Research Log Entry 2 (3 points)
1. How can a balance be achieved between protecting privacy and meeting the needs of national security? (1 point)
->the balance can be achieved through by having a mutual agreement/understanding between meeting the national security and protecting the privacy. in order to reach a mutual agreement/understanding, there must be respect.
--
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?
->when i see the list of challenged books, quite frankly, i was surprised because most of the books i see in the challenged books i recognize and have already read some of them in high school. Personally, i didn't think they would be in the challenged book list, they weren't hard reading, its just that some of issues discussed in the books were class worthy "discuss topics/questions". if i have to pick among those two choices, i would pick all books should be freely available because that choices sound better. i didn't really have a problem with any of those books. anyway, they should not be banned just because i feel they should be.
--
3. How have your overall ideas about information ethics changed or not changed after completing this unit?
->well, in some ways i guess my overall ideas about information ethics changed after completing this unit. I never thought about how long the copyrights on books/material lasted. i just always assume they will copyrighted forever. its probably because i never given it much thought.
-->Anyway, even though i don't like the prohibiting system, i appreciate the system because everyone have a different outtake and opinions. therefore, everyone's personal opinions and feelings must be appreciated and thus, the prohibiting system works in some regions.

Unit 6 Assignment Information Ethics;Research Log Entry 1
In your research log entry,
1. discuss how the author, the publisher, the faculty member, the library, and the students can be accommodated.
->
if the owner is the publisher and that person paid the author to write the book or if the author decided to publish their work, they would get paid accordingly to the profit they made from the sales, of course how much book sold minus how many copies of books made = left over profits. Anyway, the author find a publisher to publish their work, the publisher publish the book, then the faculty members recommends the textbook,the library may buy some copies for the students to borrow in the library or might digitize a portion for online access, students may either choose to buy, borrow or look for it online.
-----
2. How can a fair arrangement be achieved?
fair arrangement can only be achieved:
User Rights in the Print World
Fair use
1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
User Rights in the Digital World
Fair Use
1. Music, lyrics, and music videos: Up to 10%, but in no event more than 30 seconds, of the music and lyrics
2. Photograph or illustration: used in its entirety, but no more than 5 images by an artist or photographer
3. Off-air recordings: 10 days to show in class; 45 days for research
4. Movies: home use vs. institutional use vs. public performance rights
---
3. What are the challenges in creating a fair arrangement for everyone?
Well, everyone likes things to be free, so its hard to create a fair arrangement for every single person to follow. another fair arrangement for people could be consider, is by considering an affordable price for the copyrighted material. if its not overly expensive, people would consider purchasing the items.

"One material that may act as a
sclerotial germinating stimulant is garlic powder used in the food processing industry. In
this study garlic powder was incorporated into the soil at three rates. Periodically
thereafter, the number of viable sclerotia in the soil dropped significantly in the treated
plots, approaching the degree of sclerotia mortality achieved with an application of methyl
bromide. Being a natural plant product, garlic powder is a readily available,
environmentally compatible, renewable resource that should pose no problem to worker
safety." pg 6

Research Log Entry 2
Create a Research Log Entry to answer the following questions:
For your first database:
1. Which database did you choose for your first search?
Britannica Online.
2. What terms did you enter to conduct your search?
the term i use is "renewable energy"
3. How many results did you retrieve?
there is 3 results as my topics. for text- there is about 31 results.
4. If there were more than about 100 results, how did you refine your search terms to narrow your results? there is not over 100 results. if there were, i would have change renewable energy into wind power or biofuel.
5. Once you got your results to around 100 (or fewer), how did you determine they were meaningful?
Well, i look for one that is most closest to my results. like for example->
renewable energy -> i would pick renewable energy, energy convention, biofuel ( if i wanna branch into the renewable energy as in brake up my topic to be more specific.
so basically, i just look from ones that i deem closest enough or meaningful.
6. Which article did you choose? Give the bibliographic information for that article (I must be able to access this article).
i choose this article -->
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/17668/renewable-energy/17668topic
basically, i just type renewable energy in the search bar. then i click text and scroll down until i see renewable energy or i just click renewable energy in the topics. the article is both there.
"renewable energy
also called alternative energy" ---> i just copy and paste the titleof the article.
i dunno what information i should put for the bibliographic information but here is the work cited of the source.
MLA Style:

this article is very informational and its hit the spot on whats im actually looking for.
For your search in Academic Search Premier
1. What terms did you enter to conduct your search?
i type "renewable energy"
2. How many results did you retrieve?
i recieved 12007 results
3. If there were more than about 100 results, how did you refine your search terms to narrow your results?
since there is over 100 results, Im gonna search for my topic by using --> alternative energy -< 1757 results,
biofuel is 2932
solar power -> 2215
since i didnt get any small results I search for using the advance option
clicking boolean pharse, full text, full reference, document type -> article
finally i receives 50 results!!
4. What differences did you note in how you needed to manipulate your search terms in this different database? i needed to go into the advance option and specify my search by clicking limiting search options for a closer range search for my topic.
5. Once you got your results to around 100 (or fewer), how did you determine they were meaningful? i click the number 3, one ->

When i look at the reference work, i choose "renewable energy" because i believed it gives me the overall understanding of all the basic renewable energy source today.
7. What makes this a reference book as opposed to a regular book you might find in the book stacks? Well, i think the regular book is just a book that have more specific information on a large scale, while the reference book is informational like a dictionary. So that's why the reference book is more helpful
when a person is looking when they want to know some information about it and not the whole entire book full of facts and information about it. Also, since a regular book have a lot of information, it tends to take longer to search for information.
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 think the information is relatively recent considering the publication date is 2007. And the book is trying to discuss the forecoming future. Also,i believe it is recent because the information is collected through research and data collecting.
2. What EXACT terms did you enter into the keyword search screen? The term i first entered is renewable energy.
3. What subject heading did you choose to be sure your item was on target and the best option for your search? I click "sorted by title" to get a more closer result. I choose the title heading for a better search.
4. What item did you eventually choose? Why? I decided to choose "Surviving the century : facing climate chaos and other global challenges / edited by Herbert Girardet" because it looks interesting and i wonder whats the climate chaos and other global challenges in the longrun and how renewable energy is the future.
