Dear colleagues
The National Library of New Zealand is planning to conduct a 3-day course Original Cataloguing in RDA at the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand in Lower Hutt from 18 to 20 September, 2013.
Three days is not sufficient to cover every aspect of RDA but the course will provide a starting point for original cataloguing in the new standard. It covers the basics of cataloguing using RDA with an emphasis on monographs, as well as use of the online toolkit. Content will be delivered using presentations, discussion and practical exercises. The course is built on materials developed by the National Library of Australia for their Resource Description and Access : train the trainer course.
The cost to attendees is not finalised but will be limited to catering. Attendees are responsible for their own travel related expenses. Copies of the full documentation will be made available online and should be printed out by attendees prior to the course. In addition, there will be precourse reading.
Prerequisites
It is expected that those attending the course have an excellent working knowledge of AACR2 and will have access to the RDA toolkit in their library by mid September 2013. Subscriptions to the toolkit are available to New Zealand libraries via EPIC http://epic.org.nz/about-epic/subscription-options#Opt-in
Expressions of interest
Places on this course are limited to a maximum of 15 participants, so please register your interest by submitting an expression of interest (EOI) with the following information:
· Name and contact details
· An indication of what you hope to gain from the training and how you might use it in your library
EOIs should be submitted by email to janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> by close of business on Thursday 15th August, 2013.
Allocation of course places
It may be necessary to limit the number of attendees from each library. Preference will be given to those who will be training other staff in their library. A notification of your course enrolment will be sent to you after the EOI period has closed. In the event that the course is over subscribed, some applicants will be placed on a waiting list and informed if a place becomes available.
Further information
The final Original cataloguing in RDA training course will take place on October 24 and 25, 2013 in Hamilton, following the LIANZA Conference.
Any enquiries should be directed to Janess Stewart by email at janess.stewart(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:janess.stewart@dia.govt.nz> or by phone on (04) 4743118.
