Abstract

When any new cataloguing rules are introduced, it is natural for cataloguers to worry a little about the changes and potential problems that will accompany them. When the entire cataloguing code is revised, definite uneasiness, even fear, set in. During the long years of preparation before the code was published, it was a fear of the unknown. But now that we all have our copies of AACR2 comfortingly in hand,' we can dispel the fear (or face it squarely) by examining the code and noting just how it will affect our work. Serials cataloguers will find numerous small changes from earlier practices, and a few areas where their vague fears of the unknown may be replaced by more substantially grounded fears that there will be some specific difficulties in applying the code.
