This document provides an overview of library resources for a business class. It discusses how the library catalog and databases can be used to access books, articles, and other materials. It explains that the catalog contains information on physical items while databases provide digital access to periodicals and other resources. The document also introduces bibliographic citation software and describes how the "invisible web" contains much information only accessible through structured database searches rather than public search engines. Students are shown how to evaluate internet sources and search specific databases to uncover useful business and legal resources that may otherwise be hidden online.
Contextual search is a form of optimizing web-based search results based on context provided by the user and the computer being used to enter the query.Contextual search services differ from current search engines based on traditional information retrieval that return lists of documents based on their relevance to the query. Rather, contextual search attempts to increase the precision of results based on how valuable they are to individual users.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

2. Who are you and how am I to remember all this stuff?
7. Catalogs – for locating books, maps, musical scores, govt. documents, etc. Databases – usually for locating magazine and newspaper articles, but may cover other materials as well Internet – digital content, mostly in the public domain (not commercial materials) Accessing Information
8. Massive collections of data which allow for retrieval Organized Fully indexed Allows for sophisticated searching Target audience Shows access points Updated every second of every day Catalogs
10. Databases Massive collections of data which allow for retrieval Organized Fully indexed Allows for sophisticated searching Target audience Selected content Not free to the library but free to users Updated periodically
14. Off Campus Access Be sure to click on the “Off campus access tab” to the right of the database title to begin First and last name exactly as it appears on ONU ID + all 11 digits of university ID Click on “submit”
16. Finding Journals at HML If looking for a specific journal, type in title at library catalog Print Back issues on microfiche Back issues available electronically
17. Fortune, print Own title from 1969 to latest received copy. Click on “latest received” to find out where all issues are housed
18. Fortune, print BND PRP means these issues are at bindery and so unavailable ARRIVED means just that and because the location is “Reserve”, these are ones behind the desk. Copies from 1969 through September 2010 are on 2nd floor bound periodical collection or in microforms
29. Internet Databases “Pay to Play” Usually created by a single publisher Content pre-arranged for easy use Quality/ content control thru editorial staff Content usually available only to subscribers Content source usually identified and dated Internet (Search Engines) Material from numerous sources, individual. Government, etc. Search engines must work with material prepared without regard for specific software Quality of material varies Generally do not access for-profit information Content often anonymous and undated
30. Unstructured Constantly changing Not fully indexed Appeals to no special audience No selection of content Content most often not free Updated every second of every day Internet
39. Internet Google and Wikipedia aren’t evil, just use them for the correct purpose in your research.
40. Internet ONU buys Full-text database Note: See the “Google Scholar” tab in Research Guide for off campus access Google asks to link to content OhioLINK Permits Google to link to full-text Run Google Scholar Search ONU user sees licensed full-text articles

42. The Invisible Web Most searchers only locate 0.03% - 1 in 3,000 - of the Web pages available to them Even advanced searchers, using largest search engines, can only access about 16% of Web content Diagrams from http://brightplanet.com/technology/deepweb.asp
44. The Invisible Web WHY? Because 84% of the information available on the Internet is found only on the “invisible Web,” a.k.a. “deep Web,” and is not searchable using a general search engine such as Google Statistics from The Deep Web: Surfacing Hidden Value, http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/07-01/bergman.html
45. The Invisible Web Visible Web page exists in “static” or unchanging form Exists as a “physical” file on a computer Most in .htm or .html format Similar to a word processed document in .doc or .wpd format
46.
47. The Invisible Web Invisible Web content is “dynamic” or changing Contains bits of information stored in a database and pulled together on-the-fly into a Web page at your request Page doesn’t exist until you request it Similar to a mail merged document
48.
49. The Invisible Web Because this content is dynamic, or “physically” nonexistent, most search engines are unable to retrieve it, thereby rendering it “invisible”.
50. Indexing & the Invisible Web Spider crawls Web starting with already indexed static pages Spider encounters database Query is required to access “dynamic” data Spider incapable of generating query Spider stops and cannot index data in database Content rendered “invisible”
51. The Invisible Web Other types of Invisible Web Content Very recent static pages which haven’t yet been indexed Password protected data
52. The Invisible Web Content 95% of invisible Web content is free and available to the public Quality of content often exceeds that of visible Web content From The Deep Web: Surfacing Hidden Value, http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/07-01/bergman.html
53. The Invisible Web Content Legal & Governmental Materials Available in the Public Domain Case law Statutes Bills Regulations Patents Briefs Census Data Government Reports
54. The Invisible Web Content All Databases owned by Heterick Memorial Library under the “Business” or “Marketing” links See MRKT Research Guide under “Invisible/Deep Web” Business Data SEC filings Stock quotes Company profiles, annual reports
55. The Invisible Web Content General Information Address & phone directories Flight schedules Dictionaries Maps
56. The Invisible Web Content NOT freely available on Web (usually) For Profit Publications Public domain documents with editorial enhancements Other material that is someone’s intellectual property
57. Finding Invisible Web Content To find ANY information, consider where an authoritative source might be found Print? Visible Web? Invisible Web? Subscription Database? Phone Call? Next, consider the quickest, most cost-effective way to get the information
58. Finding Invisible Web Content If you determine that it may be available on the invisible Web, how do you find it? By knowing where to look!
59. Finding Invisible Web Content A great deal of excellent legal and business information is freely available on the Internet unfortunately Much of it is contained within databases and is, therefore, invisible to most conventional search engines
60. Finding Invisible Web Content The most effective way to access this information is using the database’s own search box fortunately The search box is usually found on a static, visible Web page that is accessible using a conventional search engine
61. Finding Invisible Web Content Search Strategy DON’Tsearch for specific information using a conventional search engine DO use a conventional search engine to search for a database that may contain the information you seek THEN use the search box for that database to search for the specific information
62. Finding Invisible Web Content “The point is that often the key to the answer is not locating the answer itself as the first step, but locating the right database in which to search for it.” Diana Botluk, Mining Deeper into the Invisible Web, http://www.llrx.com/features/mining.htm
