...has to be treated fairly to avoid a candidate not being chosen due to discrimination. Nowhere is perfect, there will be some search consultants who have favorites and try to get them selected instead, but all firms should be striving to avoid that practice. Evaluation This article had some deal to do with business conduct. When reading this article, the ethical dilemma in Chapter three comes to mind. Lavonda had been recruited to another pharmaceutical firm. But how it she was recruited was not, by any means, appropriate. The case itself said that Lavonda was “lured away from her last company because of her expertise in the pharmaceutical industry and early success in management”. How Lavonda was recruited is exactly how the article “Searching for the Top” described not to do. The article also mentions lying. In chapter three, it also discussed how lying was unethical. “Lying can be segmented into (1) causing damage or harm; (2) a ‘white lie,’ … an excuse or...

I tried to find out how the ISIS attack in Paris influenced the travel companies which are connected to Paris. EBSCOhost uses the Boolean logic so you can add specific words for your search.

... Short Case 11, page pg 228: Responses: The first step would be to document and exam the process for which the cash collection happens. At that point you will need to interview the people involved. The only other step you could have taken is setting up surveillance cameras in the area where cash collection happens, but that won’t necessarily catch the fraudulent collection of cash. Short Case 13, page pg 228: Responses: 1. When looking at the employee’s computers you need to be aware that he could possibly have some private information on there. This could be looked at as an invasion of privacy and a breach of the 4th amendment. 2. You could search the computer manually through using the internet history and searching through his email. You best bet is to get a forensic software like forensic toolkit to take a thorough look into the possible fraud. 3. Yes, you should be able to if you find that he is the seller of the product.

...I began my search process through the EBSCO Discovery Service bar on Clarion University by starting with the keywords “LGBTQ AND librar*” in order to receive library and libraries in the results. This brought up over 32,000 results - I narrowed the search down to 2012-2017, Full Text, and Academic Articles to start - which brought it down to about 4,600. I knew that I did not want young adults or children, nor did I want collection development articles, which unfortunately consisted of many of the results. The first article I found was Self-Censorship in Selection of LGBT-Themed Materials by Jennifer Downey. While this article is not a library service, per say, it does speak pointedly about how librarians should treat the idea of LGBT lifestyle in their performances, whether it is purchasing materials or seeking out the community. The next item that came up was Where is the “T”? Improving Library Service to Community Members who are Transgender-Identified by Kelly Thompson. This was a great result to find as the majority of LGBTQ resources seem to primarily focus on L, G, and B, but not the trans community. From here, I decided to review the subject categories the articles fell under and selected “Libraries and LGBT people” for results. However, nothing of significant interest came up because it dealt with youth, it was older than five years, or tackled another topic outside of library services. Going back the search bard, I altered my search with an asterisk - “LGBT* AND librar*”...

Fowler raised the money for his search fund, Montebello Capital, with a partner.The funding took less than five months and currently Montebello is in the heat of looking for an acquisition in the Western u.s. with $1–5 million ebitda parameters. Fowler found the n e t wo r k o f ot he r s e arc h f un d er s a helpful guide for advice and for investor names. When asked about the necessity of having private equity or deal experience, Fowler said that lack of such experience was not a disadvantage (he was previously a consultant). Somoza’s fund, Quest Management Corporation,is focused on Puerto Rico. He talked about the difficulties of the search process when targets that looked attractive had either cooked books or the founders walked away at the last minute. Such is what happened to a deal in the outdoor advertising space, so he decided to found his own company in this space—an atypical result for a search fund. The investors were on board, and his company now has 22 employees. Reynolds represented the investor p e rs p e c t ive.

...Laquan Gordon * Why should students know how to identify credible information on the Internet? * * Students should know how to identify credible information on the internet because the internet is not just designed for research. Though it is fast and convenient there is no reliable assistance when you are confused. Anyone can put anything on the internet so if you just take everything for what it is there is a possibility to get not so credible information. Doing research on the internet as a student is very important and many students use this information for papers or other assignments. Without the ability of identifying credible a student runs the risk of basing an assignment around information that is misguided, disproven, or flat out untrue. This is why students should learn how to not only gather information but also evaluate it for accuracy and credibility. * * Describe three strategies that students can use to identify which search results are worth exploring when using the Internet to research a topic? There are quite a few strategies students can use to identify which search results are worth exploring. Firstly, looking at the URL is the most important strategy to me. Looking for ".org", ".gov", or ".edu" in the URL is very important. The website name is also important when doing research, remembering that sites like Wikipedia are not as credible as TheNationalGeographic.com, for example. Most things ending in “.com” may not be the most...

...company were looking for an employee within the database system they could search using last names. Say department A has Smith, Jones, Brown, Doe. Department B has Doe, White, Turner, Smith. The union of these sets would be written as follows: A U B = {Jones, Brown, Doe, Smith, White, Turner} The sets intersect with the two names in common, Doe and Smith. That would be written as: A n B= {Doe, Smith} The logical “and” and the logical “or” are important for database retrieval and flowcharts to help the system or reader to understand which way they need to go to seek out the information requested. Simple and compound statements help understand this notion. To help understand this let’s refer back to the original example. If the person searching the company database wanted to find a specific employee they would search for the last name and maybe first initial. This would take the search from a simple statement to a compound statement. The database would then need to search for the last name first and when it found the right name, Smith, it would then need to search for the first initial...

...research as well as creates a scholarly foundation. By starting with a literature review a researcher can determine which articles are pertinent to his or her topic. Fain (2009) has determined while doing a literature review, the researcher needs to determine how far back the articles should go, what type of literature should be researched as well as how many articles and books are needed for an adequate literature review. There are a few steps that need to happen in order to ensure an exhaustive literature review has occurred. The researcher should begin with a PICOT question- generated keywords (Melnyk & Fineout-Overhold, 2011, pg. 69). Additional steps would include the following; establishing inclusion/exclusion criteria prior to searching to ensure that the answer question is identifiable; using controlled vocabulary headings; using tools in different database software can also aid in different aspects of the search, such as expanding the search and using the explode option (Melnyk & Fineout-Overhold, pg. 69). It is important to understand certain statistical data associated with the research when performing critical appraisal of the literature because the researcher needs to ensure the statistics used in the research summarize only the numerical data. If faulty data was used in can misrepresent and alter the outcome. If anything is misrepresented or altered this can affect whether or not the research outcome is reliable or not. Reference: Fain, J.
