LIANZA CatSIG is planning a series of quarterly discussion sessions to follow on from a really great catch-up in May. We came away from this catch-up with some key topics to focus discussions on going forward:
August 2025
Education and professional development: what’s available and what needs aren’t being met in New Zealand?
November 2025
Systems: comparing notes on LMSs
February 2026
Reparative description: problematic terminology and how do you identify and deal with it?
May 2026
Discovery: making the metadata work for the public view
Registrations for our next quarterly discussion session on Education will be open next month, so look out for this.
If you have an ideas for discussion points, please send them through to catsigcommittee@gmail.com.
Please feel free to forward this to your colleagues and cataloguing associates who may not be on the CatSIG list.
