Strategies for searching online finding aids : a retrieval experiment

Source

Archivaria. 1997, no.44, S.72-101

Year

1997

Abstract

Reports a retrieval experiment using finding aids available through the WWW sites at the San Diego and Berkeley campuses of the University of California, that was designed to test various methods of searching online archival descriptions. Compares the precision and recall measures of 4 searching methods, discusses implications of the findings and offers suggestions for further research
