RDA at ALA 2011
by Sarah Knox 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

From: Chris Rae Todd Sent: Monday, 22 August 2011 1:06 p.m. To: 'catsig(a)mcs.vuw.ac.nz' Subject: RDA at ALA 2011 I was very fortunate to be able to attend the American Library Association's annual conference in New Orleans this June. RDA featured prominently in the programme, to such an extent that I was unable to attend all the RDA-related sessions because of clashes. I did attend a two-day pre-conference workshop on the application of RDA to a range of library resources. This was a real dive into the detail of RDA as it can be applied using the MARC21 format in our current library systems. The conference proper included an RDA update forum where the US national libraries' decision to postpone implementation of RDA until at least 2013 was explained and discussed. Another noteworthy topic at the conference was linked data. I counted 10 sessions that included mention of linked data and some delegates were calling this "the linked data ALA". Programme clashes limited the number of sessions I was able to attend, but I have followed up some of the presentations in my conference report. We are very fortunate that one of the key speakers on linked data at ALA, Karen Coyle, is a keynote speaker at this year's LIANZA conference. My third area of interest was subject access and I attended a number of presentations that were part of a two-day meeting of the Subject Analysis Committee of the ALCTS (Association for Library Collections & Technical Services). My main interest here was to find out more about the new genre/form headings being developed by the Library of Congress. The specific areas of interest for the National Library are headings for literature and music.

03 Aug '11

CatSIG is pleased to announce another round of The MARC of Quality (TMQ) cataloguing workshops in September 2011. Registrations can be sent now, or when we re-advertise at a later date. This year, the following workshops will be offered as concurrent on-site sessions (in Auckland) + live webinars in September: MARC21 IN YOUR LIBRARY This course is an introduction to MARC21 and how it is meant to work in a library automation system. It explains what the MARC standards are and how those standards tie in with our cataloguing rules (AACR) to help cataloguers create data that will function effectively in a library catalogue. Target audience: directors, reference people, acquisitions people, copy cataloguers, beginning cataloguers, and experienced but untrained cataloguers. There are two discrete parts to MARC21 in your Library: Part One of this course consists of a series of web-casts and web-based mini-courses and covers the underlying fundamentals of MARC and bibliographic information. Duration: approx. 5 hrs; presenter: D. Fritz; site/dates: on-demand, anytime. Click here to access the Part One modules<http://www.marcofquality.com/webinars/webm21.html> (for free) Part Two of this course is provided as a one-day, face-to-face, training session at a host site, which is also concurrently available as a live, online broadcast, and covers the core codes that are most commonly found in MARC records, and their functions. Onsite Auckland option 28 September 2011 (venue to be announced) Concurrent live webinar option 28 September 2011 Prices: Onsite Auckland option (meals included): CatSIG members $220 LIANZA members $270 Other $345 Live webinar option: CatSIG members $150 LIANZA members $200 Other $250 JUST FOR COPY CATS (2 Days) Copy cataloguing is not the same as original cataloguing; it has its own special procedures and guidelines. This workshop outlines the basic principles of copy cataloguing in a MARC record environment. It will introduce you to the art of: finding cataloguing records that you can copy; ensuring that those records really match your resources; and fixing the really important things that might need fixing in those records. Recommended prerequisites: MARC21 in Your Library. Target audience: acquisitions people, copy cataloguers, beginning cataloguers, and experienced but untrained cataloguers.
