2. Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get. 
         
         From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

         The history of the automobile begins as early as 1769, with the creation of steam-powered automobiles capable of human transport.[1] In 1806, the first cars powered by internal combustion engines running on fuel gas appeared, which led to the introduction in 1885 of the ubiquitous modern gasoline- or petrol-fueled internal combustion engine. Cars powered by electricity briefly appeared at the turn of the 20th century but largely disappeared from commonality until the turn of the 21st century, when interest in low- and zero-emissions transportation was reignited. As such, the early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras based on the prevalent method of automotive propulsion during that time. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling and size and utility preferences.
        
        Pioneer inventors



German engineer Karl Benz, the inventor of numerous car-related technologies, is generally regarded as the inventor of the modern automobile. The four-stroke petrol (gasoline) internal combustion engine that constitutes the most prevalent form of modern automotive propulsion is a creation of German inventor Nikolaus Otto. The similar four-stroke diesel engine was also invented by a German, Rudolf Diesel. The hydrogen fuel cell, one of the technologies hailed as a replacement for gasoline as an energy source for cars, was discovered in principle by yet another German, Christian Friedrich Schönbein, in 1838. The battery electric car owes its beginnings to Hungarian Ányos Jedlik, one of the inventors of the electric motor, and Gaston Planté, who invented the lead-acid battery in 1859.



3. What is the difference between general book and reference book?
    
    Book reports and essays have more differences than similarities. Book reports cover the whole book. Essays focus on a particular aspect, be it a theme, tone, character, or scene from the book. Essays reference moments from the book directly, using quotes, to make their arguments. Book reports only give general plot points. Book reports may offer personal opinions, whereas essays usually give facts.


4. When do you need to search information from the reference collection?
    
     When I want to use about old  information againts. 


5. What type of reference collection that you like to use most? And why?
