Types of Search Sources

Primary Sources

Definition:
Primary sources are original materials. They are from the time period involved and have not been filtered through interpretation or evaluation. Primary sources are original materials on which other research is based. They are usually the first formal appearance of results in physical, print or electronic format. They present original thinking, report a discovery, or share new information.
Note: The definition of a primary source may vary depending upon the discipline or context.

Examples include:

•Artifacts (e.g. coins, plant specimens, fossils, furniture, tools, clothing, all from the time under study);
•Audio recordings (e.g. radio programs)
•Diaries;
•Internet communications on email, listservs;
•Interviews (e.g., oral histories, telephone, e-mail);
•Journal articles published in peer-reviewed publications;
•Letters;
•Newspaper articles written at the time;
•Original Documents (i.e. birth certificate, will, marriage license, trial transcript);
•Patents;
•Photographs
•Proceedings of Meetings, conferences and symposia;
•Records of organizations, government agencies (e.g. annual report, treaty, constitution, government document);
•Speeches;
•Survey Research (e.g., market surveys, public opinion polls);
•Video recordings (e.g. television programs);
•Works of art, architecture, literature, and music (e.g., paintings, sculptures, musical scores, buildings, novels, poems).
•Web site.

Secondary Sources

Definition:
Secondary sources are less easily defined than primary sources. Generally, they are accounts written after the fact with the benefit of hindsight. They are interpretations and evaluations of primary sources. Secondary sources are not evidence, but rather commentary on and discussion of evidence. However, what some define as a secondary source, others define as a tertiary source. Context is everything.
Note: The definition of a secondary source may vary depending upon the discipline or context.

Examples include:

•Bibliographies (also considered tertiary);
•Biographical works;
•Commentaries, criticisms;
•Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (also considered tertiary);
•Histories;
•Journal articles (depending on the disciple can be primary);
•Magazine and newspaper articles (this distinction varies by discipline);
•Monographs, other than fiction and autobiography;
•Textbooks (also considered tertiary);
•Web site (also considered primary).

Tertiary Sources

Definition:
Tertiary sources consist of information which is a distillation and collection of primary and secondary sources.

•Almanacs;
•Bibliographies (also considered secondary);
•Chronologies;
•Dictionaries and Encyclopedias (also considered secondary);
•Directories;
•Fact books;
•Guidebooks;
•Indexes, abstracts, bibliographies used to locate primary and secondary sources;
•Manuals;
•Textbooks (also be secondary).

Residential Hall In UUM

1. BACKGROUND

Students are the direct recipients of the service provided by the university, Students’
Satisfaction has become an extremely important issue for universities and the management itself direct or indirectly. Hence, student satisfaction is an important issue in terms of quality of service provided in the marketing to be addressed by the university.
University should focus the services to students because as a direct customer they receive the service directly from the university program. The objective of any university is to maximize student satisfaction, minimize dissatisfaction and therefore this in turn to improve the institutions performance.
The improvement of the services provided by university can be achieved by getting
feedbacks, comments, complaints or objections from the students as a customer. From the positive or negative feedback, the universities have a better view of the strengths and weaknesses of its services so that improvement can be made wherever necessary. This can be carried out continuously to gain better relationship to the students as a whole.

Cyber bullying

1.0 PURPOSE


Holding an event for Anti-bullying, University Utara Malaysia take the step to have the honor of organizing this issue, jointly host a one-day seminar on cyber bullying.


2.0 BACKGROUND


Cyber bullying is a form of bullying that is on the increase, as new technologies (mobile phones, camera phones, internet facilities) both become more sophisticated and spread to a wider proportion of the population, including many children and young people. Whether bullying in general is more prevalent is debatable, but it is almost certainly the case (despite a lack of proper longitudinal statistics) that cyber bullying is increasing. For example, ‘happy-slapping’ or bullying by disseminating pictures via mobile phone, could not exist until mobile phones had this facility.

Several surveys of cyber bullying, by NCH and others (including a recent small-scale but in-depth survey for the Anti-bullying Alliance) show that currently cyber bullying affects a small percentage of pupils (c.2-5%) regularly, and up to 25% on an occasional basis. Some of this cyber bullying is in school, but quite a lot is outside school. As with other forms of bullying, adults are often not told. Some forms of cyber bullying, such as those using mobile phones, are thought (by pupils) to be more distressing than the more usual forms (physical, verbal, social exclusion, telling rumors), although some (e.g. email and chat room bullying) are thought to be less distressing.


3.0 OBJECTIVE


(a) Identify and share current knowledge on the topic cyber bullying in overseas and in Malaysia.

(b) Introduce the policy and the guidelines which need to be followed by every Internet user to guarantee their safety in cyber world.

كاسترو يشارك في جلسة برلمانية عن الوضع الدولي


يعود الزعيم الكوبي فيدل كاسترو الى الاضواء ليلقي خطاباً امام البرلمان هو الاول له منذ تنحى عن الرئاسة قبل اربعة اعوام.

وكاسترو هو من دعا الى عقد الجلسة البرلمانية الاستثنائية هذه لبحث "الوضع الدولي".

وسينقل التلفزيون الكوبي وقائع الجلسة مباشرة اعتبارا من الساعة 11,00 بالتوقيت المحلي (15,00 ت غ).

وستكون اول مشاركة لفيدل كاسترو الذي سيحتفل في 13 اغسطس/ أغسطس بعيد ميلاده الرابع والثمانين، في جلسة برلمانية منذ مرضه الخطير الذي اضطره في 31 تموز/يوليو 2006 للتنحي عن الحكم لشقيقه راوول. كما ستكون المرة الاولى التي سيتحدث فيها مباشرة عبر التلفزيون منذ ذلك التاريخ.

وفي 26 يوليو/ تموز، اعلن اب الثورة الكوبية انه سيطلب عقد مثل هذه الجلسة ليحذر من احتمال اندلاع نزاع نووي في الشرق الاوسط في وقت وشيك بايعاز من الولايات المتحدة على حد قوله.

وفي الاسابيع الاخيرة ظهر فيدل كاسترو الذي كرس فترة نقاهته لكتابة "خواطره" حول احداث الساعة في الصحف وكذلك مذكراته، علنا مرات عدة لبحث الازمة الايرانية مع مفكرين وفنانين او دبلوماسيين كوبيين.

وفي رسالة نشرت الاربعاء الماضي في الصحافة المحلية وجه نداء الى الرئيس الامريكي باراك اوباما ليحذره فيها من مغبة اي تدخل عسكري ضد ايران.

HISTORY


Its thought that the Poodle originally derived from the German name 'Pudel', meaning water dog. Despite the 'clown like' stigma attached to poodles due to their variety of unusual haircuts, traditionally the Standard Poodle was used for retrieving fowl from water. A working dog renowned for it's intelligence, speed and agility. Its French name 'Caniche' also refers to its water dog origins.

Poodles are very playful, active dogs that love exercise and companionship with other dogs or people and thrive on attention. Highly intelligent and easy to train this athletic breed is eager to please and keen to learn.
It's non molting, dense curly coat traditionally helped keep it warm in the cold waters but became heavy when wet, so to assist its swimming technique the coat was clipped from where it wasn't needed but grown on its chest, joints and vital organs to protect it from the cold. A colored ribbon was placed in the poodles hair to identify it in the water from a distance. Distinctive adaptations of these traditional methods can still be seen today. Poodles are now more commonly seen on the show circuit with stylish haircuts cut to precision or speeding around the agility ring. Their gracious style, speed and enthusiasm makes them successful at both.
