Unit 7: Finding Articles in Periodical Indexes

I appreciated your comments about my research statement.. When I first started experimenting with the data bases I entered the final statement I personal came up with from Unit 6;
Question: How has privacy been effected by technology?
FINAL STATEMENT:  Tec* and (Privacy or Security)
I did have good results, but as I analyzed the"titles of the articles", I noticed that several were dealing more with security than privacy.
So I took your advice and I adjusted my search statement to Technology and Privacy.
 The following are the article results for the different resources, Popular Magazine, Scholarly Journal, Trade Publication Journal, and Newspaper.

Magazine: PC World
Title of the Article: HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DIGITAL LIFE

Citation: Anonymous, . "HOW TO PROTECT YOUR DIGITAL LIFE. " PC World  1 Apr. 2009: Vol. 27, Iss. 4; pg. 46, 1 pgs. Platinum Periodicals, ProQuest. Web.  18 Feb. 2011. 

Annotation: I chose this article because of its title. In my original questions, I was asking how our privacy has been effected by technology and the advancement of the Internet?  I often wonder how we can ensure our privacy and keep ourselves safe while using the Internet.  I thought the title of this article sounded like it would support those question. It seems as technology keeps advancing the need for us to use a computer/Internet is increasing, understanding how you can protect our privacy and safe guard our personal information is vitally important.

Scholarly Journal: Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law
Title of the Article: DIGITAL MULTI-MEDIA AND THE LIMITS OF PRIVACY LAW

Citation: Lipton, J.. "DIGITAL MULTI-MEDIA AND THE LIMITS 
OF PRIVACY LAW." Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law  
42.3 (2010): 551-571. Research Library, ProQuest. Web.  19 Feb. 2011. 

Annotation: I chose this article because it contained the elements needed to be able to quote a scholarly journal. First, it is a long and an in-depth article (21 pages) Second, It is a journal that focuses on an academic discipline-Law. Lastly, the way that the paper read. It stated a directive, then had a process presented as to support or analyze the process. It was difficult for me to find a true scholar article. Several times I would fine an article that supported my search statement, but then when I would click the "Find It" Article Button, it would say, "sorry this article is not immediately available." Which would lead me to another search. It was a little frustrating. 

 

Trade Publication Journal: Association for Computing Machinery. Communications of the ACM

Title of the Article: Privacy and Security: Myths and Fallacies of "Personally Identifiable Information"

Citation: Narayanan, A., and V. Shmatikov. "Privacy and Security: Myths and Fallacies of "Personally Identifiable Information". Association for Computing Machinery. Communications of the ACM  Jun. 2010: Vol. 53, Iss. 6; pg. 24. Platinum Periodicals, ProQuest. Web.  18 Feb. 2011. 

Annotation: I chose this article because it seemed to support the core of my question. The credentials of the authors were also present. Arvind Narayanan  is a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and  Vitaly Shmatikov  is an associate professor of computer science at the University of Texas at Austin.  This Trade Publication Journal is dealing with articles associated with the profession of computers technology. Trade publications are the periodicals you can use to keep up with the news in a certain profession. Articles are related to a specific field, but they're typically not research-length or peer-reviewed. 

**I found that several of the articles that I wanted to use were Trade Publications. They were not considered a true Scholarly Journal because when I looked at the actual publication journal, several articles were only a couple of pages, they included pictures and they were not academically disciplined.  

Newspaper: The New York Times

Title of the Article: Technology Outpaces Privacy (Yet Again); [Money and Business/Financial Desk]

Citation: Natasha Singer. "Technology Outpaces Privacy (Yet Again) :[Money and Business/Financial Desk]." New York Times  12  Dec. 2010, Late Edition (East Coast): New York Times, ProQuest. Web.  19 Feb. 2011.

Annotation: I chose this article because of the summary that was posted. It seems to support  the key elements to my search statement and the underlining core questions I have about privacy and how its been effected by technology.
