Relation between the Internet and the library
Sub-topic:
What is the internet?, What is the library?,What are the relation between the internet and the library?
INTRODUCTION
As we approach a new millennium, the Internet is revolutionizing our society, our economy and our technological systems. No one knows for certain how far, or in what direction, the Internet will evolve. But no one should underestimate its importance.
Over the past century and a half, important technological developments have created a global environment that is drawing the people of the world closer and closer together. During the industrial revolution, we learned to put motors to work to magnify human and animal muscle power. In the new Information Age, we are learning to magnify brainpower by putting the power of computation wherever we need it, and to provide information services on a global basis. Computer resources are infinitely flexible tools; networked together, they allow us to generate, exchange, share and manipulate information in an uncountable number of ways. The Internet, as an integrating force, has melded the technology of communications and computing to provide instant connectivity and global information services to all its users at very low cost.
Ten years ago, most of the world knew little or nothing about the Internet. It was the private enclave of computer scientists and researchers who used it to interact with colleagues in their respective disciplines. Today, the Internet’s magnitude is thousands of times what it was only a decade ago. It is estimated that about 60 million host computers on the Internet today serve about 200 million users in over 200 countries and territories. Today’s telephone system is still much larger: about 3 billion people around the world now talk on almost 950 million telephone lines (about 250 million of which are actually radio-based cell phones). But by the end of the year 2000, the authors estimate there will be at least 300 million Internet users. Also, the total numbers of host computers and users have been growing at about 33% every six months since 1988 – or roughly 80% per year. The telephone service, in comparison, grows an average of about 5-10% per year. That means if the Internet keeps growing steadily the way it has been growing over the past few years, it will be nearly as big as today’s telephone system by about 2006.

What is the internet ?
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 Intern.

What is 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.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.

What are the relationship between Internet and Library?
As above, now a days, Internet has been related to everything, including Library. In fact, There is one thing that they share the same, is Information.There is a proverb about " two sides of a coin". It means, can be both positive and negative ways. In the positive way that the internet did a lot for the library, example are1. It is support the library database, means you can search the book that you need from the internet.2. It can be the source of knowledge for the Liberians and searchers to search for topics that are not in the library.In the other hand, on the negative ways.1. With the advanced of the internet can lead people to stay in touch with information rather than use the library, so people might go to the library less than before.
Conclusion:
Conclusion:
To Conclude the conclusion, Library can be effected by the internet and the advancing of technology but the success of the Internet in society as a whole will depend less on technology than on the larger economic and social concerns that are at the heart of every major advance. The Internet is no exception, except that its potential and reach are perhaps as broad as any that have come before.

INTRODUCTION
Nakhon Sawan is one of the provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighboring Provinces are (from north clockwise) Kamphaeng Phet, Phichit, Phetchabun, Lop Buri, Sing Buri, Chai Nat, Uthai Thani and Tak.
BODY
1. Etymology
The word Nakhon originates from the Sanskrit word Nagara meaning city, and the word Sawan from Sanskrit svarga meaning heaven. Hence the name of the province literally means Heaven City.
2. Geography
The Ping and Nan rivers merge near the city of Nakhon Sawan to form the Chao Phraya River. The Mae Wong National Park on the border with Khamphaeng Phet province was created in 1987 to preserve the Mae Wong-Mae Poen jungle.
Bueng Boraphet is the largest freshwater swamp in Thailand, in total covering 212 km². The swamp is located directly east of the town Nakhon Sawan and extends into the districts Tha Tako and Chum Saeng. During the winter months many waterfowls migrate there. Parts of the swamp are protected as a non-hunting area.
3. History
Nakhon Sawan was a city since Dvaravati era. While part of the Sukhothai kingdom, it was called Mueang Phra Bang, the southern frontier city of Sukhothai. Later within the Ayutthaya kingdom it was an important trade center because of its location at the two major rivers from the north. It also was the common meeting point of Burmese troops before moving to attack Ayutthaya. In the reign of King Taksin the Great, Phra Bang became a Siamese military base to prevent further Burmese attacks.
When King Mongkut signed the Bowring Treaty with Britain the glorious time of Nakhon Sawan began, as it became the main rice and teak trading center. However the opening of the Northern railway in 1922, the economic crisis before 1932 revolution, and finally the opening of Dejativongse bridge and Phahonyothin highway in 1950 each decreased the importance of water transportation and thus made Nakhon Sawan less important.
When in 1895 King Chulalongkorn established the monthon as part of the thesaphiban administrative reform, Nakhon Sawan became capital city of Monthon Nakhon Sawan.
The 4th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Area Army is based in Nakhon Sawan. It is in charge of the northwestern border with Burma, from Mae Hong Son in the north to Kanchanaburi in the south.
4. Symbols
The provincial seal shows a Wiman, a mythological castle located in heaven. This relates to the name of the province which translates to Heavenly City.
The provincial tree as well as the flower is Lagerstroemia loudonii (Loudon's crape myrtle).
5. Administrative Division
The province is subdivided in 15 districts (amphoe). These are further subdivided into 130 subdistricts (tambon) and 1328 villages (muban).

Bung Boraphet (บึงบอระเพ็ด) is the largest freshwater swamp in Thailand. Some parts of the swamp have been declared the Bung Boraphet Non-Hunting Area under the care of the Wildlife Conservation Division. Bung Boraphet is also a fish breeding ground where the Department of Fisheries has set up the Bung Boraphet Fishery Development Station
Wat Woranat Banphot or Wat Khao Kop (วัดวรนารถบรรพต หรือ วัดเขากบ): The peak has a replica of Lord Buddha’s Footprint and a pagoda encasing the relic of Lord Buddha built when Sukhothai was the country’s capital. The temple was praised by the Department of Religious Affairs as the best development temple of 1966.
Utthayan Sawan (อุทยานสวรรค์) is a beautiful public park in Nakhon Sawan Municipality beside the Asian Highway. It was originally a large swamp with an area of 502,400 square meters called Nong Som Bun. The middle of the park is an island with an area of 6,400 square meters.
Khao No-Khao Kaeo (เขาหน่อ-เขาแก้ว) is a limestone mountain that has Wat Khao Lo at its foot. There are numerous monkeys at the foot of the mountain and you can see plenty of bats that live in the cave flying out to feed in the evening, making a long black line in the night sky.
Mae Wong National Park (อุทยานแห่งชาติแม่วงก์): The area consists of winding mountains and is the source of several waterways, including the Mae Wong River and some parts of Khlung Canal. Attractions in Mae Wong National Park Kaeng Pha Khoi Nang-Kaeng Nam.
7. Festivals
Chao Pho-Chao Mae Pak Nam Pho Procession Festival (งานประเพณีแห่เจ้าพ่อ-เจ้าแม่ปากน้ำโพ) is a festival of the Thai Chinese who live in Nakhon Sawan. This festival has been held since ancient times. It takes place during Chinese New Year (around the beginning of February every year) to bring good fortune. It features various processions such as lion parade, dragon parade, angel procession, the goddess Guan Yin procession and others going along the main roads in the municipality. The festival is famous among Thais and foreigners
Boat Races for His Majesty’s Trophy (ประเพณีการแข่งเรือยาวชิงถ้วยพระราชทาน) are held annually at the end of the Buddhist Lent on the Chao Phraya River in front of the Provincial Hall. There are also races at temples along the river such as Wat Ko Hong and Wat Takhian Luan. The races show the unity of the people, as well as the skill of paddlers and boat owne
rs participating.
8. Conclusion
From this report, I had been study about the Nakhon Sawan Porvince. I choosen this topic because Nakhon Sawan is my hometown. I think to know more about others thing I need to know my hometown first because People would like ask you when you first met as "Where are you from?", so if I answer Nakhon Sawan, they would ask some information about Nakhon Sawan. After I have done this I be able to know more about my province which provide in this report.

An Arizona Daily Star analysis of school crime across local school districts showed hundreds of incidents in the past school year of assault, sexual harassment, racial comments and profanity.
Sep. 27--Girls grabbed in the crotch by boys who say it's "no big deal."
Teachers hit or held down by students trying to avoid discipline.
Behaviors that would be unthinkable just a generation ago are happening across Tucson schools.
An Arizona Daily Star analysis of school crime across local school districts showed hundreds of incidents in the past school year of assault, sexual harassment, racial comments and profanity. While only a few of the incidents involved violent crimes, the majority add up to a systematic lack of respect for other students and teachers.
Studies going back to the 1960s show that students emulate behavior they see in the media, said Laura Waterman, the clinical director for the Southern Arizona Mental Health Corp.
"If you carry that out a little further, there's no question that the interaction between and among children -- and children and adults -- as portrayed on television is considerably more disrespectful than you might have seen even 20 years ago," she said.
Part of it may be due to the economy, said Hari Ghuman, director of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Arizona. He said more kids are enrolling in community agencies to seek treatment in the past year or two.
"Last year, people became very concerned about things falling apart. Children were hearing parents concerned about losing their jobs, and it makes them worry about where they will get food or whether they'll keep their homes. When people are stressed, they act differently, and some kids may become more oppositional and angry -- not following rules, testing limits. You see all those things."
Sunnyside High School Principal Raul Nido said school is actually safer -- gang problems, for example, have waned in the past decade. But school officials still must be more aggressive in talking to kids about respecting themselves and respecting others, he said. "We need to teach them that the adults run the school," he said, "not the students."
For Alexander Cortez, an 18-year-old senior at Sunnyside, respect starts at home: "Parents need to teach stronger values and raise children with character."

The automobile as we know it was not invented in a single day by a single inventor. The history of the automobile reflects an evolution that took place worldwide. It is estimated that over 100,000 patents created the modern automobile. However, we can point to the many firsts that occurred along the way. Starting with the first theoretical plans for a motor vehicle that had been drawn up by both Leonardo da Vinci and Isaac Newton. In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1725 - 1804). Cugnot used a steam engine to power his vehicle, built under his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 1/2 mph on only three wheels. The vehicle had to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steam power. The steam engine and boiler were separate from the rest of the vehicle and placed in the front (see engraving above). The following year (1770), Cugnot built a steam-powered tricycle that carried four passengers. Information

- Reference books are usually the easiest things to reference. Reference books are the book that write about the fact & information that gather by master or professor in that topic. The detail in books are high quality and reference from the real information. You dont need to read all of the book just read only a topic that referenced to the topic you need.
- General Books are books contain informations all of the book normally same topic. Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.
4. When do you need to search information from the reference book?
I need to search information from the reference collection when I need information that I want to use. Example, If I want to know tetephone numbers I will use directory or yellow pages. And If I would like to know a volume of maps or charts with or without explanations I will use atlas. I use dictionary to find the meaning, spelling, synonyms, pronunciation, usage and derivations. And I need to search information from the reference collection to make report too.
5. What type of regerence collection that you like to use most? And why?
Normorely I used every kinds of reference collection to answer my question that I do not know,
but mostly I use dictionary because I am studing in the International program when I do not know the words, I will use dictionary to find the meaning of words from English to Thai, Thai to
English, and English to English. Dictionary not only tell me the meaning but also spelling,
synonyms, pronunciation and usage too.
6.Dictionaries
Dictionaries are used to find the meaning of words, their origin. their pronunciation and grammatical context. There are many categories of dictionary example foreign language, children's, historical, regional, crossword, slang, synonyms and antonyms, abbreviations and axronyms and subuect dictionaries. Examples include the Concise Oxford Dictionary, Roget's
Thesaurus, Maxquarie Dictionary, Acronyms, Initialisms and Abbreviations Dictionary.

2.What is LC & DC classification?
A library classification is a system of coding and organizing library materials (books, serials, audiovisual materials, computer files, maps, manuscripts, realia) according to their subject and allocating a call number to that information resource. Similar to classification systems used in biology, bibliographic classification systems group entities that are similar together typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure. A different kind of classification system, called a faceted classification system, is also widely used which allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in multiple ways.
The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system of library classification developed by the Library of Congress. It is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries. It is not to be confused with the Library of Congress Subject Headings or Library of Congress Control Number. Most public libraries and small academic libraries continue to use the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The classification was originally developed by Herbert Putnam in 1987, just before he assumed the librarianship of Congress. With advice from Charles Ammi Cutter, it was influenced by Cutter Expansive Classification, and the DDC, and was specially designed for the special purposes of the Library of Congress. The new system replaced a fixed location system developed by Thomas Jefferson. By the time of Putnam's departure from his post in 1939, all the classes except K (Law) and parts of B (Philosophy and Religion) were well developed. It has been criticized as lacking a sound theoretical basis; many of the classification decisions were driven by the particular practical needs of that library, rather than epistemological considerations.More information.
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC, also called the Dewey Decimal System)
is a proprietary system of library classification developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876, and has been greatly modified and expanded through 22 major revisions, the most recent in 2004. This system organizes books on library shelves in a specific and repeatable order that makes it easy to find any book and return it to its proper place.The DDC attempts to organize all knowledge into ten main classes. The ten main classes are each further subdivided into ten divisions, and each division into ten sections, giving ten main classes, 100 divisions and 1000 sections. DDC's advantage in using decimals for its categories allows it to be both purely numerical and infinitely hierarchical. It also uses some aspects of a faceted classification scheme, combining elements from different parts of the structure to construct a number representing the subject content (often combining two subject elements with linking numbers and geographical and temporal elements) and form of an item rather than drawing upon a list containing each class and its meaning.

Winning Thai women’s volleyball team arrives to Thailand
BANGKOK, 14 September 2009 (NNT) – The Thai women’s volleyball team has arrived at Suvarnabhumi International Airport today at 12.30 hrs after winning the gold medal at the 2009 Asian Women’s Volleyball Championship in Hanoi, Vietnam. The Thai womens team was welcomed by the Volley Ball Association of Thailand President, Pongpayome Wasaphuti, and Thai volleyball fans. Foreign media agencies including the Chinese Xinhua were also present at the airport to report the story. Mr Pongpayome stated that the championship was a great success for Thai volleyball. He added that the Thai team’s victory was proof that Thai volleyball was second to none. As for the coming World Grand Champions Cup hosted by Japan in November 2009, Mr Pongpayome said that Thailand, as a champion of Asia, would participate in the competition. He said the association expected that the Thai team would place 4th in the competition. The president stated further that the Thai women’s volleyball champions would receive around 4 million baht. 3 million baht from the National Sports Development Fund and 1 million baht from the association.

A library classification is a system of coding and organizing library materials (books, serials, audiovisual materials, computer files, maps, manuscripts, realia) according to their subject and allocating a call number to that information resource. Similar to classification systems used in biology, bibliographic classification systems group entities that are similar together typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure. A different kind of classification system, called a faceted classification system, is also widely used which allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in multiple ways.
The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system of library classification developed by the Library of Congress. It is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries. It is not to be confused with the Library of Congress Subject Headings or Library of Congress Control Number. Most public libraries and small academic libraries continue to use the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The classification was originally developed by Herbert Putnam in 1987, just before he assumed the librarianship of Congress. With advice from Charles Ammi Cutter, it was influenced by Cutter Expansive Classification, and the DDC, and was specially designed for the special purposes of the Library of Congress. The new system replaced a fixed location system developed by Thomas Jefferson. By the time of Putnam's departure from his post in 1939, all the classes except K (Law) and parts of B (Philosophy and Religion) were well developed. It has been criticized as lacking a sound theoretical basis; many of the classification decisions were driven by the particular practical needs of that library, rather than epistemological considerations.More information.
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC, also called the Dewey Decimal System)
is a proprietary system of library classification developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876, and has been greatly modified and expanded through 22 major revisions, the most recent in 2004. This system organizes books on library shelves in a specific and repeatable order that makes it easy to find any book and return it to its proper place.The DDC attempts to organize all knowledge into ten main classes. The ten main classes are each further subdivided into ten divisions, and each division into ten sections, giving ten main classes, 100 divisions and 1000 sections. DDC's advantage in using decimals for its categories allows it to be both purely numerical and infinitely hierarchical. It also uses some aspects of a faceted classification scheme, combining elements from different parts of the structure to construct a number representing the subject content (often combining two subject elements with linking numbers and geographical and temporal elements) and form of an item rather than drawing upon a list containing each class and its meaning.

3.Access the Lirary website: What is the call mumber?
A call number
is a group of numbers and/or letters put together to tell you where in the library to find your book. A call number is located at the bottom of the book on the spine. It helps you to find your books quicker. Once you've got your call number from the card catalog, it's time to go find your book!
4.What are sources of knowledge? Identifi as much as you know.
Each of us possesses a great deal of knowledge. We know about ourselves; we know about the world around us; we know about abstract concepts and ideas. Philosophers have often wondered where this knowledge ultimately comes from. Of course, we learn a lot of things from books, from the media, and from other people. To process information from these sources, however, we must already know many things: how to read, how to reason, who to trust. To learn these things requires yet more knowledge. What, then, is the most fundamental way of acquiring knowledge?
There are two competing traditions concerning the ultimate source of our knowledge: empiricism and rationalism.Empiricists hold that all of our knowledge is ultimately derived from our senses or our experiences. They therefore deny the existence of innate knowledge, i.e. knowledge that we possess from birth. Empiricism fits well with the scientific world-view that places an emphasis on experimentation and observation. It struggles, however, to account for certain types of knowledge, e.g. knowledge of pure mathematics or ethics.Rationalists hold that at least some of our knowledge is derived from reason alone, and that reason plays an important role in the acquisition of all of our knowledge. There is clearly a limit to what we can learn through abstract thought, but the rationalist’s claim is that reason play a role in observation, and so that the mind is more fundamental than the senses in the process of knowledge-acquisition.
