Nowhere is perfect, there will be some search consultants who have favorites and try to get them selected instead, but all firms should be striving to avoid that practice. Evaluation This article had some deal to do with business conduct. When reading this article, the ethical dilemma in Chapter three comes to mind. Lavonda had been recruited to another pharmaceutical firm. But how it she was recruited was not, by any means, appropriate. The case itself said that Lavonda was “lured away from her last company because of her expertise in the pharmaceutical industry and early success in management”. How Lavonda was recruited is exactly how the article “Searching for the Top” described not to do. The article also mentions lying. In chapter three, it also discussed how lying was unethical. “Lying can be segmented into (1) causing damage or harm; (2) a ‘white lie,’ … an excuse or...

...Digital Resources Maximilian A. Schmidt 1.EBSCOhost: My experience with EBSCOhost was very well. I tried to find out how the ISIS attack in Paris influenced the travel companies which are connected to Paris. EBSCOhost uses the Boolean logic so you can add specific words for your search. For me it worked very simple and well and also the results of the search were very useful. 2. FACTSET: FACTSET is a very good tool when your are searching for Company statistics. In my case I was searching for the statistics of the Volkswagen AG. My results were very good tables, statistics and graphs about the concern. It offers a great overview and is very clearly arranged. 3. IBIS World: 4. JSTOR: JSTOR is like a digital library were you have access to a lot of journal articles and even some books. The search system is very simple but you can also use the advanced search where you can especially look for a specific time period, ISBN number or decide what kind of resource you are searching for (Articles, books, reviews…). 5.

... Short Case 11, page pg 228: Responses: The first step would be to document and exam the process for which the cash collection happens. At that point you will need to interview the people involved. The only other step you could have taken is setting up surveillance cameras in the area where cash collection happens, but that won’t necessarily catch the fraudulent collection of cash. Short Case 13, page pg 228: Responses: 1. When looking at the employee’s computers you need to be aware that he could possibly have some private information on there. This could be looked at as an invasion of privacy and a breach of the 4th amendment. 2. You could search the computer manually through using the internet history and searching through his email. You best bet is to get a forensic software like forensic toolkit to take a thorough look into the possible fraud. 3. Yes, you should be able to if you find that he is the seller of the product.

...I began my search process through the EBSCO Discovery Service bar on Clarion University by starting with the keywords “LGBTQ AND librar*” in order to receive library and libraries in the results. This brought up over 32,000 results - I narrowed the search down to 2012-2017, Full Text, and Academic Articles to start - which brought it down to about 4,600. I knew that I did not want young adults or children, nor did I want collection development articles, which unfortunately consisted of many of the results. The first article I found was Self-Censorship in Selection of LGBT-Themed Materials by Jennifer Downey. While this article is not a library service, per say, it does speak pointedly about how librarians should treat the idea of LGBT lifestyle in their performances, whether it is purchasing materials or seeking out the community. The next item that came up was Where is the “T”? Improving Library Service to Community Members who are Transgender-Identified by Kelly Thompson. This was a great result to find as the majority of LGBTQ resources seem to primarily focus on L, G, and B, but not the trans community. From here, I decided to review the subject categories the articles fell under and selected “Libraries and LGBT people” for results. However, nothing of significant interest came up because it dealt with youth, it was older than five years, or tackled another topic outside of library services. Going back the search bard, I altered my search with an asterisk - “LGBT* AND librar*”...

...something; himself: “I guess then you did leave me something to remind me of you, every time I interrupt someone like you used to do, if I do something like you, you’ll be on my mind all through because I forgot, you left me behind to remind me of you” (p. 2 ll. 13 - 14). Skinner realizes that he has himself to remind him of his father, because they have some of the same traits and habits. The whole song trough, Skinner sings about how his father was and what he is supposed to do now that he is gone. He wants to believe in something, because it could help him move on. Therefore it is hard for him not to search: “… but it’s hit me since you left us and it’s so hard not to search” (p. 1 ll. 8 - 9). By “search” Skinner means searching for answers or searching for something religious. When his father was still around him, he did not believe in anything but after his death he needs to find...

...Testing students for drugs In this section of the reading it states that drug testing in schools is valid and not violating the fourth amendment. I would say that I do agree with them because they are trying to keep drugs out of school. In my opinion this does not violate the fourth amendment because the children are choosing to be in sports even though they know there will be drug testing. I would say this is more of a search than a seizer. The school does have their rights to ask for a drug test for students who want to participate in sports. School have a rule that if you are participating in sports than you cannot be on drugs. They would not be drug tested against their will which means that it is not an illegal search. I have never heard of a middle school drug testing athletes and I feel that should not be done. Middle school children are too young to be thought of as children on drugs. If they are being drug tested then they are being introduced to the thought that drugs are out there and can be done. I think it is very inappropriate to drug test a middle school student. There should be an age limit on drug testing students. Squeezing luggage on a bus I am going to have to disagree with this section of the reading. In this section of the reading an officer squeezed a passengers bag when he passed by. He felt a brick like substance and asked to check the bag. The man said yes it was okay to check the bag. At that time the officer found drugs in his bag. In court...

..."The Hairy Ape", by Eugene O'Neill is a sad portrayal of social injustice. The character of Yank is brutish and simple and in one pivotal moment he is made to feel inferior to the point that it haunts him psychologically. His strength and appearance were his identity and he felt like he "belonged". Yet, after being referred to as a "filthy beast" by Mildred, he is ashamed of his language, demeanor, and appearance. Yank begins a search to find himself and his place in the world. This search leads him to see how society perceives him when he becomes violent on Fifth Avenue and is imprisoned for thirty days. While there, he is confronted with the opportunity to repay society for their betrayal, but again his ideas are rejected. Yank is searching for acceptance and decides to visit the zoo to see a real ape. He sees a reflection of himself in the caged beast as both have been displaced and imprisoned. Both the ape and Yank do not belong in polity society. He thinks for a moment that he and the ape are kindred spirits of a sort and he opens the cage. He is crushed by the ape, which he had just referred to as his brother. The ape throws him into the cage and shuts the door. His last act of defiance is to die standing while gripping the bars of the cage. Even the ape feels that he does not belong. Work cited: O'Neill, Eugene."The Hairy Ape".
