Information Access & Retrieval

Locating information on the Internet is simple or complex, depending on your point of view. Search engines such as Google are popular ways to quickly find information on the Web but they may lack precision. Sophisticated searching systems of subject databases or library catalogs may provide precision but apply to a limited universe of content. Understanding how to develop search mechanisms that are useful to a wide array of users with differing needs, in many different subject areas, continues to be a challenge. New types of searching, using visualization or semantics, are also being tested. CNI keeps the community informed of developments in this area.
