Introduction
-The Internet
Over the past 20 years, the Internet has gradually evolved into a tool that is used in many different environments. Many schools are beginning to use the Internet as an instructional resource, and many libraries and other community centers are giving public access to the Internet. In addition, the continuing drop in the price of personal computers has created a market where many families are able to afford a computer and Internet access in their home. You may use the Internet at work, then come home and use it to correspond with relatives, and then find your children asking you to let them use it.

-The Library
A library is a collection of sources, resources, and services, and the structure in which it is housed; it is organized for use and maintained by a public body, an institution, or a private individual. In the more traditional sense, a library is a collection of books. It can mean the collection, the building or room that houses such a collection, or both. The term "library" has itself acquired a secondary meaning: "a collection of useful material for common use," and in this sense is used in fields such as computer science, mathematics, statistics, electronics and biology.

Body
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standardized Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and other technologies. The Internet carries a vast array of information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail. In addition it supports popular services such as online chat, file transfer and file sharing, gaming, commerce, social networking, publishing, video on demand, and teleconferencing and telecommunications. Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications allow person-to-person communication via voice and video.
The origins of the Internet reach back to the 1960s when the United States funded research projects of its military agencies to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks. This research and a period of civilian funding of a new U.S. backbone by the National Science Foundation spawned worldwide participation in the development of new networking technologies and led to the commercialization of an international network in the mid 1990s, and resulted in the following popularization of countless applications in virtually every aspect of modern human life. As of 2009, an estimated quarter of Earth's population uses the services of the Internet.

The Library is public and institutional collections and services may be intended for use by people who choose not to — or cannot afford to — purchase an extensive collection themselves, who need material no individual can reasonably be expected to have, or who require professional assistance with their research. In addition to providing materials, libraries also provide the services of librarians who are experts at finding and organizing information and at interpreting information needs.
However, with the sets and collection of media and of media other than books for storing information, many libraries are now also repositories and access points for maps, prints, or other documents and various storage media such as microform (microfilm/microfiche), audio tapes, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, and DVDs. Libraries may also provide public facilities to access subscription databases and the Internet.
Thus, modern libraries are increasingly being redefined as places to get unrestricted access to information in many formats and from many sources. They are understood as extending beyond the physical walls of a building, by including material accessible by electronic means, and by providing the assistance of librarians in navigating and analyzing tremendous amounts of knowledge with a variety of digital tools.

Conclusion
Increasingly, employers are relying on technology to handle many aspects of jobs, and use of the Internet is a fast-growing area. It will not matter that the specific technology in use today will be obsolete in a decade (or even a year). The skills your children acquire now and in the future will help them learn whatever new technology emerges. For example, knowing how to type is already a big advantage when learning how to use a word processor. Similarly, knowing how to use one electronic mail program will make learning to use a second or third one much easier, should it become necessary.
If you have questions about how the Internet is (or is not) being used by the schools, you might consider joining the technology committee, if one exists. See what policies are in place concerning use of the Internet, and see what you may be able to contribute to the committee. If the school has no technology committee or Acceptable Use Policy in place but is using the Internet or planning to use it soon, recommend that a committee be formed and a policy put in place before the Internet connection is in place. If you can help the schools have sound Internet policies, you will be able to have more consistency with the guidelines you set out for use of the Internet.

2. Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get.
-HistoryMain article: History of computer scienceThe early foundations of what would become computer science predate the invention of the modern digital computer. Machines for calculating fixed numerical tasks, such as the abacus, have existed since antiquity. Wilhelm Schickard built the first mechanical calculator in 1623.[6] Charles Babbage designed a difference engine in Victorian times[7] helped by Ada Lovelace.[8] Around 1900, punch-card machines[9] were introduced. However, all of these machines were constrained to perform a single task, or at best some subset of all possible tasks.


3. What id the difference between general book and reference book?
The distinction between a book and a reference book can be confusing. Some books that you might "reference" are still considered "books" for the purposes of citation. For example, the MLA Handbook, APA Publication Manual, and other writing style books would be treated as "books" in your bibliography.Reference books are used to find factual information on a subject, and are not usually read all the way through or chapter by chapter. In a K-12 library, reference books are usually located in a special reference collection area, and cannot be checked out. Reference books include dictionaries, encyclopedias, thesauri, almanacs, atlases, and directories.As a side note, in APA, the reader must also distinguish between reference books and what are called "annual periodicals." For example, consider a yearbook (which looks like a reference work). Annual periodicals often resemble edited books. To tell the difference, look at the publication's subtitle. If the subtitle changes annually, it should be treated as an edited book or reference work. If there is no subtitle, or the subtitle does not change year to year, it should be treated as an annual periodical.>>>> http://www.noodletools.com/helpdesk/index.php?action=kb&article=32 <<<<

Exercise2

1. What is information literacy skills ?
Information literacy skills are skills you will need through your life. We are always seeking information. What car or stereo should I buy? Which college should I choose? Which book should I read next? How can I sell this idea to my boss? How can I convince the school board to act on my proposal? Information helps us reach conclusions, make our choices, and communicate more effectively. But the good stuff is often buried in heaps of junk. We need to continue to improve our searching, evaluating and communication skills in a changing information environment.
