Reports on developments in text retrieval and text management, as presented to the IIS Conference. The subjects covered are comprehensive: system integration, thesauri and ranked output, the mainframe vs the micro, case studies of automated library facilities using computers in networks, quality assurance and multilingual text, document imaging and strategic planning, and hypertext tools.
 
Modern text retrieval systems are capable of storing vast quantities of text in ways that allow exact and appropriate data to be extracted, and their use is growing rapidly in all types of organizations where the efficient handling of text is of profound importance. This volume is a source of expert commentary and advice for information managers, computer specialists, and other professionals involved in the planning, design, operation and use of text retrieval systems.
