O'Connor, John – Information Processing and Management, 1986
Explains an experiment in text-searching retrieval for cancer questions which developed and used computer procedures (via human simulation) to select search words from medical dictionaries. This study is based on an earlier one in which search words were humanly selected, and the recall results of the two studies are compared. (Author/LRW)

Crowe, J. E.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Documentation, 1973
The techniques of search strategy design for substructure searches of the Wiswesser Line Notation (WLN) file are described in detail. The Index Chemicus Registry System'' was used. (13 references) (Author/SM)
Descriptors: Chemical Nomenclature, Classification, Data Processing, Information Dissemination
Minker, Jack; And Others – 1972
The objectives of this paper are to describe the effect of using weighted index terms in a document retrieval system, and to evaluate retrieval performance when queries are expanded by terms occurring in clusters with the query terms. Three data collections, each indexed by several methods, two of which were studied and reported on in previous…

Olson, Tom; And Others – 1973
WISE-ONE is a bibliographic information retrieval system which is designed to perform keyword searches of such data-bases as the ERIC RESUMAST and the ERIC CIJEMAST. Produced as a result of the search are the ERIC citation numbers, titles, authors, and, in the case of the journal file, the journal citation. Because WISE-ONE allows for nesting of…

Jewell, Sharon; Brandhorst, W. T. – 1973
The Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) system's computerized data base was the focus of a three-hour tutorial session on search strategies. This document is the workshop manual used by the tutorial participants. The discussion of the input phase of a computer search covers identification of the user population, receiving the inquiry,…

Hounsell, Dai; And Others – 1977
The purpose of this small scale study was to make a preliminary assessment of the potential value of the ERIC data base for educators in Britain. On-line searches of the ERIC data base were conducted for a sample of fourteen users who were asked to comment on the relevance of retrieved materials. Results indicate that ERIC can provide access to…

Leigh, William; And Others – Microcomputers for Information Management: An International Journal for Library and Information Services, 1986
Reports on the design and use of a computer system--SORT-AID--to assist bibliographic database searchers in the post-search, analysis phase of their work. Designed for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) installations, this system automatically determines the relevance of downloaded abstracts and provides facilities for editing…

Rauber, Andreas; Muller-Kogler, Alexander – 2001
With the number and types of documents in digital library systems increasing, tools for automatically organizing and presenting the content have to be found. While many approaches focus on topic-based organization and structuring, hardly any system incorporates automatic structural analysis and representation. Yet, genre information…

Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F. – 1969
The transfer of information through space and time in communication systems is often accompanied by significant delays which give rise to meaningful storage problems. Mathematical models have been developed for the study of these kinds of problems which are applicable to the design of manual, library-type, or mechanized information storage and…
