Ex. The intending borrower merely specifies a search key for the item he wishes to borrow, and the system provides a bibliographic description.

Ex. Documents which will not be evident to the browser of shelves include: documents out on loan, documents which might be obtained by inter-library loan, and any collections which are kept in closed access.

Ex. When a library member asks for a fictional book he usually frames his request in this way: 'I am looking for a book by Victor Canning'.

Ex. The level of specificity that is desirable in any index is a function of the collection being indexed, its use and its patrons.

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. The system permits the requester to specify up to five potential lending libraries, and the system transmits the requests to these libraries one at a time.

Ex. To read a borrower label place the scanner on the left side of the label and move it from left to right across the bar codes, pressing lightly to keep it in direct contact with the label.

Ex. Users make suggestions for modifications and these are then channelled through a series of committees.

Ex. Now ISI has added to its compact disc line the Social Sciences Citation Index and new, improved search software featuring multiple cd-rom drive access.
