Ex: Computerized information-retrieval systems are also very prominent in commercially available online search systems and applications.Ex: It was noteworthy that nearly all SLIS were maintaining their IT materials as much, if not more, from earnings from entrepreneurial activity than out of institutional allocation.Ex: The imposition of fee-based services may radically curtail the breadth of resources available to library users where historically information has been offered freely.Ex: Business International Inc. is another US service covering economic and marketing activities in over seventy countries.Ex: Neither are the latter group, in the course of their professional activities, likely to feel that the treatment of information as a priceable commodity compromises a principle fundamental to their professional ethic.Ex: The friction in this industry between private, for-profit services and not-for-profit learned societies or government bodies is deep-seated.Ex: I tried to

existe, pues, a una gran gama de producciones escritas que van desde lo científico a lo comercial.Ex: Many types of budgets are not really applicable to libraries, since libraries are not primarily profit-making institutions.Ex: However these distinctions are not always clear cut, the public sector may pursue profit-related goals and the private sector may adopt other goals besides profit (improving work environments, quality of life).Ex: Librarians generally adopt the common strategy of simply using readily available sources of information.Ex: Trade-oriented scholarly presses also predict more titles, smaller press runs and higher prices.Ex: Information producers and sellers are profit-orientated.Ex: Central to this is the belief that information is a marketable commodity.Ex: A major concern of the journal will be the business, economic, legal, societal and technological relationships between information technology and information resource management.Ex: A standard off-the-shelf version costs 450 and fully tailored systems usually fall into the range 1,250 -- 1,450.Ex: There are a number of microfilming centres in the country including two commercially operated microfilming services.Ex: The market oriented economy is changing the role of information and business information services.Ex: The author points out dangers inherent in the fact that on-line data
