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

Ex. Nevertheless, the fact that these general lists cannot serve for every application has triggered a search for more consistent approaches.

Ex. Serial searching for a string of characters is usually performed on a small subset of a large file.

Ex. Such a statement of objectives may appear narrowly defined in its practices and yet, at the same time, rather sweeping in its assumptions.

Ex. Worldwide, however, the printed book is still the most ubiquitous source of record = Sin embargo, el libro impreso es aún en todo el mundo la fuente de información escrita más común.

Ex. This article describes how an ' umbrella licence' was obtained covering a group of libraries within the region.

Ex. Comment published so far is favourable, but the code still awaits widespread adoption.

Ex. The unease is pervasive, not an occasional outcropping of discontent.

Ex. Likert in no way attempts to make a blanket prescription for employee-centered supervisory styles.

Ex. In publishing itself there is little use made of the all-encompassing schemes such as Dewey or the Library of Congress.

Ex. Library schools are offering broadly based courses with increasing emphasis on technology and information systems, but practising librarians still need the traditional skills.

Ex. The contents of this handbook are comprehensive and wide-ranging.

Ex. Consequently, the overriding demand made by the academic community is bibliographical in nature.

Ex. However, the organisation is well on its way to becoming a broad-based provider of databases and end-user oriented information services in all areas of engineering.

Ex. Without the stimuli of cooperative agencies, many programmes such as wide-scale interlibrary loan would not have developed so rapidly.

Ex. There appears to be an unhealthy tendency among information technology professionals to elevate any single, highly successful practical experience instantly into an overarching paradigm for managerial success.

Ex. It was interesting, in view of the received opinion that 'We don't have many problems round here'.

Ex. The article is entitled 'Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the epidemic growth of its literature' = El artículo se titula "El síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA) y el crecimiento exponencial de su literatura".

Ex. Test score data were broken down to show that the decline is pandemic throughout the culture & not limited to sex, race, or class variables.

Ex. Except for the principal no one besides the librarian has such a wide-angle view of the school's instructional programme.

Ex. Although it is coy about admitting the fact it is only mentioned twice in the whole of the thirty pages of publicity material it is in effect a generalized and modernized Thesaurofacet: a facetted classification with a thesaurus structure forming an integral part.

Ex. What is needed is an embracing approach to guarantee freedom for Palestine and legitimacy for Israel.

Ex. By drawing Russia into an encompassing coalition with Europe and other powers, the risk of conflict will be diminished.
