 Information Storage and Retrieval
by Robert R. Korfhage
The way information is stored, retrieved and displayed is changing. Simple
bibliographic databases are giving way to unregulated and unorganized multimedia data repositories, which can give the user great difficulty when
searching for information. A methodology is needed to keep all of this information in its various forms retrievable. This is the first modern survey of the
field of information storage and retrieval to discuss how to work with information in all its varying forms. It shows information professionals how to handle full-text,
graphics, video and audio, and how to distribute these massive databases over networks.Table of Contents

Process. Text Analysis. User Profiles and Their Use. Multiple Reference Point Systems. Retrieval Effectiveness Measures. Effectiveness Improvement
Techniques. Alternative Retrieval Techniques. Output Presentation. Document Access. The Ectosystem and Policy Issues. Appendices. Glossary. Index. 1997
