Cataloguing update

In May 2012, Charlotte Stretton and Janess Stewart, Cataloguing Team Leaders at the National Library of New Zealand, presented key insights on subject and genre/form headings. They emphasized the importance of these headings in categorizing works based on their content and style. The presentation covered new developments in Library of Congress standards, upcoming projects, and training initiatives for RDA implementation. Attention was also given to the use of LCGFT headings and the library's ongoing commitment to local headings as part of its cataloguing policy.
