 Becoming Familiar with PARC

Please watch the following four brief video lectures on the PARC concepts:

• Proximity (https://app.screencast.com/a3VE0Urm0txEL)
• Alignment(https://app.screencast.com/e0p0ZaewDwb6T)
• Repetition(https://app.screencast.com/jnVhaCcdDD4Dk)
• Contrast(https://app.screencast.com/ymvCJgIEs9hN4)

For this discussion topic, please complete the following:

Examine the website for the James Bond 007 museum: http://www.007museum.com/

Write a brief paragraph in which you analyze the website's application of proximity, of alignment, of repetition, and of contrast.

 Library Exercises 

The following task is designed to help you become familiar with UMGC's Information and Library Services OneSearch interface. Completing these exercises will help you get started on developing a topic for the report to the supervisor.

Please watch the following video tutorials:

• library tutorial #1
• library tutorial #2 on the use of the asterisk

Assume you work as an intern for the dean’s office in a business school that offers an MBA (Masters in Business Administration) degree.

Your supervisor has asked you to conduct research on the use of AI tools in classes in business schools.  Your business school wants to remain competitive with other business schools, and your supervisor has heard that other business schools are incorporating AI tools, such as ChatGPT, into their curricula.

The instructions you have been given by your supervisor are quite broad. But let us assume that this is the directive you have been given.

For this reason, you will conduct a very general search on the use of AI tools in business schools. You are not quite sure how to focus the topic, but you know that you would like to pursue this general topic and focus it later.

1. Using the strategies discussed in library tutorial #1, search on some terms and find four articles on this topic.  Your search can be quite broad at this stage.  Try to use some search phrases that require that you use quotation marks, as the video demonstrates.

Please write the search terms you used. In addition, please write the titles of the four articles and the journals in which they appeared.  You don't have to cite anything in APA format, or anything of that nature.  Just post the article and the journal titles.

1. Then, applying the tips in library tutorial #1, focus your search from question #1 by using the Subject option..

How many search results do you find after limiting the search by using Subject option?

1. Revert back from the Subject option to the Any Field option (as the video demonstrates).

Then, using the strategies discussed in library tutorial #2 on the use of the asterisk, conduct the same search, but this time use one of your terms and place an asterisk next to a form of the term in order to search on all forms of that term.

What term did you search on with the asterisk?

How many search results do you get?

1. Choose one article you found in this entire exercise. List it in APA format as if it were a reference for a paper you are writing.
