Library & information sciences; Information retrieval

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.

Reviews for Introduction to Modern Information Retrieval

For this third edition of a text for undergraduate and graduate students of library and information science, Chowdhury ... incorporates changes in the field since 2004 and provides a new chapter on citation indexing. The book is written from a relatively non-technical perspective, covering the spectrum of information storage and retrieval in a way that's relevant to an international readership. -- SciTech Book News Chowdhury provides a good understanding of where much of our current systems have come from ... this book would be a good resource for a basic information retrieval course. -- College & Research Libraries The full gamut of information is covered ... The text will be of great use to information practitioners to review their IR knowledge, and bring it up-to-date in many areas. -- Australian Academic and Research Libraries
