Organization and Retrieval of Information

This lecture talks about Information Retrievals(IR) in terms of the relationship with Information Organization (IO). We will discuss fundamental concepts in IR such as relevance and two approaches to information retrieval–user-centered approaches and system-centered approaches. In the lecture, we will have a short basic search exercise as well as an introduction of tools for retrieving and organizing information.
