雅思寫作必備詞彙:圖書館與網際網路

2016.10. 8 task 2

Some people think that the library is a waste of money, and the computer technologies are replacing its functions.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The Internet is not a substitute for the library, but a search tool to be used in addition to traditional sources in the library.

去圖書館的幾個理由

1. Everything Is Not On the Internet

不是所有的東西都在網際網路上

網際網路上所包含的東西只是出版的一小部分。美國圖書館協會的報告說:“只有不到8%的報紙和書籍可以在網上被找到。”最可靠的學術資訊都是在報紙和書籍中。尋找搜尋詞的初始步驟也開始於書籍的索引和標題中。

* consist of 包含 search engine 搜尋引擎 scholarly 學術的 preliminary 初始的 index 索引

2. The Internet Is Not Organized

網際網路沒有組織性

沒有一個系統是可以把所有的網路資源合理組織和編錄的。在網際網路上搜索就好比是搜尋一個沒有分類的目錄一樣。你在網上用搜索引擎查詢資訊時,其實你只是搜尋網路的一部分資源。搜尋到的東西不一定和你所找的話題相關,而且會浪費時間,讓人挫敗和迷惑。

* catalog 目錄/編錄 unclassified 未分類的 relevant 相關的

3. The Internet Doesn’t Have Quality Control

網際網路沒有質量控制

質量控制難以在網際網路上實現。網際網路上開放性的'資訊來源容易讓人得到錯誤的資訊。任何個人都可以上網建立網站。

* open source 開放資源 misinformed 錯誤的 access 進入、得到

4. Sources on the Internet are Harder to Identify

網際網路資訊來源更難辨認

網路很難告訴你資訊來源。當你寫論文使用網路資訊時,你需要打印出來並指明資訊來源。網上的資訊可以一夜之間發生變化。而從博物館裡得到的資訊會明確告訴你資訊來源。

* cite引用 overnight 一夜之間 database 資訊庫

5. Library Online Resources are Available 24/7

圖書館網上資源隨時可以獲取

圖書館線上資訊庫可以在校園裡獲取,可以通過網路並使用自己的ID遠端獲取。這和網上查詢資訊不一樣。

(大家要注意,這裡所提到的可能會和雅思作文題目有衝突。畢竟線上圖書館也算是computer technology的範疇。但考生可以argue:線上服務是圖書館提供的。換句話說,沒有的實體圖書館也就沒有了線上圖書館。)

* 24/7 全天候 remotely 遠端的

6. Trained Professionals Available For Assistance

有專業人員提供幫助

友善的圖書管理員親自幫你找到相關資訊、與你交談、接收email和電話。你在查詢資訊的一開始就可以尋求幫助,節省了上網查資訊的寶貴時間。

* knowledgeable 有學識的 assist 幫助 in person 親自

7. The Internet Has Fewer Archival Materials

網際網路上的歸檔資訊不多

圖書館比網際網路有更老的資料。10到15年前的數字化資料是很難在網際網路上找到的。網際網路的資訊更及時,更新快。

* archival 歸檔的 digitalization 數字化 timely 及時的

  原文部分:

1. Everything Is Not On the Internet

The Internet consists of a small percentage of what’s published. Search engines such as Google, AltaVista, and Yahoo access are limited. ALA reports that only 8% of all journals and even fewer books are on the Internet. The most reliable scholarly information is available in books and journals. Preliminary steps to find the appropriate search terms should start with print indexes and subject headings volumes.

2. The Internet Is Not Organized

There is not a system that catalogs and organizes all resources on the Internet. A search on the Internet is similar to searching an unclassified catalog. When you use any of the search engines, you’re searching only part of the Internet. Searches are not always relevant to your topic and can cause a lot of wasted time, frustration and confusion

3. The Internet Doesn’t Have Quality Control

Quality control isn’t easy to achieve on the Internet. Open Source information on the Internet is quite common and easy to get misinformed information. Anyone with access to the Internet can publish a Website.

4. Sources on the Internet are Harder to Identify

Information on the WWW is hard to tell who’s telling you what and where is the location of the information. When you use information in your paper from the Internet, it’s important to print it out and cite your sources. Information taken from the Web can change overnight. Information taken from the library or databases in the library gives the exact location. One must give full documentation when using information from a site.

5. Library Online Resources are Available 24/7

Online databases can be accessed 24 hours a day 7 days a week from the library’s webpage. These databases are in the library’s collection and can be accessed on campus and remotely with your University ID via the Internet. This is not to be confused with searching the Internet.

6. Trained Professionals Available For Assistance

Knowledgeable and friendly librarians are available to assist with locating information in person, chat, e-mail or telephone. Request assistance at the beginning of your research and spare valuable time spent on the Internet.

7. The Internet Has Fewer Archival Materials

The library has older materials than the Internet. Digitalization that goes back more than 10-15 years can be difficult to locate on the Internet. The Internet provides more timely information, and is constantly updated.
