Everything Digital Photography Book: Utilize the latest technology to take ...By Ric deGaris Doble
Citation information
Ric de Garis Doble. Everything Digital Photography Book. Publish by Adams Media, an F+W Publications Company 57 Littlefield street, Ave. MA 02322. Print.
Rick Doble (Richard Degaris Doble)
Editor of Savvy Discounts
background
The idea for SAVVY-DISCOUNTS.com came from Editor Rick Doble who has a life long passion for getting the very best deals. He learned his skills from his father who was also a life-long bargain hunter (who, for example, never bought a new car but usually a two-year-old used car). Doble put himself through graduate school without taking out a loan. He managed to live quite well on a modest budget and this financial freedom allowed him to buy a home and start his own photography business in Durham, North Carolina and now the SAVVY-DISCOUNTS.com .
Doble has a Master’s Degree in Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1975 with a B.A. in English (Honors in Writing) also from UNC-Chapel Hill, in 1966. He has read Consumer Reports on a regular basis since he was ten years old and worked as a reporter for various newspapers and magazines since 1970.
Summary:
In all of these ways, such as: Cannel Book Catalog, Summit Book Catalog, IT Pro, Google Books; I think that Cannel Book Catalog and Summit Book Catalog are good tools for my research, because they are comfortable, easily, simple for all of us. IT Pro has a lot of formality; IT Pro is just for professional person. Google books, sometime it is good, sometime it is bad; some page is not clearly from form letter, I can read it anymore.
Eventually, I realize that Cannel Library has been good tool for all of us for research information.

  1. Hi, Sinh:

    Nice work. I'm glad you found the Cannell Library catalog easy to use. You were able to identify relevant books as well as subject headings and where to find these items on the shelf. IT Pro is pretty complex but a good place to find technology information. Now you have tools to evaluate books just using the book record and that can be a time saver.

    Cheers,
    Andrea
