Informative abstracts both aid in the assessment of document relevance and selection or rejection.Ex. One possible result may be the dismissal of reference books, perhaps even libraries, as legitimate sources of information.Ex. This article critically examines Blaise Cronin's condemnation of social responsibility in librarianship.Ex. The obvious alternative would be denial of access to scholarly literature.Ex. A reference librarian must maintain a pleasant expression (rather than a scowl that is easily read as disapproval of present company).Ex. This approach is characterised by the renunciation of attempts to generate the wording of index entries algorithmically.Ex. As part of the worldwide revulsion against the fierce crackdown of peaceful dissidents now occurring in Cuba, the U.S. Congress has voted 414-0 to condemn the Cuban government for raiding 22 libraries.Ex. Indeed, in larger libraries, there are those who regard a referral as tantamount to an admission of defeat.Ex. Nevertheless, it is suggested that Marx's disavowal of religion as a force for instituting a universal class was premature.Ex. This is a radical move away from the accepted principle of using the actual item as the primary source of cataloguing data.Ex. These elite books are distinguished by their visible repudiation of mass culture and commercialism.Ex. Emotional blocks to reading can be formed by an unsatisfactory relationship with a teacher.Ex. The article 'Apple Macintosh: thumbs up? thumbs down?' considers whether online searchers should use Apple Macintosh machines.Ex.

The second document is a denouncement of slavery by Greenwich, who mobilizes the best tradition of scriptural exegesis to make his case.Ex. These denunciations make libraries look both sanctimonious and hypocritical for trying to save the world when they have failed to put ther own house in order.Ex. Unsurprisingly such misuse is triggered by push factors, such as fear of failure, and also pull factors, such as ease of use and the ubiquitous cut and paste.Ex.

Its pink colour was originally chosen (for an earlier building) by president Domingo Sarmiento (1868-74) to represent a combination between the two feuding political traditions of nineteenth century Argentina – red for the Federalists and white for the Unitarians. Argentina's presidents have addressed the people from the balcony of the palace, but the most famous orator to use it was Evita Peron, so there was a huge controversy when film director Alan Parker obtained permission to use the balcony when filming his musical “Evita” in 1997, with Madonna in the title role.* * *f1 house;como una casa fam huge fam ;comenzar la casa por el tejado fig put the cart before the horse;echar otirar la casa por la ventana spare no expense;se me cayó la casa encima fig the bottom fell out of my world2 DEP:jugar en casa play at home;jugar fuera de casa play away, play on the road3 ( hogar) home;en casa at home;estás en tu casa make yourself at home;llevar la casa run the home;ser muy de su casa be a real home-lover;todo queda en casa everything stays in the family* * *casa nf1) : house, building2) hogar: home3) : household, family4) : company, firm5)echar la casa por la ventana : to spare no expense* * *casa n1.
