This assignment consists of three major parts. Part 1 shows how to use the CD-ROM facilities to locate some material on the item of “Information Retrieval Methods”, details of the materials (such as the Record Number, date of the article, the author and a summary), search strategy and comments are also included. Part 2 demonstrates how to use the Monash Voyager Catalogue system to locate the text or article. Finally, Part 3 shows how to search for materials on the World Wide Web, such as VicRoads, MovieShow and CareerOne. In order for one to search for materials using the CD-ROM facilities, one must log into the Monash library site, which is available in Monash homepage. Dow Jones Interactive, one of the electronic databases is chosen to search for articles and journals is chosen. It provides materials, which is relevant to the subjects that are needed.
After accessing into Dow Jones, the keyword search is done. The following is a summary of three articles on the chosen topics. Source : ABIX – Australasian Business Intelligence: The Australian Summary : Flexible learning is a new, vital area of learning. This is the view of the University of Southern Queensland (USQ).
In March 2000 it is planning to set up a new deputy vice-chancellor position called global learning services. This position will seek to enhance the flexible delivery of services.
The idea has flowed from USQ vice- chancellor Peter Swannell. The incumbent will be responsible for distance education, library and IT services. Swannell noted that the focus will be on providing global access in several modes both on and off campus. The job will incorporate the services of USQOnline, the programs offered via the Internet. Article 2: Privitisation of Utility Services Title : Of what use privatisation of transmission system Source : Asia Intelligence Wire from FT Information Summary : The transmission projects would meet the same fate as the power generation projects.

The Term Paper on Web Services part 1
Web Services. Web Services are not implemented in a monolithic way, but rather represent a collection of several related technologies. A new language was developed in the Internet back in 1999. What were the reasons for that? The old one was called HTML, and it was a gear for the whole internet, especially for the area called World Wide Web, development process. Now the Web outgrew its creator and ...
That means that the SEBs would have to pay the transmission company wheeling charges. Given the poor financial health of the SEBs, wheeling to the these utilities would spawn off a new set of problems. FIs would, for instance, insist on escrow cover to lend to the companies setting up transmission projects. The escrow mechanism is nothing but earmarking a proportion of the receivables of the State electricity board (SEB) to a creditor. But, the FIs and SEBs are already at loggerheads over the escrowable capacity that the latter can offer to private power suppliers. While SEBs prefer to offer nearly 95 per cent of their receivables as escrow charge to the private power suppliers, the FIs are insisting on a 75 per cent limit.
