Introduction

A nine year old Thai student from high school had been accident wounded and killed straight away. The news had been on air thought out nation television to public and every newspaper has been printed. Most of the parent of Thai society had been shocked with new headline that a young boy who is innocent and no idea what is happening had been wounded by a college student just fighting over for no reason. The principals from the boy high school were called in to Parliament twice for sessions on how to stop the violence. Gang violence has plagued schools for years, mostly at the country’s 835 vocational schools which cater later largely to the children of the working class such as taxi driver, security guard and factory workers. Police say there were 900 reported incidents in Bangkok in the first half of this year.





Discussion

This problem has been brought up for the government to discussion and tries to find a solution for college and public around the area. So many people are scare and worry; what would happen to anyone or any children, would this incident happen again?

A problem of this college has been going on for many generations which are no method to end. Many people are terrifying the student will hurt them one day. Many nations saw the incident but they can not do anything or help the person that is being harm. If anyone came to help the individual that person will get hurt, so most people just observe and feel depressing.

Many bus drivers wouldn’t go to pick up any of those college students because they’re terrified if one day they will get gunshot. There is no way to protect yourself because doesn’t know went this incident will occur. The student doesn’t intend to hurt anyone around them but sometime accident happens.




Conclusions

The problem doesn’t seem so big but it is a biggest problem right now for Thai society. One person can not do anything much and people could do anything at all. Is better for government and principles of the college to find a solution for everyone including public and make sure no one will get hurt by their students. The government should look into more way to find the problem and the student for these colleges.

Can you identify the library website, OPAC, library database?

Library website is the web that you can search information about the book you looking for, in university or the library.


An OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) is an online bibliography of a library collection that is available to the public. OPACs developed as stand-alone online catalogs, often from VT100 terminals to a mainframe library catalog. With the arrival of the Internet, most libraries have made their OPAC accessible from a server to users all over the world.

SORCE
  
A library database is both an electronic catalog and the access point to information from published works.


Library databases provide access to resources across a wide spectrum of topic and subject areas.
Such as: the arts, genealogy, academic research, home improvement, auto repair, business and much more.

What is your search technique when you're doing your homework or assignment?

I usually search the internet from Google and the book from the library.

Excercise4, Question 5

What type of reference collection that you like to use most and why?

Dictionary and Encyclopaedia because dictionary containing information about words, meaning, derivations, spelling, pronunciation, syllabication and Encyclopaedia is a systematic summary of all significant knowledge, a summary of knowledge of on subject.

Excercise4, Question 4

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

When a collection of sources in print and electronice from intended to be referred to rather than read. THe materials are usually not for loan outside the library.

Excercise4, Question 3

What is the difference between general book and reference book?

The distinction between a book and a reference book can be confusing. Some books that you might "reference" are still considered "books" for the purposes of citation.
Reference books are used to find factual information on a subject, and are not usually read all the way through or chapter by chapter. In a K-12 library, reference books are usually located in a special reference collection area, and cannot be checked out. Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, almanacs, atlases, and directories.
As a side note, in APA, the reader must also distinguish between reference books and what are called "annual periodicals." For example, consider a yearbook (which looks like a reference work). Annual periodicals often resemble edited books. To tell the difference, look at the publication's subtitle. If the subtitle changes annually, it should be treated as an edited book or reference work. If there is no subtitle, or the subtitle does not change year to year, it should be treated as an annual periodical.

Excercise4, Question 2

History of Computer

"Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task.

In 1617 an eccentric (some say mad) Scotsman named John Napier invented logarithms, which are a technology that allows multiplication to be performed via addition. The magic ingredient is the logarithm of each operand, which was originally obtained from a printed table. But Napier also invented an alternative to tables, where the logarithm values were carved on ivory sticks which are now called Napier's Bones.

Why the library is important for the learning process?

Why the library is important for the learning process?

The library is important for the learning process because library had access to literary and artistic materials, such as book, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, prints, records, etc. Some libraries had the right to access monographs and a lot of stuff that is non- print materials had been kept in the library for public to access and see.
