An information retrieval (IR) system is designed to analyse,
process and store sources of information and retrieve those that
match a particular user's requirements. A bewildering range of
techniques is now available to the information professional
attempting to successfully retrieve information. It is recognized
that today's information professionals need to concentrate their
efforts on learning the techniques of computerized IR. However, it
is this book's contention that it also benefits them to learn the
theory, techniques and tools that constitute the traditional
approaches to the organization and processing of information. In
fact much of this knowledge may still be applicable in the storage
and retrieval of electronic information in digital library
environments. The fully revised third edition of this highly
regarded textbook has been thoroughly updated to incorporate major
changes in this rapidly expanding field since the second edition in
2004, and a complete new chapter on citation indexing has been
added. Unique in its scope, the book covers the whole spectrum of
information storage and retrieval, including: users of IR and IR
options; database technology; bibliographic formats; cataloguing
and metadata; subject analysis and representation; automatic
indexing and file organization; vocabulary control; abstracts and
indexing; searching and retrieval; user-centred models of IR and
user interfaces; evaluation of IR systems and evaluation
experiments; online and CD-ROM IR; multimedia IR; hypertext and
mark-up languages; web IR; intelligent IR; natural language
processing and its applications in IR; citation analysis and IR; IR
in digital libraries; and trends in IR research. Illustrated with
many examples and comprehensively referenced for an international
audience, this is an indispensable textbook for students of library
and information studies. It is also an invaluable aid for
information practitioners wishing to brush up on their skills and
keep up to date with the latest techniques.
