The digital music revolution and the rise of piracy cultures has
transformed the music world as we knew it. Digital Music
Distribution aims to go beyond the polarized and reductive
perception of 'piracy wars' to offer a broader and richer
understanding of the paradoxes inherent in new forms of
distribution. Covering both production and consumption
perspectives, Spilker analyses the changes and regulatory issues
through original case studies, looking at how digital music
distribution has both changed and been changed by the cultural
practices and politicking of ordinary youth, their parents, music
counter cultures, artists and bands, record companies, technology
developers, mass media and regulatory authorities. Exploring the
fundamental change in distribution, Spilker investigates paradoxes
such as: The criminalization of file-sharing leading not to
conflicts, but to increased collaboration between youths and their
parents; Why the circulation of cultural content, extremely
damaging for its producers, has instead been advantageous for the
manufacturers of recording equipment; Why more artists are
recording in professional sound studios, despite the proliferation
of good quality equipment for home recording; Why mass media, hit
by many of the same challenges as the music industry, has been so
critical of the way it has tackled these challenges. A rare and
timely volume looking at the changes induced by the digitalization
of music distribution, Digital Music Distribution will appeal to
undergraduate students and policy makers interested in fields such
as Media Studies, Digital Media, Music Business, Sociology and
Cultural Studies.

Online Searching puts aspiring librarians on the fast track to
becoming expert searchers who unite users with trusted sources of
information that satisfy their information needs. To unite users
with such sources, master this seven-step online searching process:
1. Determining what the user really wants in the reference
interview 2. Identifying sources that are likely to produce
relevant information for the user's query 3. Determining whether
the user seeks a known item or subject 4. Dividing the query into
big ideas and combining them logically 5. Representing the query as
input to the search system 6. Conducting the search and responding
strategically 7. Displaying retrievals, assessing them, and
responding tactically This second edition addresses the
implications of new technical advances that affect expert
intermediary searchers such as the library's "everything" search,
the choice between classic and discovery OPACs, and the role of
digital object identifiers (DOIs) and Open Researcher and
Contributor IDs (ORCIDs) in known-item searching. It also advises
expert searchers about how today's hot-button issues such as social
media, fake news, and truth in the post-truth area figure into the
searches they conduct for others and what they teach library users
about online searching. Online Searching contains numerous figures
and sample searches to illustrate complex concepts, questions and
answers to reinforce key ideas, a sample database to show how
online searching works, a technical reading to familiarize yourself
with new search systems and databases, and a glossary to facilitate
quick look-ups. The e-book features enhanced video content. Online
Searching is your go-to guidebook for becoming an expert searcher.

impact of creating a digital immortal.
Nine revolutionary algorithms that power our computers and
smartphones Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable
feats. A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles
from the world's biggest haystack. Uploading a photo to Facebook
transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous
error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo
arrives intact. Without even knowing it, we use public-key
cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card
numbers, and we use digital signatures to verify the identity of
the websites we visit. How do our computers perform these tasks
with such ease? John MacCormick answers this question in language
anyone can understand, using vivid examples to explain the
fundamental tricks behind nine computer algorithms that power our
PCs, tablets, and smartphones.
Search is as old as language. We've always needed to find something
in the jumble of human creation. The first web was nothing more
than passing verbal histories down the generations so others could
find and remember how not to get eaten; the first search used the
power of written language to build simple indexes in printed books,
leading to the Dewey Decimal system and reverse indices in more
modern times. Then digital happened. Besides having profound
societal impacts, it also made the act of searching almost
impossibly complex for both engines and searchers. Information
isn't just words; it is pictures, videos, thoughts tagged with
geocode data, routes, physical world data, and, increasingly, the
machines themselves reporting their condition and listening to
others'. Search: How the Data Explosion Makes Us Smarter holds up a
mirror to our time to see if search can keep up. Author Stefan
Weitz explores the idea of access to help readers understand how we
are inventing new ways to search and access data through devices in
more places and with more capabilities. We are at the cusp of
imbuing our generation with superpowers, but only if we
fundamentally rethink what search is, how people can use it, and
what we should demand of it. "Search: How The Data Explosion Makes
Us Smarter" is the first title from GreenHouse Collection. Created
by the founders of Insight Labs, the world's first philanthropic
think tank, GreenHouse Collection features books that encourage
deeper exploration and inquiry to inform new models for social
good.

Microservices architecture (MSA) is increasingly popular with
software architects and engineers as it accelerates software
solution design, development, and deployment in a risk-free manner.
Placing a software system into a production environment is
elegantly simplified and sped up with the use of MSA development
platforms, runtime environments, acceleration engines, design
patterns, integrated frameworks, and related tools. The MSA
ecosystem is expanding with third-party products that automate as
many tasks as possible. MSA is being positioned as the
enterprise-grade and agile-application design method. This book
covers in-depth the features and facilities that make up the MSA
ecosystem. Beginning with an overview of Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) that covers the Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM),
and Remote Method Invocation (RMI), the book explains the basic
essentials of MSA and the continuous delivery of applications to
customers. The book gives software developers insight into: Current
and emerging communication models Key architectural elements of
MSA-based applications Designing efficient APIs for microservices
MSA middleware platforms such as REST, SOAP, Apache Thrift, and
gRPC Microservice discovery and the API gateway Service
orchestration and choreography for composing individual services to
achieve a useful business process Database transactions in
MSA-centric applications Design, composition, security, and
deployment patterns MSA security Modernizing legacy applications
The book concludes with a chapter on composing and building
powerful microservices. With the exponential growth of IoT devices,
microservices are being developed and deployed on
resource-constrained but resource-intensive devices in order to
provide people-centric applications. The book discusses the
challenges of these applications. Finally, the book looks at the
role of microservices in smart environments and upcoming trends
including ubiquitous yet disappearing microservices.

Recipient of the SJSU San Jose State University Annual Author &
Artist Awards 2019 In modern times, all individuals need to be
knowledgeable about cybersecurity. They must have practical skills
and abilities to protect themselves in cyberspace. What is the
level of awareness among college students and faculty, who
represent the most technologically active portion of the population
in any society? According to the Federal Trade Commission's 2016
Consumer Sentinel Network report, 19 percent of identity theft
complaints came from people under the age of 29. About 74,400 young
adults fell victim to identity theft in 2016. This book reports the
results of several studies that investigate student and faculty
awareness and attitudes toward cybersecurity and the resulting
risks. It proposes a plan of action that can help 26,000 higher
education institutions worldwide with over 207 million college
students, create security policies and educational programs that
improve security awareness and protection. Features Offers an
understanding of the state of privacy awareness Includes the state
of identity theft awareness Covers mobile phone protection
Discusses ransomware protection Discloses a plan of action to
improve security awareness
DESCRIPTION Modern applications are constantly sending, receiving,
and reacting to streams of data including internal messages, user
and system events, and sensor input. Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a
.NET library that abstracts away the sources of events and provides
tools to effectively manage concerns like concurrency, scalability,
error handling, and performance. Rx includes more than 600
operators with variants that can composed together to build
reactive client and server-side applications that handle events
asynchronously in a way that maximizes responsiveness, resiliency,
and elasticity. Reactive Extensions in .NET is a step-by-step guide
that shows developers how to build event-driven applications using
the Rx library. First, it provides an overview of the design and
architecture of Rx-based reactive applications. Then, it looks at
the rich query capabilities that Rx provides and the Rx concurrency
model that allows developers to control asynchronicity of code and
processing of event handlers. The book also discusses consuming
event streams, using schedulers to manage time, and working with Rx
operators to filter, transform, and group events. Readers new to Rx
will be able to learn from the ground up and those using Rx will
get a deeper look at how to leverage Rx in existing reactive
applications. KEY FEATURES * Step-by-step guide * Real life
examples using Rx * Great for readers both new to Rx and those
already using Rx AUDIENCE Readers should understand OOP concepts
and be comfortable coding in C#. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Reactive
