Ex. This scheme aims for a more helpful order than the major schemes, by following the groupings of subjects as they are taught in schools.

Ex. An annotation is a note added to the title and/or other bibliographic information concerning a document, by way of comment or explanation.

Ex. Taking the second situation for the purpose of illustration, there are four options for choice of title.

Ex. Inevitably any abridgement poses the dilemma how to abridge, that is, what to leave out and what to include.

Ex. Further, these indexers are probably so familiar with their subject area that, they whether in the guise of indexer or searcher, will profit little from any additional guides to relationships.

Ex. Just as Ivan finds that by taking pleasure in an extra piece of food he makes survival possible and beats Stalin and his jailors at heir own game.

Ex. Thus, the computer-held term record files are most suitable for applications like Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) systems.

Ex. Such a concept came as a great surprise to many information educators who rather dismissively regarded the information qua information field of activity as being too limited.

Ex. More studies are needed to identify the full temporal effects of the personal computer, much as they did for television.

Ex. In a way, it is acting as a kind of bridge between the two, permitting traffic both ways where once there was a divide.

Ex. 45 libraries have been unofficially recognised by librarians as serving as model children's libraries.

Ex. The author considers the possibility of a shift from libraries to personal information service along the lines of the shift that has occured from public to private transport.

Ex. Strange that so helpful and charming a person in his capacity as a librarian could behave so monstrously; but behave thus he did.

Ex. Indicative abstracts abound in phrases such as 'is discussed' or 'has been surveyed', but do not record the outcome of the discussion or survey.

Ex. It's kind of like trumping in public -- You simply do not do it!.

Cuando como va seguido de un sustantivo o pronombre también puedes usar like para comparar dos acciones o situaciones: Es como su padre. He's just like his father. Sin embargo, si va seguido de una preposición, hay que usar as: En marzo, como en abril, llovió. In March, as in April, it rained.
