Final text

Hello everyone!

This is my final blog, my assignment is: I WILL BE DEMONSTRATING MANY OF THE RESEARCH TECHNIQUES I LEARNED IN CTEC 115 CLASS.

My topic for this week is: “Does the expansion of e. book options impact how much people read?”

First of all, I need defining my purpose/goal. This step includes defining the initial topic and starting a keyword list. I find out that what is the most important in my topic. I think it is “eBook” and “reader”

Second, I should to use the Boolean operators OR, AND, and NOT.

These search results demonstrate that I use:

OR if I want to retrieve either this term or that term (Of course, I can OR more than two terms together) OR always broaden a search.

AND when I want to combine search terms, AND always narrow a search.

NOT narrow search and retrieve records that do not contain the term following it.

I can use the information for Cannel Library, go to Clark College Library, and click at Find, and click at Articles and Databases. Find two tools for searching:

·         Academic Search Premier (EBSCOhost)

·         Proquest.

With EBSCO, if I type “electronic book” AND “reader” I have 1926 results.

                        If I type “electronic book” OR “reader” I have 144,112 results

                        If I type “electronic book” NOT “reader” I have 8,281 results.

With Proquest, if I type “electronic book” AND “reader” I get 76027 results

                        If I type “electronic book” OR “reader” I get 3114509 results

                        If I type “electronic book” NOT “reader” I get 387666 results

And now, I find my topic “Electronic book offers visionary tale” with a citation. Proquest tool will provide for me a citation, if I click at cite on the top of tool.

Works Cited

            The level of trustworthiness of an article is evaluated by A.S.P.E.C.T. system.
            A: Authority; S: Sources; P: Purpose; E: Evenness; C: Coverage; T: Timeliness.
            Now, I find out for the topic “The e-book, the e-reader, and the future of reading: As stone tablets gave way the codex, the future of reading is digital- but will the e-reader and the e-book change the nature of how we read?” with deep web.
            I believe in this article because it has enough conditions for A.S.P.E.C.T. such as:
            Author: Shaer, Matthew; Source: Newspaper; Evenness: opinions; Coverage: General Interest Periodicals – United States. Time: Last update: 2012-09-27.
            This Article points out some main ideas about good or bad for the reader when they use e.book.

As computer technology has improved, so has the e-reader, which is now seen as a salable, desirable accessory.

Forrester Research, a market research firm, recently raised its 2010 forecast for US e-reader sales from 2 million to 3 million units. According to the Codex Group, a firm that analyzes the publishing industry, 13 percent of American adults who've purchased at least one book in the past year own an e-reader, or plan to own one within the next year.

Dennis Loy Johnson, the publisher of Melville House, a Brooklyn-based press. "I can envision a future where everyone has a Kindle. But I don't think that means the eradication of books."

Eventually, my opinion is: people can go back to the old technology; they should to go to the new technology.
