For this assignment, I wanted to take a little different approach. Unfortunately, I find very little time to do any personal reading while I still in school. Over time, I have compiled quite a long list of books to read once I finally decide to hang up the whole education thing, or at least cut it back a bit. The approach I took for this assignment was to assess a few of the sites mentioned in the syllabus (Google Books, Library Thing, Good Books) and search for the titles on my list. I want to see if the site lists the book I am looking for, whether it offers quality reviews of the resource, information on where to purchase the resource, or if alternatives resources are mentioned.
My current top ten list is as follows:
1. The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy (Third Edition) edited by Loretto Dennis Szucs and Sandra Hargreaves Luebking
2. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
3. The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks
4. The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man by Brett McKay and Kate McKay
5. Candide by Voltaire
6. The Perfectly Useless Book of Useless Information: You’ll Never Need to Know Anything That’s in This Book…But Read It Anyway by Don Voorhees
7. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
8. Confessions by Augustine
9. Bartimaeus: The Ring of Solomon by Jonathan Stroud
10. Storm Front (The Dresden Files, Book 1) by Jim Butcher
I would like to first start by saying that I very seldom use any of the sites examined for this assignment. In fact, I had never used Library Thing or Good Reads prior to this exercise. However, after just a few minutes of use, I quickly found that I loved Library Thing over Google Books and Good Reads.
All three sites examined were very easy to use, but the features quickly separated the winners from the losers. Google Books allows the user to quickly search by subject and to search for full text. The site provides the user alternative book covers, reviews, sites to purchase the books, and even a few suggestions of alternatives resources. The overall feeling was just like performing a basic Google search.
Good Reads offers the user everything Google does, but the reviews seem to be more informative. The user is presented with videos, reading groups, quotes from the resource, and other books written by the author. The search feature was not very good, in fact, a search for “Freakonomics” brought up nothing when spelled “Freakanomics.” Google Books is not that sensitive. Since I’m not a member of Good Read, I cannot completely review the site, since some features might be reserved for members.
Library Thing provides the user a wealth of information on books. However, I would like to quickly point out that Library Thing, like Good Reads, is quite sensitive, in terms of searching. When replicating the example above, the same results were experienced. What Library Thing lacks in searching is made up in features. Library Things offers the user all the features mentioned previously with Good Reads and Google Book, with the exception of full text. The user can utilize tagging and tag clouds, ratings, book descriptions, external references, links to other resource sites such as Google, WorldCat, Amazon, and Abe Books, and, the most interesting feature, links to book trading sites.
Library Thing’s recommendations and reviews changed my opinion on a few of the books on my list and lead me to alternatives on the same or similar topic. The tagging feature was great in aiding in my search for alternative resources, especially when it cam to genealogy. It also generated a list of nearby bookstores and libraries that carried the text along with the addresses and telephone numbers. It also offers the user a price comparison of several sites where they can buy the resource online.
Hands down, Library Thing sold me on becoming a member. I was also impressed with SwapTree, the book trading site. Library Thing’s site is not really eye candy, but it most definitely gets the job done. The one factor that I was unable to determine was the extent of resources in Library Thing’s database. I attempted to find some obscure resources, in which out of two attempts I found nothing. I think it really depends on the user to determine which site is better. I prefer Library Thing; however, someone who is familiar with Google would probably find Google Books more appealing and user friendly. However, the features utilized by Library Thing are fantastic.

Assignment 9
There was quite a difference between using Google Scholar and the KentLINK databases in finding resources for the bibliography list. Below this commentary, you will find my results from Google Scholar. In reviewing both resources, I examined each based on five criteria: which search terms used, access to full text information, ease of use, quality of results, and time.
The topic used for both this assignment and the previous one was copyright and access, which is a pretty broad topic to begin with. Search terms used for both inquiries were copyright, access, copyright and access, copyright and libraries, and access and libraries. The only other feature used, related to terms, was with the KentLINK database, in which I used the preferred terms list to see if my results varied. The preferred terms list was definitely a plus for the KentLINK databases.
In both, Google Scholar and KentLINK, I took advantage of the special features and preferences to enhance my search. As it relates to Google Scholar, I eliminated patents and selected a grouping, which was Social Sciences, Arts, and Humanities. Please note, that Google Scholar only provide the user six groupings to narrow results. The KentLINK databases provided several more options, in terms of subjects. This enables the user to focus on articles related to a specific topic, in which I chose Library and Information Science. Again, this was a plus for KentLINK.
In terms of ease of search, I found that Google Scholar was much quicker at providing results. However, the quality of those results is another issue. The use of additional features in KentLINK slowed down the information retrieval process and, if not savvy, the user could have difficulty finding accurate results.
The quality of the results was varied for both. As noted in my previous assignment, the results generated with the KentLINK databases provided several articles not related to the search terms used; even with the appropriate filters. However, please note that some of the terms used were rather broad. On the other end, Google Scholar generated a lot of law reviews and legal journals relating to copyright and access. It wasn’t until I used different terms, was I able to find result suitable for the Library and Information Science field. In my opinion, I felt that the results generated by the KentLINK databases were generally better, but there wasn’t a gigantic difference. However, based on my past experiences the KentLINK databases are much better then Google Scholar.
In terms of time used, Google Scholar was much faster. However, if you don’t get the results and information you need, then time really doesn’t matter. Plus, nobody said that research is a breeze. Overall, I was still able to find several quality articles on Google Scholar, so if I was in a quick need for information Google Scholar could meet my information need. However, if I was doing in-depth research, hands down, the KentLINK is the winner. It really boils down to the information need in determining which is better.

Assignment 8
I chose to do my bibliography on Copyright and Access. I was able to find several sources in just a few minutes. I found it a little easier to use the Social Science Citation Index database to search and sort. I then compared them to the Library Literature and Information Science Full Text database. I am not sure what process others went through, but I would be curious to know. I also found that some of the features in the Social Science Citation Index database did not work all that well. I search by topic and then sorted by field (Library and Information Science), which was then sorted by number of citations. My results included articles in the medical field that were not in relation to the topic I was searching. I tried this a couple of difference ways and still got similar results. In fact, I had to skim through two pages of results before I started to get information relevant to the topic I was searching for. Nevertheless, I found two pages worth of citations, which you will find below.

Assignment 7
For Assignment 7, my goal was to search for photographs or prints relating to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. This area has special meaning for me, as an aviation buff. Having worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, specifically with the National Aviation Hall of Fame, I was hoping to find picture related to the museum, the precursor to the base, Wright Field, the Wright-Brothers, Huffman Prairie, and one of my favorite places in Dayton, Wright Brothers Hill. Wright Brothers Hill is home to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, the National Parks Service Wright Brothers Interpretive Center, and a beautiful view of Wright-Patterson’s main runway. Military and civilian aircraft fly right in front of your face as they approach the runway to land or take-off. The hill also played an important role in the Wright Brothers testing of aircraft. It is also one of the best places to sled in the winter.
Having said that, the terms used in my search were Wright-Patterson, Wright Brothers, Huffman Prairie, Wright Brothers National Memorial, Wright Brothers Hill, National Museum of the Unites States Air Force, U.S. Air Force Museum, Wright Field, and Wright-Patt Air Force Base. Surprisingly, I was unable to locate pictures of the museum, Wright Brothers Hill, or the memorial, which was my focus. The pictures I did locate focused on the Wright Brothers and Huffman Prairie. There were also several pictures of the base, but focused on pictures of the base during World War II.
I was a bit surprised that I didn’t find any pictures of the Wright Brothers National Memorial with it being a National Memorial at a major military installation, which involved two of the biggest historical figures of recent time. However, the Library of Congress site is still fantastic and I still found several excellent pictures that relate to the photos I was in search of. I love the ability to download the image and the information on how to obtain copies and access the original photo.

Assignment 6
For assignment 6, I wanted to continue in my passion for all things aviation, so I decided to create a gallery of pictures related to flying. I found this assignment to be a little exciting, since I have had a desire to do a little amateur photography. I took this opportunity to browse pictures in which I would have taken. To me flying is about more than just the aircraft itself, it is the ability to live in another dimension; the freedom to see the world in a different way.
I wanted to search for photos of different types of aircraft, so I searched using the terms like balloon, hot air balloon, blimp, jet aircraft, helicopter, and glider. I also searched using action words like flying, soaring, and gliding. All terms provided great images; however, the action words provided a greater range of images, many of which were not related to the type of image I was in search of. I had better results using the proper name of the object I was looking for, rather than the action.
Having been the first time I had really used Flickr, I must say that I was impressed. I enjoyed searching for the images and creating the gallery. I love being able to share images with others and to be honest, it has inspired me to pick up my camera and start shooting. I hope to upload my own images soon, so that I can utilize the tagging feature. The neatest thing I found was within minutes of creating the gallery, someone had already viewed it.
My gallery on Flickr is titled "Flying!", so check it out.
