Features: This book comprehensively and systematically introduces the knowledge of modern scientific and technological information retrieval, consisting of eight chapters divided into three parts. The first two chapters cover the basic principles and methods of information retrieval. Chapters three to five focus on manual retrieval tools, including important domestic and international comprehensive and specialized retrieval tools, as well as the retrieval of patents, scientific and technical reports, conference literature, and standard documents. Chapters six to eight deal with computer-assisted retrieval, including an introduction to electronic information resource retrieval, online and CD-ROM database retrieval, and network information resource retrieval. The book follows the principle of basing itself on manual retrieval while developing computer-assisted methods, appropriately reducing the proportion of manual retrieval and expanding that of computer-assisted retrieval, especially by adding methods for retrieving network databases and searching for and utilizing Internet information resources to meet the demands of modern information retrieval. This book can serve as a textbook for college and graduate students and is also suitable for reference by professionals in science, technology, management, and information fields.
