25 Oct '16

Tēnā tātou katoa Ka tangi te pipiwharauroa! We are pleased to announce that Ngā Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms this spring. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Māori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in August 2016. There are 11 new terms that have been added to Ngā Upoko Tukutuku and are ready for use in library catalogues, and a number of changed terms. We welcome requests for new terms. Please don’t hesitate to send in requests, queries and suggestions to reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz%3cmailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> - Te Whakakaokao would love to hear from you. We also hope to see some of you at Tukua, the Ngā Upoko Tukutuku training workshop, on 17 November 2016 in Ōtautahi/Christchurch http://db.lianza.org.nz/database/event-calendar/maori-subject-headings-tuku… Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Ika a Whiro – Veterans Kāhui ākonga onamata - Graduates, Former students Kainga kore - Homelessness Kapuni – Natural gas Pahi - Buses Panga - Puzzles Pirihimana - Police Wahakura – Cradles, Bassinets Whakanoa – A process or ritual that removes tapu Whare uku – Clay houses Whiro - The atua associated with evil, darkness and death Te mahi whakahou / Changes to existing terms and significant additions Oketopa/Whiringa-ā-nuku/October 2016 Some new terms that will be useful when describing children’s literature have been created. These include Pahi (Buses), and Panga (Puzzles). Te Whakakaokao is currently revising and clarifying the terms relating to Tikanga, and Kawa. The scope of Tangihanga (Mourning ceremonies) has been revised, and a new term, Whakanoa, has been created to describe processes or rituals that remove tapu. A new term has been added for Kainga kore, or Homelessness. This is a narrower term of both Āhuatanga pāpori (Social conditions) and Āhuatanga ōhanga (Economic conditions). New terms relating to veterans (Ika a Whiro) and the related atua, Whiro, have been created. Ika a Whiro may be used to describe veterans of both traditional and contemporary conflicts. We now have a term for cradles and bassinets, Wahakura, and have clarified the scope of Kete kawe pēpi, woven baby carriers. If you have any questions, or potential terms you want to suggest, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

Suggestions wanted for new headings to include in Nga Upoko Tukutuku
by Anoushka McGuire 18 Oct '16

18 Oct '16

Tena kotou katoa, Te Whakakaokao (the Māori Subject Headings working group) is calling for more suggestions for new headings to include in Nga Upoko Tukutuku. We're having a hui in early December, so now's the perfect time to scour your shelves or talk to your reference staff about those collection items you couldn't find a good term for. You can suggest the Māori term you think is relevant or just give us the English equivalent, but either way we need to know what the resource is (ISBN and/or OCLC number are great identifiers) so we can take a look ourselves. We're also always interested in any questions you have about existing headings, particularly if you think the scope notes need expanding or if you think something else should be included. Suggestions and questions are welcome any time at reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz>, but with a hui coming up and a bit of space on the agenda for new suggestions it'd be great to get some requests in by mid-November. naku na Charlotte Christensen, on behalf of Te Whakakaokao
