The division is not so neat. Literary series which continue
indefinitely, and in which authorship sometimes changes, are now
entered under author, creating a duplicate author entry in the OPAC,
and blocking series title access in ILS with poor indexing of 800$t.
This is just one area in which so far as I can tell, RDA creates no
improvement over AACR2. Whether a new coding system would be more
easily indexed is an unknown.
