Question

Two open-access textbooks published in 2015 by the same university-based publishing program—one serving as a foundational undergraduate text in criminal law and the other as a guide for Management Information Systems—share a common Creative Commons license. Identify these two books and compare the following: their intended academic audiences, their licensing terms, and any available ISBN information. Additionally, explain the standard process offered by the publisher for suggesting edits or improvements to a book’s catalog record.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Introduction to Criminal Law (2015) published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing + matches undergraduate criminal law description and ISBN 9781946135087
Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology (2015) published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing + matches MIS/IT course description
Both books share CC BY-NC-SA license and same university-based publisher in 2015

Width checklist

Criminal law textbook – intended for undergraduate (and possibly upper-division) students
Criminal law textbook – CC BY-NC-SA license
Criminal law textbook – ISBN 9781946135087
Information Systems textbook – intended for undergraduate and/or graduate MIS/IT courses
Information Systems textbook – CC BY-NC-SA license
Publisher’s process – welcomes suggestions to improve book records
Publisher’s process – advises contacting the author or publisher for content improvements
Publisher’s process – directs users to FAQ for book-related questions

Examiner rationale

The question uses publication year, licensing, subject area, and shared publisher to logically filter the correct pair of books (Deep reasoning). It then requires aggregating multiple details—audience, license, ISBN, and editorial suggestion procedures—from separate records (Wide aggregation). The entities are not named in the question, ensuring the respondent must identify them through cross-referencing publicly verifiable information.

Judgment

DEEP

Score 1 - 0

First, Deep Logic: Agent A correctly identifies *Criminal Law* and *Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology* (2015) from University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. Agent B incorrectly names *Information Systems for Business and Beyond*, which does not match the ground-truth title. Therefore, B fails the core entity check (DEEP failure). Second, Width/Completeness: Agent A correctly states shared CC BY-NC-SA licensing and appropriate undergraduate audiences. However, A provides an incorrect ISBN for *Criminal Law* (5071 instead of 5087) and omits the specific ISBN for the MIS book. The publisher-edit process is partially described but does not explicitly mention directing users to FAQs or contacting the author. Agent B also provides incorrect ISBNs and, due to the wrong book, fails multiple checklist items. Finally, User Experience: Agent A is clearly structured, uses bolding and section headers, and is easy to scan. Agent B is similarly formatted but undermined by the incorrect book identification. Since A gets the main entities correct and B fails Deep Logic, A wins despite minor detail errors.
