Text Retrieval Systems In Information Management

This Book Aims At Helping The Reader Develop A Clear Under- Standing Of Text Retrieval Systems, Including Its Nature And Characteristics; Steps To Be Followed In Developing A Text Retrieval System; Software Packages Available For The Purpose; Guidelines For Choosing An Appropriate Software, And So On. To Make The Text Suitable For All Kinds Of Readers, Chapters And The Basics Of Database Technology, Database Management, And File Structures Appropriate For Text Retrieval Systems Have Been Provided. This Book Also Discusses The Major Features Of Library Management Systems (Lmss), The Software Packages Used For Automating Library House-Keeping Operations.The Trend Is To Developing Systems Which Can Provide The Actual Information Sought By The Use Rather Than Reference To The Information Sources Or Part Of The Text Where The Search Term Appears. Such Systems Apply Expert Systems And Natural Language Processing Techniques, And Are Called Knowledge-Based Systems (Kbss). This Book Describes Features Of These Systems And Mentions Some Of The Applications Of Kbss In Library And Information Activities.

Information Science in Transition

Are we at a turning point in digital information? The expansion of the internet was unprecedented; search engines dealt with it in the only way possible - scan as much as they could and throw it all into an inverted index. But now search engines are beginning to experiment with deep web searching and attention to taxonomies, and the Semantic Web is demonstrating how much more can be done with a computer if you give it knowledge. What does this mean for the skills and focus of the information science (or sciences) community? Should information designers and information managers work more closely to create computer based information systems for more effective retrieval? Will information scienc...

Annual Review of Information Science & Technology

ARIST, published annually since 1966, is a landmark publication within the information science community. It surveys the landscape of information science and technology, providing an analytical, authoritative, and accessible overview of recent trends and significant developments. The range of topics varies considerably, reflecting the dynamism of the discipline and the diversity of theoretical and applied perspectives. While ARIST continues to cover key topics associated with classical information science (e.g., bibliometrics, information retrieval), editor Blaise Cronin is selectively expanding its footprint in an effort to connect information science more tightly with cognate academic and professional communities.
