unit 6

1. discuss how the author, the publisher, the faculty member, the library, and the students can be accommodated
   
   
   for the author, he/she gets paid for his work after he has presented it to the publisher who mass produce the the work which an agreement of money are split between them. after the work as been mass produces and sold it can go to the faculty members that will decide what to do with the book. the book will either go on the shelves to sell or be placed in a library for public use and purchases. a student can either go to the store after to buy the book or to the library to borrow the book.
   
   
2. How can a fair arrangement be achieved
   
   a few way to make things fair for everyone is to have a system that allows a certain time and amount of book can be checked out at any given time. this will limit how long a person could keep the book for their use to a few days to a month depending on how popular it is. another way would have multiple copies of the book so that there can be more than one being rented out and used at one time.
   
   
   
3. What are the challenges in creating a fair arrangement for everyone
   
   a few challenges that makes things fair for everyone would be money, time, importance, line up, and quality. the most important thing is money because with out it you cant get anything started. time would be next for that no one can rent the book for as long as they want without letting others get a chance at using the book or even returning it for someone else to rent. line up would be important because some one could be looking for the book but has been rented out but not returned yet, so it is important to make a list of who is next in line to receive the next available copy. the quality of the book should be in a fair condition, it is understandable that the book will show some wear and tear after a few usages, but should be kept in a good manner to help it from being destroyed.
   

1. How can a balance be achieved between protecting privacy and meeting the needs of national security
   
   
   i think that having a way of contacting the person who has the item rented to them should leave some evidence of where they live, a contact number, and photo i.d. to be able to locate or contact them for any reason needing to get the item back. it is important to not get too much information from some one but necessary to get enough to have the ability to reach the person.
   
   
2. How did you react to the list of challenged books (were you surprised, for example)? Do you think some books should be banned or should all books be freely available? Why
   
   
   i am surprised by the list of books challenged, but also in agreement with some of them. most school should not involve religion in teaching students how to read or write properly. i believe that all books should not be banned, but instead, be place in a category where it warned the readers about the content of the books.
   
   
   
3. How have your overall ideas about information ethics changed or not changed after completing this unit
   
   my ideas has increased from the way i look at copyrighted materials and privacy matters. before i would just not really care about copyrighted things and just do what i pleased, but now i found a new respect for it and even learned about the importance of privacy and how difficult it is to keep it in ballence with everything.

5. 
   Once you got your results to around 100 (or fewer), how did you determine they were meaningful?
   
   i determine that they were meaningful because they all had information about different animals and their habitats. it would not matter what kind of animal i was looking up but what information i could find about their habitat.

   13
   
   

4. If there were more than about 100 results, how did you refine your search terms to narrow your results?
   
   at first i tried the just use animal and habittat but that gave me more than 2000+ results so i added the environment and then it narrowed the search the 13
   
   
5. Once you got your results to around 100 (or fewer), how did you determine they were meaningful?

unit 4-1

1. The three periodicals I chose were
   Time
   Chemical and Engineering News
   Journal of comparative Psychology
2. i choose :
   The Way to Get Delivery Of a Hudson Super-six
   The Determination of Catalyst Properties by J.B. Butt and V.W. Weekman Jr.
   Integration of movement in learning in the albino rat
3. these articles are different by the way they were written. there are no two writers that has the same exact way of writing one thing.
4. some of the major differences among the periodicals are that the way it was placed together. the time was place like it was trying to grab the attention of someone who wanted to buy it, while in the chemical article has more information that was placed in, and lastly the journal was put together like it was an actual journal format which had selected types of studies and research.
   

1. what is your question.
   What are the benifits and the consequences of humans destorying other animal homes?
2. What EXACT terms did you enter into the keyword search screen?
   habitats
3. What subject heading did you choose to be sure your item was on target and the best option for your search?
   habitat ecology modification united states
4. What item did you eventually choose? Why?
   ESA--habitat conservation : oversight hearing before the Committee on Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, second session, on the Endangered Species Act with regard to section 10(a) permits (habitat conservation plans) and other incentives, July 24, 1996
   i choose this because it relates to my question on what the benifits are of keeping animal habitats around us.
5. Give the bibliographic information for the item you chose.
   author-united states. congress. house. committee on resources
   title-ESA--habitat conservation : oversight hearing before the Committee on
   Resources, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, second

   Congressional Sales Office, 1996
   publisher-U.S. G.P.O., Supt. of Docs
   date published- 1996
6. When you looked at the reference work, what quote did you choose? Why?
   (did not have the chance to check the book out) major midterm 2-10-09
7. What makes this a reference book as opposed to a regular book you might find in the book stacks?
   i believe this is a reference book for the fact that it explains how animal habitats are interconnected with everything around us and that it has information of what is a habitat.
8. In looking at the material in the book and the publication date in the bibliographic information, what year do you think the information really comes from?
   i believe that the information came from 1990, because sll the information could not have been current by the way the book was beging to tear a little. i also believe that new information takes some time to be able to become a new edition.

library catalog

i decided to change my order a little on my research this week from letter B to letter C.

1. Tropical deforestation

A- Rowman & Littlefield
B- Tropical deforestation
C- unknown
D- unknown
E- Lanham : Rowman & Littlefield
F- c2006

2. location, status, call #

A- Book Stacks
B-ON THE SHELF
C-
Sd418.3.t76t752006


3.
Deforestation tropics
forest biodiversity conservation tropics
forests and forestry tropic
4. Deforestation tropics
10 entries


5.
A-
with a keyword search, i have goten many results, but most of them are not what i am looking for and with the heading seatch i got less results but more of what i am looking for.

B-
many of the results are straight on what i am searching for and very accurate to what i am looking for.

C-
with the keyword search i noticed that i was getting results that just had the word i place in to search or just partial word results, while the results with the subject i got what i was looking for even if it came up with less results.





the difference i found between the two search method was that the keyword search would have more results but less information than what i would be looking for. the subject search gave me less results but more accurate information to what i am looking for and has more valuable information to receive.

Sizing Your Topic

1. A- the environment
   B- deforestation
   C-lost habitat
   D-endangered species
   E-forest life cycle
2. A- What would happen if all the habitats are being destoryed continuously in the future?
   B- What are the benifits and the consequences of humans destorying other animal homes?

Delicious

1. A. delicious is a web site that allows you to bookmark any websites that you want and then later access the site later on any computer you want.
   B. some of the advantages of this tool is that you can save any website you want and later access the site again on any other computer you want.
   C. i would not want to use this web tool, simply because it is a long and painful process to save the site and then later to bring up the site you had saved earlier.
   

Unite 1 part 2

1. what is nvidia most famous for???
2. graphic card, computer screen, motherboards
3. google, yahoo, aol
4. A. famous, graphic card, motherboards, nvidia
   B. nivida and famous and motherboards
   nivida or graphic card or famous
5. i compared the results from all there sites together, and how ever many sites that i got the same. after i compared the results to find how many sites were a good sources of information.
   With the three search engines i used many of the results were scattered in different location on the site.
   I believed that the search engines behaved the way they did because some of the sites pay the search company more money to be at the top of the results.
6. How long has this company been in business?
   what are its standards for its products?
   

the following questions

1. i tried to answer all the question to the best of my abilities and to my best understandings.
2. i used Google.com, and yahoo.com for my search engine
   
3. the search terms i used were: commercialism, philosophy, and sponsor.
   google-224000 results
   yahoo-64200 results
   
4. for my evaluation question, i used all the question that was provided on the page.
   i can say that google has more result over yahoo, but both are search engines that are controled by the highest paying sites are the first to be showned.
5. i have thought of another question. how many sites related to the research subject has more than three of the following teams?(the six new/old teams learned this week)
