Instead of the patron coming to the library, a library employee, volunteer, or delivery service brings library materials directly to the person. Some people only need homebound services for a short amount of time, e.g., while recovering from an illness or surgery, while others like the elderly may be permanent homebound customers...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Read the entire document <a href="http://www.geocities.com/jeff.franczak@sbcglobal.net/HomeboundLibraryServices-Franczak.pdf"><span style="color:#3333ff;">here</span></a>.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3762297516776554354-4180930645895868655?l=j-writings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jeff franczakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08789239867703520047noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762297516776554354.post-35291504351768770302007-09-29T02:31:00.000-05:002007-09-29T02:32:40.029-05:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Topic:</strong> Data mining; discovering unknown patterns (rules) in large sets of data<br /><strong>For:</strong> Graduate Studies, Illinois Institute of Technology<br /><strong>Written:</strong> April 12, 2000<br /><br />“Fast Effective Rule Induction” is a study prepared by William Cohen of AT&amp;T Bell Laboratories that discusses a rule-learning algorithm specifically designed to compete with C4.5rules by offering competitive accuracy performance, while at the same time, running more efficiently.

I think I’ve got about 20% to go. In the process, I’ve rediscovered a few papers I’ve written during and since my graduate studies at the Illinois Institute of Technology. I’ll be posting them here as I have time. The topics range from Computer Science, to an overview of the book of Jonah, to library services.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3762297516776554354-6946955571326542631?l=j-writings.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jeff franczakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08789239867703520047noreply@blogger.com0
