Information Retrieval has become a very active research field in
the 21st century. Many from academia and industry present their
innovations in the field in a wide variety of conferences and
journals. Companies transfer this new knowledge directly to the
general public via services such as web search engines in order to
improve their information seeking experience.
In parallel, teaching IR is turning into an important aspect of
IR generally, not only because it is necessary to impart effective
search techniques to make the most of the IR tools available, but
also because we must provide a good foundation for those students
who will become the driving force of future IR technologies.
There are very few resources for teaching and learning in IR,
the major problem which this book is designed to solve. The
objective is to provide ideas and practical experience of teaching
and learning IR, for those whose job requires them to teach in one
form or another, and where delivering IR courses is a major part of
their working lives.
In this context of providing a higher profile for teaching and
learning as applied to IR, the co-editor of this book, Efthimis
Efthimiathis, had maintained a leading role in teaching and
learning within the domain of IR for a number of years. This book
represents a posthumous example of his efforts in the area, as he
passed away in April 2011. This book, his book, is dedicated to his
memory."
