Summary

This search was tedious and makes me glad I didn't take a pathway requiring heavy research and papers. The search functions do not all work the same. The deep web had better resources and you could refine the search without all the junk but you had to work for the others as well. I hope to get my books soon. I can't help that I even ordered one off topic that I had wanted to read the moment I saw it. Thanks for the fun!

Google books

I had to finally change the search term I was very frustrated by now using internet and growth. This was a very junkie collection of books. I used growth of the internet instead and ended up ordering the book from our library because I am interested in reading it. It is an older book (2001) but valid in my area. I find reading origianl protocol descriptions helped immensely and I think this might as well.



The Internet's Coming of Age. Washington, D.C: National Academy Press, 2001. Print.

This book is written by several of the industries including the national reseach council

IT Pro

I loved the IT Pro section. As a computer student I have used this section before. I never really searched like this in there and when I tried just the words internet and growth I used before i got an error Using the term internet I was amazed at how many window 7 books there are are.I changed the search parameters several times and found that to be a little difficult to pin point what I was looking for . I liked this search function least so far.

the book from summit

I used the same search terms of   internet and growth for this search

The citation information is:
Abbate, Janet. Inventing the Internet. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 1999. Print.

This search was so frustrating. It offered more selections on books that pertained to the growth of business than anything else. Business was not what I wanted.  

The book from Clark

The book I chose from the Clark Library was found by using the terms internet and growth.


The citation is:

Practice Questions


Practice Questions(Provide answers/sources for each of these):
1) Is a vegetarian diet healthier than a meat-based diet?

For this question I would use scholarly journals and statistical data. I might focus on the medical journals.Look for studies.

2) Target often forces musicians to alter lyrics in order to have
their CDs sold in Target stores. Is this censorship?

I would look in local resources like newspapers and magazines and national sources like the web. It is here that you will find if the rumor is true. Looking for specific artists or censorship of lyrics might help narrow it down.

3) How much more can a college graduate expect to earn over
someone with a high school diploma?

Current data from a government agency like the occupational directory. This is where you can find the official country wage statistics.

4) Should educators use commercial services to combat
plagiarism?

You might find statistical data from peers to suss out that information.Look for information regarding the improvement of student awareness and sucess rates for instructors using this tool.

5) Is the current lack of sunspot activity affecting global
warming?
Research on a focused topic like scholarly journals would be good as well as current governmental data.

These are The questions I used for last weeks responses. I don't think I understood we would be using these to research something formally. It sounds like a project thing.



The Effects of Internet on social evolution.

I would look at scholarly journal for information here. The impact is so broad this question would need to be narrowed a bit. Perhaps look at a specific social piece of information such as age group or perhaps a particular social aspect.

The Internet in our daily lives.


Once again I think I would have been more specific like which part of our daily lives. or define the parts of our lives most deep;y effected.
 I would look at trends on the internet to look at the things we are doing and then at specific research done by accredited sources.

What is after the Internet .

Once again finding a specific here might have been better. Looking deeper into the cutting edge technologies that might lead to indications of where the internet is going and what we might expect.
Searching the web, government sources, and technological sources would be good here.
