Review
"This is a marvelous collection. The papers have been selected with care, and provide an unprecedented concentration of knowledge about information retrieval. The introductory material, by two of the leading researchers in IR, is itself a valuable reference to the history and status of the field and the important ideas in it. This book will instantly become the most important reference in the field."

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best collection of IR publications I ever read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Readings in Information Retrieval (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Multimedia Information and Systems) (Paperback)
This book contains many high level, concise and relevant documents. The publications cover many aspects of IR from liguistic algorithms or suggetions to actual testing systems. When is the sequel coming out?
