Providing detailed discussions of measurement from a variety of viewpoints and a wide range of applications, this practical text examines how measurement is defined and used in information science, including documents/text/records, searching, output services, and data collection. The book is an excellent secondary or recommended text for courses in research methods, information retrieval, database management, and systems design. * * Covers the quantitative and qualitative aspects of measurement * Examines mathematical and statistical concepts * Explores measurements of databases and information retrieval

This will be the third edition of the highly successful "Text Information Retrieval Systems". The book's purpose is to teach people who will be searching or designing text retrieval systems how the systems work. For designers, it covers problems they will face and reviews currently available solutions to provide a basis for more advanced study. For the searcher its purpose is to describe why such systems work as they do. The book is primarily about computer-based retrieval systems, but the principles apply to nonmechanized ones as well. The book covers the nature of information, how it is organized for use by a computer, how search functions are carried out, and some of the theory underlying these functions. As well, it discusses the interaction between user and system and how retrieved items, users, and complete systems are evaluated. A limited knowledge of mathematics and of computing is assumed. This third edition will be updated to include coverage of the WWW and current search engines. In many cases, examples of non-web searching will be replaced with web-based illustrations. Coverage of interfaces, various features available to assist searchers, and areas in which search assistance is not available will also be covered. In addition, the book will have a web dimension which will include relevant material available online, to be used in conjunction with the text. It is a follow-up to the award winning 2nd Edition. It focuses on computer-based system but basic principles can be applied to any information seeking context.

This edition teaches people using or designing text retrieval systems how the systems work. For the designer, it covers problems they will face and reviews solutions to provide a basis for more advanced study. For those involved in searching for information, its purpose is to describe why information retrieval (or IR) systems work as they do. The book is primarily about computer-based retrieval systems, but the principles apply to nonmechanised ones as well. The book covers the nature of information, how it is organized for use by a computer, how search functions are carried out and some of the theory underlying these functions. This edition is updated to cover not only the World Wide Web, but also new developments on how IR systems are being designed. A limited knowledge of mathematics and computing is assumed.

Information retrieval of texts or abstracts--the processes of searching for and finding information in a database by use of a computer--is a communication process that often appears overly complex due to the technology involved. In this text the process is demystified and made accessible to all potential users. Although a knowledge of a higher order language (Pascal, C, or BASIC) and elementary algebra is useful, the general meaning of the text can be suitably appreciated with only a passing familiarity of information technology. Presents the workings of actual information retrieval systems Discusses the ambiguity of language and systems Explains techniques for overcoming problems Considers the role of users, representation of information, database content, and computer aspects

The critical demand for improved information systems would be alleviated if communications between two organisms were resolved.
