Описание: Find the Information You Need is designed for the person who suspects that Google and Facebook aren't always giving them the best results for their specific information needs. Created for anyone who wants to understand how to select better information resources, deploy smarter search strategies, and evaluate results more effectively, Find the Information You Need provides: oconcrete exercises demonstrating successful queries on a variety of topics; oclear explanations of search techniques and when to use them; odescriptions of the different types of information resources available including commercial databases, digital libraries, and open-access repositories; and ohelpful advice about evaluating and organizing search results. No existing book offers what Find the Information You Need does: a plain-language text that teaches the layperson--the end-user--what information brokers, competitive intelligence professionals, and librarians know about finding authoritative information. A key advantage of this handbook is its arrangement. Students in an information discovery course can work through the book in a linear fashion from beginning to end. Others can dip into the text at any point that serves their needs. It someone is only interested in figuring out the best non-profit for their donations of money and time, they can use the chapter presenting exercises and explanations for exactly that kind of search. If they're intrigued by the exercises, they can use the chapters explaining the more technical side of information organization and access to learn more. Find the Information You Need is organized into two main sections. Section I, Make It Work, helps the become a better searcher right away by supplying practical exercises to try. The six chapters in Section I focus on concrete steps to take for results and gives only as much explanation as needed to prevent confusion. The six chapters in Section II, How and Why It Works, provide technical details and explanations of search systems and retrieval methods. Three appendices present carefully selected web-based resources where readers can find information for a broad swath of subjects. Appendix I focuses on commercial databases accessible from state library websites, at no charge to residents of the respective states. Appendix II lists freely available encyclopedias including not only Wikipedia but many others that are more focused and more authoritative. Appendix III provides links to a variety of information resources including health-related data and guidance from U.S. government agencies, huge digital libraries from major educational institutions, and other troves of knowledge treasures. Find the Information You Need can be used by high school and college students undertaking research assignments. But it treats such assignments as a quest for information that anyone in the real world of business, government, the sciences, journalism, and other fields might undertake. As a result, anyone wanting to go beyond the usual web search engine and the biases built into its algorithms can use the book to learn specific, sophisticated resources and techniques not only to search, but to also actually find useful, authoritative information.
From the Author of Lend Me a Kiss, The Weird Animal Club, and Bedtime Dinosaur Stories for Kids
From the time author Christopher J. Knott-Craig was fourteen years old, he wanted to be a heart surgeon. He had followed Professor Christiaan Barnard's career and first heart transplant in December 1967, and he wanted to be like him and work for him. Knott-Craig started his cardiac surgery training in 1980, and about six months later, his professor suggested he try a different specialty. Undaunted, he begged for a second chance, which the professor reluctantly granted.
Through perseverance, hard work, and determination, Knott-Craig became an internationally recognized pediatric cardiac surgeon. In No Crying Allowed, with self-deprecating humor, he shares a collection of essays chronicling the trials and tribulations he experienced on his journey to following his dream to succeed.
Chris Knott-Craig has assembled an anthology of essays describing some of the challenges and triumphs he has experienced during his remarkable career as a pediatric heart surgeon. Above all, the takeaway message is the importance of persistence in the face of what often appear to be insurmountable obstacles to a successful career in this daunting field of endeavor.
Описание: Uno de los temas m s cr ticos que enfrenta el catolicismo americano es la calidad de su liderazgo sacerdotal. Hay muchos recursos instructivos sobre t cnicas pastorales, pero muy pocos en el liderazgo espiritual. El autor define liderazgo pastoral y liderazgo espiritual como la capacidad de influir en la gente internamente para moverse de donde est n a donde Dios quiere ser como la capacidad de utilizar h bilmente los ritos, reglas y rituales de la iglesia para que eso suceda. Seminarios pasan la mayor parte de su tiempo haciendo hincapi en la piedad personal, pero los sacerdotes hoy no s lo deben ser bien personalmente, deben ser buenos en lo que hacen.
