Description: Using libraries as examples, Implementation of Organizational Innovation discusses the implementation of improvements in information sources. It is the first book that contains a full and systematic description of information retrieval systems, using a unified approach to describe the fundamentals of information science as well as the basic theory of designing fully automated information retrieval (IR) systems. The book is a valuable tool both for information service professionals seeking new sources of innovation and for corporate managers to whom information is an asset as the basis for improved, innovative decisions. It is also an ideal text for courses on IR systems.
