Analytical cataloguing is valuable in respect of any type of media, but many of ideas have been tested most thoroughly in the context of monographs and serials.Ex. The human indexer works mechanically and rapidly; he should require no insight into the document content.Ex. A focus conveys the key or principal notion of a concept.Ex. It is easy to see that users and separate pieces of literature may hold different perspectives on one subject.Ex. Parts of the abstract are written in the informative style, whilst those points which are of less significance are treated indicatively.Ex. Amongst these are numbered: some specific legal and governmental works, such as laws, decrees, treaties; works that record the collective thought of a body, for example, reports of commissions and committees; and various cartographic materials.Ex. Different conceptions of what subject indexing means are described.Ex. A model of how librarians may actually go about book selection is presented in three ways: rationality; tacit knowledge; and symbolic content.Ex. Her experience with many children has shown that often they can repeat sentences and read quite well without any inkling of what they are saying.Ex. Nevertheless, citation indexes do seek to link documents according to their content (or at least the perception of their content held by the author of the source work).----* acariciar la idea de = toy

Ex: The human indexer works mechanically and rapidly; he should require no insight into the document content.Ex: A focus conveys the key or principal notion of a concept.Ex: It is easy to see that users and separate pieces of literature may hold different perspectives on one subject.Ex: Parts of the abstract are written in the informative style, whilst those points which are of less significance are treated indicatively.Ex: Amongst these are numbered: some specific legal and governmental works, such as laws, decrees, treaties; works that record the collective thought of a body, for example, reports of commissions and committees; and various cartographic materials.Ex: Different conceptions of what subject indexing means are described.Ex: A model of how librarians may actually go about book selection is presented in three ways: rationality; tacit knowledge; and symbolic content.Ex: Her experience with many children has shown that often they can repeat sentences and read quite well without any inkling of what they are saying.Ex: Nevertheless, citation indexes do seek to link documents according to their content (or at least the perception of their content held by the
