Ex: A threshold weight appropriate to the specificity of the searcher's enquiry must be established.

Ex: This section goes no further than the exploration of ideas which are important for the appropriate support of software packages.

Ex: Several possible rules governing the reference interview are examined; one calls for inquiry into client's underlying wants, 'the face value rule', another for inquiry into underlying needs, 'the purpose rule'.

Ex: An improved awareness of existing work should strengthen the foundations of new investigations, and reduce the degree of duplication.

Ex: From 1985-89, a probe into library services took place into about 7,300 public and school libraries with some 53 million items in stock.

Ex: Abstracts may be submitted for editing and inclusion in bibliographies and bulletins by staff engaged in research.

Ex: The most important of the functions of librarians is the collection, preservation and affording access to the materials of scholarship.

Ex: The reviewer's place in citation chains is an important one because conceivably a carefully done critical review could make or break a line of enquiry or alter the direction of a chain of citations.

Ex: Part of library legend is now a steel manufacturer's after-dinner statement that if a piece of research cost less than $100,000, it was cheaper to repeat it than to try to find out if it had already been done.

Ex: Bibliometric analyses confirmed that review articles on topics that are generating high levels of research activity tend to have relatively voluminous bibliographies made up of a disproportionate number of citations to source materials of very recent vintage.

Ex: With renewed geologic interest in the Arctic and Antarctic, polar libraries are becoming increasingly important to support the research efforts in these areas.

Ex: Cyberculture is emerging as an interdisciplinary subject of academic study.
