Question

Identify the open-source Criminal Law textbook that was criticized in a user review for featuring a "bizarre" photo of a Dodge Charger with a Police Package in Chapter 1, and for using a "lazy" citation format for the case *BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore*. After locating this book and identifying its publisher, find a second textbook released by this same publisher in 2015 that is explicitly described as being intended for "undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology." Provide the full titles and the specific Creative Commons license types (e.g., CC BY, CC BY-NC-SA) for both textbooks.

Answer length: 150-250 words.

Examiner rationale

The question requires Deep Reasoning to identify the first entity ('Introduction to Criminal Law') by filtering through specific, qualitative feedback found in user reviews (the Dodge Charger and BMW citation comments) rather than searching by title. It then requires Wide Aggregation to pivot using the 'Publisher' attribute to find a second, distinct entity ('Information Systems') based on its specific course suitability description, ensuring the agent aggregates information across the publisher's catalog (or the provided hidden list) to retrieve the license details for both.

Judgment

Tie

BOTH

Score 0 - 0

Both agents correctly identified the first textbook ('Criminal Law') and its license based on the user review details. However, both agents failed the deep logic required to identify the second textbook. They both selected 'Information Systems for Business and Beyond' (CC BY), whereas the specific course description quoted in the prompt ('undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology') corresponds to 'Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology' (CC BY-NC-SA). Since both agents hallucinated that the Bourgeois book matched the description and missed the correct entity entirely, it is a Low Quality Tie.

The open-source textbook criticized for its "bizarre" photo of a Dodge Charger with a Police Package in Chapter 1 and a "lazy" citation format for *BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore* is titled *Criminal Law* [1]. The user review specifically notes these details, linking the citation issue to a simple Wikipedia link for the landmark case [1]. This book was published through the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing division and is part of their open textbook initiative [2]. Its full title is **Criminal Law**, and it is available under a **Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)** license [2]. A second textbook from the same publisher, University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, released in 2015 and explicitly intended for "undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology," is **Information Systems for Business and Beyond** [3]. This book was designed to introduce fundamental concepts of information systems to students in those specific fields. The full text is available under a **Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)** license, making it more permissive than the criminal law text [3]. ## References [1] Shultz, E.

The criticized open-source criminal law textbook is **“Criminal Law” by Lisa M. Storm**, published by **University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing** (also distributed via the Open Textbook Library). A user review objects to a “bizarre” photo of a Dodge Charger with a Police Package in Chapter 1 and notes a “lazy” citation format for *BMW of North America, Inc. v. Gore*.[1] This textbook is released under a **Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)** license.[1] From the same publisher in 2015, the second textbook matching the description is **“Information Systems for Business and Beyond” by David T. Bourgeois (2014, updated 2015 edition through University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing / Open Textbook Library)**, which is explicitly intended for “undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology.”[2] This book is licensed under **Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY)**.[2] Thus: 1. **Criminal Law** – University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, **CC BY-NC-SA**. 2. **Information Systems for Business and Beyond** – same publisher, **CC BY**. ## References [1] Open Textbook Library – *Criminal Law* (Lisa M. Storm), user reviews and license information. [2] Open Textbook Library – *Information Systems for Business and Beyond* (David T. Bourgeois), description and license details.
