Exploring Topic
In this subject, I want
to share with you about how explore a topic online. I have already prepared for
two topics: “Digital Imaging” and “Music and Mathematics”.
I have two ways for my working:
1. Using
Wikipedia.
2. Using
a Deep Web Database: Subject Encyclopedias.
Using
Wikipedia:
·
Open a new window and go to
Wikipedia.org.
·
Enter my topic in internet window, and
choose the language.
·
Key word:
v Digital
audio, digital audio, digital content, digitally, digital entertainment, digital
information, digital photography…
v Music
and mathematics, music (philosophy), music Theory, music: music religion,
overview of music, mathematics…
I opened and received
some information about “Digital Imaging” and “Music and Mathematics”; but I did
not find: author of articles, title of the source, publisher, and city, even
page number. And then, I point out a conclusion is: I cannot use the information
on Wikipedia for my essay or any writing that I use in college, because I
cannot cite the sources for them. That is also known as plagiarism. I wonders
that “Don’t worry about that!” then I go to reference and click one of all subjects.
I had some information
Title of article: Math
and Music: Harmonious Connections.
Author of
article: Garland, Trudi Hammel; Kahn,
Charity Vaughan
Title
of the source: N/A
Publisher,
city, and date of publication: Dale Seymour Publications, P.O. Box 10888, Palo
Alto, CA 94303-1879. 1995.
Page number:
162.
Using
a Deep Web Database: Subject Encyclopedias
·
Open the website in a new window: http://library.clark.edu/, click Find, and
then click Articles and databases. In the right side click in Gale Virtual
Reference Library.
·
Appear page GVRL, then type the topic “Digital
Imagine” or “Music and Mathematics” in advanced search window.

Then I click at “Mathematic society”,
because in this topic has some information about art, music. Next I click at
Title page. Finally I click at citation tools.
I
have:
Title
of article: Mathematics and Society
Author
of article: Ed. Sarah J. Greenwald and Jill
E. Thomley
Title of the source: “Encyclopedia of Mathematics and
Society.”
Publisher, city and date of publication
of the encyclopedia:
Pasadena, CA:
Salem Press, 2012. [iii]. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 12 Oct.
2012.
Before I search my topic, I should
answer some question such as:
1.
What is my topic?
2.
What is a key for my searching? What
is something that relate to my topic?
3.
How can I find them easily?
Summary
The best way for exploring the topic
in internet people should define something such as:
·
Topic
·
Something relate to the topic
·
The guide lines for searching
·
Brainstorm for the way to find.
Comparing between two ways for
searching:
1.
Wikipedia website
2.
Deep Web Database.
Wikipedia
|
Deep Web Database
|
Easier
Simple information
From a lot of source and author
|
Harder
Copious language, deep content
Famous authors with high level
education.

The most important is doing not
forget to cite sources. Good luck
Hi, Sinh:
ReplyDeleteGood work. I wanted you to create questions based on your topic, such as How do math and music affect other learning?
I can tell you spent time exploring both resources and observing what they each have to offer.
Cheers,
Andrea
