Peer reviewedCormack, Gordon V.; Clarke, Charles L. A.; Palmer, Christopher R.; To, Samuel S. L. – Information Processing & Management, 2000
Describes the MultiText information retrieval system that finds arbitrary passages of text, as opposed to complete documents, that are likely to be relevant. Discusses relevance ranking, term expansion, interactive user interface, and distributed searching used in experiments for TREC-6 (Text Retrieval Conference) in the ad hoc, high precision,…

Wacholder, Nina; Sharp, Mark; Liu, Lu; Yuan, Xiaojun; Song, Peng – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
Reports on the methodology used in an experiment whose objective was to discover whether information seekers display experimentally demonstrable preferences for index terms with particular properties, and if so, to analyze those preferences. Results provide strong evidence that it is possible to measure human preference for index terms.…

E-Referencer is an expert intermediary system for searching library online public access catalogs (OPACs) on the World Wide Web. It is implemented as a proxy server that mediates the interaction between the user and Boolean OPACs. It transforms a Boolean OPAC into a retrieval system with many of the search capabilities of Web search engines.…
