I am starting module 5 today, although I noticed they have given us a few weeks to complete it, and no wonder it isn't making a whole lot of sense to me at the moment. I guess the more I read the more it will fall into place.
Vocabularies, whether controlled or uncontrolled, are also known as indexing languages.
Derived indexing takes words from the document.
Assigned indexing takes words from somewhere else and assigns them to the document.
Subject approaches
The controlled vocabulary approach is where a specific word or phrase is selected to denote a certain subject.

Finished....yay
I have just typed the last word in my assignment.
I don't have to hand it in for another 6 days so I'm just going to set it aside until the weekend and then look over it again to determine if I want to make any adjustments.
I'm only after a pass and hopefully this will just scrape through.
Back to work tomorrow and feeling good not to have this hanging over my head.

500 words to go!!!
I think I am actually getting this bibliographic description stuff.
I have spent the morning editing the work I did yesterday and adding more information to my assignment and now I only have 500 words left to go. I haven't added any examples to part B yet so I should use up those words quickly.
If only I could think of some examples...................hence the procrastination and writing this blog.
I cannot praise the lecturing staff at CSU highly enough. Once I got over my fear that I knew nothing I phoned Ashley my lecturer for this subject and spoke to him emphasizing that I knew nothing.
Well turns out I did know what I was talking about. Go figure.
With some well placed questions from Ashley I was able to figure out some other stuff with the assignment. He actually didn't have to tell me the answers I was able to work through the process with him guiding me.
How great is that?

Every time I have phoned or skyped any of the lecturers they have been really generous with their time and knowledge and sent me happily on my way.
Thankyou CSU. Hopefully now I will complete this assignment to the satisfaction of the markers to ensure that I pass.

Dragons come out winners!!!
Looks like I am cooking a mars bar slice.
The mighty roosters went down to the dragons.
Oh well just another way I can avoid doing this damn assignment.

HELP!!!
Today I have a sick son so I am at home with him and he is asleep!!!
Unfortunately we had planned an afternoon at the footy watching the roosters play. I was quite looking forward to it as it is ages since we have done anything as a family. It was also going to provide another excuse for me to avoid my 505 assignment.
Oh well it was not to be.
Hopefully Roosters will win. If they do an AP at school has to wear a rooster jumper to the athletics carnival. If the dragons win I have to make him a mars bar slice.....I really do love being back in the state system.
I have been sitting here for most of the day reading my course notes/textbook/websites and I still have no clue what to do.
I have written 200 words out of 2000 and I think I have said everything that I know, and most of that is from the text book. Hopefully I won't get done for plagiarism.
I have also been emailing the gorgeous Fiona who has tried to help me. She says she is just as confused as I am but I think she has a better grip on it all than me. Thanks Fiona.
Oh well enough procrastinating and back to the assignment.

Sinking to the bottom of 505..............FAST.
After the chat room last night for ETL505 I thought that things would be clearer. Unfortunately I am not in this favorable position.
Today I have cut and pasted all of the helpful comments from last nights chat in the vague hope that it will all begin to make sense.
I have also gone through the forum and done the same thing.
After the chat last night it appears that only a handful of people really understand what is going on in this subject.
I take my hat off to John because he seems to be on the right track. Just wish I had his email to send a message to him in the hope that he might be able to shed some light on it for me.
The problem is that I don't really know what questions to ask the lecturers so that they can help, because they are really great and very quick to respond to an SOS.
Oh well I will work on it this weekend and see if it gets any better.
