Exercise 4

1) Wher can you find information about Noble Prize? Who get the Noble Prize this year?
  • The Nobel Prize Internet Archive is fully interactive. If you have an interesting and useful Internet link about a particular Nobel Laureate, you can add your link instantly to that laureate's home page here at the Archive. We encourage you to add links as often as you like. The educational value of this Archive depends on contributions and resourcefulness its users. Want to try it out? Why not roll the dice, and start with a random Nobel link!?
  • No one.
2) Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://librery.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get.
  • The history of the automobile did not just begin with Henry Ford and the Model T, as you may believe. In fact, Henry Ford is not even regarded as the inventor of the modern automobile. A German engineer, Carl Benz, is generally considered the inventor of modern automobiles, although his invention used engines and other parts invented by numerous others who were working on the concept at the same time. The automobile was not the creation of a single inventor; the path to the modern automobile actually begins centuries ago in theoretical drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and their contemporaries.
    The first vehicles capable of carrying people were actually steam-powered, and in existence by the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is during this era that hand brakes, transmissions, and steering mechanisms, among other automobile components, were developed. Most of these developments came in the UK, but in response to worries about dangerously high speeds, an 1865 act required such vehicles to be preceded by a man on foot with a flag and a horn. This effectively curtailed automobile development there for several decades.
3) What is the difference between general book and reference book?
  • Reference Book in a library is one that may only be used in the library and not borrowed from the library. Many such books are reference works (in the first sense) which are usually used only briefly or photocopied from, and therefore do not need to be borrowed. Keeping them in the library assures that they will always be available for use on demand. Other reference-only books are ones that are too valuable to permit borrowers to take them out. Reference-only items may be shelved in a reference collection located separately from circulating items or individual reference-only items may be shelved among items available for borrowing.
  • General books are books available on the library. Bookstore and ect ... to read books of all ages.

4) When do you need to search information from the reference collection?

  • When i'm work and study.
5) What type of reference collection that you like to use most? and Why?
  • Dictionary because I use dictionary Since the child. And until today I still use it today and foreign language communication is important. dictionary is very important to find information to develop language skills.

6) Read some book and summary.

  • I should ATLAS
  • From : The times world atlas book.

2). DC & LC classification

  • DC

DC is a cross-platform reverse-polish desk calculator which supports arbitrary-precision arithmetic. It is one of the oldest Unix utilities, predating even the invention of the C programming language; like other utilities of that vintage, it has a powerful set of features but an extremely terse syntax. Traditionally, the more user-friendly (with its infix notation) bc calculator program was implemented on top of dc, although more modern implementations are related in the opposite fashion: dc uses bc's library for arithmetic.
This article provides some examples in an attempt to give a flavour of the language; for a complete list of commands and syntax you should consult a manual page for your implementation.

  • LC

LC is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Saint Lucia. Any entity may register domain names under .lc once guidelines are met.

3). Access the library website : What is the call number?

*http://www.unescobkk.org/th/

*http://thaiastro.nectec.or.th/library/library.html

*http://www.elib-online.com/

  • A call number is like a book's address. Each item in a library has a unique call number that you use to locate it on the shelf. (A book has a sticker on its spine that lists its call number.) On library shelves, items are arranged in call number order.

4). What are sources of knowledge? Identify as much as you know

  • We all continually learn new things in life. Constantly increasing our knowledge is essential if we are to progress further or develop ourselves.
    Whatever field we are involved in, we always have to look for ways and means to expand our knowledge. Increase in knowledge in a particular subject can lead to better understanding, grasp, judgement, intelligence and ability in that area. It can expand our thinking and heighten our expertise on a topic.
    So how do we go about gaining knowledge? What are the sources of knowledge? Below I am listing a few sources from which we gain knowledge in any field.

1. People: I think people are the biggest source of knowledge for anybody. Right from childhood, we have learned things by watching others. Whatever field you want to gain knowledge in, there must be many who have enough experience in that field.
So make use of this valuable source of information by learning from the experience, accomplishments, mistakes and expertise of others. Study carefully and associate with people who are experts in the field you want to gain knowledge about.

2. Books: The next best source of knowledge can be books. There are millions and millions of books written throughout the world in every language and on almost any topic imaginable. Whatever problem you are facing must have been faced by somebody else before, and its solution is likely to have been preserved in the form of a book. If you are serious about gaining knowledge on a topic, then read any book, magazine, article etc. you can lay your hands on related to that topic. Read as much as you can.

3. Experience:
This is another important resource for the seeker of knowledge. It is said that experience is a great teacher, so learn from your past experiences and the experience of others. Learn from your and others' past and present achievements as well as mistakes.

4. Experimentation and observation: Experimentation is to try out new things and observation is to pay attention to small and big details.
If you want to learn something new, you may have to experiment and observe a lot. You would need to explore in deep, try out new things to see what works and what does not. Observe not just your own efforts, but also of others.
Experimenting new things and observation can help you in learning very quickly. People who do not experiment or observe much may take a long time to learn. Keep in mind though, that while experimenting, you may encounter a few failures too. Do not become discouraged as failures are a part of the learning curve, specially while attempting something new. Try to learn from failures instead of becoming disheartened.

5.Thinking and pondering: While learning a new thing, you need to concentrate a lot. Just reading lots of books is not sufficient as you need to fully grasp what you are reading. Deep understanding about a subject is likely to come only through deep thinking and contemplation.

5). What do you read this week?

  • Cawaii magazine : read about fashion(make up, hair, Clothes.)
