To ensure further that all the index entries generated by chain procedure are indeed helpful, the initial analysis of the chain may require editing.Ex: There is little modulation, whole steps of

punctuation and typography, all of which have been pre-programmed.Ex: Transitory circumstances of daily life are what cause these shifts.Ex: When the record transfer is complete, the catalog summary

disturbances.Ex: The very meanings of words like 'library' and 'university' are about to undergo mutations too radical to conceive, much less predict = Los significados mismos de palabras como

types of library at the start of a career but, once settled in a post, fewer librarians than before change from one type of library to another.Ex: The author presents suggestions for the reformation of medical library education.Ex: The transition date for the switchover is 1 Oct 2000.Ex: Moreover, we conclude that the process of placing a feminist stamp on working relations is both far from

These usually carry the name of the region or province where they are based, e.g. “Caja Soria”, “Caja de Andalucía”. They differ from conventional banks in that part of their profits has to be reinvested in social projects or cultural events which benefit their region.

One of the most powerful of these at present is “La Caixa”, a savings bank based in Catalonia.* * *f1 box;la caja tonta fam the idiot box fam, Brthe goggle-box fam ;echar a alguien con cajas destempladas fam send s.o. packinghacer caja COM cash up4:entrar en caja MIL enlist, Br join up* * *caja nf1) : box, case2) : cash register, checkout counter3) : bed (of a truck)5)caja fuerte orcaja de caudales : safe6)caja de seguridad : safe-deposit box7)caja torácica : rib cage* * *caja n2.
