Abstract

Three issues relating to the recent revision of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules to accommodate seriality are addressed: (1) the development of a theoretical model to incorporate new types of resources into AACR2; (2) cataloging conventions for changes that take place over time (e.g., latest entry, successive entry); and (3) the quest to reduce an unnecessary proliferation of bibliographic records due to title changes. Each issue is discussed as to the need for change, challenges faced, and proposed solutions. The article is a personal reflection on the process and the people involved.
