The advent of computers in libraries made library automation a hot topic in the 1980s and 1990s, but this focus has dropped off over time, leaving much library automation research outdated. Library Automation and OPAC 2.0: Information Access and Services in the 2.0 Landscape brings library automation back to the forefront of cutting-edge research. In today's age of Web 2.0 and social networking, libraries are entering the new Library 2.0 era, and this reference will present current and future librarians with the necessary new library automation research they will need to keep their institutions up-to-date in today's constantly changing technological environment.

A collection of papers proposing, developing, and implementing logical IR models. After an introductory chapter on non-classical logic as the appropriate formalism with which to build IR models, papers are divided into groups on three approaches: logical models, uncertainty models, and meta-models. Topics include preferential models of query by navigation, a logic for multimedia information retrieval, logical imaging and probabilistic information retrieval, and an axiomatic aboutness theory for information retrieval. Can be used as a text for a graduate course on information retrieval or database systems, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Class-tested and coherent, this textbook teaches classical and web information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. It gives an up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections. All the important ideas are explained using examples and figures, making it perfect for introductory courses in information retrieval for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in computer science. Based on feedback from extensive classroom experience, the book has been carefully structured in order to make teaching more natural and effective. Slides and additional exercises (with solutions for lecturers) are also available through the book's supporting website to help course instructors prepare their lectures.

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.
