課程概述

The course is designed to provide an introduction to the use, design and evaluation of information (IR) systems. It covers major components in the IR process such as information needs, search strategies, IR models and IR interaction. Students will acquire hand-on experiences with the design and evaluation of a digital library system. Special attention will be given to users’ information environment within which IR is situated.
