Ex: Suppose you have classified, by UDC, the document 'Select methods of metallurgical assaying', class number 669.9.

Ex: To print MARC record edit sheets, press 'Alt F3', which means to press and hold down the 'Alt' key, followed by pressing the 'F3' key.

Ex: An art print is an engraving, etching, lithograph, etc. printed from the plate prepared by the artist.

Ex: Telidon was first demonstrated in 1978, and small-scale field trials videotex and teletext started in 1980.

Ex: Final editing and corrections are done on this terminal, and galleys are sent to the customer.

Ex: Catalogue cards are available for each item recorded in the weekly BNB, and for Cataloguing-in-Publication (CIP) records prepared from the page proofs of forthcoming titles.

Ex: Since it seems clear that many libraries will not be automating, they will have to depend on traditional sources of cataloging data such as cards, proof slips, and book catalogs.

Ex: Alternatively a library may receive proofsheets of every LC catalogue record, and make a selection from these when items arrive.

Ex: Bureaux can be useful for proving trials, and the deferment of commitments until a suitable size of data base has been accumulated in the computer system.

Ex: The intention was to determine which department within each library has the responsibility for arranging trials of products.

Ex: Trial prints (proofs) of the formes were then made, and compared with the copy from which they had been set.

Ex: This course can be taken by librarians as well as readers and its trial run started in 1987.

Ex: Checking is carried out by comparison of the galley proof against the manuscript.

Ex: These have the advantages of economy, and (if the subscriber desires) selectivity because the records on the proof sheets are divided into broad categories which can be obtained separately.

Ex: The article 'Search engine showdown' reports the results of lab tests carried out on 7 major World Wide Web (WWW) search engines available free of charge on the Internet.

Ex: A cognitive walkthrough consists of a re-enactment of a test session in which the user is queried about their movements and decisions throughout the test session.

Ex: The author presents an evaluation of PatentView in terms of product information, search and retrieval facilities, documentation, and test drive.

Ex: Test run results show that by taking advantage of the favourable properties of holography shorter response times are obtained.

/se/

Rinviando alla voce qui sotto per i diversi valori semantici espressi dalla congiunzione se, vanno specificati i seguenti punti. - Il se condizionale è seguito da should per marcare un'ipotesi remota: se telefonasse qualcuno... (= se qualcuno dovesse telefonare...) = if anybody should phone...; if nella frase condizionale può essere sostituito, usando uno stile elevato, dall'inversione tra soggetto e ausiliare: se avessi saputo che era a Roma... = had I known he was in Rome... - Quando, dopo verbi come to ask, to know, to wonder ecc., se introduce un'interrogativa indiretta o una dubitativa, la traduzione è if oppure whether, quest'ultimo usato specialmente se lo stile è più formale o se viene esplicitata l'alternativa se... o: non so se lo sa = I don't know if he knows; mi chiedo se l'abbia fatto o meno = I wonder whether he did it or not. - Quando se non è reso con unless, questa congiunzione concentra in sé il contenuto negativo della frase, che pertanto non richiede negazione e ausiliare: se non me lo dici subito... = unless you tell me at once...

I congiunzione

1 (condizionale) if; se telefona, digli che non ci sono if he phones, tell him I'm not in; se vuoi vengo con te I'll come with you if you like; se fossi in te o al tuo posto if I were you; sarei contento se piovesse I would be happy if it rained

2 (causativo) se lo sapevi perché non me l'hai detto? since you knew, why didn't you tell me? se proprio insisti, vengo if you insist, I'll come

3 (concessivo) if; se anche, anche se even if, even though; è furbo, anche se non sembra he's sly although he doesn't look it

4 (in frasi esclamative) if; se (solo o almeno) lo avessi saputo! if only I had known! had I known! se Dio vuole! God willing! se ho voglia di partire? ma certo! do I want to leave? but of course I do!

5 (per esprimere suggerimento) e se andassimo al cinema? what about going to the cinema? e se tu passassi il weekend con noi? why don't you come and spend the weekend with us? e se portassi il dolce? what if I bring the dessert?

6 (per introdurre una dubitativa o un'interrogativa indiretta) if, whether; mi chiedo se verrà I wonder if he will come; mi chiedo se sia vero (o no) I wonder whether it's true (or not)

7 se non if not, unless; non ha preso con sé nulla se non un libro he didn't take anything with him apart from o other than a book; una delle città più belle, se non addirittura la più bella one of the most beautiful cities, if not the most beautiful; se non fosse stato per me, sarebbe andato he would have gone but for me; se non smetti di fumare ti rovinerai la salute you'll ruin your health unless you give up smoking; se non altro if nothing else
