Y . UIR practical 1 . Friday, November 9, 2007 .
I've done UIR pratical 1 last week which is about researching on an aspect of a topic. I've chosen the topic on Games and the aspect being Olympic Games.
Under the Newsgroups and discussion list category, I've found http://www.usolympicteam.com/33.htm and this website contain details about events and discussions that are held for the Olympic games.
Under the Electronic journals and magazine category, I've found http://www.fmlink.com/ProfResources/Magazines/article.cgi?FM%20World:fmworld0711a.htm and this website contains how the hosting country of the Olympic games will have a huge economic growth and all the statistics. It also talks about the effort in setting up of the places for the Games.
Under the Multi-media source category, I've found http://en.beijing2008.cn/1year/ and this website contains interviews, photo gallery,etc about the Olympic games in Beijing 2008.
Under the WWW site category, I've found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games and this website explains Olympic Games as follows. 'The Olympic Games (often referred to simply as The Olympics or The Games) is an international multi-sport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events. The summer and winter games are each held every four years (an Olympiad). Until 1992, they were both held in the same year. Since then, they have been separated two years apart.'
My partner's and my findings are quite different in the resource description.
