• An information-retrieval text written from a computer-science perspective rather than a user-centered perspective. The first nine chapters address issues including modeling, retrieval evaluation, query languages and options, text and multimedia languages, text operations, and indexing and searching. Six remaining chapters, written by contributing researchers, address special current issues such as parallel and distributed IR and digital libraries. Annotation c.

• This is a rigorous and complete textbook for a first course on information retrieval from the computer science (as opposed to a user-centred) perspective. The advent of the Internet and the enormous increase in volume of electronically stored information generally has led to substantial work on IR from the computer science perspective - this book provides an up-to-date student oriented treatment of the subject.
