Ex: I would also have dug out information references to which readers can be directed who want to know more about the setting.Ex: The list of changed headings is almost literally endless if you have the patience to dig them all up.Ex: The command function ' FIND' is used to input a search term.Ex: Nonetheless, we would still not wish to hunt through the file in order to change all subdivisions of that heading.Ex: Kaiser also investigated the effect of grouping subheadings of a subject.Ex: This order suffices for a list whose purpose is to identify and locate documents, whose bibliographic details are already known.Ex: A user might start by looking for a map of London, when he really wants a map of Camden.Ex: Discovering these tales, looking out printed versions and comparing them with the oral tradition would have introduced us step by step into the rich lode of folklore.Ex: In a printed catalogue or index a user is constrained to look under the headings in the catalogue.Ex: If so, the call number of the document is looked up and displayed.Ex: No one complained about Duff to her, and she decided not to probe for discontents.Ex: A user searching for Smith's 'History as Argument' who was not sure under which subject it would be entered, would have to prowl through a huge number of cards in a card catalog to find the entry under SMITH.Ex: This access is achieved by organising the tools so that a user may search under a specific access point or heading or index term, for example, subject term, author, name, title, date.Ex: A popular book will always be sought after by
