Introduction to Criminal Law

Step 2

Computer Science Textbooks

Question

A 2015 open-access undergraduate criminal law textbook was published by a university-based libraries publishing program. Among the computer science or information technology titles released by that same publisher, identify the relevant book and describe its copyright year, license type, and intended academic audience or course use. Additionally, explain what mechanism the hosting platform provides for users who wish to propose corrections or additions to a book’s bibliographic record, including any guidance given about contacting authors or publishers.

Answer length: 200-300 words.

Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology + Same publisher (University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing) as the 2015 Introduction to Criminal Law textbook
Suggest an Edit to a Book Record page + Platform feature associated with the same publishing/catalog system that hosts the criminal law textbook

Width checklist

Correct identification of the Information Systems book
Copyright year (2015)
License type (CC BY-NC-SA)
Intended use in undergraduate and/or graduate courses in Management Information Systems and Information Technology
Description of the platform’s 'Suggest an Edit' feature
Explanation that users can propose edits or additional content to a record
Guidance that suggestions to improve a book’s content should be directed to the author or publisher
Mention of FAQ reference for book-related questions

Examiner rationale

The question uses the shared publisher of the 2015 criminal law textbook as a logical filter to identify the correct computer science title (Deep reasoning). It then requires aggregation of multiple factual elements about that book (year, license, audience) and combines this with a separate platform feature about editing book records (Wide aggregation), ensuring the respondent must synthesize details from more than one source.

Judgment

Much Better

BOTH

Score 0 - 2

First, Deep Logic: Agent A identified the wrong book (“Information Systems for Business and Beyond,” 2019, CC BY 4.0), which is not the correct title tied to the same publisher and year. Agent B correctly identified *Information Systems: A Manager’s Guide to Harnessing Technology* (2015, CC BY-NC-SA) from the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing Program. Thus, Agent A fails the core entity check. Width/Completeness: Agent B correctly states the copyright year (2015), license type (CC BY-NC-SA), and intended academic use (introductory MIS courses at the undergraduate level). Agent B also accurately describes the platform’s correction/reporting feature and distinguishes between metadata corrections and content-level changes that should be directed to the author or publisher. Agent A provides incorrect bibliographic details (wrong year, wrong license) and mischaracterizes the correction guidance (stating users should not contact authors directly), failing multiple checklist items. Presentation & UX: Both are reasonably structured, but Agent B provides richer contextual grounding and clearer explanations tied to the specific publisher and platform. Even if Agent B does not explicitly mention the FAQ page, it captures the functional distinction required. Because Agent A fails both Deep and Wide criteria while Agent B satisfies the core requirements accurately and comprehensively, Agent B is MUCH BETTER.

The same publisher that issued the 2015 open-access textbook “Criminal Law” for undergraduates also released the computer-science title “Information Systems for Business and Beyond.” This book is copyrighted 2019, carries a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, and is written for introductory undergraduate information systems or MIS courses commonly offered in business or IT programs [1][2]. The hosting platform—University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing’s Open Textbook Library—places a “Report a correction” link in every book record. Clicking it opens a short Google Form where users can describe needed corrections or supply additional bibliographic information. The form instructs users not to contact the author or publisher directly; instead, the Open Textbook Library will review submissions and, when appropriate, relay them to the author or publisher or amend the catalog record itself. The guidance emphasizes that the Library acts as an intermediary to keep authors from receiving duplicative or unvetted messages while ensuring record accuracy and quality control [3]. ## References [1] Open Textbook Library. “Information Systems for Business and Beyond.” https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/textbooks/ information-systems-for-business-and-beyond [2] Copyright page within the PDF of “Information Systems for Business and Beyond.” [3] Open Textbook Library. “Report a correction” form linked from each book record (accessed 10 Apr 2026).

The 2015 open-access undergraduate criminal law textbook is *Criminal Law* by Jordan Berns, published through the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing Program (also known as the Open Textbook Library, hosted by the University of Minnesota's Center for Open Education) [1]. This publisher has released several open textbooks across disciplines. Among the computer science or information technology titles published by the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing Program, the relevant book is *Information Systems: A Manager's Guide to Harnessing Technology* by John Gallaugher [2]. This textbook has a copyright year of 2015, is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA) license, and is intended for use in introductory Management Information Systems (MIS) courses, typically at the undergraduate level. It covers topics such as technology infrastructure, software, networking, data analytics, and the strategic role of information systems in business — making it suitable for business students studying IT fundamentals rather than purely computer science majors [2][3]. Regarding the mechanism for proposing corrections or additions to a book's bibliographic record on the Open Textbook Library platform: the platform provides a "Suggest a Correction" or "Report an Error" feature on each textbook's catalog page [4]. Users who identify inaccuracies in the bibliographic metadata — such as incorrect author names, publication dates, or license information — can submit corrections through this reporting tool. The platform also provides guidance noting that for content-level corrections or additions (as opposed to catalog record errors), users should contact the author or publisher directly, as the Open Textbook Library hosts metadata and reviews but does not typically control the underlying content of the textbooks themselves [4]. This distinction ensures that substantive editorial changes are routed appropriately to the content creators. ## References [1] University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing. *Criminal Law*.
