Introduction to Criminal Law

Step 2

Suggest an Edit to a Book Record

Question

A 2015 open-access textbook on criminal law for undergraduate students was published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. Using that publisher as your filter, identify the information technology–focused book in the computer science field released by the same publisher. Provide its title, copyright year, license type, intended academic audience, and review count. In addition, explain the process offered by the hosting platform for suggesting corrections or additions to a book’s bibliographic record, including who should be contacted for content-related improvements and where to direct general questions.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist

Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology + Proof: Published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, same publisher as the 2015 criminal law textbook
Edit suggestion process + Proof: Platform provides a ‘Suggest an edit’ feature for book records and distinguishes between record edits, contacting the author/publisher for book improvements, and consulting the FAQ for questions

Width checklist

Correct title of the IT/computer science book published by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing
Copyright year of that book (2015)
License type (CC BY-NC-SA)
Intended audience (undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology)
Number of reviews listed (8 reviews)
Explanation that the platform welcomes suggestions to improve book records
Instruction that content improvement suggestions should be directed to the author or publisher
Instruction that general questions about a book should be directed to the platform’s FAQ

Examiner rationale

The question uses the shared publisher of the 2015 criminal law textbook as a logical filter (Deep reasoning) to identify a different, technology-focused book from the same publisher without naming it directly. It then requires aggregating multiple scattered bibliographic details (title, year, license, audience, reviews) and combining them with procedural information about how the hosting platform handles record edits (Wide aggregation). This ensures both entity identification and cross-page synthesis.

Judgment

Tie

BOTH

Score 0 - 0

First, Deep Logic: The correct book is *Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology* (2015, CC BY-NC-SA, 8 reviews). Agent A selected *Web Design and Development* (wrong title, year, audience, review count). Agent B selected *Information Systems for Business and Beyond* (wrong title, year, review count). Therefore, BOTH agents failed the core entity requirement (DEEP failure). Second, Width/Completeness: Because both chose the wrong book, their reported copyright year, review count, and audience are incorrect relative to the ground truth. While both addressed the correction/suggestion process and mentioned contacting authors/publishers and platform help resources, these correct fragments do not compensate for the incorrect main entity and associated metadata. Thus, both also fail WIDE aggregation. Since both responses contain significant hallucinations on the central entity and multiple required checklist items, this is a Low Quality Tie. Neither agent provides a reliable or accurate user experience despite reasonable formatting and structure.

Using University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing as the publisher filter, the information technology–focused computer science title is **Web Design and Development** [1]. Its bibliographic record lists **copyright year: 2017**, and the book is released under a **Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)** license [1][2]. The intended academic audience is **lower-division undergraduate students**, specifically for courses in web design/development and related information-technology instruction [1]. The Open Textbook Library record shows it has **1 review** [1]. For corrections or additions to the bibliographic record, the hosting platform (the Open Textbook Library) provides a **“Suggest a Correction”** option on the book page, allowing users to submit updates to metadata or record details directly through the site [1]. For improvements to the **book’s actual content**, the platform directs users to contact the **book’s authors or publisher** rather than the library catalog team [3]. For **general questions** about the Open Textbook Library or its records, users are directed to the Open Textbook Library contact channel via the **University of Minnesota Libraries/Open Textbook Library contact page**, which serves as the general inquiry point for platform-related matters [3]. ## References [1] Open Textbook Library, “Web Design and Development.” https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/web-design-and-development [2] Pressbooks/University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, “Web Design and Development.” https://pressbooks.umn.edu/webdesign/ [3] Open Textbook Library, “About/Contact/Feedback information.” https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/

The information technology–focused book in the computer science field from University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing is titled *Information Systems for Business and Beyond* [1]. The current edition carries a copyright year of 2019 and is published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA) license. It is intended for an undergraduate academic audience and has received 11 reviews on its hosting platform, the Open Textbook Library [1]. The Open Textbook Library (OTL) provides a clear process for suggesting corrections or additions. To report an error in a book's bibliographic record, such as an incorrect title, author, or license, individuals should use the general contact form found in the site's "Help" section. When submitting, one must specify where the error is located and what is wrong [2]. For content-related improvements, suggestions, or corrections within the book itself, the OTL staff are not the correct contacts. Their policy states that users should contact the author directly for any questions or feedback regarding the textbook's content. The OTL clarifies that it does not have a direct working relationship with the authors of the books in its collection. General questions about the Open Textbook Library or its services can also be directed through the same "Help" section contact form [2]. ## References [1] University of Minnesota.
