ERIC Thesaurus Introduction A B C ... Z The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors, 13th Edition, contains an alphabetical listing of terms used for indexing and searching in the ERIC database. This word-by-word alphabetical display is probably the most familiar since it provides a variety of information (a "display") for each Descriptor. This includes a Scope Note (SCOPE), Used For (UF) and Use (USE) references, Narrower Terms (NT), Broader Terms (BT), and Related Terms (RT). Each of these segments of the Thesaurus display is explained in detail below. SCOPE (Scope Note) A Scope Note is a brief statement of the intended usage of a Descriptor. It may be used to clarify an ambiguous term or to restrict the usage of a term. Special indexing notes are often included.

ANSWER EACH ONE IN A SEPARTE EXAM BOOKLET WITH THE QUESTION'S NUMBER ON THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EXAM BOOKLET. DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME ON THE EXAM BOOKLET ITSELF. 1. The use of controlled vocabularies for searching bibliographic databases is best employed by those most familiar with such vocabularies and the indexing processes wherein they are employed. However, most users (that is non-information professionals) might struggle with, or otherwise misuse, such language systems. Discuss the pros and cons of using controlled vocabularies for online searching and provide your thoughts on what can be done to reconcile the desire of individuals to use a language more comfortable to them (i.e. natural language) with the qualities offered through controlled terminologies. 2. In July of 1999, the ALA president appointed a Core Values Task Force to articulate principles that "guide all types of librarians and information professionals." The Task Force cited the Library Bill of Rights , the ALA Code of Ethics , and Libraries: An American Values as policy statements that address these values. Identify and discuss four important foundations of the practice of librarianship that these items address.

26. How To Do Field Searching In Web Search Engines: A Field Trip AltaVista allows searching of the From, Subject, Summary, Newsgroup, and Keywordsfields. most fields in AltaVista are searched using a familiar approach. http://infotoday.com/online/OL1998/hock5.html

How to Do Field Searching in Web Search Engines: A Field Trip by Ran Hock ONLINE , May 1998 Information Today, Inc. You never miss the water until the well runs dry. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Y ou've all heard the folk wisdom about not taking things for granted. Field searching is something that the serious searcher has been able to take for granted when searching most databases. It lets us quickly get to a highly relevant set of records or easily find the citation for a title we know. It lets us distinguish between a sales figure of $1,000,000 and the same figure as long-term debt. With traditional online services such as Dialog, even occasional users take advantage of the ability to search specific fields. Most searchers frequently use AU=, PY=, LA=, and a few others, and literally hundreds of other fields are used for more refined searches. When precision is the goal, field searching is indispensable. However, as we explore Web search engines, we discover that there is little we can take for granted, including the ability to search within a specific field. With the typically high noise level of many straightforward Web searches, the potential value of precision tools, such as field searching, is especially obvious. Fortunately, some Web search engines do provide at least a rudimentary field search capability, but because of the immature nature of the engines, the options are neither very numerous nor particularly sophisticated.

Searching for Our Primate Ancestors in China Carnegie scientist Chris Beard discovers a new rung on the ladder of evolution Carnegie paleontologist Chris Beard tells how he made the scientific and political choices governing his selection of fossil research sites, and what it's like to discover a very early rung on the ladder of human evolution. By Chris Beard Toward the end of The Origin of Species , his landmark treatise that made the theory of evolution one of the most influential ideas in modern science, Charles Darwin wanted to give his concept a humanistic slant. Darwin knew that his new theory, which he had so elegantly supported using examples from Galapagos Islands finches, domestic animals and many more obscure representatives of the animal kingdom, applied equally to humans. His problem was to make this point without overly offending the entrenched cultural and religious beliefs of Victorian England. Darwin decided to approach the subject stealthily—he simply noted that African apes, which were still only poorly known to Western science, suggested that the original cradle of humanity might well have been the African continent. Thus in one stroke, Darwin accurately anticipated later fossil discoveries, such as the Taung baby, Lucy, and other early hominids, which most scientists now agree pinpoint Africa as the ancestral homeland of humankind. Thanks to the work of noted paleoanthropologists such as Raymond Dart, Louis and Richard Leakey, and my former professor Alan Walker, we now know that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors that lived in Africa 5-10 million years ago. Transitional forms that document this evolutionary progression, known by such formidable scientific names as Ardipithecus ramidus, Australopithecus afarensis and Homo erectus, show that early human ancestors evolved the capacity to walk on two legs (bipedalism) millions of years before their brains grew larger than those of chimpanzees. Although many gaps remain, in the grand scheme of things we know how natural selection transformed our ape-like ancestors into the thoughtful beings we are today.

McBride Get Out, Get Noticed, and Get a Job! The fact that millions of people are getting college degrees these days, coupled with such a tight labor market due to low unemployment rates, makes getting a full-time job upon graduation quite a challenge. A college degree just isn’t enough to compete; it takes knowledge and work experience to stand out in the crowd. Have you decided what you’ll do to get noticed by employers? For starters, get a job! That’s right, the old adage is true: you need work experience to get a job and you need a job to get work experience. Eighty-two percent of the employers surveyed in Michigan State University’s 1999-2000 Recruiting Trends ranked career-related work experience (such as internships, co-ops, and summer employment) at the top of their wish list for college graduates. Furthermore, in the by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), the vast majority of new and prospective college graduates have been employed in various capacities. Only 2.5 percent of the 1,218 respondents indicated that they had no work experience. So, when it comes to showing employers what you’ve got, obtaining meaningful work experience before you graduate will be your most effective marketing tool.

Early publication The only source for a majority of technological innovations Early Publication Patents and the Patenting Process A patent application is filed in the inventor's home country patent office. An applicant has 12 months to file for patents outside of the original country. So if the applicant wants to protect the invention internationally, there is essentially a 12-month period to file in other countries. An application, in most instances, is published 18 months from the original filing date. This is the first time the patent application is publicly available, meaning that the invention essentially remains hidden to the public for 18 months from the time of original filing. While the application is not a patent at this point, it is now considered prior art.

SEHR, volume 5, issue 1: Contested Polities Updated 27February 1996 searching for baba personal notes on rights and responsibilities Suad Joseph February 5, 1993 "Sis, this is Violet. Have you heard about Dad? Dad died this morning. Su, he died alone." My sister's story registers as abstractions. How? When? I ask. Violet's voice comes back over the phone, "Su, we're orphans now." How can we be orphans? We are both adults, both parents, nearing or in our fifties. I am still at my computer, working on a paper for a volume by Arab-American feminists. The paper reflects on my experiences as a working-class female immigrant from Lebanon, growing up in the 1950s in a large Lebanese, Maronite-Catholic family in a small town in upstate New York. I try to position myself in relationship to feminist, nationalist, ethnic, and class-based identity movements. The paper searches to make peace among multiple, conflicting, and powerful loyalties and identities, filtered through my relationship to my family(ies) and my culture(s). Now I must arrange to return to Lebanon with my brother and face the complexities of dealing with the Lebanese state to settle Baba's estate. In the best of times, dealing with the Lebanese state requires an ability to maneuver brokerage networks, a financial capacity to pay bribes, a patience to deal with delays and inefficiencies. Eighteen years of civil war have exaggerated the worst features of this state system. Processing inheritance matters is inordinately complex in Lebanon, especially when families, such as Baba's, have not subdivided properties.

"Linux Gazette... making Linux just a little more fun! Searching a Web Site with Linux By Branden Williams As your website grows in size, so will the number of people that visit your site. Now most of these people are just like you and me in the sense that they want to go to your site, click a button, and get exactly what information they were looking for. To serve these kinds of users a bit better, the Internet community responded with the ``Site Search''. A way to search a single website for the information you are looking for. As a system administrator, I have been asked to provide search engines for people to use on their websites so that their clients can get to their information as fast as possible. Now the trick to most search engines (Internet wide included) is that they index and search entire sites. So for instance, you are looking for used cars. You decide to look for an early 90s model Nissan Truck. You get on the web, and go to AltaVista. If you do a search for ``used Nissan truck'', you will most likely come up with a few pages that have listings of cars. Now the pain comes when you go to that link and see that 400K HTML file with text listings of used trucks. You have to either go line by line until you find your choice, or like most people, find it on your page using your browser's find command. Now wouldn't it be nice if you could just search for your used truck and get the results you are looking for in one fail swoop?

Menu based Web searching PANDIA 13. Menu based Web searching HOME If you discuss advanced Internet searching with search engine officials, they will probably tell you that most searchers are not interested in learning true Boolean searching, and that they prefer menu based search options. This may be so, but then again most searchers do not know what they are missing. We find menu based search facilities to be more confusing than Boolean searching, and they are not as flexible when it comes to building more complex queries. That being said, menu based pages for advanced searching may be quite efficient, as soon as you get a grip on how they work. (If you do not know a search form from a web address field or a pull down menu from a radio button, please read the absolute beginners text box below first.) A menu based search page will include one (or more) search forms where you enter your search query. The simplest versions will give you one form to enter all your keywords, and a pull down menu that gives various options regarding how these keywords are to be treated by the search engine. Normally these options are: All these words , meaning that the search engine is to fetch pages that have all these words on them (equals Boolean AND or +) Any words or One of these words

Back to Zuly's Zu Home Back to Zuly Writez Searching for Jesus I consider myself a person of faith, so I sought refuge in prayer that day as the television images flashed the horror. And in the quest of that faith, I went to chuch on Sunday, ready for words of hope, encouragement and comfort. I rely on my pastor for that, and he had offered such in an email earlier in the week, but his sermon that Sunday left me flat. It was about the need for "humane religion", a concept I agree with, of course, but he spent a great deal of time listing the sins of the Palestinians while neglecting the sins of Zionists who are culpable for at least some of the madness in Israel-Palestine. Anyway, it just didn't work for me. I'm sure it was a blessing to my congregation, but I needed something more, and it has taken me a couple of weeks to realize what that might be. Like most lessons, the learning came in pieces. 10 days or so after the attacks, I sat down to watch the televised tribute show, which opened with Bruce Springsteen's "My City of Ruins." In a moment of grace, my soul seized and I cried, my hearts cry sung by none another than The Boss. My city, my heart was in ruins. Lost, scared, confused, knowing more innocents were facing the wrath of a nation enraged, and yet I could not create another response. Unsure of what my personal response could or should be, I, like countless others, found refuge in song.
