Review by Booklist Review
In this text, Chowdhury (professor of journalism, Information and Media Studies Group, University of Technology, Sydney) covers topics such as database technology, abstracting, indexing, users and user interfaces, multimedia and Internet searching, and trends. Besides revisions, a new chapter covers citation analysis. Chapters start with an introduction, quickly move to reviewing key elements, and conclude with a summation and list of references. The book is intended for an international readership comprising students of library and information science programmes, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The chapters Automatic Indexing and Organization, Searching and Retrieval, and Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval are dense and will challenge most undergrads. Screenshots tend to be small and unreadable. For LIS programs.--Fadel, Stephen Copyright 2010 Booklist
