Have your say on shaping future Te Puna services at the Te Puna Libraries’ Forum 31 March, 1 April 2011
by Stewart Janess 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

The National Library is in the early stages of planning a two-day Te Puna Libraries’ Forum. The purpose of these days is threefold: 1. You may be aware that the National Library, in conjunction with a range of libraries around the country, has undertaken work that looked at ways libraries can gain maximum value from their Te Puna subscription. Library leaders are invited to workshop the findings on 1 April. 2. We have invited speakers who will be able to talk about ‘library matters’ from an international perspective * Debbie Campbell who will talk about "Libraries Australia & Trove future plans" * A speaker from OCLC (yet to be confirmed) 1. The first day will be devoted to the main users of Te Puna services: cataloguers and interloan librarians. To help us make this day as useful as possible we would like you to vote (http://www.natlib.govt.nz/surveys/shaping-future-te-puna-services ) for the most important items you’d like to see on the programme. We'd like to hear from you before close-of-business Thursday 16 December. We will send the full report as well as some business model choices for future service delivery in the week prior to the Forum. In the mean time: · put these dates in your diary, · let us know what you’d like to see on the programme, · book some travel &accommodation, www.wellingtonnzcom/<http://www.wellingtonnzcom/> · look at what else Wellington has to offer around those dates, also: www.wellingtonnzcom/<http://www.wellingtonnzcom/> Ruth Miller Customer Support Consultant National Digital Library Phone 4 474 3089 mobile 021 540 978 Te Puna information can be found at www.natlib.govt.nz/librarians<http://www.natlib.govt.nz/librarians>

FW: [NGC4LIB] Guidelines for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books
by Ksenija Obradovic 01 Dec '10

On behalf of Deborah Fritz Ksenija -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Fritz [mailto:deborah@marcofquality.com] Sent: Thursday, 2 December 2010 3:41 a.m. To: Ksenija Obradovic Subject: FW: [NGC4LIB] Guidelines for the assignment of ISBNs to e-books Hi Ksenija, This is very interesting and important information, and interesting that it comes from a library student, in Brazil, reminding us about how global our cataloging world has become. Could you share this link with the CatSIG list for me? It would be very good if everyone who gets MARC records from vendors for e-resources could forward this link to those vendors, to re-inforce the fact that every different version/format of a resource requires its own unique ISBN. This could also be a good opportunity to remind all of the creators of MARC records for e-books, e.g., Serials Solutions, that they must NOT enter the ISBNs for print resources as 'valid' (020$a) in the separate records that they create for e-resources. Also of interest on the linked page is the ISBN-13 converter, very cool: http://isbn-international.org/ia/isbncvt I hope all is well with you.

FW: Status of the US RDA Test

FYI ~~~~ Ksenija Obradovic Cataloguing Manager Te Tumu Herenga The University of Auckland Library Private Bag 92019 Auckland Mail Centre Auckland 1142 New Zealand Telephone (649) 373-7599 ext 85797 Fax (649) 373-7401 http://www.library.auckland.ac.nz From: Kuhagen, Judith [mailto:jkuh@loc.gov] Sent: Wednesday, 1 December 2010 9:21 AM To: catsmail(a)infoserv.inist.fr Subject: [CATSMAIL] Status of the US RDA Test [Forwarding this message on behalf of the US RDA Test Coordinating Committee; please excuse duplication.] = = = = = = = Status of the US RDA Test The record creation phase of the US RDA Implementation test has passed the halfway point. The 26 participating institutions have completed over 55% of the common set records and created more than 2,700 additional RDA bibliographic records. Beginning in January 2011, the US RDA Test Coordinating Committee will analyze the test results and prepare a report with recommendations for their respective senior managers at the Library of Congress (LC), the National Agricultural Library (NAL), and the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The goal is to complete the recommendation phase in March 2011. The senior managers will issue a public report by June 2011. Background on the RDA Implementation Test What is being tested and why? RDA: Resource Description and Access is the content standard for cataloging superseding the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd ed. In 2008, the Library of Congress Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control recommended to the Joint Steering Committee that further new developmental work on RDA be suspended. That did not occur and consequently LC, NAL, and NLM jointly determined that testing based on objective facts was an essential prerequisite to a decision about adopting RDA. LC, NAL, NLM, and 23 partnering institutions are the formal, official test participants. Further details are available at (http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/)<http://www.loc.gov/bibliographic-future/rda/>. What questions are we answering? The test has been designed to answer the following sorts of questions: * Does RDA meet its announced goals? * What is user reaction to the records? * What is the economic impact? o What is the impact on library operations? o What are the direct costs? o What are the training impact and costs? What are the possible decisions? There are four possible outcomes: * Do not implement RDA * Postpone implementation until certain changes are made * Implement RDA * Implement RDA with specific recommended changes or policy decisions for US libraries I'm not a formal participant how can I share my opinions and any RDA records created? The US RDA Test Coordinating Committee has developed an online survey to gather information from informal testers and others who are not part of the testing process. It is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q5968DB
