Question

A 2015 open-access textbook titled *Introduction to Criminal Law* was published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under a CC BY-NC-SA license. Identify another textbook released in the same year by the same publisher under the same Creative Commons license. What is the full title of that book, what type of courses is it intended for, and what specific license governs its use? In addition, explain what instructions are provided by the hosting platform for users who wish to suggest edits or improvements to a book’s record.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Examiner rationale

The question uses the shared publisher, year (2015), and identical CC BY-NC-SA license from the criminal law text as a logical filter (Deep reasoning) to identify the correct companion textbook without naming it. It then requires aggregation of multiple factual details about that book (title, audience, license) and also incorporates separate procedural information from the platform’s edit-suggestion guidance page (Wide aggregation), ensuring the respondent must synthesize information from multiple sources.

Judgment

Tie

BOTH

Score 0 - 0

First, Deep Logic check: The correct textbook is *Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology* (2015), published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under CC BY-NC-SA, intended for undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology. Agent A identified *Principles of Management* (wrong entity, wrong intended audience). Agent B identified *Beginning Excel* (also wrong entity and wrong intended audience). Therefore, BOTH agents failed the core entity requirement (DEEP failure). Next, Width/Completeness: Because both selected incorrect textbooks, they also failed to satisfy key checklist elements (correct title, correct intended audience in MIS/IT). While both described CC BY-NC-SA and the edit-suggestion mechanism in reasonable detail, those details are attached to the wrong book context. Thus both also fail WIDE aggregation relative to the required entity. Since both agents missed the central entity and intended audience, this is a Low Quality Tie. Formatting and citation density differences do not outweigh the fundamental factual error. Accuracy is foundational, and both responses fail it.

Another textbook released in 2015 by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing is *Principles of Management* [1]. Adapted from an earlier work, this open-access textbook is specifically intended for introductory management courses, providing students with both the practical skills and theoretical foundations needed to effectively manage organizations [1]. Like *Introduction to Criminal Law*, it is strictly governed by the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA) 4.0 International license [1]. This specific license allows educators and students to freely copy, redistribute, remix, and build upon the material, provided they give appropriate attribution to the original creator, do not use the material for any commercial purposes, and distribute any modified works under the exact same open license [1]. For individuals who wish to suggest edits or improvements to a book’s specific record, the hosting platform—the Open Textbook Library, supported by the Open Education Network—provides designated built-in tools to facilitate community feedback [2]. Users are instructed to navigate to the textbook's dedicated web page and click on the "Suggest an edit to this book record" link, which is located in the left-hand sidebar menu [2]. Activating this link directs the user to a formal online submission form where they can report broken URLs, identify typographical issues, inform the library of newly released editions, or submit other critical metadata corrections [2]. This structured feedback system allows the platform to safely rely on crowdsourced community input to ensure that the catalog's records, accessibility links, and descriptive details remain highly accurate and useful for all educators and students [2]. ## References [1] University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.

Another 2015 open-access textbook from University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under the same Creative Commons license is *Beginning Excel*, authored by Noreen Brown, Barbara Lave, Julie Romey, Mary Schatz, and Diane Shingledecker [1]. This 368-page workbook-style textbook targets introductory Excel courses within business administration, computer applications, and information technology degree or certificate programs, systematically covering spreadsheet fundamentals through advanced data analysis functions [1]. The specific license governing its use is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) [1]. The Open Textbook Library hosting platform provides explicit instructions for suggesting editorial improvements. Each textbook record includes a dedicated "Suggest a correction" hyperlink that redirects to a structured submission interface [2]. Users must furnish their email address, pinpoint exact page locations, articulate the nature of errors with specificity, and propose corrected text [2]. The platform aggregates these submissions and routes them to the publisher and authorial team for quality review and potential integration into subsequent editions [3]. For substantial modifications or adoptions requiring broader customization, users are instructed to contact University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing directly using the designated email address displayed on the textbook's landing page, with the platform noting that such contributions should align with the original educational purpose [3]. This dual-track system accommodates both minor corrections and major collaborative improvements while maintaining quality control [3]. ## References [1] Brown, N., Lave, B., Romey, J., Schatz, M., & Shingledecker, D.
