Features: If taking the popularization of "Yindu" knowledge as the starting point, the education of humanities and social science literature in China far predates that of science and engineering. However, due to the long-standing emphasis on science and engineering over the humanities in China's higher education, humanities and social science literature retrieval textbooks lag far behind their science and engineering counterparts in both variety and depth of content. Since the beginning of the 21st century, not only has China's higher education in the humanities and social sciences entered a brand-new stage of development, but the environment for utilizing literature information has also undergone rapid and ever-changing changes. The situation has placed higher demands on humanities and social science literature information textbooks, making it our inescapable historical responsibility to compile textbooks that meet these requirements. This textbook is a new attempt made under such circumstances.
