Assignment 4 (reflection)

Again, this is pair work. so, as usual me and my partner cooperated together to do our work. For this time, we were assigned to do report and literature review on the problems faced by original and licensing software in Malaysia. we did some research on this topic.
We took the articles from two UKM database, 1 books.goolge.com and 1 google scholar as mentioned in course proforma.

UKM database
we need to search two journal articles from UKM online library  . It contains a lot of useful articles for the students as to be used as references. Not all people can log in into this library as the user need to enter the username and the password first. so, we log in into http://www.ukm.my/library/ with username and password  given by Dr. Siti Fatimah, our course coordinator. 

google scholar
easy as abc, we just search for the items needed and start reading and processing the information from the articles. we just type the URL for google scholar which is http://scholar.google.com.my/ to get started. 


books.google.com
there are a lot of books in here. we find some very useful for our research. there are a lot of other fields of books that one can use as source of  references. we can get free full preview books without any charge added. to preview and save the books, we have to sign in with our google account first.

Then, after doing the research by digging up some articles and books, we have to end up our research by writing a report in Open Office Writer software.
Open office software is just like microsoft office but comes with more features in it. As we have a little knowledge on technology especially in relation with software,
we did ask our coursemates on certain things that couldn't fix well our knowledge and thinking. Burning the midnight oil with my other friends in order to finish this assignment was mesmerizing, yet stressing. however, we manage to do and upload the file in yahoo group by early in the morning. ^^
before, when i do my assignments, I never look up the articles our journal article or books from the google scholar and books.google. In fact, I never know about the presence of this google scholar and books before. poor me ~ but now, I can make use of both this website as my reference for my study later.

To wrap up, this task is not an easy task at all as it needs us to put more effort and hard working instead of team spirit. However, it brings us a lot information and knowledge . tq~
