Part I of AACR2 is concerned with the metadata elements that describe the bibliographic characteristics of information resources in library collections, that is, their bibliographic description. This book does not teach the reader to become expert in applying AACR2 - guides to AACR2 are plentiful. Rather, it aims to provide enough knowledge about the standard to decide in which situations it can be suitably applied, and why its application can improve information retrieval. The second edition of AACR was first published in 1978; subsequent revisions were published in 1988, 1998 and 2002.
They are not developed by nameless bureaucrats remote from the day-to-day concerns of information centres, but rather by numerous practitioners throughout the world who provide input based on their actual concerns and everyday practice. The process by which this advice is finally reflected in the standards is effective, but often slow and cumbersome. Standards are essentially agreements. The more parties involved, the more difficult it is to come to an agreement, or to a new agreement. However, standards do need to be revised, particularly as the types of information resource continue to diversify.
Although the OPAC can be rapidly updated by bulk loading of new records, is now familiar to most library users, can be used by users at one time (both in the library and remotely), and allows several records to be scanned at one view, it does, however, depend heavily on expensive and complex computing equipment which becomes outdated rapidly. More about the forms of information retrieval systems, especially those used in the library context, can be found in other standard textbooks about bibliographic organisation (Hunter & Bakewell 1991; Taylor 2006; Chan 2007; Rowley & Farrow 2000).
