Muddiest point for week #7
I understand that Google uses the Crawling method to give its users the result they need, how about Yahoo and other search engines, do they use the same method, or there are different methods that search engines use?
Reading for Week # 9
1)W3schools HTML Tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/
2)HTML Cheatsheet http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/HTML_Cheatsheet/
- These WebPages are about how to use and learn the HTML Language
- They teach the basics element of how to write HTML code.
- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
- And it is not considered a programmer language.
- It is a markup language which is a markup tags.
- The main purpose of the Web browsers is to read the HTML language. For example , Explorer and Firefox are the web browsers that read HTML language without showing the HTML tags
3)W3 School Cascading Style Sheet Tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/css/
- CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets
- The purpose of CSS is to describe the element of HTML ‘
- And it defines how HTML displays
- There are more than one CSS. For example, there are CSS Background, CSS Text , CSS Font, CSS Border, CSS Outline, CSS Margin, CSS Padding, CSS List, CSS Table, CSS Dimension and CSS Display.
- So as you see here there are different CSS to set and describe the element for the HTML
4)Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system. Library Hi Tech, 24(1), 29-53.
“The web guides were extremely diverse on a visual level. Each librarian, as well as the Student assistants and support staff who also worked on the pages, used different fonts, colors
And layout designs. Navigation was hampered by the lack of agreed-upon guidelines for content arrangement and labeling. While some librarians utilized their previous experience with
FrontPage or other web editing programs, others had never created a single web page. The lack
of any training system to address these differing web page and site-building skills among the
Librarians were also a factor affecting the quality and consistency of the guides.”
This paper shows how the web development librarian and the web programmer work together to find new system that can set policies and guidelines in place to help the fifteen liaison librarians.

Reading for week # 7
1) Tyson, Jeff. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet-infrastructure.htm/printable
I am going to summarize the important terms in this reading
- The Internet Society is a non-profit group established in 1992, oversees the formation of the policies and protocols that define how we use and interact with the Internet.
- (ISP) stands for Internet Service Provider
- (LAN) stands for local area network (
- (POP) stands for Point of Presence. The POP is a place for local users to access the company's network, often through a local phone number or dedicated line.
- NAPs stands for Network Access Points
- The routers: determine where to send information from one computer to another. Routers are specialized computers that send your messages and those of every other Internet user speeding to their destinations along thousands of pathways.
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) created the first high-speed backbone in 1987.
- Internet Protocol or IP Addresses :Every machine on the Internet has a unique identifying number,
- RL: Uniform Resource Locator: when you use the Web or send an e-mail message, you use a domain name to do it.
- Internet Protocol: Domain Name System: When the Internet was in its infancy, it consisted of a small number of computers hooked together with modems and telephone lines.
- Root DNS servers: would start its search for an IP address by contacting one of the
- Internet servers make the Internet possible. All of the machines on the Internet are either servers or clients

By reading this article I found that librarians have a significant impact on technology. According to the article “Librarians are dismantling systems, and creating new modules, out of frustration with the inflexible nonextensible technology of their propriety system.” Because of that we as librarians we have to make sure that we have good knowledge about technology so we can keep up with the expanding of technology to benefit our libraries
Sergey Brin and Larry Page: Inside the Google machine.
The video was very interesting and I liked it. I think Google are going in a right direction. They try to invent things that can help not just their society but also they want to benefit the whole world this video is old, now Google works on new project called “WAVE” which is a host conversation. People can see what you write in the email immediately if they are online.

Reading Week # 6
1) Local Area Network: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Area_Network
This reading talks about LAN which stands for local area network. LAN is “a computer network covering a small physical area, like a home, office, or small group of buildings, such as a school, or an airport”. There are two kind of LAN: smaller and larger LAN .smaller LAN consists of one or more switches linked. But at least one of them connects to a router, cable modem, or ADSL modem for Internet access. However the lager LAN uses redundant linked with switches to prevent loops. Moreover LAN can be connected together through leased lines.
Computer network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_networkCommon types of computer networks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dpgqDdfUjQ
The second reading talks about Computer network. Computer Network is more than one computer and they are interconnected. There are three type of Wired technology: Twisted-Pair Wire (used in telephone), Coaxial Cable (TV) and Fiber Optics (transmits light). And there are six types Wireless Technologies: Terrestrial Microwave (satellite dishes), Communications Satellites(Earth-orbiting systems), Cellular and PCS Systems (antenna device), Wireless LANs, Bluetooth(open wireless protocol),and The Wireless Web(World Wide Web through equipments like cellular phones). Then it talks about type of networks and network topology such as bus network, star network, ring network, mesh network, star-bus network, tree or hierarchical topology network. All networks consists of hardware components.
Coyle, K. (2005). Management of RFID in libraries. Journal of Academic Librarianship
I did hear about RFID before when I was in a business school. But I did not know that RFID can help librarians in many ways. I like the ideas that Coyle points in her articles about how libraries can benefit in the future from this technology. Moreover, I hope in the future , RFID can solve many challenges that librarians face in library
