Customer Reviews

Good book

Good book. Clear and concise.

Excellent overview and well referenced

Korfhage does an excellent job covering a wide variety of storage and retrieval methods, providing the reader a well balanced overview of the field. The extensive references at the end of each chapter make further research very easy, however, most chapters are quite technical and will satisfy many readers' needs. The only shortcommings were the lack of case studies and somewhat brief coverage of internet search engines, relatively minor gripes for such a broad-ranging book.

An excellent choice!

A must have for everyone who wants to learn about information retrieval. It starts from the beggining and explains everything in a very comprehensive way.
