[Apologies for cross posting] A reminder to those attending these CatSIG seminars that they are next week - Auckland on Wednesday and Wellington on Friday. Details of the locations can be found on this page on the LIANZA website http://lianza.org.nz/community/cat-sig/events/profdevelopmentseminar.html (scroll to the bottom). There are still places left for the Auckland seminar - please get in touch with me as soon as possible if you wish to attend. If you have registered but decided not to attend (or are unable to do so for some reason), again, let me know. I have a small waiting list for Wellington.

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.
