Introduction to Criminal Law

Step 2

Computer Science Textbooks

Question

A widely used introductory criminal law textbook was published in 2015 by a Midwestern university libraries publishing program under a CC BY-NC-SA license. Focusing on books from the computing and information technology domain that share the same publisher, year (2015), and Creative Commons license as that criminal law text, identify the relevant title and describe its intended academic audience and subject focus. Additionally, explain the publicly stated process for suggesting edits or additional content to a book record on that publishing platform, including where users are directed if they want to improve a book itself or have questions about a title.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Depth checklist

Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology + Proof: Published in 2015 by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing under CC BY-NC-SA, matching the same publisher, year, and license as the referenced 2015 criminal law textbook
Suggest an Edit to a Book Record page/process + Proof: Public instructions describing how to recommend edits, contact authors/publishers for book improvements, and consult the FAQ for questions

Width checklist

Correct identification of the 2015 computing/information systems title published by the same university libraries publishing program
Statement that the book is intended for undergraduate and/or graduate courses
Description that the subject focus is Management Information Systems and Information Technology
Identification of the CC BY-NC-SA license
Explanation that users can submit suggestions to improve a book record via a dedicated edit/suggestion process
Clarification that suggestions to improve the book itself should be directed to the author or publisher
Mention that book-related questions should be directed to the platform’s FAQ

Examiner rationale

The question uses the shared publisher, year (2015), and CC BY-NC-SA license of the criminal law textbook as a logical filter (Deep reasoning) to identify a specific computing-related book without naming it. It then requires aggregating details about that book’s audience and scope, as well as separate procedural information about how to suggest edits to book records (Wide aggregation), ensuring the respondent must consult multiple distinct sources.

Score 0 - 1

First, Deep Logic: The expected title per the checklist is “Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology” (2015, University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, CC BY-NC-SA). Agent B identifies “Information Systems” (linked to the correct Open Textbook Library record), which aligns with the intended entity. Agent A instead names “Information Systems for Business and Beyond,” which—although a real UMN 2015 CC BY-NC-SA title—is not the specific book indicated in the checklist. Therefore, Agent A fails the Core Entity check (DEEP failure), while Agent B passes. Second, Width/Completeness: Both agents correctly describe the academic audience (introductory undergraduate MIS/business students), subject focus (management information systems / organizational IT use), license (CC BY-NC-SA), and the record-editing process (use a correction/suggestion form; contact author/publisher for improving the book itself). However, neither explicitly mentions directing general book-related questions to the platform’s FAQ, so both are slightly incomplete on that sub-point. Finally, User Experience: Both are clearly written and well structured, but Agent B is more precise in matching the required entity and cleanly organizes the workflow distinction (record edits vs. improving the book vs. title-specific questions). Because Agent A fails the Deep Logic requirement while Agent B identifies the correct book, Agent B is the clear winner.

The computing and information technology book that matches the same publisher (Midwestern university libraries publishing program), year (2015), and CC BY‑NC‑SA license as the introductory criminal law text is **“Information Systems for Business and Beyond”** by David T. Bourgeois, published by the **University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing** in 2015 under a **CC BY‑NC‑SA 4.0** license.[1][2] Its intended academic audience is **undergraduate students in business, management, and related programs** taking an introductory **management information systems (MIS) or information systems** course. The subject focus is on how information systems are used in organizations, covering hardware, software, data, networking, security, and the strategic role of IT in business, including implications for managers rather than technical specialists.[1][2] The publishing platform’s public guidance for improving book records explains that users who notice missing or incorrect metadata (for example, catalog information) can use the **“Report a problem”** or feedback link associated with the record to suggest edits or additional information, which are then reviewed by library or publishing staff.[3] However, if a user wants to **improve the book itself** (such as updating content, correcting errors in the text, or adapting material), or if they have **questions about a particular title**, they are directed to contact the **original publisher or author**—for University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing, this is via the contact information provided on the book’s page or the publishing program’s main contact page.[3][4] ## References [1] https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/information-systems-for-business-and-beyond [2] https://conservancy.umn.edu/handle/11299/194493 [3] https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/terms [4] https://www.lib.umn.edu/publishing

The criminal law book is **Criminal Law**, published in **2015** by the **University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing** program under **CC BY-NC-SA**.[1] Looking within the same publisher, year, and license for a computing/information-technology title, the relevant match is **Information Systems**, also published in **2015** under **CC BY-NC-SA** by University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.[2] Its stated audience is students in an **introductory information systems course required for business majors**; the book is designed to explain how information systems support organizations and management rather than to serve as a highly technical computer science text.[2] Its subject focus is the broad field of **information systems**, including the role of hardware, software, data, networking, business processes, organizational strategy, and the managerial use of technology.[2] In other words, it sits at the intersection of computing and business, introducing core IT concepts in an applied organizational context.[2] For changes to a book record on the publishing platform, the public instruction appears in the **“Suggest a correction”** area. Users are told that **to suggest changes to the information about a book, they should use the feedback form available from the book’s record page**.[3] The platform then distinguishes metadata corrections from improving the book itself: **if users want to make the book better, they should contact the book’s author(s)**.[3] It also separately notes that **questions about a specific title should be directed to the publisher**.[3] Thus, the platform channels record edits through a form, content-improvement ideas to authors, and title-specific questions to the publisher.[3] ## References [1] Open Textbook Library, “Criminal Law.” https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/criminal-law [2] Open Textbook Library, “Information Systems.” https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/information-systems [3] Open Textbook Library, “Suggest a correction” / record-page guidance on corrections, improving a book, and questions about a title. https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/
