Exercise 4
1. Where can you find information about Nobel Prize ? Who get the Nobel Prize this year ?
- I can search on http://www.nobelprize.org/
- Named Charles K. Kao
Standard Telecommunication Laboratories Harlow, United Kingdom; Chinese University of Hong Kong Hong Kong, China
- The Nobel Prize in Physics 2009
2. Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get
- The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers (and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they performed the work that had previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task. In 1617 an eccentric (some say mad) Scotsman named John Napier invented logarithms, which are a technology that allows multiplication to be performed via addition. The magic ingredient is the logarithm of each operand, which was originally obtained from a printed table. But Napier also invented an alternative to tables, where the logarithm values were carved on ivory sticks which are now called Napier's Bones. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) made drawings of gear-driven calculating machines but apparently never built any.
3. What is the difference between general book and reference book ?- The distinction between a book and a reference book can be confusing. Some books that you might "reference" are still considered "books" for the purposes of citation. For example, the MLA Handbook, APA Publication Manual, and other writing style books would be treated as "books" in your bibliography.Reference books are used to find factual information on a subject, and are not usually read all the way through or chapter by chapter. In a K-12 library, reference books are usually located in a special reference collection area, and cannot be checked out. Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, almanacs, atlases, and directories.As a side note, in APA, the reader must also distinguish between reference books and what are called "annual periodicals." For example, consider a yearbook (which looks like a reference work). Annual periodicals often resemble edited books. To tell the difference, look at the publication's subtitle. If the subtitle changes annually, it should be treated as an edited book or reference work. If there is no subtitle, or the subtitle does not change year to year, it should be treated as an annual periodical.
4. When do you need to search information from the reference collection ?-
When I want to know the information about the History Background, it related to the topics.
5. What type of reference collection that you like to use most ? And why ?- Dictionary

Journal : Examples of Diary or Journal Entrie
August 26, 1963
Today I found out I was going to an integrated school. I feel my life will be better, but I am also worried of what the kids will think of me. Their parents are very upset and protesting outside the school. I have mixed feelings about it. I know that if I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a black lawyer, I will need a great education and have to work hard. My life will be nothing without education.

3. Access the Library website : What is the call number?
A call number is a group of numbers and/or letters put together to tell you where in the library to find your book.- A call number is located at the bottom of the book on the spine. It helps you to find your books quicker.Once you've got your call number from the card catalog, it's time to go find your book!
4. What are sources of knowledge? Identify as mush as you know.
There are four sources of knowledge, viz., instinct, reason, intuition
Instinct
When an ant crawls in your right arm, the left arm automatically moves towards the right arm to drive away the ant. The mind does not reason there. When you see a scorpion in front of your leg, you withdraw your leg automatically
Reason
Reason is higher than instinct and is found only in human beings. It collects facts, generalises, reasons out from cause to effect, from effect to cause ( a priori and a posteriori methods of reasoning), from premises to conclusions, from propositions to proofs. It concludes, decides and comes to judgment.
Intuition
Intuition is spiritual Anubhava. Knowledge through functioning of Karana-Sarira is intuition.
Atma-Jnana
-Jnana is above intuition. It transcends the Karana-Sarira. It is the highest form of Knowledge. It is the only Reality.

Where can I find the information I need? Which are the best possible sources? Which databases are the best choices?
Which types of sources will best help me solve my information problem? Which sources do I already have?
Do I need help to find the resources or to make sure I haven't overlooked any critical sources?
Follow these links more information on searching and appropriate internet search tools and our catalog and licensed databases.
3. Selecting and evaluating your resources
How can I search these sources effectively?
After reading, can I identify better keywords or subject headings to refine my electronic search?
Do the resources I found really answer my questions or offer evidence to support my thesis?
Have I carefully examined my selected sources for significant details and concepts?
