Are you thinking about studying in 2011? You may be currently completing a library qualification or looking for professional development opportunities.
CatSIG is offering two opportunities for sponsorship in the following cataloguing course:
***72272 Cataloguing and Classification This course builds on and enhances library skills by introducing you to the principles and practice of cataloguing and classification. It is designed to enable you to apply international standards in the creation of catalogue records. You will also be able to analyse the international standards and to develop a critical understanding of the contemporary issues affecting cataloguing and catalogue management. This course is run by the Open Polytechnic from July 2011 and is a distance learning course.

Wheelers is a library supplier providing outsourced cataloguing and
processing services for public libraries throughout New Zealand. We are
growing and recently relocated to Glenfield - an easy commute from the city!
We advertised recently for cataloguers and have one vacancy left. We are
seeking an experienced cataloguer to work on a casual basis, with evening
work or work from home available after initial training. You should have a
thorough knowledge of AACR2, MARC21, LCSH, LCNA, and Dewey 22. Experience at
original cataloguing would be an advantage but not essential.
Experience with Symphony would be an advantage, but training will be
provided.
The pay rate is competitive, and will be commensurate with skills and
experience.
