Week 15 (Reflection) 22 May 2013

          Today is our last lesson where we get to learn about form, query, report and relationship.
The form will help us save a lot of time when entering data into the table. Below are the step in producing Form:

     (a) Select the table you want to use as a form.
     (b) Choose Create - Forms - Form
     (c) Sort Field in the desired order by dragging to a specific part.
     (d) Column size can be changed at will.
     (e) Assign a name to the Form and Save.

          Query displays the results of collection of raw data before we generate the report. Below are the step in producing Query:

     (a) Choose Create - Query Wizard
     (b) Then select Simple Query Wizard - ok
     (c) Select fields that are involved in queries such as Title, Author, Publisher, Year Published,
           etc. to be displayed in the Query. Field also choose from different Table.
     (d) Click Next. Name Query created. Click Finish.
     (e) Query finished created for reference.

          The report is to display the database reports that had been produced. Below are the step in creating Report:

     (a) Select Table to be used in the Report. Choose Create - Report.
     (b) Report can be formatted according to the requirements.

Week 14 (Reflection) 15 May 2013

Today we get to learn about the data management. Data management enable us to have a systemeatic, no duplication and easy to be access. A database management system is a program could enable computer users create and access data in the database.

DBMS DBMS = database management system (database software) is a software system designed to allow the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases.

a) advantages of DBMS
1) Warehouse of Information
2) Defining Attributes
3) Systematic Storage
4) Changes to Schema
5) No language dependence
6) Table Joins
7) Multiple Simultaneous Usage
8) Data Security
9) Privileges
10) Abstract View of Data and Easy Retrieval
11) Data Consistency

Designing Databases
The three principal logical databases models are Hierarchical, network and relational.

Week 13 (Reflection) 7 May 2013

Today, Mr. Razak guide us doing the database using the Microsoft Office Access. Uisng the cataloging information we had collected through out the semester, we key-in all the information into the table. Next, Mr. Razak teached us how to do using the Microsoft Office Access for the relationship between two tables.

Week 12 (Reflection) 1 May 2013

Today is a labour day and also Malaysia public holiday. Although this week we no need to attend to the lecture, but we still go on with our cataloging in UTM. We need to do so due to the we need the cataloging information to do the database.

Week 11 (Reflection) 24 April 2013

        Through the online learning, Mr. Razak had teached us how to do database and we do it hands on after the lecture given by Mr. Razak.

        A collecton of data that had been store in the computer is called as database. Database is a very useful tools where we can access and analyze easily when we need to do so. We had been told to do some hands on activity by using the SMM such as student's name, student's identification number, student's parent name and excetera.

        We also get to learn about that microsoft office access is a database application where we can run a reports with large amount of data. Mr. Razak teached us how to enter data into forms and tables, running quesries for data in order to produce report.

        Before we end our lecture, Mr. Razak remind us to do database using the cataloging we had done throughout the semester.

Week 10 (Reflection) 17 April 2013

In this week, we continue our learning on the cataloging topic. Summary regarding the LCC and DDC were being given by Mr. Abd Razak. We were being asked to pass up the critical writing with the topic as stated below:

Kenapa DDC digunakan di perpustakaan sekolah rendah manakala

LCC digunakan di perpustakaan university ?

Buku-buku di perpustakaan dikelas dan dikatalogkan dengan tujuan untuk memudahkan pengguna perpustakaan mencari dan menggunakan buku-buku secara mudah. Jika dalam keadaan di mana jumlah buku adalah sikit, pengguna-pengguna buku boleh mencarinya terus di perpustakaan. Tetapi, jika bilangan buku semakin bertambah banyak, jika pengkelasan dan pengkatalogan buku tidak diadakan, ia akan menyusahkan pengguna untuk mencari buku yang berkenaan. Perkhidmatan yang cekap dapat disediakan kepada pengguna dengan adanya sistem pengelasan dan pengkatalogan ini.

Koleksi-koleksi di Perpustakaan Dato’ Jaafar Hassan menggunakan dua sistem pengkelasan nombor buku iaitu: Library of Congress Classification (LCC) yang menggunakan abjad A hingga Z; Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) yang bermula dengan angka 000 hingga 999.

Dari segi saiz, LCC adalah lebih besar dari segi kelas, di mana kelasnya adalah lebih luas dengan subkategori yang lebih kecil. Walaupun subkelas LCC adalah lebih kecil tetapi ia adalah lebih khusus. Dalam sistem pengkelasan DDC, 10 kelas subjek telah dipecahkan kepada 10 bahagian yang kemudiannya dipecahkan kepada 10 subdivisi.

Manakala dari segi struktur, LCC mempunyai kelas yang terus berkembang dan dikemaskini secara bebas oleh pakar-pakar dalam bidang yang berkaitan. Manakala DDC mempunyai prinsip-prinsip yang menyeluruh dengan pembahagian perpuluhan dan catatan mnemonik dari segi struktur.

Dari indeks relatif, DDC dapat membawa semua topik bersama-sama, manakala LCC tidak boleh membawa semua topik bersama-sama. DDC boleh dibahagikan secara konsisten dengan menggunakan kategori dan sub-klasifikasi manakala LCC tidak dibahagikan secara konsisten. Kelebihan ini telah menyebabkan DDC digunakan secara meluas di perpustakaan awam dan perpustakaan sekolah, manakala LCC digunakan di kolej dan universiti.

Sistem pengkelasan Dewey tidak dapat membahagikan bahan-bahan bagi subjek-subjek baru. Kekangan lain ialah nombor panggilan yang panjang dan sistem perpuluhan Dewey yang menyebabkan kerumitan atau kesusahan dalam mengenalpasti sumber di perpustakaan. Bagi sistem pengkelasan LCC pula, penciptaannya adalah berdasarkan perpustakaan tunggal dan sistem surat-nombor pengenalan adalah susah.

Akhirnya, DDC adalah lebih sesuai untuk digunakan di sekolah rendah, manakala LCC adalah lebih sesuai digunakan di perpustakaan akademik universiti.

     After that, he also asked us to do cataloging for the preparation of database. Below is the homework that had been done by me during the hands-on activity doing the cataloging in the thesis resource centre.

Week 7 (Reflection) 27 March 2013

          Library classification is the basic principle of library classification of the group items on the shelves according to broad fields of knowledge and specific subjects within each field, so users can find the items more easier.

          The aims of Library Classification are as follow:
          (a) To arrange the field of knowledge.
          (b) Bring items that are related to be together.
          (c) To provide an orderly access on the shelves.
          (d) To provide an exact location for item on the shelves.

          Type of classification learn by today is hierarchical classification e.g DDC, LCC. DDC is stand for Dewey Decimal Classification and LCC is stand for Library of Congress Classification. Through the hierarchical classification , the subject is being divide into the most general to the most specific. This help to organise whole world knowledge into a hierarchy of subject, such an example, the DDC divided knowledge into ten main classes and each classes is subdivided into narrower subjects.
          The ten main classes are:
           1. 000 Computers, information & general reference.
           2. 100 Philosophy & psychology.
           3. 200 Religion
           4. 300 Social sciences
           5. 400 Language
           6. 500 Science
           7. 600 Technology
           8. 700 Arts & recreation
           9. 800 Literature
           10. 900 History & geography

          In the DDC, arabic numerals are used to represent each class. The second digit is use to indicate the division. 510 is for mathematics, 520 for astronomy and 530 is for physics. The third digit number indicate the section. 530 is for the general works on physics, 531 for classical mechanics, 532 for fluid mechanics and 533 for gas mechanics.

Week 6 (Reflection) 20 March 2013

          In this week, we get to learn about subject cataloging. What is mean by subject cataloging? Subject cataloging is the process of determining subject headings for an item. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataloging

          The subject cataloging aims to provide access by subject to all relevant materials and to provide entry at any level of analysis. We get to learn about the vocabulary control term. This term is means by any list of subject headings for the control of terms used in catalog, bibliography or index. In controlled vocabulary there is one term for any one concept. In the controlled vocabulary, the synonymous terms is being identifies and one prefered terms is being selected. Such an example: Capsicum and peppers, we will use the peppers term. As for homonyms, it explicitly identifies the multiple concepts expressed by that word, such as example are : Springs (mechanical devices) and another Springs (water sources).

         We got to learn about the subject analysis where the first step is to examine the work in hand, then decide on several keywords that could represent the subject and finally using the keywords as a starting point, then go to each term in the list to identify appropriate headings. Subject cataloging determining the subject such as title, subtitle, author, forward, preface, introduction, publisher, series, content and index, text and CIP. After the lecturing, we go to the resourse centre to do some hands-on assignement.

Below is the work done by me in the resource centre.
