how the thesaurus uses a Māori world view to assign subject headings, and how it benefits users to find items within a framework they relate to.

• Raising the subject - unpacking Library of Congress Subject Headings
  Catherine Amey, Authority Record Coordinator, Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand

How can we most usefully describe what a resource is about? This short talk is an introduction to Library of Congress Subject Headings, their application, limitations and potential. The talk will include a brief discussion of subject analysis, how to read LCSH authority records and the use of topical, geographic, time period and form subdivisions to refine subject access.

  Catherine Amey Authority Record Coordinator, Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library of New Zealand

A window into the creation and updating of name and subject authority records through the NACO (Name Authority Cooperative Organisation) and SACO (Subject Authority Cooperative Organisation) programmes. I will explore how the National Library of New Zealand contributes to NACO and SACO, with some discussion around recording Indigenous names and privacy issues for personal names.

• How and why the Kōtui Cataloguing Working Group creates training videos
  Rebecca Keenan, Cataloguer, Dunedin Public Libraries

Based on Kōtui consortium member requests for training resources, the Cataloguing Working Group (CWG) is creating short training videos, each focused on a specific topic. These are aimed at cataloguing beginners, staff with minimal cataloguing experience, or those looking to refresh/reaffirm their knowledge. In this presentation, we will provide background information about the CWG, outline our project parameters – including topics covered and processes used – and discuss where to from here.

Register to watch the free events live online via Zoom, or to watch the recording afterwards.
