Criminal Law (2015) published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under CC BY-NC-SA + identified as an introductory undergraduate criminal law text
Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology (2015) published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under CC BY-NC-SA + identified as intended for undergraduate/graduate MIS or IT courses
Recognition that the edit-suggestion guidance refers to the platform’s book record improvement process, directing users to submit record edits and contact the author or publisher for substantive book changes

Width checklist

Criminal Law textbook – publication year (2015)
Criminal Law textbook – CC BY-NC-SA license
Criminal Law textbook – publisher (University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing)
Criminal Law textbook – intended undergraduate audience/use
Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology – publication year (2015)
Information Systems textbook – CC BY-NC-SA license
Information Systems textbook – publisher (University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing)
Information Systems textbook – intended use in undergraduate and/or graduate MIS/IT courses
Description of the platform’s 'Suggest an Edit' process
Instruction to contact the author or publisher for book improvement suggestions

Examiner rationale

The question uses publication year, publisher, and license as filtering logic (Deep) to identify the correct two textbooks without naming them outright in the prompt. It then requires aggregation of multiple attributes—audience, licensing, publisher details, and platform edit procedures—across both books and the hosting platform’s guidance (Wide), ensuring the respondent must synthesize information from multiple sources.

Score 2 - 0

First, Deep Logic: Agent A correctly identified *Criminal Law* (2015) and *Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology* (2015), both published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under CC BY-NC-SA. Agent B correctly identified *Criminal Law* but substituted a different textbook (*Information Systems for Business and Beyond*) instead of the specified *A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology*, failing the core entity requirement. Second, Width/Completeness: Agent A covered publication year, license, publisher, intended undergraduate/MIS audience, and clearly described the Open Textbook Library’s edit-suggestion process, including contacting the author or publisher for content changes. Agent B’s process description was also acceptable, but because the second book was incorrect, it fails the completeness requirement tied to the correct entity. Finally, Presentation & UX: Both are readable and well-structured, but since Agent B selected the wrong textbook, accuracy overrides stylistic parity. Agent A satisfies both Depth and Width requirements without hallucination. Therefore, Agent A is MUCH BETTER due to Agent B’s DEEP entity failure.

The open-access textbook *Criminal Law* (2015) was published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA) license. Its primary academic audience consists of students enrolled in undergraduate criminal justice programs, pre-law tracks, or introductory law school courses [1]. The text is comprehensively structured to provide foundational knowledge regarding statutory interpretation, the elements of criminal liability, and standard legal defenses, making it an ideal core resource for foundational criminal law curricula [1]. The second open-access textbook, *Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology* (2015), was published under the identical CC BY-NC-SA license by the same publisher [2]. This book's intended course use is for undergraduate business administration and MBA-level introductory information systems courses [2]. It is specifically tailored for future business leaders, focusing on how organizations can strategically leverage digital technologies, software ecosystems, and data analytics to achieve a competitive business advantage. These texts are cataloged by the Open Textbook Library, a comprehensive repository operated by the Open Education Network at the University of Minnesota. If a user discovers an issue and wishes to suggest corrections or edits to a book’s bibliographic record—such as fixing inaccurate metadata, updating broken links, or noting new editions—the platform's standard process requires them to contact the library's administrative support team directly via email [3]. However, because the Open Textbook Library functions primarily as a referatory catalog rather than an editorial publisher, it does not alter the actual textbook files. For any content-related improvements, textual errata, or factual revisions within the books themselves, the platform explicitly directs users to contact the original author or the specific source publisher responsible for maintaining the manuscript [3]. ## References [1] University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.

Criminal Law is an open textbook authored by Lisa M. Storm and published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing in 2015 under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.[1] It is written for introductory undergraduate or early law-related courses in criminal law, especially in criminal justice, pre-law, and related social science programs. The text is structured to match a typical one-semester criminal law course, covering elements of crimes, defenses, and the criminal justice process, and is intended for use in survey courses or as a primary text in lower-division criminal law classes.[1] Information Systems for Business and Beyond by David T. Bourgeois (with later contributors) is likewise a 2015 University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing open textbook under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.[2] Its primary academic audience is undergraduate students in introductory Management Information Systems (MIS) or Information Systems courses in business schools or related programs. It is designed for a one-semester “Information Systems for Business” or “Introduction to MIS” course, emphasizing how information systems support business processes, decision-making, and strategy.[2] For suggesting corrections or edits to a book’s bibliographic record on the University of Minnesota’s open textbook platform (Open Textbook Library / U of M Libraries Publishing), users are typically directed to contact the library or publishing staff listed on the site, often via a general contact email or form (e.g., open@umn.edu or a “Contact Us” link).[3] For content-related improvements (errata, updates, pedagogical enhancements), the site instructs users to reach out directly to the author(s) or publisher contact indicated on the book’s record page.[3] ## References [1] University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. “Criminal Law” (2015).
