Types of Information: Focus on Books
I found the e-book "Web radio: radio production for Internet streaming" in the Channell Library quite helpful.

- Author- a conference publication leads me to believe the author is an authority on the subject.
- Publisher- Springer a publishing company 170 years old with more than 150 published Nobel prize winners.
- How does this search differ from the Channell Library?
- this deep web tool was a bit clumsy in comparison. Feels more like Google searching where the other feels more like i'm at the library.
My experience with IT Pro
- IT Pro is an insightful deep web tool. I appreciate the many fields for additional conditions. I especially like that you can search by publisher. This would make using reputable sources much easier. I can't say that i understand the Boolean search but i'll have plenty of time to learn.
Via Google Books I found "The Radio Station: Broadcast, Satellite & Internet"
- Search Terms
- Internet and radio
- Citation
- Keith, Michael C . "The Radio Station: Broadcast, Satellite & Internet." Ed. Anglina Ward. Burlington: CRC Press, 2012. N .web. 11 may 2013
- ASAP
- Age-2012
- Sources- the authors professional experience in the field seems qualification enough.
- Author- according to his website has written over 20 electronic media books. Served as Chair of Education at the Museum of Broadcast Communications.
- Publisher- CRC Press is a well established publisher of scientific material.
Summing It Up
- This experience has been quite informative. I find Google books to be the most user friendly and i will probably use it more often than anything else. If i felt i needed more control in the search i would probably use IT Pro. I enjoy the old fashioned aesthetics of the Channel Library search. I feel ready to gather information whatever my needs with all of these tools at my disposal.
Thanks,
Melissa

Hi, Melissa:
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thorough report. I'm glad you were able to find relevant books in each resource. It's pretty amazing how different the search interfaces are. You did a good job identifying the clues to trustworthiness. You won't necessarily have to do that for every book but it's a good way to see how to verify important elements.
Cheers,
Andrea
