Nota: Se asume que está ordenado de algún modo.

Ex: Here again, Sharp's SLIC indexing procedure provides a solution though one that is prohibitively expensive for a conventional card file.

Ex: You know many libraries have had telephone jacks at the end of the catalog cases and reference people were running around, except they didn't do it very much.

Ex: In the absence of sufficient staff to mount a supervised programme of microcomputer instructions, the library used existing, inexpensive, menu-making software to develop menu-driven, self-instructing access to disc operating commands, applications programs, and data files.

Ex: Information is held in files or databases, which are comprised of records, which in turn are comprised of fields or data items, which again may be comprised of subfields or data elements.

Ex: This library service includes bright wall displays, pamphlets on open racks, availability of lists and directories, access to index files of local information, clear guiding on shelves and cabinet files, and the re-packaging of complex or ephemeral material.
