Internet reference Questions - Hanem Ibrahim 2

1- Business are classified under SIC Codes. What does SIC mean? I need a web resource

that will provide access to SIC.

Analysis of the question, what type of question, what resources needed?

This is one of the ready reference questions which could get complicated if we didnt get

the result as quickly and easily as we can. It has two parts; the first one could be easy if

there is a web dictionary that will define this acronym and then we could get the meaning

from that dictionary or from general or Business encyclopedia to identify what the

abbreviate (SIC) stands for, and to know the meaning of it in Business. The second part

is to get a web resource that provide us with an access to whatever SIC is.

Justification of the resource

The best way to search for a web dictionary that provide us with definition to a subject

terms (Business) is to search for it through one of the web directories that provide us

with web reference resources like (Search Engine Colossus or libraryspot.com, )

I first searched for resources in Business through Search Engine Colossus" which is a

web directory that organized by subjects, I received a meta search engine (i-une.com)

that meta search engine provides resources in Business.

From (i-une.com) I searched for resources in SIC one of the results was

dictionary.com , its general web dictionary, but I searched there for SIC code it

referred me to results from Ask.com; because there was not a match on Dictionary.com

for SIC.

The first result I received about it was the main page of NAICS which is one of the US

census Bureau organization, from there I got all the answers I need, first the definition

or the meaning of SIC, and with a click on the hyperlinked term(SIC) it referred me to

an access to all SIC system divisions, from osha.gov.

The second web resources directory I used to get the answer was the reference desk of

libraryspot.com at http://www.libraryspot.com/acronyms.htm I searched for

(SIC)Abbreviations and Acronyms of the U.S. Government I received results from

Researching an Industry. The results led me to the same (SIC) manual at:

http://www.osha.gov/oshstats/sicser.htmlibdustry .

If we know from the beginning that SIC is part from US. Census Bureau, It would be

easy to look for it from their website on the net directly. Also I could get that answer to

whats the meaning of SIC code+ Business) directly from Ask.com web site.

Answer

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the standard used by

Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of

collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy.

NAICS was developed under the auspices of the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB), and adopted in 1997 to replace theStandard Industrial Classification (SIC)

system.

1- By clicking on the hyperlinked term above, it led me to another website with all the access to

links to SIC division. Some of them as followed:

SIC Division Structure

[ SIC Search]

A. Division A: Agriculture, Forestry, And Fishing

Major Group 01: Agricultural Production Crops

Major Group 02: Agriculture production livestock and animal specialties

Major Group 07: Agricultural Services

Major Group 08: Forestry

Major Group 09: Fishing, hunting, and trapping

B. Division B: Mining

Major Group 10: Metal Mining

Major Group 12: Coal Mining

Major Group 13: Oil And Gas Extraction

Major Group 14: Mining And Quarrying Of Nonmetallic Minerals, Except Fuels

Division C: Construction

The answer to the question through libraryspot.com

Industry codes are used to describe a company's line of business. The current standard is the 6-

digitNorth American Industry Classification Systems (NAICS) code, but many company and

industry directories continue to use the older, 4-digitStandard Industrial Classification(SIC).

Searchable online North American Industry Classification Systems, 2007 (NAICS) codes:

came into use in the 1930s, but has had no updates since 1987. The NAICS was

born in 1997. Despite being newer and more up-to-date, NAICS is by no means

the default industry code system, as many resources still reference SIC.

Conversion between the two is available at theU.S. Census Bureaus NAICS-SIC

Correspondence Tables.

How can I find the code for a given industry?

Business and Company Resource Centerprovides easy browsing of both SIC and

NAICS codes. From the main page, click on the Industry icon, then under Enter

Industry Description, select the appropriate code you wish to browse.

Business and Company Resource Centeralso allows you to find the SIC and NAICS

codes for companies. On the main page, do a Company Search by company name or

ticker symbol, and on the Company Profile results page will be listed both SIC andNAICS codes for your company, about halfway down the page

This is type of ready reference questions that could be searched from IPL, directory

which could lead us to a gazetteer for US which should provide us with all the

demographic and other information about any state in USA. It could be answer quickly

I tried the gazetteer specialized in USA, The US Gazetteer is the only one could

provide specific answer about demographic information in certain State in U.S this

internet Gazetteer published as one of Census US Bureau online, it could be searched

by the place inside US, but I couldnt get any answer either dead link, or some

Authorization problem with that site.

I tried the search key at the bottom of that page it referred me to a searchable box in

Census US Bureau, from there I searched for (Demographic Connecticut)

http://search.census.gov/search?q=connecticut+demographic, I received a different

results, the first one about Connecticut linked to http://factfinder.census.gov/, which

provides statistical demographic information about any state in US.

If we need short information about the whole country we could use the World Gazetteer

which provides general information of each country without maps, but if we need more

detailed information about USA for example there is a link to CIA World Factbook

through The world wide gazetteer at www.gazeteer.com . The World Factbookis

powered by CIA available athttps://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-

factbook/geos/us.html , it provides information about each country and map.

also go to Front Pageswhich allows copying the front page of the available newspapers.

But this site doesnt have NYT front pages.

If we need to find only the front page news of NYT on 09/26/1967 then, I will start from

libraryspot.com to search in their newspapers for the NYT.


Through the searching box in the website of the NYT I searched for these terms

(09/26/1967, AND front page news) I limited the answer from the pull down menu to

the archive from 1850-1980. I received a list of the news articles that published on that

date. There is no available the front page images for free.

If there is no free access to full text to these articles from the front page of this specific

issue of the NYT, then we have to work in finding an access to a web database that

allow this services only through the subscription of a database that allows searching

through the archives of NYT newspaper for specific date to get article or any headlines

in past issues.

Through the internet I learnt about ProQuest Historical Newspapers, it is -the definitive

digital archive-offers full-text and full-image articles for significant newspapers dating

back to the 18th Century. As part of the ProQuest Historical Newspapers program,

every issue of each title includes the complete paper-cover-to-cover, with full-page and

article images in easily downloadable PDF format. If your library already subscribes to

the historicalNew York Times, the addition of theIndex will provide all the benefits

available through this database.

I tried to search through the dot- com website of ProQuest, but I couldnt also get any

result, the searching box there allow searching through the contents of this site only not

the database itself, and there is ability to search the database from this site only for

subscriber.

I searched through Buley library databases to see if they have an access to ProQuest

Newspaper database, I found it through the index of database.

From Buley library Databases, I chose ProQuest Newspaper database, where I could

search for a full text on that specific date September 26 1967( my date of birth) through

the simple searching boxes I entered ( page 1), and from the drop down menu I chose

searching in News- The Historical New York Times database. It allows searching by

1- Who was the first female governor of any state in the U.S. that was elected to the post?


This is a ready reference question that needs a first fact web resource like U.S. almanac,

or website that provides us with events or specific firsts of women in America. I knew

from my practices in this course that infoplease.com has an almanac that provides

famous firsts in U.S., and the world, so thats will be a good start to find the answer.


From libraryspot.com I searched for almanacs I found infoplease almanac the first

choice. I searched for these terms (First women governor) in its searching box, I

received different results, I tried the first one which was from Famous Firsts by

American Women, 1901Present, the results are arranged by years, and if I dont know

the year of that event, I had to brows all the included years to find the answer in 1925.

I tried to use another site from the provided results which was the First in America, I

wanted to see if there is any special information, but again I had to brows all the firsts

till I found the first women elected as Governor. So there is no specific highlight or

index to the answer in both sites, I cant find the answer easily without checking the list

from the beginning till I find it. And thats not convenient. Its easier through Google

results.

The answer to the question

The answer from first in America.

Woman elected governor of a state: Nellie Tayloe Ross, Wyoming, 1925.

The answer from women first.

Nellie Tayloe Ross becomes the first woman to serve as governor of a state, in Wyoming.

In the fall of 1924 she was elected to succeed her deceased husband, William Bradford

Ross.
