Literature retrieval course design, how to write an information retrieval course syllabus

Ah. That's a lot.

There are three main methods of literature search: the first is the common method. This is a search method that uses reference books to find literature materials.

If the necessary search tools can be found, common methods can be used in order to quickly and accurately find relatively complete literature. The second is the retrospective method, which is a retrieval method that uses the bibliography attached to the back of the literature as a clue to find other documents. In the absence of search tools or in the absence of sufficient search tools, this search method can be fully utilized.

However, the number of references attached to each document is limited, so it is more likely that the data will be missed by using this method alone. The third is the round-robin method, which is also called the mixed method, which is a retrieval method that combines the retrospective method with the common method to find literature in a circular way. The general order of using this method is to first use the search tool, that is, to find some literature through common methods, and then use the bibliography attached to these documents to search for the materials retroactively.

If you already have basic search tools and have a certain amount of literature, you can use the round-robin method to search for literature.

There are several reading methods of literature, such as skimming, close reading, and intensive reading, each of which has its own characteristics and uses, and readers can choose reading methods flexibly and appropriately according to their own needs and the situation of the literature itself.

You're also a big deal? Wafangdian's?

There are many ways to search for literature, which you can describe in chronological order, which is related to the development of science and technology... The same is true for literature reading

Literature search methodology.

Direct method. Also known as the common method, it refers to the method of directly using the retrieval system (tool) to retrieve literature information. It is further divided into the forward inspection method, the reverse inspection method and the spot check method.

Shuncha method. The sequential search method refers to the method of using the retrieval system to retrieve literature information in chronological order, from far to near. This method can collect systematic literature on a topic, and it is suitable for literature retrieval on larger topics.

For example, if you know the beginning age of a topic, and now you need to understand the whole process of its development, you can use the forward search method to start from the original era and gradually move to the recent era.

Reverse check. The backward search method is a method of using search tools in reverse chronological order from near to far, from new to old. The focus of this approach is on recent literature. This method is the fastest way to get the most up-to-date information.

Spot checks. The spot check method refers to the method of selecting the time period when the literature information about the project is most likely or appearing the most, and using the search tool to conduct a key search according to the characteristics of the project.

Retrospective. It refers to the method of tracing the original text (cited literature) one by one by using the references listed at the back of the document without using a general search system, and then expanding the scope of literature information from the reference list listed after the original text. It can snowball and obtain better search results based on the citation relationship between documents.

Round-robin method. Also known as the segmented or integrated approach. It is a direct method and retrospective method alternately used in staging, in order to learn from each other's strengths and cooperate with each other to obtain better search results.

The syllabus of the information retrieval course is written as follows:

1. Basic information of the course.

Course Title: Literature Search; Duration: 18; Experimental hours: 10

Course nature: It is a scientific method course to cultivate students' awareness of information and intelligence, and master the use of manual and computer methods to obtain knowledge, information and information from literature and information sources.

Course attributes: optional courses for majors; Prerequisite: "Scientific Use of Libraries" public elective course.

Applicable majors (directions): all majors of the college; Responsible unit: Library.

2. The nature, status and tasks of the course.

Nature Tanfeng: The course "Literature Retrieval" is a scientific method course to cultivate students' awareness of information and information, and master the use of manual and computer methods to obtain knowledge, information and intelligence from literature and information sources.

Status: This course plays an important role in the ability training of college students and the improvement of their overall quality.

Task: To enable students to understand the basic knowledge of literature retrieval and the basic knowledge of literature information retrieval in this discipline and related disciplines, learn how to use commonly used printed literature retrieval tools and reference books, be familiar with important computer network retrieval systems at home and abroad, know how to obtain and use literature information, and enhance self-learning ability and research ability.

The objectives of the course in terms of skills:

1. Master the means, types and principles of information resource retrieval.

2. Master the types and characteristics of literature and digital information resources.

3. Familiar with important computer network retrieval systems at home and abroad, and master the methods and techniques of computer retrieval.

4. Understand various e-books and Chinese and foreign language network database resources, and master the search methods, methods and skills of various e-books and network databases.

5. Be able to independently select appropriate search tools or computer databases according to the search topic, and comprehensively use a variety of search tools or databases to complete the search topic.

Although this book only lists a separate chapter dedicated to the knowledge of computer retrieval, because the chapters involving the specific examination of literature are interspersed with the content of computer retrieval, the content of computer retrieval is no longer embellished, but a realistic portrayal of the complementarity of manual and computer inspection methods in the literature retrieval of the library in the transition period.
