(n.) = access point, entry point, entry term, index entry, retrieval access, search key, access point, service point, point of access, entrance pointEx. This access is achieved by organising the tools so that a user may search under a specific access point or heading or index term, for example, subject term, author, name, title, date.Ex. UNIBID has less redundancy and covers more types of bibliographic material than UNIMARC, whereas the latter probably has more entry points for catalogue headings.Ex. These instructions codes convert the operators into machine-readable manipulation codes, and show which terms are to be used as entry term.Ex. All index entries and references in a PRECIS index are derived from an indexing string.Ex. Much more important, however, is the fact that an online catalog contains many more retrieval accesses than a catalog based on the Paris Principles and is therefore a far more effective tool from the user's point of view.Ex. Typically some parts of records can be searched and their elements used as search keys.Ex. Such libraries act as access points to the full range of resources that are housed in the central libraries with which they are linked.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.
