| Course Objectives | The objective of the course is to teach the principles of information storage and retrieval systems. Students will learn how effective information search and retrieval is interrelated with the organization and description of information to be retrieved. Students will also learn to use a set of tools and procedures for organizing information, will become familiar with the techniques involved in conducting effective searches of online information resources and will build a vertical/specialty search engine |
