Synopsis

It is now being increasingly felt that information technology is a major facilitator and catalyst for accelerating growth of the economy. It has integrated the world by the use of internet. The pervasive influence of information technology is so strong that there is hardly any sphere of human life in which it has not been able to make a niche for itself. Accordingly, the present-day world expects from everyone to possess at least some acquaintance with this technology. The present book is primarily about computer-based retrieval systems and its objective is to teach the basics of retrieval systems and its working. Information retrieval is a communication process that links the information user to a librarian. The communication normally involves the processing of text. An in-depth study of the present book will acquaint the readers with this technology. It is a complete treatise on information process that includes indexing, abstracting, citation indexing, bibliometrics, webometrics, and Greenstone software. In addition, it provides a detailed study on application of ISO-9000 in the libraries, essence of TQM, resource sharing through networks, E-books and governance of intranet. Apart from these, it analytically approaches to information technology as a revolution in higher education and its impacts. The present book is extremely useful for all computer users in general and those concerned with libraries and library science in particular.
