Contributors for the next Catapult issue
by Tamsyn Bayliss 31 May '16

31 May '16

Dear colleagues, We're planning the March issue of Catapult and are looking for your contributions! The tentative theme is 'future-forward'- as inspired by Kevin Ford's recent visit and his talk on BIBFRAME. (Reminder- the webcast is still available to view here: http://webcast.gigtv.com.au/Mediasite/Catalog/catalogs/lianza-catsig) Do you have views on RDF, BIBFRAME, linked data, the future of the library catalogue and cataloguing, or examples of how your library is planning or has implemented new systems? Also, on a broader tangent - if you've read something interesting, started a new role, attended a workshop or completed a cataloguing project and would like to share, we'd love to include it too. The deadline for contributions will be Friday 4th March. Please get in touch with ideas to either/ both of us at: Tamsyn Bayliss tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com> Jessie Moir jessiem(a)hdc.govt.nz<mailto:jessiem@hdc.govt.nz> Many thanks, Tamsyn and Jessie Tamsyn Bayliss | Cataloguing Librarian | Auckland War Memorial Museum | Tamaki Paenga Hira | The Domain, Private Bag 92018, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, New Zealand | www.aucklandmuseum.com<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/> | M | P +64 9 309 0443 ext 7258 | F +64 9 379 9956 | E tbayliss(a)aucklandmuseum.com<mailto:tbayliss@aucklandmuseum.com> [cid:image001.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/>[cid:image002.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/whats-on/exhibitions/air-new-zealand-75-years> [cid:image003.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://www.facebook.com/AucklandMuseum?ref=hl>[cid:image004.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://instagram.com/aucklandmuseum/>[cid:image005.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://twitter.com/aucklandmuseum/>[cid:image006.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<https://www.youtube.com/user/aucklandmuseum>[cid:image007.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/war-memorial/online-cenotaph>[cid:image008.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/collections-research/collections>[cid:image009.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://store.aucklandmuseum.com/>[cid:image010.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/venue-hire>[cid:image011.jpg@01D16B0C.E62C0840]<http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/get-involved/donate-sponsor-support/make-a-do…> Auckland Museum Trust Board ("Auckland Museum") accepts no liability for any opinion contained in this email.

Good morning New Zealand cataloguers, I thought this was worth forwarding – particularly as I’ve highlighted below, the examples are freely available and do not require you to have a subscription to the RDA Toolkit.

FW: Good Afternoon
by Jessie Moir 23 May '16

23 May '16

Posted on behalf of Sandra O'Dea Email: s.odea(a)ucol.ac.nz<mailto:s.odea@ucol.ac.nz> Good afternoon all, I thought I would share this with you: UCOL's restructuring proposal: All library staff and student support staff roles at the UCOL Palmerston North campus 'are being' disestablished (proposal/consultation phase has begun). The proposal suggests that all library roles be disestablished (there are 10 librarians currently working here). They propose to name the library the 'Knowledge Hub' and create four new library roles - job title: Student Library Advisors, and one leader role - job title: Senior Advisor Knowledge Hub. It appears that our librarian roles are not viewed by UCOL management as professional/specialised/skilled roles (although one slight concession that suggests the library roles are professional, is the requirement for a degree and library qualification in the new job description): UCOL has released the draft job description for the proposed 'Student Library Advisor' role. Most of the current library roles (duties) (i.e. Cataloguer, Electronic, Interloans, Liaison, Acquisition, Systems, Processing, Collection Management, Overdues & Circulation etc.) are to be condensed into the proposed Student Library Advisor role. The Student Library Advisor is also expected to carry out work at the customer service desk; however this not only includes circulation/library duties but Information Technology assistance (e.g. computer logins and printing requirements - Advanced information technology skills is listed as an essential specific experience) - this is because the current non-library Computer Support Assistant role (1 full-time and 1 part-time role/people) is also being disestablished. The Student Library Advisor is also expected to manage other student resources (this could include handling student nursing uniforms, graduation gowns, equipment bonds, trip/travel payments, gym fee payments etc.) - this is because the Student Resource Centre (currently manned by two non-library roles/people) is also being disestablished. Many of the duties listed in the proposed new role description (Student Library Advisor) appears to be liaison based i.e. teaching - providing seminars, online resources, workshops and one-on-one sessions for staff and students; with some of the technical library roles mentioned briefly in a few bullet points. If you would like to support us there is a petition you might like to sign here<teu.ac.nz/ucol> and/or you may like to email a few words of support? Your support is much appreciated.

Introduction to Cataloging (online class)
by Anoushka McGuire 05 May '16

05 May '16

Good afternoon all, I wondered if this might be of interest? I’ve taken a few Library Juice Academy courses myself and have found them very helpful. In particular I appreciated the access to discussion forums and the tutor while the course has been going on. The also run a very interesting sounding Metadata design course (amongst other things). Cheers! Anoushka Forwarded from Auto-Cat: Date: Tue, 3 May 2016 08:59:55 -0700 From: Rory Litwin <rlitwin(a)GMAIL.COM<mailto:rlitwin@GMAIL.COM>> Subject: Introduction to Cataloging (online class) Introduction to Cataloging Instructor: Melissa Adler Dates: June 6 to July 1, 2016 Credits: 1.5 CEUs Price: $175 http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/005-intro-cataloging.php Are you a librarian who has suddenly been given the responsibility of cataloging for your library, but you know little to nothing about how to do it? Or do you feel that a quick course on cataloging will simply make you a better librarian? Or perhaps it has been a long time since you did cataloging work and you need a refresher. This four-week course will introduce the tools and techniques of the trade, including descriptive cataloging (RDA), subject cataloging (classification and subject headings), and an introduction to Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC). The course promises to provide practical, hands-on training for non-catalogers, including sample workflows, an introduction to copy cataloging, and guides to make the job of cataloging easier. We will rely heavily on freely available resources so that you learn to use tools that you will be able to access after the course. Each week will include an introduction to the week's content, a few readings, and an exercise or quiz. We will also have discussion forums for each week, and participation is considered essential. Expect to spend about 3.5 hours on coursework each week. Melissa Adler is Assistant Professor at the University of Kentucky School of Library and Information Science, where she teaches courses in Information Organization and other areas of librarianship. She holds a PhD in Library and Information Studies from the University of Wisconsin Madison and has seven years of academic library experience, primarily in the realm of cataloging. Read an interview with Melissa Adler http://libraryjuiceacademy.com/news/?p=121 This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment. You can register in this course through the first week of instruction (as long as it is not full).
