2. Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get. 
         
         From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

         The history of the automobile begins as early as 1769, with the creation of steam-powered automobiles capable of human transport.[1] In 1806, the first cars powered by internal combustion engines running on fuel gas appeared, which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous modern gasoline- or petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. Cars powered by electricity briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century but largely disappeared from commonality until the turn of the 21st century, when interest in low- and zero-emissions transportation was reignited. As such, the early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras based on the prevalent method of automotive propulsion during that time. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling and size and utility preferences.
        
        Pioneer inventors



German engineer Karl Benz, the inventor of numerous car-related technologies, is generally regarded as the inventor of the modern automobile. The four-stroke petrol (gasoline) internal combustion engine that constitutes the most prevalent form of modern automotive propulsion is a creation of German inventor Nikolaus Otto. The similar four-stroke diesel engine was also invented by a German, Rudolf Diesel. The hydrogen fuel cell, one of the technologies hailed as a replacement for gasoline as an energy source for cars, was discovered in principle by yet another German, Christian Friedrich Schönbein, in 1838. The battery electric car owes its beginnings to Hungarian Ányos Jedlik, one of the inventors of the electric motor, and Gaston Planté, who invented the lead-acid battery in 1859.



3. What is the difference between general book and reference book?
    
    Book reports and essays have more differences than similarities. Book reports cover the whole book. Essays focus on a particular aspect, be it a theme, tone, character, or scene from the book. Essays reference moments from the book directly, using quotes, to make their arguments. Book reports only give general plot points. Book reports may offer personal opinions, whereas essays usually give facts.


4. When do you need to search information from the reference collection?
    
     When I want to use about old  information againts. 


5. What type of reference collection that you like to use most? And why? 

    I most like to use the Internet . Because it:s convenient and  a lot of information has everything I want to know. When I want to find information Ican to know very fast.And information on Internet is respectable very much thus the Internet have nessecery for everybody.








Exerise 5

  1. Library database is
  • A library database is an electronic catalog or index.
  • Library databases contain information about published items.
  • Library databases are searchable.
                                      Four main types of database organization.

     1. Author(s)
     2. Title
     3. Publisher
     4. Publication Date
     5. Subject Heading(s)
    6. Physical Appearence (size, number of pages, maps, illustrations, etc.)
    7. Location within a collection
This information in its standardized form, is called a bibliographic record.

    3. Library Website is

    Getting girl out of work into school
http://www.unescobkk.org/fileadmin/user_upload/appeal/gender/pdf/girls.pdf


3. What is an Abstract?

     An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject or discipline, and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper's purpose. When used, an abstract always appears at the beginning of a manuscript, acting as the point-of-entry for any given scientific paper or patent application. Abstraction and indexing services are available for a number of academic disciplines, aimed at compiling a body of literature for that particular subject.

4. What is the full-text article?

    In computerized databases, the complete article rather than just a citation or abstract. In any sources databases, move from the record screen to the full text of an article by entering the command DIT. A full-text article in any sources databases can be printed, sent to your email address, or saved to disk.

5. What is your search teachnique (s) when you're doing your homework or assignment?

    I usually search on the internet from the library website or maybe sometime univertsity library.

information

information

Information, in its most restricted technical sense, is an ordered sequence of symbols. As a concept, however, information has many meanings.[1] Moreover, the concept of information is closely related to notions of constraint, communication, control, form, instruction, knowledge, meaning, mental stimulus, pattern, perception, and representation.

What is information of copyright

1. What is information of copyright?

- Copyright is a form of protection provided to the authors of “original works” and includes such things as literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual creations, both published and unpublished. Copyright does not protect ideas. It only protects the specific and original expression of the idea. A good example of this is that there are many films and books based on the classic boy meets girl theme in which the girl’s parents disapprove of boy and after many tears, true love finally triumphs. This theme cannot be monopolised, but original works to it can be. The same can be said of all other works.
Source



2. What is a patent?

- A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor or applicant for a limited amount of time (normally 20 years from the filing date). It is a legal document defining ownership of a particular area of new technology.
Patents are Granted in over 150 countries and are predicated on the theory that inventors are more likely to invent and disclose that knowledge to the public in exchange for a limited period of exclusivity. The right granted by a patent excludes all others from making, using, or selling an invention or products made by an invented process.

How search engines work ?


How search engines work ?


Please note: search engines are not simple. They include incredibly detailed processes and methodologies, and are updated all the time. This is a bare bones look at how search engines work to retrieve your search results. All search engines go by this basic process when conducting search processes, but because there are differences in search engines, there are bound to be different results depending on which engine you use.
  1. The searcher types a query into a search engine.
  2. Search engine software quickly sorts through literally millions of pages in its database to find matches to this query.
  3. The search engine's results are ranked in order of relevancy.

Examples of Search Engines

There are a TON of great search engines out there for you to choose from. Whatever your search need might be, you'll find a search engine to meet it.

 Three type of search engines
1. Directory  search engine
Internet search engines are categorized by topic in our searchable directory of general and specialty search engines. Also listed are resources and tools for exploring the deep web, performing advanced research, and for learning about using search engine tools and technology. Example Yahoo

2.General search engine

A general search engine is a search engine that covers the overall Web, using its own spider to collect Web pages for its own index.

When to use a general search engine

  • When you have a well-defined topic or idea to research
  • When your topic is obscure
  • When you are looking for a specific site
  • When you want to search the full text of millions of Web pages
  • When you want to retrieve a large number of Web sites on your topic
  • When you want to search for particular types of documents, sites, file types, languages, date last modified, geographical location, etc.

Examples of general search engines

This is easy. General search engines have been popular and newsworthy for many years.
3.Meta search engine
A metasearch engine is a search tool[1] that sends user requests to several other search engines and/or databases and aggregates the results into a single list or displays them according to their source. Metasearch engines enable users to enter search criteria once and access several search engines simultaneously. Metasearch engines operate on the premise that the Web is too large for any one search engine to index it all and that more comprehensive search results can be obtained by combining the results from several search engines. This also may save the user from having to use multiple search engines separately.
The term "metasearch" is frequently used to classify a set of commercial search engines, see the list of search engines, but is also used to describe the paradigm of searching multiple data sources in real time. The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) uses the terms Federated Search and Metasearch interchangeably to describe this web search paradigm.
