Introduction -
.
The ACA Open Knowledge Guide to Public Speaking
.
This E-textbook on public speaking is sponsored by the American
Communication Association and is made possible through the voluntary work
of many of its members. The book is free to all. Individuals, instructors,
and students can download modules (think chapters) and convert them to
hard copies as needed. The duplication and distribution of copies only
requires the usual documentation giving recognition to the source.
.
The first edition of this E-textbook on public speaking includes seven
modules. The launching of this text is just a start. With feedback from
our readership these modules will be revised and updated. Within the next
few months, new modules will be added.
.
Why publish an E-textbook? The main reason is that E-publishing is far
less expensivedramatically so. There are currently three basic ways to
deliver content. The first is the traditional way; that is, to print
multiple copies, store them in a warehouse, and then transport them to a
bookstore where they are stored once more until soldor returned. The
second, and most expensive way, also starts with printed copies, but then
these materials are processed yet again so that they can be placed on the
Internet. The third waythe method adopted for this textbookis to bypass
the printing press altogether and go directly to the Internet. The
Internet way requires the production of only one copy which can be stored
and transmitted to any computer on earth, as needed, and at virtually no
cost.
.
Let's take a look at just one example of how expensive it is to deliver
content via a traditional textbook. At the University of Nevada, Reno, the
book selected for the basic course in communication sells at our campus
bookstore for $92 (an amount that exceeds a full-day's income for many of
our working students). Ten sections of this class, with 25 students per
section, are offered each semester. If all 250 students buy a new book at
$92 each they will pay $23,000 per semester or $46,000 per year . . . not
counting summer school.
.
Used books sell for $65. But even if all 250 students per semester are
able to buy a used book, the cost would be $16,250 per semester and
$32,500 per academic year. New editions usually come out every third year
or so. When this occurs all students must bear the cost of a new book.
And, of course, a new edition precludes the ability of students to sell an
older one (planned obsolescence is very profitable for book companies, but
very expensive for students).
.
The Internet also provides the least expensive way to revise a book. For
example, when revising a print text, 90% of the material often remains the
same. Nevertheless, the entire book needs to be reproduced in order to
include the changes that apply to only 10% of the content. In contrast,
revisions of an E-text need only address the desired changes; all other
materials remain the same.

Boolean Logic and Research
http://textcommons.org/node/166
Boolean logic is a way of expanding or narrowing a search using the
connecting words of and or and not. For example, if you type Exxon into a
database, you may get 25,000 entries. When you type Exxon and marketing
you get only those articles that include both terms, thus reducing the
number of hits you receive and focusing your research more carefully.
Still, that could be awfully broad. What other words might narrow it
further? Thats the point of this next section. For now, stay with this
discussion a step further. The word and is assumed in most databases so
you dont have to type it in. If you type multiple terms into your Internet
search engine, you may notice the translated scrawl on the search term
line as it begins. It will often show you the terms with and (or the plus
mark) included. To use or or not you may have to go into an advanced
search for that database.
