Ex: The information seeking patterns of a variety of academic social scientists were broken down into 6 characteristics: starting; chaining; browsing; differentiating; monitoring; and extracting.

Ex: Access is via modified television set, a telephone (and its connections) and a simple keypad.

Ex: An information system architecture defines a structure for describing communications connectivity between users of information and sources of information.

Ex: The most serious problem for librarians in their dealings with media materials is the massive multiplication of formats, making it difficult for librarians to decide what to buy in what format.

Ex: One trend for the future is likely to be the development of hosts which are designed for interaction with the end user.

Ex: In the case of the book, it is the interplay of such multifarious trends that will determine its destiny.

Ex: The microfiche is a common form for catalogues and indexes, usually 208 or 270 frames per fiche, in a piece of film and with a reduction ratio of 42 or 48:1.

Ex: The catalogue often forms the basis for co-operation and good relations between the libraries in a region.

Ex: This type of alliance is already evident in countries like Thailand, where library science students and educators have been actively involved in writing and illustrating children's books.

Ex: It is important to make sure that there is close liaison between the cataloguing department and the order department, otherwise cards are liable to be ordered twice or in insufficient quantity to meet the total demand.

Ex: This article also examines the need for exposure to AI by all students in order to become familiar with capabilities and limitations of AI-based systems.

Ex: Eastern European countries longing for western scientific ties have wanted to participate in the Internet for a long time, but were excluded by government regulations.
