Listen to anonline lecture(task14)
I listen a live lecture on (http://www.lecturefox.com)In this web site i found a lot of topics lecture which is very help ful to gain a knowledge also improve our listening power.
I heared alecture abot (books and libraries in the digital age)lecture did robert darton. he is an american he talks about it. firstly he talked about his reasearch ,his histry father istry etc.About the Lecture
Perhaps because he is a historian rather than librarian by training, Robert Darnton regards the vast ocean of digital information that civilization has begun accumulating with relish rather than anxiety. Darnton delves into European archives to find raw material, boxes of cast-off “ephemera,” for his stories of how people lived hundreds of years ago. No wonder he believes “it’s important to preserve as much as you can because you don’t know what will turn out to be significant.”
In conversation with David Thorburn and audience members, Darnton lays out why he finds more promise than peril in rapidly expanding digital collections. He first owns up to the tactile pleasures of archival history: the sensation of opening a box full of manuscripts, dirty hands, the smell of old paper, and literally coming “into contact with vanished humanity.” He cherishes the drama of such research, as well as the finished, weighty products of this kind of work: the book. While the “tactile quality of books” is very important -- and Darnton describes holding up leaves of 18th century books to see bits of ground-down petticoat thread -- there are also positive dimensions to digital versions. For instance, when the British Library digitized Beowulf, it discovered several new words. But “one medium of communication doesn’t displace another,” he reassures. “They coexist.” Darnton himself is hard at work on a large-scale electronic book about books in the 18th century, comprised of layers a user can navigate, from essays on various subjects, to selections of documents in English, to the original documents in French. There might even be songs performed as they were sung in the streets of Paris 250 years ago. “We are in an era of creating new kinds of books, new kinds of reading and authorship.”
In this website there is a lot of topic like civilisation and reconstruction of era,computer techonology,financial market etc. I think it is a very useful website.

Locate and use a wide range of information sources
Critically evaluate the information you find
Synthesize information to form student own original piece of work
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
The quality of information on the Internet is extremely variable.
At best the Internet is a great research tool, at worst it can seriously degrade student nwork by feeding you misinformation.
Use this section of the tutorial to learn about:
The good: academic publishing on the Internet
The bad: time wasting on Internet searches
The uglyThe
news is that many sources of authoritative research information now publish on the Internet.Internet hoaxes, scams and legends.
The Academic publishing process
Academics usually publish their research in formal publications such as journal papers and articles or reports. These follow formal procedures designed to quality-assure the work.
Peer review / refereeing
Peer review is what characterises academic research. If a publication is peer reviewed it means it has been read, checked and authenticated (reviewed) by independent, third party academics (peers). Peer review has been the quality-control system of academic publishing for hundreds of years.
Scholarly journals
Peer reviewed articles are often collated into scholarly journals, which are usually published by academic publishing houses, professional societies or university press. Journals will be a key source of information you at university - you will be expected to reference articles from them in your work.
Electronic journals
A university library may have shelves full of journals, but nowadays many are also available in electronic form over the Internet. Ask your lecturers or librarians how to find and use the key journals for your subject - the sooner you do this the quicker you will succeed in your research.
Library eJournal services
Access to eJournals is not usually free – a subscription has to be paid. However, a university library will have paid some subscriptions for its users – who can then get free access to these journals via their library web services, using a special password (check with your library for details).
eJournal publishers
If you can't get access to eJournals from your library you may be able to via the publisher's web services. Some offer “pay-per-view” which means you pay a small fee for each article you view.
ePrints

Bibliographic databases
Most academics rely on specialist databases to access details of past research. The databases draw together details of scholarly publications from a wide range of sources including academic publishers, journals, archives and sometimes books, and so enable you to search a large body of the scholarly literature in one go.
Academic web directories
Of course a lot of information on the web can be useful for research even if it hasn't come from the traditional sources. Academic web directories, such as Intute, guide you to the best online resources for research – and each resource has been selected and reviewed by a subject specialist.
Library web sites
The library web site for your university or college will be an important source of information for you, as it will quickly guide you to the key electronic journals, bibliographic databases and archives that archives that you should be using for your research.
The bad
The bad news is that the Internet also leads to a lot of information that is completely inappropriate for your research, and it takes time and skill to weed this out.should be using for your research.( information by(www.vst.intute.ac.uk/detective/indx.html).so it can be coclude that when wesearch some by internet it should be improved student research skill.
