cambio¹

¹ = adaptive response, alteration, change, editing, modulation, move, recasting, redesign, rotation, shift, transfer, transformation, changeover [change-over], disturbance, mutation, permeability, reformation, switchover, reverse, shift away from, shifting, changing of the guard, swing, bartering, switch, switching, change.

Ex: It is too early to assess the success of the adaptive responses which have been instituted in most SLIS.

Ex: A musical adaptation is a musical work that represents a distinct alteration of another work (e.g. a free transcription), a work that paraphrases parts of various works or the general style of another composer, or a work that is merely based on other music (e.g. variations on a them).

Ex: These changes have meant modifications, some very time-consuming, to serials catalogues in libraries.

Ex: To ensure further that all the index entries generated by chain procedure are indeed helpful, the initial analysis of the chain may require editing.

Ex: There is little modulation, whole steps of division being short-circuited and an odd assembly of terms being frequently found: e.g.: LAW see also JURY, JUDGES.

Ex: Better flexibility is achieved if the heating, ventilation and lighting can accommodate this move without the need for any alterations.

Ex: This kind of large-scale recasting offers an opportunity for the scheme to go forward rather than stagnate until it is completely taken by events.

Ex: This action was the redesign of the enquiry form in order to elicit more information from the enquirer.

Ex: The entries that result from the rotation mechanism have standard layout, punctuation and typography, all of which have been pre-programmed.

Ex: Transitory circumstances of daily life are what cause these shifts.

Ex: When the record transfer is complete, the catalog summary screen is shown for the new record so that the user can review and update it.

Ex: Hungary faces far-reaching socio-economic transformation which will inevitably affect libraries as well.
