Wheelers is a large New Zealand Library supplier providing outsourced
selection, cataloguing and processing services for public libraries
throughout New Zealand. We are based in Glenfield on Auckland's North Shore.
We are seeking a qualified, experienced cataloguer for part-time work with
the possibility of full-time work in the future. Applicants should have a
thorough knowledge of AACR2, MARC21, LCSH, LCNA, and Dewey 22. RDA knowledge
is desirable but training will be provided if required. Experience at
original cataloguing would be an advantage but not essential.
Preference will be given to a cataloguer who is capable of working with
differing client requirements and more than one catalogue system.
The pay rate is competitive, and will be commensurate with skills and
experience. Flexible family friendly working hours may be discussed at the
interview.
Applications close 4 November 2013. Please apply by sending your CV by email
to fenella(a)wheelers.co.nz or post to Fenella Gordon, Library Services
Manager, Wheelers, PO Box 305404, Triton Plaza, AUCKLAND 0757.
If you are interested in discussing working at Wheelers, now or in the
future, please contact Fenella by email or phone (09) 4797979 x 204.

Dear Cataloguing colleague,
If you are going to be in Hamilton on Monday 21st October, please come along to the CatSIG AGM which is being held in conjunction with the 2013 LIANZA conference. 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. The AGM business will be followed by a panel discussing the implementation of RDA in New Zealand.
The meeting will take place from 12.15pm to 1.30 pm in Brooklyn Two at the Claudelands Conference and Exhibtion Centre, Hamilton. Documents and reports for the meeting are available at http://nznuc-cataloguing.pbworks.com/w/page/69885704/Documents%20for%20CatS…
CatSIG is currently looking for some new committee members, and needs a new secretary and a new convenor. If you would like to be part of this group please bring your nominations to the meeting. If you would like more information or will not be at conference please contact Janess Stewart janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz>
We would love to see you there.
Kind regards,
Sonya Maclaurin (Secretary of CatSIG)
Kia ora
At the National Library of New Zealand we've noticed that the Library of Congress catalogue etc is no longer available :-(
http://www.loc.gov/home2/shutdown-message.html
Due to the temporary shutdown of the federal government, the Library of Congress is closed to the public and researchers beginning October 1, 2013 until further notice.
All public events are cancelled and web sites are inaccessible except the legislative information sites THOMAS.gov and beta.congress.gov.
However, the Marc standards are still accessible through a mirror site - see email below forwarded from Autocat
Cheers
Catherine

Hopefully these won't be necessary for long, or at all :/
