Simplifying Sentence
I have a sentence that has a thought and it goes like this:
Locate holdings in the shelf list without the assistance of a librarian, without checking the card catalog or even without physically browsing the shelves.
Note: See the redundant use of "without" ? Can I simplify it to something like this:
Locate holdings in the shelf list without the assistance of a librarian, checking the card catalog or physically browsing the shelves;
Or is there any better way to execute that?
