3) ( darse a conocer) to introduce oneself* * *presentar (según)(v.) = cast (in/into)Ex: Which of the following subject analyses is cast in the citation order PMEST?.
= bring to + the attention, display, draw, exhibit, expose, feature, introduce, open up, pose, present, provide with, set out, subject, throw up, render, put before, produce, table, submit, unveil, showcase, surrender, lay out, roll out, construct, tender, come up with, report, bring forward, deliver.Ex: Many displays are changed from time to time (for example, once a week, or once a month) so that various sections of the stock may be brought to the attention of the library's public over a period of time.
Ex: The command function 'DISPLAY' is used to display a list of alphabetically linked terms.Ex: For example, when setting up the format for records in a data base, the user can draw a form on the screen, complete with headings for each field, and then, the data is entered into the form.Ex: These headings, therefore, in addition to exhibiting a bias in favor of the majority, actively hinder access.Ex: The reputation of the information and its authority will be more exposed to examination.Ex: Other catalogues and bibliographies only feature added entries under title where it is deemed that the author main entry heading is not likely to be obvious to the users.Ex: The report introduced a range of ideas which have influenced subsequent code construction.Ex: Here is a key paper by a non librarian which opens up a new and constructive approach to library purpose.Ex: This illustrates the puzzle that differential policies pose for users.Ex: Informative abstract present as much as possible of the quantitative or qualitative information contained in a document.Ex: Many libraries provide users with photocopies of contents pages of selected journals.Ex: A short score is a sketch made by a composer for an ensemble work, with the main features of the composition set out on a few staves.Ex: Author abstracts are the abstracts prepared by authors of the document that has been subjected to abstracting.Ex: Demands from clients will often throw up an occurrence of similar problems, revealing perhaps the operation of an injustice, the lack of an amenity in the neighbourhood, or simply bureaucratic inefficiency.Ex: The eventuality is, admittedly, remote but it is also necessary to render the imprint statement in this amount of detail.Ex: The art of documentation is the process by which the documentalist is enabled to put before the creative specialist the existing literature bearing on the subject of his investigation.Ex: The perfect librarian may be defined as one who produces the information a reader requires as soon as the reader asks for it.Ex: This list indicates the dates the reports were tabled and any further action take.Ex: Most publications are probably free distribution material and whilst that does not absolve the publishers from the obligation of legal deposit it is probable that many local authorities do not submit their materials.Ex: Here is an institution which knows, neither rank nor wealth within its walls, which stops the ignorant peer or the ignorant monarch at its threshold, and declines to unveil to him its treasures, or to waste time upon him, and yet welcomes the workman according to his knowledge or thirst for knowledge.Ex: Officially known as SOLEX, this exhibition showcases mainly IT based products for the legal profession.Ex: The book's date label is stamped in the usual way, and the reader must surrender one token for each book he is borrowing.Ex: There should be plenty of space to lay out all the books attractively and for people to move about without feeling too crowded.Ex: I don't need to tell those of you from higher education institutions how course management systems are starting to really proliferate and roll out in higher education.Ex: It is argued that newspaper reporting of bigamy constructs bigamists as being a threat to the institution of marriage.Ex: This address was tendered at the State Library of Victoria, Nov 88, to mark the retirement of Professor Jean Whyte.Ex: Derfer corroborated her: 'I'd be very proud of you if you could come up with the means to draft a model collection development policy'.Ex: Criticism is not appropriate in a style which aims to report, but not comment upon the content of the original document.Ex: They also intend to bring forward
