Hi Jessie Perhaps those of us who are able to attend the courses could also make ourselves available to run introductory courses in our areas? Personally I would be happy to commit to that at a time that suits Do you have anyone who may be likely to attend from the Nelson/Marlborough area?

Something along the lines of the Te Puna Interloan Training courses that are regularly offered around the country. Say a half or short-day course, something that just covered the very basic basics! My Library doesn't actually buy very many books, so there would be no way I could justify attending a 3-day course. However, the funny thing is that I'd actually like to know what this RDA cataloguing is, and it's just a mystery to me at present... So just throwing the idea out there, and wondering if others would be interested?
