Exploring Computer Science

We use random.org in our Exploring Computer Science during our Algorithms unit. We use the string generator to make random passwords to test to see how complexity and length changes the amount of time taken to ‘crack’ the password. We use the integer generator to try out One Time Pad Encryption and we also use the coin flipper during our discussions of true vs pseudo random discussions. They have been a great resource and supportive of our efforts for over a decade!

Demographic Study of a Bibliographic Database

I used Random.org in 2004 to create a sample of bibliographic records in OCLC WorldCat for a demographic study of that bibliographic database. The results were published in my article, ‘From the Ubiquitous to the Nonexistent: A Demographic Study of OCLC WorldCat,’ Library Resources & Technical Services 50 (2): 79-90, Spring 2006.

I have since taken two samples for further studies of WorldCat.
