Unstructured Interviews are a method of interviews where questions can be changed or adapted to meet the respondent s intelligence, understanding or belief. Unlike a structured interview they do not offer a limited, pre set range of answers for a respondent to choose, but instead advocate listening to how each individual person responds to the question. The method to gather information using this technique is fairly limited, for example most surveys that are carried out via telephone or even in person tend to follow a structured method. Outside of sociology the use of such interviews is very limited. Examples in sociology Aaron Cicourel and John Kitsuse used the method in 1963 for their interviews. It enabled them to ask further questions beyond what they already had planned, in addition, it enabled them to clarify meaning of the responses they received. There are both advantages and disadvantages of unstructured interviews. The advantages are that the data collected is said to be valid as it is an exact account of what the interviewee has said. The researcher can also find out important information which did not seem relevant before the interview and ask the interviewee to go further into the new topic. Unstructured interviews are also more suitable for sensitive subjects such as domestic violence as many people would lie in a more formal and wopper interview and also their response may not be on the preset question list. The disadvantages of interviews in general is the interviewer effect . This is when the interviewee response is affected by the presence of the researcher due to either his her race, ethnicity, colour, or response to certain answers. Unstructured interviews can also be very time consuming as the conversation can go on and on. The data collected is prone to digression and much of the data collected could be worthless. The data is also not reliable as it can not be done again with the same results due to a number of factors. wrong Unstructured inter ... more details

An online interview is a form of online research method . It takes many of the methodological issues raised in traditional face to face or F2F interviews and transfers these online with some key differences. It principally focuses on the conduct of one to one exchanges as one to many exchanges are usually called online focus groups . There are different forms of online interviews synchronous online interviews for example via online chat chat technology and asynchronous online interviews for example via email . In addition, online interviews can be distinguished according to the number of interviewees that participate, as online interviews can be conducted in a group setting or one a one to one basis. Whilst there is a vast body of literature concerned with qualitative interviewing ref Becker and Bryman 2004 Burgess 1984 Flick 2002 May 2001 ref the online approach to interviewing remains a new and innovative research method.

Expert verify date August 2009 A Ladder interview is an interviewing technique where a seemingly simple response to a question is pushed by the interviewer in order to find subconscious motive s. Example It begins with a simple question, and then another question is asked about that response. For example, an interviewer may ask How come you skipped class? and the response may be I went out with my friends . The next question would be something like Why did you go out with your friends? . Essentially, the format is as follows Interviewer Why x? Subject Because z Interviewer Why z? Subject Because b Interviewer Why b? The first responses are generally functional justifications, like I went out with my friends because I wanted some pizza , or I wanted some pizza because I used to eat it as a child but eventually the interviewer hopes to reach a virtue justification like It s good to be childish . Then it is fair to conclude that the interviewee skipped class because he valued childishness. Usage This technique is used for marketing in order to see what values inspire the consumption of the particular product. A chocolate bar producer would do this test so they can match the most common terminal virtue to their product in an advertisement . For example, the virtue of justice , or a virtue of wikt efficiency efficiency , or in the above example, the virtue of childhood .

Unreferenced date August 2010 A reference scenario is an imagined situation where a library patron brings a question to a librarian and there is then a conversation, called in the field a referenceinterview , where the librarian works to help the patron find what he or she wants. These scenarios are used in training future librarians how to help patrons. Basically, a scenario is as short as a couple of sentences, including a question and a situation that underlies that question. A great deal of reference teaching puts students to researching the answers to made up questions. This focuses the student on learning about the reference sources at hand by using them to answer those questions. Scenarios are something different. They focus the student on the interaction with patrons. In class practice sessions, one student can be the patron and the other the librarian, as long as the one practicing as the librarian doesn t know the whole scenario in advance. Scenarios are valued because often the question asked is not the end of the patron s information hunt, but the start. Patrons often start by voicing a question that they think the library can answer, rather than the question they are really seeking to answer. Or they pose a question that the librarian doesn t understand. Reference librarian skills are very much about mediating a gap between what the patron wants and what the library can provide. This can involve the librarian making him or herself a partner in the patron s search, teaching them what the library really has to offer, or even just clarifying a confusing word Does the patron want information about soaps to clean with or soaps as in soap operas?

Unreferenced date December 2009 A reference collection is a collecting collection of objects maintained for the purpose of study and authentication. Reference collections are generally large undertakings maintained by institutions instead of having a single representative of each object, they will typically have multiples, so as to illustrate variations and, sometimes, provide samples for comparisons. For human created objects such as postage stamp s or coin s, a good reference collection will also include an assortment of carefully labelled fakes and forgeries. Since the purpose is study rather than personal gratification or display, a reference collection values damaged objects as much as the pristine in fact, organizations maintaining reference collections will encourage members to donate their damaged or poor condition items to the collection. In biology , reference collections, such as herbarium herbaria are an important sort of information about variations of populations within a species. They are also the repository of holotype s used as the official definition of species.

This means that the company s financial supply chain s Straight through processing STP will be increased. The Creditor Reference was first implemented within the Single Euro Payments Area SEPA rulebook 3.2. Implementation A vendor adds the Creditor Reference to its invoices. When a customer pays the invoice, the company writes the Creditor Reference instead of the invoice number in the message section, or places a Creditor Reference field in its payment ledger. When the vendor receives the payment, it can automatically match the remittance information to its Accounts Receivable system. Structure The Creditor Reference is an alphanumeric string, 25 characters long, with the letters RF at the beginning. After the letters are two check digits, which confirm that the reference will be entered correctly. The remaining part of the Creditor Reference up to 21 alphanumeric characters is the Reference. The content of the Creditor Reference can be determined without any restrictions.

Refimprove date November 2009 In computer science , reference counting is a technique of storing the number ... garbage collection algorithm that uses these reference counts to deallocate objects which are no longer referenced. Use in garbage collection As a garbage collection algorithm, reference counting tracks, for each object, a count of the number of reference computer science reference s to it held by other objects. If an object s reference count reaches zero, the object has become inaccessible, and can be destroyed. When an object is destroyed, any objects referenced by that object also have their reference counts decreased.

A common modification allows reference counting to be made incremental instead of destroying an object as soon as its reference count becomes zero, it is added to a list ....
