Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Information retrieval (IR) is a complex human activity supported by sophisticated systems. Information science has contributed much to the design and evaluation of previous generations of IR system development and to our general understanding of how such systems should be designed and yet, due to the increasing success and diversity of IR systems, many recent textbooks concentrate on IR systems themselves and ignore the human side of searching for information. This book is the first text to provide an information science perspective on IR. Unique in its scope, the book covers the whole spectrum of information retrieval, including: history and background information behaviour and seeking task-based information searching and retrieval approaches to investigating information interaction and behaviour information representation access models evaluation interfaces for IR interactive techniques web retrieval, ranking and personalization recommendation, collaboration and social search multimedia: interfaces and access. Readership: Senior undergraduates and masters' level students of all information and library studies courses and practising LIS professionals who need to better appreciate how IR systems are designed, implemented and evaluated.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Readership: This much-needed textbook will be essential reading for records managers, archivists and information professionals who manage records in the financial sector. It will also be invaluable for individuals engaged in a wide range of disciplines who rely on records to meet the increasing number of legal and regulatory obligations to which institutions engaged in global banking and finance are now subject. These include: compliance professionals, data protection officers, governance professionals, regulators and risk managers, senior managers and directors, chief operating officers and IT specialists. Although there are a number of publications covering records management generically, very few are focused on the specific challenges of particular sectors, and fewer still on current regulatory, legal and governance issues associated with managing records in global banking and finance businesses.This timely book fills this gap by exploring these complex issues fully, and offers strategies and examples of best practice to meet the recordkeeping challenges to which they give rise in corporate and commercial banking enterprises operating in global capital markets. The examples and cases studies encompass recordkeeping in investment banking, asset management, brokerage and other financial services which serve global markets, and the book will be of particular significance to the financial sector. However, covering as it does the issues that arise from operating across borders and jurisdictions, it will also be of relevance to multi-national businesses in other sectors.The key chapters cover:¿ setting the scene: background and concepts¿ regulatory and legal compliance¿ common trends in financial services: balancing risk and return¿ litigation-related issues¿ recordkeeping approaches.Whilst the expert team of authors are careful to ensure that the book reflects recognized records management principles, the accessible language used will assure its value to information professionals and others without a formal records management background.…
