Reference sources
This document discusses choosing the appropriate reference source for different types of information needs. It introduces seven common reference sources: telephone directory, thesaurus, dictionary, atlas, almanac, encyclopedia, and internet sites. Examples are provided of using each reference for different information needs, such as using a dictionary for word definitions, an atlas to find locations, and an encyclopedia for summaries about various topics. Students will then work in groups using "work stations" to explore the reference sources and create a tree map to classify each one.
Almanac
This document discusses almanacs, which are annual publications that provide various tabular data arranged by calendar, such as weather forecasts, tide tables, and farmer's planting dates. Almanacs also contain celestial and statistical information. The first almanac was created by Abu Ishaq Ibrahim al-Zarqali. Almanacs are published by many countries and serve purposes such as predicting astronomical and weather events, supplying climate history, and making farming recommendations.
Ready reference
This document discusses ready reference, which are reference questions that can be answered quickly from a single source. It defines ready reference and the types of materials used, such as directories, almanacs, yearbooks, handbooks and manuals. It provides examples of various ready reference sources like directories of associations, telephone directories, the World Book Yearbook, the Old Farmer's Almanac, The World Almanac and Book of Facts, and the Statistical Abstract of the United States.
3rd Encyclopedia
An encyclopedia is a reference source that provides information on many different subjects. It is divided into multiple volumes that are organized alphabetically to make topics easy to find. Each page lists subjects in alphabetical order along with guide words. To look up a topic, one finds the letter it begins with and chooses that volume. Print encyclopedias contain physical books, while online encyclopedias provide digital information. The encyclopedia is a valuable resource for finding answers to questions by locating the relevant topic or key terms.

Bibliographic control : Basics
Bibliographic control involves creating, organizing, managing, and maintaining bibliographic records to facilitate access to information. It includes standardizing descriptions, subject access, creating catalogs and finding aids, and providing physical access. Tools for bibliographic control include bibliographies, databases, indexes, and catalogs. Bibliographies are lists of written works by author or subject. Databases are large, regularly updated files of digitized information. Indexes are alphabetically arranged lists of headings to refer readers to information in a text. Catalogs are comprehensive lists of materials in a collection arranged systematically.
The dictionary
Dictionaries are references that list words in alphabetical order along with their meanings, pronunciations, and origins. There are two main types - descriptive dictionaries that describe language usage and prescriptive dictionaries that prescribe proper usage. Dictionaries are used to learn new words, check definitions and spellings, and understand word origins. They contain entries with parts like definitions, pronunciations, and examples. The earliest known dictionaries date back to 2300 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia. The first English dictionary was published in 1604 by Robert Cawdrey. Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary was influential in standardizing American English.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
