FORWARDED ON BEHALF OF ANNA VERITT
Hello
For those who are looking for RDA resources to use, I just watched the September version of the RDA Toolkit Essentials video, and totally recommend watching it.
It's found here http://www.rdatoolkit.org/essentials. It's free to view, up-to-date and has good explanations on the structure of the Toolkit, and good tips on navigation and searching.
Regards
Anna

Dear Cataloguing colleague,
The CatSIG AGM will take place at Awapuni Function Centre during the 2012 LIANZA conference on Monday 24th September at 1.00pm.
If you are going to be in Palmerston North that day, we would love to see you there. You do not need a conference registration to attend the meeting, and are welcome to bring colleagues with you who are not yet CatSIG members.
All the relevant documents - agenda, last year's minutes, treasurer's report and convenor's report - are available on the DescribeNZ wiki at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/23232398/News%20and%20Announcem…
Kind regards,
Sonya Maclaurin (Secretary of CatSIG)
Dear colleagues,
In preparation for RDA, the Library of Congress (LC) has implemented two phases of changes to their Name Authority File, which also contains name authority records created by Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) members.
Phase 1 of the programmatic changes to the LC/NACO Name Authority File has recently been completed and the revised authority records have been added to the National Union Catalogue (NUC).
This first phase involved authority records that have 1XX fields that cannot be used in RDA bibliographic records without review and that cannot be changed mechanically. The 1XX has not changed but a 667 has been added to say that the record cannot be used under RDA until it has been reviewed or updated. This phase affected over 400,000 authority records.
Cataloguers working in the NUC will see authority records that contain the following 667 field:
THIS 1XX FIELD CANNOT BE USED UNDER RDA UNTIL THIS RECORD HAS BEEN REVIEWED AND/OR UPDATED
Some examples are:
SJD (Musician)
Ihimaera, Witi, 1944-
Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand
Please note that the name headings in these authority records are still valid for use in AACR2 bibliographic records.
The NACO Team at the National Library of New Zealand can identify those changed authority records with an Nz in the 040 and will review these when they have finished their training in RDA authority records.
The second phase will start as close to Day 1 of RDA implementation (i.e. March 31, 2013) as possible and will involve modifying AACR2 authority records with 1XX, 4XX and 5XX fields that can be changed mechanically, e.g. changing Dept. to Department and b. to born. These changed authority records will be updated in the NUC as we receive them.
Both these phases will involve a relatively small proportion of authority records. The vast majority of AACR2 authority records have headings that can be used under RDA without modification and these will be re-coded as RDA authority records after March 2013.
Kind regards,
Judy
