RDA Training Options
by Chris Rae Todd 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

The National Library is looking for expressions of interest from cataloguers interested in developing ideas around RDA training in New Zealand. This will include identification of existing training opportunities, training providers and relevant materials. We will also be looking for information on the training needs of different types and sizes of library as a followup to the training survey of 2010. We are not expecting the members of this group to write or develop training materials. We're looking for your ideas, your opinions of existing training materials and your ability to identify any gaps in training options. At this stage we anticipate that communication will be by email, rather than face-to-face meetings. If you are interested please contact me by August 17th. Many thanks Chris Chris (Christine) Todd Team Leader, Cataloguing Team 1 National Library of New Zealand The Department of Internal Affairs Te Tari Taiwhenua Direct Dial: +64 4 474 3093 email: chris.rae.todd(a)dia.govt.nz ==== CAUTION: This email message and any attachments contain information that may be confidential and may be LEGALLY PRIVILEGED.
