[Apologies for cross posting] Nga Upoko Tukutuku / Maori Subject Headings E nga mata waka o te motu, tena koutou katoa. We are pleased to announce the arrival of an updated version of Nga Upoko Tukutuku. The principal changes are: o A clearer display, including the interfiling of words with and without macrons o Easier navigation within the list of headings o Some new scope notes and the revision of several existing ones (see below) o The addition of new terms requested by users (see below) We would also like to alert people that, owing to the software upgrade, any bookmarks to individual terms will be lost. We apologise for the inconvenience and are working with the vendors to try and prevent this happening with further upgrades.The website is still found at http://mshupoko.natlib.govt.nz/ We would like to thank people for their ongoing suggestions for new terms. We are shortly to begin assembling a team to develop the next group of headings, so please keep sending suggestions to reo@natlib.govt.nz. Scope notes Scope notes have been added to some terms which have the potential to be applied as either an example of the topic or about the topic. For example: Pakiwaitara. Fictional stories of Maori as opposed to historical or legendary, modern fiction. This heading can be used for examples of fiction or for works about fiction. Purakau. Traditional, historical and legendary stories of Maori. 'True' stories as opposed to fictional. Can be used for examples of traditional, historical and legendary stories, or for works about these stories. We have difficulty with macrons in email, so please excuse their absence. Noho ora ra, na matou, na Kim me te ropu o Nga Upoko Tukutuku.
