quid, vida 1)

Ex: This broader consideration of descriptive cataloguing problems serves to set a context for the consideration of cataloguing problems associated with nonbook materials.

Ex: A threshold weight appropriate to the specificity of the searcher's enquiry must be established.

Ex: These issues are reviewed more thoroughly in chapter 10.

Ex: AACR2 generally recommends collocation although it is suggested that the extent of collocation and the need for uniform titles is a matter for local decisions.

Ex: The point being that these systems are very much in their infancy and have a long way to go before they reach the comparable sophistication of space probes and reusable rocketry.

Ex: One argument against including a list of questions is that often analysts will think they are the only questions that might be asked.

Ex: A book index is an alphabetically arranged list of words or terms leading the reader to the numbers of pages on which specific topics are considered, or on which specific names appear.

Ex: I think this whole business about whether punctuation is obtrusive or not is quite honestly not worth discussing.

Ex: Her article lays emphasis on some of the concerns that are important to the continued development of effective information policies.

Ex: The question is not how much time we have, but what we do with it and how we utilize it.
