Search Journal part 5

I tried internet and job hunting:

    Your 24/7 online job search guide [electronic resource] / Lamont Wood.
    New York : Wiley, c2002.

Under the heading:

    Job hunting -- Data processing.
    Job hunting -- Computer network resources.
    Internet.   
This is an e-book with no call number. The location shows online resource
Even though it was written in '02, just looking at the information and scanning the index, it still seems very relevant   


online job search and job hunting online is the search terms. I found Guide to Internet job searching.

Dikel, Margaret F, and Frances E. Roehm. Guide to Internet Job Searching. Chicago: VGM Career Books, 2004. Internet resource.

Can't find location and call number but felt it was credible because it was published by BGM Career books which specializes in this type of book. We are supposed to be able to get it from a member of the library group but it won't let me sign in. I'm finding this website hard to use. When you finally find a book that is supposed to be an e book, you can't get it. . .I give up. It says there is one available but I can't figure out how to download it or look at it

I didn't like IT pro. No matter what I put in, it doesn't give me what I want. I put in internet job search and doesn't come up with anything close.

For Google books I tried using internet job search and came back with "How to Use the Internet to Get Your Next Job"
    "How to Use the Internet to Get Your Next Job" Nagle, Fitzgerald, Egan
    Atlantic Publishing 2009
 It has a 4 out of 5 star rating by other readers and I was able to preview the book. On page 17, the author claims to have worked in the staffing industry for over 20 years.

For me, this one on Google books was the easiest and most convenient to use. It has something I can use right now. Didn't like the other ones
 Even though they had many tools that should have made them easier to use, they were more difficult. It seemed like they were putting on bells and whistles that should work better but just makes it more complicated. Where I would ask for e books it would show some and then you would go and go and go and find out you have to pay or its supposed to be on website Clark is a part of but can't find it. Irregardless, It was hours of searching with little results until I got to Google.

The THREE questions: Privacy

1. How is the balance between personal privacy public protection handled?
I might start with Academic Encyclopedias to get some background and an overview on this subject

2. What decides when public protection overrides personal protection
I think I would have to go to an Academic Journal and jump right into in-depth research. Possibly an online database. Maybe a lawyer could give some advice or a paralegal

3. What rights do parents have to invade children's privacy
I might just Google this question to see what pops up. It may be the parents discretion. I know I've heard varying opinions on this subject.

Research Journal, Part 4

For the five practice questions:
1. Vegan vs. Meat? I might check out some official websites of a nutritionist to start and see what opinions they give and why. I also might check any books they would recommend.
2. Forcing musicians to alter lyrics at Target. Maybe start with an Academic Journal to see what laws their might be and popular magazines because it seems that if it were censorship it could be a legal question but then they have the choice to put there music there or somewhere else. I would be interested in what the fans think so I would see if there are any blogs about it as well.
3.How much more can a college grad expect to earn? I have seen some websites that show what a college grad is expected to earn over a high school diploma and I believe they were based on government statistics so I would look there first and see what their source is. I would follow it to the original source to see where there is one based on government statistics just because I know I've seen it. Maybe a government website on jobs.
4. Should educators use commercial services to combat plagiarism? People/educators to see what their opinion is since it directly affects them and how they do their job. Do we really need it here at Clark where we have such wonderful students or would it be a waste of money?
5. Current lack of sunspots affecting global warming. Academic Journals to see if it really is a problem and if there is opposing viewpoints and what they base their information on.

sumarization

GVRL is more scholarly while Wikipedia starts out with more general terms before moving into the legalities and history. For a paper, I would go to GVRL that has better sources for citing in a paper. Wikipedia might be a good place to start and for general knowledge is fine. But if I need a source that I can cite, I would jump off on one of their references.

2. What decides when public protection overrides personal protection

3. What rights do parents have to invade children's privacy

wikipedia - privacy

At the start it seemed to be more general than legal but I did look at it from a slightly different angle and found more search words and ideas:
Privacy Law
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Europen convention on Human Rights
Internet privacy
information privacy
Privacy laws of the US
British common law
anonymity
security
identity theft

Privacy

This week was certainly more time consuming than last week. I went through articles on Gale Virtual Reference Library for a lot longer than 20 minutes. Here is the list of keywords and or ideas:

origins of privacy law in America
14th amendment
5th amendment
due process
fundamental rights
Search and Seizure
random drug testing
Bill of Rights
Self-Disclosure
Family secrets
Automobile Search
Probable cause
warrant-less search
4th amendment
Internet blocking

One article that was of particular interest was on search and seizure

Creative Commons

I did not know that it was that easy to get something copyrighted or that you can get just parts of it done and allow some of it to be used as any one wants. I poked around the site and it looks simple. The little video was pretty straight forward and easy to understand. It is interesting that because of the Internet, things that were not happening are now happening, and quickly in very new ways. What was once an expensive legal problem is now only a few mouse clicks away.
As far as the assignment goes, the 1st example doesn't need to be cited because its just a person describing a trip in their own words.
2. is someone giving their idea of what the US is about and doesn't need to be cited unless they came from some one else.
3 Needs to be cited for the 57%. Where did that figure come from?
4 Needs to be cited for what they are saying about what King thinks. How do they know unless they read it, in which case, it needs to be cited
5. Looks to be cited correctly
6. Also looks to be cited correctly. They are quoting directly from the letter in which case they put quotes around what was taken word for word and stated that it was in the Letter from jail
7. In this comment she did say that Kara told her so I believe that is a cite  of sorts
8. I  believe this should be cited. It needs to be cited where it is that it is guaranteed.

I think I had a pretty good idea of how to handle plagiarizing but its good to refresh and make clear. Basically, if you are repeating what someone else said or wrote, or giving their idea, you should give them credit. Unless its an original thought or idea, its someone else s and you need to cite it and let people know where you got it from. And, if in doubt, cite.
