19. • Many objections and reservations were expressed before
AACR2 was adopted by the Library of Congress, the
major shared cataloging bibliographic utilities, and most
American and British libraries. This article recapitulates
the perceived advantages and disadvantages of the
Second Edition, insofar as this affects library public
services. The article then discusses alternatives to
implementation and shows how sometimes the
alternatives caused more problems for public service
librarians than did the new code itself. The conclusion is
drawn that most library users have not noticed AACR2's
effects or do not care enough about them to compliment
or complain
