Ex: By replacing parts of photocopying services with advanced personal computer technology libraries should make savings sufficient to pay royalty for each page copied.
Ex: In strong contrast to, say, television sets and instant coffee, where the consumer may save by shopping around, there is no advantage to be gained by going to one shop rather than another for a book so far as price is concerned.
Ex: Consequently, we would probably often consider cutting corners and not effecting the change under all of the added entries.
Ex: Further economies could perhaps be made by taking a closer look at the way in which our university libraries are used.
