For those who may not have received this via NZ-libs yesterday -----Original Message----- From: nz-libs-bounces@lists.vuw.ac.nz [mailto:nz-libs-bounces@lists.vuw.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Kaye Foran Sent: Thursday, 6 August 2015 15:03 PM To: 'NZ-Libs@lists.vuw.ac.nz' Subject: [NZ-Libs] Te Puna Replacement Project Vendor Announcement Good afternoon We are pleased to advise that OCLC has been selected to provide an externally hosted service to enable the National Library to provide up-to-date Te Puna Services, using a modern, next-generation system designed to meet members’ cataloguing and resource sharing needs. The system will provide: • Worldshare Metadata Services including a range of cataloguing applications and; • WorldCat Discovery including access to all WorldCat records and holdings and will also provide a separate view of the combined catalogue of New Zealand libraries (the equivalent of the National Union Catalogue.) This will be linked to Te Puna Interloan. Implementation is expected to start in August of this year and go-live is scheduled for June 2016. There will be regular communication and updates on how this will affect you as the implementation project proceeds including details about training opportunities. National Library will continue to provide first line support of Te Puna services in the new environment. If you have specific questions or feedback, there are a number of channels available: 1. Te Puna Replacement Project page on the National Library website http://natlib.govt.nz/librarians/te-puna/te-puna-replacement-project which includes: • Contact details for the Te Puna Replacement Project Reference group, who will continue to provide advice during the implementation stage. • FAQs which will continue to grow as the implementation proceeds. 2. Contact tepuna@dia.govt.nz 3. Subscribe to tepuna-l listserv for upcoming news and information about the implementation. 4. Subscribe to tepunapartners-l to discuss strategic issues related to Te Puna.
