Resources and Suggestions for Cataloguing and Acquisitions Work
Hello everyone, Please ignore my last post. I don’t know why it was scrubbed and uploaded as an HTML attachement. I would like some suggestions on professional resources, as I would love to work in acquisitions, search librarianship, or especially cataloguing in the near future and was wondering if there are any updated textbooks or resources I should look at, meetings or people I could talk to (I understand RDA and MARC have had some updates recently too)? I have copies of Developing Library and Information Center Collections and Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management (2014-2016 editions). I have graduated with the level 5 diploma in library and information studies and an MIS and have recently obtained work in IM/ records management, but I want to keep my interests and options open. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you, Benjamin.
Kia ora Benjamin,
The August issue of Catapult (newsletter of the LIANZA Cataloguing Special Interest Group) should be up soon at https://lianza.org.nz/resources/describenz/catapult/ (granted LIANZA staff are able to upload to the site during lockdown). It will have a number of related resources that may be able to help you, and past issues will as well. I will be posting to this list once it is up on the site.
This document may be a good place to start and hopefully others have some ideas as well.
