Dr. Elsie Okobi

1- Business are classified under SIC Codes. What does SIC mean? I need a web resource that will provide access to SIC. Analysis of the question, what type of question, what resources needed? This is one of the ready reference questions which could get complicated if we didn’t get the result as quickly and easily as we can. It has two parts; the first one could be easy if there is a web dictionary that will define this acronym and then we could get the meaning from that dictionary or from general or Business encyclopedia to identify what the abbreviate (SIC) stands for, and to know the meaning of it in Business. The second part is to get a web resource that provide us with an access to whatever SIC is. Justification of the resource –

The best way to search for a web dictionary that provide us with definition to a subject terms (Business) is to search for it through one of the web directories that provide us with web reference resources like (Search Engine Colossus or libraryspot.com, …)



I first searched for resources in Business through “Search Engine Colossus" which is a web directory that organized by subjects, I received a meta search engine (i-une.com) that meta search engine provides resources in Business.



From (i-une.com) I searched for” resources in SIC “one of the results was dictionary.com , it’s general web dictionary, but I searched there for” SIC code” it referred me to results from Ask.com; because there was not a match on Dictionary.com for SIC.



The first result I received about it was the main page of NAICS which is one of the US census Bureau organization, from there I got all the answers I need, first the definition or the meaning of SIC, and with a click on the hyperlinked term(SIC) it referred me to an access to all SIC system divisions, from osha.gov.



The second web resources directory I used to get the answer was the reference desk of libraryspot.com at http://www.libraryspot.com/acronyms.htm I searched for (SIC)Abbreviations and Acronyms of the U.S. Government I received results from Researching an Industry. The results led me to the same (SIC) manual at: http://www.osha.gov/oshstats/sicser.htmlibdustry . If we know from the beginning that SIC is part from US. Census Bureau, It would be easy to look for it from their website on the net directly. Also I could get that answer to what’s the meaning of” SIC code+ Business) directly from Ask.com web site.

Answer The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and adopted in 1997 to replace the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. 1- By clicking on the hyperlinked term above, it led me to another website with all the access to links to SIC division. Some of them as followed: SIC Division Structure [ SIC Search]

A. Division A: Agriculture, Forestry, And Fishing Major Group 01: Agricultural Production Crops Major Group 02: Agriculture production livestock and animal specialties Major Group 07: Agricultural Services Major Group 08: Forestry Major Group 09: Fishing, hunting, and trapping B. Division B: Mining Major Group 10: Metal Mining Major Group 12: Coal Mining Major Group 13: Oil And Gas Extraction Major Group 14: Mining And Quarrying Of Nonmetallic Minerals, Except Fuels Division C: Construction The answer to the question through libraryspot.com Industry codes are used to describe a company's line of business. The current standard is the 6digit North American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code, but many company and industry directories continue to use the older, 4-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Searchable online North American Industry Classification Systems, 2007 (NAICS) codes:

http://www.census.gov/epcd/www/naics.htm/ Industry Research Questions (and Answers!)



What are industry codes? ○ SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) and NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) are the two main industry classification codes. The SIC

came into use in the 1930s, but has had no updates since 1987. The NAICS was born in 1997. Despite being newer and more up-to-date, NAICS is by no means the default industry code system, as many resources still reference SIC. Conversion between the two is available at the U.S. Census Bureau’s NAICS-SIC Correspondence Tables. •

How can I find the code for a given industry? ○ Business and Company Resource Center provides easy browsing of both SIC and NAICS codes. From the main page, click on the Industry icon, then under Enter Industry Description, select the appropriate code you wish to browse. Business and Company Resource Center also allows you to find the SIC and NAICS codes for companies. On the main page, do a Company Search by company name or ticker symbol, and on the Company Profile results page will be listed both SIC and NAICS codes for your company, about halfway down the page The URLs of the answer. 1- http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/ 2- http://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sic_manual.html 3- http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/subjectareas/business/industry

1- I need a gazetteer for information on the Demographic and other types of information about states in the US. Analysis of the question, what type of question, what resource? This is type of ready reference questions that could be searched from IPL, directory which could lead us to a gazetteer for US which should provide us with all the demographic and other information about any state in USA. It could be answer quickly from infoplease.com, but if the question specify a gazetteer, that should be one of the resources available in IPL. Justification of the resource –

From IPL I searched for Gazetteer for US , I received a list of a web gazetteer Worldwide Gazetteer at http://www.gazeteer.com/gazeteer/v2/index.aspx The World Gazetteer at http://www.gazetteer.de/ The Columbia Gazetteer of North America at http://www.bartleby.com/69/ U.S. Gazetteer at http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/gazetteer/

I tried the gazetteer specialized in USA, The US Gazetteer is the only one could provide specific answer about demographic information in certain State in U.S this internet Gazetteer published as one of Census US Bureau online, it could be searched by the place inside US, but I couldn’t get any answer either dead link, or some Authorization problem with that site.



I tried the search key at the bottom of that page it referred me to a searchable box in Census US Bureau, from there I searched for (Demographic Connecticut) http://search.census.gov/search?q=connecticut+demographic, I received a different results, the first one about Connecticut linked to http://factfinder.census.gov/, which provides statistical demographic information about any state in US.



If we need short information about the whole country we could use the World Gazetteer which provides general information of each country without maps, but if we need more detailed information about USA for example there is a link to CIA World Factbook through The world wide gazetteer at www.gazeteer.com . The World Factbook is powered by CIA available at https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-worldfactbook/geos/us.html , it provides information about each country and map. The answer to the question The answer from http://factfinder.census.gov/ Connecticut S2502.

I chose the letter N for Nigeria, and got a list of the news papers there, from the list I could recognize the daily newspaper published in Nigeria. There are also information about each newspaper like the language, the website, Geographic coverage and its features.



I also searched . Newspapers in another web resources directory (refdesk.com) and from NEWSPAPERS - USA AND WORLDWIDE I found the answer, but I couldn’t identify the frequency of these newspapers in Nigeria.

The answer to the question : 3 of the Newspapers of Lagos- Nigeria : The Guardian (English) http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/ Geographic coverage: Nigeria--Lagos--Lagos Frequency: Daily Features: Arts, Sports, Business, News - National, Science/Technology, News - Local, Politics, Features/Lifestyles This Day (English) http://www.thisdayonline.com/ Geographic coverage: Nigeria--Lagos--Lagos Frequency: Daily Features: Business, News - National, Editorial, News - Local Vanguard (English) http://www.vanguardngr.com/ Geographic coverage: Nigeria--Lagos--Lagos Frequency: Daily Features: Sports, Business, News - National, Editorial, News - Local, Politics The URLs of the answer. 1- http://www.ipl.org/div/news/browse/NG/ 2- http://www.refdesk.com/paper.html 1- Provide me with the front page news in New York Times on the day you were born Analysis of the question, what type of question, what resource –

We could search for newspapers in the web directories like IPL, or. Library spot.com, from there we could search for The New York Times, to see if they offer any services like that. We could

also go to Front Pages which allows copying the front page of the available newspapers. But this site doesn’t have NYT front pages. –

If we need to find only the front page news of NYT on 09/26/1967 then, I will start from libraryspot.com to search in their newspapers for the NYT. Justification of the resource



Through the searching box in the website of the NYT I searched for these terms (09/26/1967, AND front page news) I limited the answer from the pull down menu to the archive from 1850-1980. I received a list of the news articles that published on that date. There is no available the front page images for free.



If there is no free access to full text to these articles from the front page of this specific issue of the NYT, then we have to work in finding an access to a web database that allow this services only through the subscription of a database that allows searching through the archives of NYT newspaper for specific date to get article or any headlines in past issues.



Through the internet I learnt about ProQuest Historical Newspapers, it is -the definitive digital archive-offers full-text and full-image articles for significant newspapers dating back to the 18th Century. As part of the ProQuest Historical Newspapers™ program, every issue of each title includes the complete paper-cover-to-cover, with full-page and article images in easily downloadable PDF format. If your library already subscribes to the historical New York Times, the addition of the Index will provide all the benefits available through this database.



I tried to search through the dot- com website of ProQuest, but I couldn’t also get any result, the searching box there allow searching through the contents of this site only not the database itself, and there is ability to search the database from this site only for subscriber.



I searched through Buley library databases to see if they have an access to ProQuest Newspaper database, I found it through the index of database.



From Buley library Databases, I chose ProQuest Newspaper database, where I could search for a full text on that specific date September 26 1967( my date of birth) through the simple searching boxes I entered ( page 1), and from the drop down menu I chose searching in News- The Historical New York Times database. It allows searching by

specific date, I entered my date of birth. I received 10 documents found for: (page 1) AND PDN(9/26/1967) These are the articles that were published at that date” Tuesday September 26,1967” on the front page, Each one of these articles could be displayed in many ways, I tried them all till I got a picture of the front page, the choices are Article image PDF, or abstract, or page map, I clicked on PDF image first , I received a PDF image of that article, then I clicked on the page map , I received the picture of the whole front page of that date, I copied it , and paste. I included the results of the titles of the news article published on the front page, also I included a screen shot of the front page as well. The answer to the question: This is a screen shot from what I received from the NYT Archive “the News of the front page of NYT on September 26th , 1967” • •

1- Who was the first female governor of any state in the U.S. that was elected to the post? Analysis of the question, what type of question, what resource –

This is a ready reference question that needs a first fact web resource like U.S. almanac, or website that provides us with events or specific firsts of women in America. I knew from my practices in this course that infoplease.com has an almanac that provides famous firsts in U.S., and the world, so that’s will be a good start to find the answer. Justification of the resource



From libraryspot.com I searched for almanacs I found infoplease almanac the first choice. I searched for these terms (First women governor) in its searching box, I received different results, I tried the first one which was from Famous Firsts by American Women, 1901–Present, the results are arranged by years, and if I don’t know the year of that event, I had to brows all the included years to find the answer in 1925.



I tried to use another site from the provided results which was the First in America, I wanted to see if there is any special information, but again I had to brows all the firsts till I found the first women elected as Governor. So there is no specific highlight or index to the answer in both sites, I can’t find the answer easily without checking the list from the beginning till I find it. And that’s not convenient. Its easier through Google results. The answer to the question



The answer from first in America. Woman elected governor of a state: Nellie Tayloe Ross, Wyoming, 1925.



The answer from women first. Nellie Tayloe Ross becomes the first woman to serve as governor of a state, in Wyoming. In the fall of 1924 she was elected to succeed her deceased husband, William Bradford Ross. The URL of the answer.
