Adjunct faculty (marker) sought for cataloguing and classification course
by Amanda Cossham 30 Jan '18

30 Jan '18

The Open Polytechnic is the main tertiary education provider of undergraduate courses and programmes in information, library and recordkeeping studies in New Zealand. Information and Library Studies courses are taught by distance and online, supported by print and multimedia. We are looking for an experienced cataloguer to mark assignments for 72272 Cataloguing and Classification. This is a part-time role, done remotely and through an online marking system. Adjunct faculty can be based anywhere in New Zealand. The assignments cover: • RDA and MARC (Assignment 1). Students create catalogue records for specified resources (not including classification or subject headings). • issues facing library catalogues (Assignment 2). Discussion paper as for colleagues in a library. The work takes place in the second half of the year since the course is not offered in Trimester 1. It's likely to take 10-20 hours work for each assignment, but the time commitment is flexible, and depends both on the amount of time the marker has available and on the numbers in the course. Assignments are due week of 13 August and week of 24 September. The exam (covering classification and subject headings) is marked by the course leader, as are some of the assignments. This is a level 6 (second year) course that is compulsory in the BA (Information and Library Studies) and also taken as part of the Information and Library Studies Diploma (Level 6). Long term it will be replaced by a similar course in the new BLIS degree that we are developing, and we would hope that the marker could continue involvement with the replacement course. Main requirements * Current practical experience cataloguing with RDA and MARC. * MLIS or equivalent/older qualification or appropriate experience as a cataloguing librarian. * Understanding of the wider information and knowledge organisation landscape and the developments that are affecting library catalogues and cataloguing, such as BIBFRAME, Library Reference Model (LRM), linked data, Ngā Upoko Tukutuku/Māori Subject Headings, changes in information seeking behaviour. Please send your CV and a brief covering letter to me by the 16th February 2018.

Tēnā tātou katoa We are pleased to announce that Ngā Upoko Tukutuku, the Maori Subject Headings project has completed another upload of new kaupapa/terms. These terms came from the work of Te Whakakaokao, the Māori Subject Headings Working Group, at a hui held in late November 2017. There are 15 new terms that have been added to Ngā Upoko Tukutuku and are now 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>, ideally before the next hui on 22-23 March 2018. Te Whakakaokao would love to hear from you! Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Kāinga – Homes Kaikaranga – The woman who performs a karanga Kaikōrero - Speakers Karauna – Crown (Treaty claims) Kikiri – Human embryo Kohu - Mist Kukune tangata – Human foetus Kuputaka - Glossaries Mana raraunga – Data sovereignty Moroiti – Microorganisms Pūrongo -- Reports Raraunga – Data Te Rohe Pōtae – King Country Tuhinga nā te hunga taiohi – Writings by young adults Tūroro – Patients Recent Changes Some new terms that will be useful when describing different kinds of resources have been created. These include: Kuputaka (Glossaries), Pūrongo (Reports), and Tuhinga nā te hunga taiohi (Young adults’ writings). New terms relating to data (Raraunga) and data sovereignty (Mana raraunga) have also been created. We have significantly revised and updated the scope of the term Takatāpui, which encompasses Rainbow communities, Genderqueer, LGBTQI, and other gender identities as self-identified by these communities. There is now a term for Kāinga, defined as a contemporary term for home or residence. Terms have now been added for the human embryo, Kikiri, and the human foetus, Kukune tangata. We also now have a term for microorganisms, Moroiti. A new reo-ā-iwi term, Mounga has been added, which is the Taranaki term for mountains. We have also updated the Ngaati Maniapoto reo ā iwi terms to incorporate double vowels rather than macrons, as reflects local practice. We now have a term for Speakers, Kaikōrero, and Kaikaranga, the woman who performs a karanga. We have created a term for mist, Kohu, with the appropriate relationships to the atua Hine-pūkohu-rangi, Tangaroa and Papatūānuku.
