Ngā Upoko Tukutuku Māori Subject Headings Hereturikōkā/Ākuhata/August release
by Catherine Amey 18 Aug '19

18 Aug '19

Tēnā tātou The new and changed headings from the Pipiri/Hune/June Te Whakakaokao/Māori Subject Headings Working Group hui of 2019 are now available for use on the National Library website. As usual, files are also available for download to update copies in local systems. Tukua mai he tono kia waihangatia ai he upoko hōu! We’d love some requests for new terms! As always we'd like to hear any new suggestions you may have for the rōpū (group) to consider. It's a really easy process: if you're handling a collection item that is either in te reo Māori or has content about Māori, and you can't find an existing term in our thesaurus to suit your item, please email reo(a)dia.govt.nz<mailto:reo@dia.govt.nz> with your suggestion and the details of what you were working on. Suggestions where you don't know a Māori term are just fine. He ao te rangi ka uhia, mā te huruhuru te manu ka rere. Ngā kaupapa hou / New terms Auahatanga – Creativity, innovation Kōkiri - Advocacy Mātātoka - Fossils Mātauranga mātātoka - Palaeontology Punua – Young animals, including birds, fish and marine mammals Reo ōpaki – Informal language Tārai waka – Waka building Tauaro - Opposites Waro (Pūmotu) - Carbon Whakamoemiti – Gratitude, thankfulness, thanksgiving Recent Changes The hierarchy of terms relating to biology and the natural world has been significantly revised and clarified. Pūpū (Molluscs), Tio (Oysters) and Tipa (Scallops) are now Heke (narrower terms) of Ngā uri o Tangaroa (Marine life), and many terms relating to living organisms have been shifted from Pūtaiao (Science) to the more appropriate term of Koiora (Biology). There are a number of new concepts relating to the environment, living organisms and science. These include: Mātauranga mātātoka (Palaeontology), Mātātoka (Fossils), and a term for carbon, Waro (Pūmotu). The last may be especially useful when describing resources that relate to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. A number of terms have been created that may be useful when describing resources for children. These include Tauaro (Opposites), Whakamoemiti (Gratitude), and Punua (Young animals). A new term has been added to describe informal language, Reo ōpaki. Concepts in the domain of economic and political development have been developed further. There is a new term, Kōkiri, which may be used for advocacy, and the term Auahatanga has been created to convey innovation and creativity. A new English see reference guides users from Equality to Mana tangata (Achieved status). The term Ōhanga whanaketanga (Economic development) has been updated to make it clear that it also encompasses the concept of Risk management. Nā ngā kaimahi o Te Whakakaokao

The new RDA Oceania list (rdaoceania)
by Anoushka McGuire 17 Aug '19

17 Aug '19

Kia ora koutou, Apologies if you have already heard this news because you were subscribed to the rdaaust list, but for those who haven’t I’d like to let you know about the recent change to the rdaaust list and to invite you to subscribe to the new RDA Oceania list. The rdaaust list has changed its name to “rdaoceania” and is now an email discussion list for RDA as it relates to the Oceania region. A forum for discussing RDA cataloguing issues, the list is an opportunity to build professional networks, and learn about new products and services related to RDA and its implementation. The rdaoceania list will be used by the Oceania RDA Committee (ORDAC) as the main tool for directly updating the region about RDA. It may also be used by national resource description communities such as the LIANZA Cataloguing (CATSIG) Community and the ALIA Community on Resource Description (ACORD) to communicate information about activities in relation to RDA, such as conferences, training courses and other events that are of relevance to the RDA community in those countries. Training providers offering RDA training are also welcome to advertise their courses on the list. To find out more about ORDAC, please visit the ORDAC website<http://rda-rsc.org/oceania> Please be encouraged to promote the rdaoceania list to your colleagues, particularly colleagues in parts of Oceania outside Australia who are interested in RDA. Instructions for subscribing are at the end of this email and will shortly be available on the ORDAC website. rdaoceania list etiquette rdaoceania is an “unmoderated” list, which means that all posts go directly to the subscribers without going through a moderator. This allows for the free and open flow of discussion on topics of relevance. The list is intended to create a community of practice where all subscribers feel safe to exchange information about RDA and its implementation. This also requires that subscribers take responsibility to ensure that all posts to the list are written in the spirit of this openness, and with respect for other subscribers to the list. ORDAC will monitor the list to ensure that this happens, and take action if it feels that this etiquette is breached. When responding to posts, subscribers should consider carefully whether their response should be addressed directly to the sender of the original post rather than to the whole list. Be aware that simply clicking “Reply” will send your response to the list. If you want to reply to the original sender, you need to change the address in the “To” box to the individual address of the sender of the original email. When posting to discussion lists, it is common for senders to “cross-post” to multiple relevant lists in order ensure that the post reaches as many people as may be interested in the content of the post. This means that a subscriber to multiple lists may receive some emails multiple times. For this reason, cross-posting is usually acknowledged by the sender at the beginning of their email. If you have any concerns about emails that are posted to the rdaoceania list, please direct them to the List Manager rather than to the list itself. The List Manager can be reached at nlarda(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:nlarda@nla.gov.au> Subscribing to the rdaoceania list (to send to your colleagues) To subscribe to the list send a message to: sympa(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:sympa@nla.gov.au> In the subject line of your message, type in: subscribe rdaoceania Firstname Name (replace Firstname Name with your own first name and last name). For example: subscribe rdaoceania Mary Smith Leave the message body blank You should then receive a welcome message with details of how to post messages to the list etc. Unsubscribing from the rdaoceania list If you wish to unsubscribe from the rdaoceania list, please send a message to sympa(a)nla.gov.au<mailto:sympa@nla.gov.au>. The subject line of your email should contain the following words: unsubscribe rdaoceania. Leave the message body blank.
