LIANZA CAT SIG - CATALOGUING UPDATE AND DISCUSSION FORUM Tuesday May 20, 10.00AM-11.00AM It has been a while since cataloguers have had a chance to get together to kōrero about cataloguing issues, and a lot has been going on! This is an opportunity to come together virtually to discuss what’s happening in the cataloguing world, including the progress of Official RDA. As a starting point, these are some discussion questions we want to discuss: Cataloguing in general * Are you a sole cataloguer, or are you in a team? * How much cataloguing is a part of your role? * How much original / copy / [other] cataloguing do you do? * What has changed over the last few years with respect to cataloguing in your institution? * What challenges are at the forefront of your mind and your colleagues ' minds? * Do you feel you have enough cataloguing support in your role? Official RDA * Have you had a chance to engage with official RDA, e.g. in training, reading, or watching webinars? * What changes have you seen coming through in catalogue records (e.g. NLNZ official RDA implementation)? * How have these changes affected what you do? * What approach have you taken to decide how to respond to the changes? * Have you started original cataloguing using Official RDA Communication * How much communication do you have with cataloguers outside of your institution? * Would it be helpful to have more communication? * What ways? If you can’t make it but want to send some feedback, contact catsigcommittee@gmail.com<mailto:catsigcommittee@gmail.com>.

Hello, I am a member of the Cataloguing Ethics Steering Committee <https://sites.google.com/view/cataloging-ethics/home> and recently published an article <https://journals.cilip.org.uk/catalogue-and-index/article/view/676> on the Cataloguing Code of Ethics 2021 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IBz7nXQPfr3U1P6Xiar9cLAkzoNX_P9fq7eHvzfSlZ0/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0#heading=h.vtdt667wn9cc> In the article I review the document's use since publication and consider how it might evolve. As a Committee we have continued since 2021 to advocate for the use of the Code by cataloguers and metadata managers globally. We have been so grateful for the dedication and support of colleagues in South Africa, Australia and Canada, amongst many others, who have considered the Code's applicability to their particular historical contexts. These national discussions and consultations have resulted in essential feedback confirming our view that the next iteration of the Code should be written with the co-operation of IFLA's international membership base - so that the Code can be representative of more nations and peoples. Whilst we move to engage IFLA with this vision it would be wonderful to receive the views of cataloguers and metadata managers in New Zealand on the Code. Feedback can be sent to me for distribution to the CESC. Kind regards, Jane Daniels - Cataloguing Ethics Steering Committee - UK Representative.

*Official RDA*
- Have you had a chance to engage with official RDA, e.g. in training, reading, or watching webinars? - What changes have you seen coming through in catalogue records (e.g. NLNZ official RDA implementation)? - How have these changes affected what you do? - What approach have you taken to decide how to respond to the changes? - Have you started original cataloguing using Official RDA
*Communication*
- How much communication do you have with cataloguers outside of your institution? - Would it be helpful to have more communication? - What ways?
