...Shopping There are many different ways to shop. To some people, shopping is a chore and is approached in that manner. These shoppers know what they need, go get the items they need, and leave. To others shopping is just for fun. These people can spend an entire day window shopping and buy absolutely nothing. To others, myself included, shopping is a combination of both of the above mentioned.

It combines knowing what you want and getting it for the best price by shopping around. Bargain shopping takes time because you must use different resources such as newspaper ads, consumer reports, and the internet, to name a few.

...Federated Searching: A New Era “Only librarians like to search; everyone else likes to find” (Tennant, 2003). While most librarians teach research strategies including: Boolean logic, accessing carefully chosen databases, and indexing; students are often discouraged and frustrated using these techniques. Most students simply want to Google their requests. For many students a simple keyword search is a convenient, simple process for locating information. Federated searching is providing options that may strike a happy medium for students and librarians alike by providing a keyword option to access the library’s databases. Federated searching is software or a service that allows multiple sources to be searched simultaneously. A library is required to purchase software and/or a service agreement from a vendor that provides access to information in the databases and on the Web. Using a search protocol, like Z39.50, the engine scans various databases, the Web, and library catalogs concurrently and provides an organized result for the searcher’s query. Metasearches are performed across both bibliographic and full-text databases. One major advantage of a federated search is that the query does not have to be repeated with various databases. When federated searching works well, it reduces the amount of time students spend locating data and encourages them to search for more information. “The goal of many federated search tools is to make the interface as simple and streamlined...

Abstract This paper explores the ethics of the internet search engine, Google, using algorithms for tracking their users’ search quires and their internet history through their email and how using this information, extends the benefits of this technology to users and to businesses. Although, many people view this as a liability, they do not understand how much information about their preferences are invaluable to businesses in order for them to make profitable advertisements. Most of the public view this as a liability as they do not understand how Google does not specifically track the person at all the algorithm only records what the user has accessed online. There will also be recommendations for users who are still uncomfortable with having limited search quires available for third-party corporations. Ethics of Google’s Tracking System It is clearly visible that the internet is a highly useful resource that can be used for economic expansion. According to the Encyclopedia of Computer Science (2003), the internet started by the name of Arpanet which was used as research work for the U.S. Department of Defense. The internet has evolved very much since then. Now, everything is related to the internet whether it is a social network, shopping, and an outlet for advertising.

...Week 1: Assignment 2 Examine Computer Forensics and Privacy Computers and the Internet have become a pervasive element in modern life. This technology is also used by those who engage in crime and other misconduct. Effective investigation of these offenses requires evidence derived from computers, telecommunications and the Internet. The need for digital evidence has led to a new areas of criminal investigations: Computer Forensics. Forensic investigators identify, extract, preserve and document computer and other digital evidence. This new field is less than fifteen years old, and is rapidly evolving. Education in this field has focused largely on its technical aspects. However, there are significant legal issues and ethical problems that investigators must deal with. Failure to follow proper legal procedure will result in evidence being ruled inadmissible in court. As a result, a guilty criminal might go free. Failure to behave in an ethical manner will erode public confidence in law enforcement, making its job more difficult and less effective. Investigators must have a working knowledge of legal issues involved in computer forensics. They must know what constitutes a legal search of a stand-alone computer as opposed to a network; what laws govern obtaining evidence and securing it so that the chain of evidence is not compromised; what telecommunications may lawfully be intercepted or examined after they have been received; what legally protected privacy rights...

...PHL/458 Date Instructor Solve a Problem Four Stages in the Creative Process According to Ruggiero, (2009), “The creative process has four stages which are: searching for challenges, expressing the particular problem or issue, investigating the problem, and producing a variety of ideas” (p. 105). The first stage of the creative process is searching for challenges. During this stage of the process a person should become accustomed to the habit of constantly searching for a challenge. It is important to note that a person can be creative only in response to challenges that he or she perceives (p. 105). The second stage in the creative process is expressing the problem or issue. The objective of this process is to find the best expression of the problem that will provide the most helpful ideas. A common mistake made in this stage of the process is seeing the problem from only one perspective and therefore closing oneself off to other points of view (p. 106). The third stage in the creative thinking process is investigating the problem or issue. The objective of this stage is to obtain the necessary information to deal with the problem or issue. This can be done by searching experiences and observing them for information pertinent to the problem at hand. The fourth stage of the process is producing ideas. “The objective of this stage is to produce enough ideas to decide what action to take or what belief...

However, hiring the right candidate on the first attempt will increase employee productivity, create a successful employment relationship, and impact the work environment positively. In today’s world of high-end technology there are many new ways to recruit the right talent. Many human resource generalists are discovering that a combination of both old and new methods works well for them.

...Learning Preference Crystal D. Lynch Grand Canyon University NRS 429V November 11, 2012 Learning Style After completing the Vark questionnaire, this author showed a strong preference for learning by reading and writing. In the reading and writing learning preference, this preference is for information displayed as words (Fleming, 2001). Many students and teachers show a high preference toward this type of style. The ability to write, and read well are attributes widely sought by employers of recent graduates. In this learning style, emphasis is on text based input and output, using all forms of material especially manuals, reports, essays and textbooks (Fleming, 2001). People who prefer this model spend hours on the internet, gravitating toward power point presentations over audio presentation. In defining the reading and writing learning strategy, the author identified that the reading and writing learning model uses intake of material in a text-based format. It uses lists, headings, dictionaries, handouts and textbooks as the prime source of intake material. Notes taken during lecture and manuals are also used as a source. When preparing to study, rewriting notes taken during lecture, and reading notes over and over, either out loud or silently, are some strategies used in this type of learning style. When preparing for test assignments or exams, taking practice exams with multiple choice questions is often helpful for students with the preference...
