Ex: When the cataloguer turns to the description of a piece of music a common problem will be the absence of a title page to be used as the chief source of information.

Ex: But despite the many catalog worlds, and herein lies the rub -- or at least a rough spot -- we have been proceeding on the assumption that the catalog exists in the form of the data distributed by the Library of Congress.

Ex: Another snag was the existence of entrenched divergent cataloguing habits among the multinational staff, not to mention their fear of the unknown = Otro problema era la existencia de hábitos de catalogación divergentes y ya arraigados entre el personal multinacional, por no mencionar su miedo hacia lo desconocido.

Ex: A bug is an error in a program or an equipment malfunction.

Ex: The article is entitled 'How to implement electronic subscriptions replacing the routing list hassle'.

Ex: But as elegant and efficient as this seems, this strategy has a rub - you've got to have technology to track shipments, since you're ultimately responsible for purchases, warranties and returns.

Ex: However, like any emerging technology, there are still a few kinks in the system.

Ex: The kicker is that this type of money transfer service is less convenient and no safer than many online money transfers.
