by other agencies'.Ex: The data is pulled directly from all the bibliographic data bases on DIALOG that have a JN field.Ex: One of its main advantages is the potential to pull off descriptive entries onto disc to create annotated booklists.Ex: If I decide to spring for this I'll let you in on what I find out.Ex: One day she indulged in her habit of swigging too much gin before going to feed the
