Ex: Without such guidelines each document would need to be assessed individually, and inconsistencies would be inevitable.Ex: This review also illustrates some of the issues which cataloguers have discussed over the years, and demonstrates other solutions to standards in cataloguing than those embodied in modern cataloguing codes.Ex: The article 'Home schoolers: a forgotten clientele?' examines ways in which the library can support parents and children in the home schooling situation.Ex: The person assigned as coach goes over the work of the new abstractor, makes editorial changes, and discusses these changes with the new man.Ex: This article looks at three interrelated issues regarding on-line services based on the recent literature.Ex: The main concern is to look into current use of, and interest in, electronic information services, and also to gauge opinion on setting up a data base concerned solely with development issues.Ex: It is difficult to overhaul the basic structure of an enumerative scheme without complete revision of sections of the scheme.Ex: Each of the binders is portable and can be separately studied.Ex: Chapters 7 and 8 introduced the problems associated with author cataloguing and have surveyed the purpose of cataloguing codes.Ex: If one probes more deeply into the question of truth and falsehood, one gets into difficult philosophical issues, which we prefer to leave to others.Ex: This article offers an account of the processes shaping the professionalisation of college and research librarianship within the framework of 4 contemporary sociological theories.Ex: I believe Mr. Freedman hired about 11 student assistants to go through this intentionally dirty file and clean it up.Ex: All three types of material, when first received by DG XIII, are submitted to the Technological Information and Patents Division of DG XIII in order to vet items for possible patentable inventions.Ex: Inmate library workers often test a new librarian, but once he or she has passed the test, they usually become very protective and staunch promoters of the library.Ex: It would be of enormous help to us if you could put a few things together for us to look over.Ex: Where problems do arise it is sensible to check out the training programme before blaming the assistant for poor performance of duties.Ex: The physical effort of keeping tabs on people as well as the distasteful practice of checking up on staff output achieves nothing and may do considerable damage.Ex: The physical effort of keeping tabs on people as well as the distasteful practice of checking up on staff output achieves nothing and may do considerable damage.Ex: There is only space to review briefly the special problems associated with the descriptive cataloguing of nonbook materials.Ex: If this appears to be excessively difficult, maybe it is time to question whether the tool is too complex.Ex: A summary differs from an abstract in that it assumes that the reader will have the opportunity to peruse the accompanying text.Ex: Employers should take a preventive role in protecting women's general health, for example, screening women workers for cervical cancer.Ex: The librarian sometimes must probe to discover the context of the question and to be able to discuss various possible approaches and explore their merits.* al examinar Algo de cerca = on closer examination, on closer inspection.* examinar cómo = look at + ways in which.* examinar detenidamente = scrutinise [scrutinize, -USA], put + Nombre + under the spotlight, bring + Nombre + under the spotlight.* examinar el modo de = examine + way.* examinar el papel de Algo = investigate + role.* examinar la función de Algo = investigate + role.* examinar la posibilidad de (que) = examine + the possibility that/of.* examinar los conocimientos = test + knowledge.* examinar más detenidamente = look + closer, take + a closer look at, take + a close look.* examinar más minuciosamente = examine + in greater detail.* examinar minuciosamente = pull apart.* examinar + Posesivo + conciencia = search + Posesivo + conscience.* examinar rápidamente = scan.* examinar un tema = explore + theme.* sin examinar = unexamined.* * *examinar [A1 ]vtA ‹alumno/candidato› to examineB (mirar detenidamente, estudiar)1 ‹objeto› to examine, inspect; ‹contrato/documento› to examine, study2 ‹situación/caso› to study, consider; ‹proyecto/propuesta› to study, examine3 ‹paciente/enfermo› to examineayer nos examinamos de latín we had o took o ( BrE) sat our Latin exam yesterday* * *
